FARMHOUSE STUDIO APPARTEMENT WITH A VIEW TO LIVE FOR !
Our accommodation is situated directly underneath the main Catalan farmhouse where we ourselves live on a south facing terrace, giving stunning vistas across the mountains to Spain on left and the village of Montferrer perched above, right. The studio is a small but delightful self contained flatlet, comprising an attractive and comfortable sitting/dining room with doors opening onto terrace, an adjoining fully equipped kitchenette and bathroom with shower. Stairs from sitting room lead to cosy mezzanine with double bed. Outside there's a private terrace with steps leading to private garden area. BBQ and garden furniture provided. Plenty storage utility room. Montferrer is a tiny village mountain in Catalunia, 7kms above the Tech valley. The area boasts cherries, apricots, peaches, good wines, cheese and plenty seafood on the coast which is approx 45mins away. The village has its own cafe, bread depot and restaurant .Free swimming pool open July and August. Nearby golf course. Ideal for hikers and bikers .Many wonderful opportunities for long or short walks from the doorstep
Nearby Ceret has lovely regional market every Saturday morning and Figueres also has a huge bustling market on Tues, Thurs and Saturdays. We are situated 4 kms down the hill away from the famous Gorges de la Fou purported to be the narrowest Gorge at least in Europe.Daily visits from April until October. An hours drive away is the beautiful and extensive bird sanctuary of St Pere Pescador.A wonderful place to visit extending to the coast at Roses--lovely picnic areas and hiking for as many kilometres (or not!) as the mood takes you. At Perpignan there is much summer entertainment including a streeet music festival every Thursday evening, cinemas with several 'version original' movies as well as French ones and numerous interesting and diverse restaurants.There are two theatres and an international Photojournal exhibition every September. We have our own gold medal winning cheese producer in the village .Also a thriving cafe which sells bread and croissants and a small selection of groceries.Our restaurant is run by Micheline and Serge who are excellent chefs and produce great food prepared with love and care using only fresh and locally sourced produce. The nearby lake at St Jean Pla de Corts provides a lovely setting for summer picnics and has a restaurant and a cafe.It also has pedaloes and canoes for hire,plus a very exciting high tree walk with several levels of difficulty to choose from.The lake restaurant also hosts themed musical evenings once a week. There is a small daily market at Amelie les Bains (15 mins away) and a much larger one on Thursdays.In the small market place, an oyster stall functions twice a week so one can purchase a delicious plate of opened oysters or mussels and then sit enjoying them in the pretty square with a glass of white wine from one of the three bars surrounding the square. The nearby coast provides a wealth of places to visit either this side of the border or in Spain . Collioure is renowned for it beauty and next to it is Port Vendres (a favourite haunt of Rene Macintosh --you can see the spots he painted when you stroll around the town ).Port Vendres has some lovely eating places overlooking the Port and the owner will be happy to advise. This location is unbeatable for those who like to walk.An enormous choice of mountain or coastal paths.

We had a perfectly relaxing stay in this lovely little apartment. It was a truly beautiful location and met our holiday needs as somewhere to relax in peace with everything we needed. I would highly recommend if this is what you require of a little break.
Sur la terrasse du gîte, les heures passent à contempler le paysage et sa lumière changeante, à écouter le silence habité par les bruissements de la nature. C’est l’endroit idéal pour se ressourcer à l’énergie de la montagne. Merci à Nicky pour son accueil et ses attentions.
Excellent accueil de Nicky et séjour très agréable, calme, beauté des paysages. Belles randonnées et visites, un lieu pas très touristique à découvrir. Habitants très sympathiques dans les villages.
Logement avec tout ce qu'il faut, bien équipé
Je recommande.
We hebben een fijne tijd doorgebracht in de knusse gite van Nicole. De plek is bijzonder rustgevend. Heerlijk om daar naar terug te keren na een dagje aan de drukke kust of 1 van de pittoreske, maar goed bezochte dorpjes in de omgeving. Heerlijk wandelen daar ook.
Maison petite mais avec tout ce qu il faut,très calme . Hôtesse discrète ,gentille et prévenante.Seul bemol,route pour arriver au site un peu compliquée et absence de parking.
Lugar perfecto para relajarse. El único problema que tuvimos es que la limpieza se debía de haber hecho hacia días y al estar en el campo había bastantes arañas.

Je ne pas tout à fait compris le review en Espagnol ,mais je pense que c’est parce que il y avait quelques toiles d’araignées?
Désolé et pourquoi vous nous n’avait pas signaler ? Normalement je fait un inspection après la femme de ménage à fait son travail
Nous fait un maximum effort pour que tout soit propre mais c’est vrais que en été les insects sont plus nombreux
Le gîte est petit mais le coin, un peu perdu et très calme, est très agréable.
Nicole est charmante et discrète.
Plein de randos alentours.
Hors saison pas grand chose d’ouvert, prévoir.
Heerlijk rustig, veel natuur en schitterend uitzicht.
Host is ontzettend lief en attend, ze heeft een super lieve hond en twee katten. Huisje is klein maar fijn, alles is aanwezig. Veel wamdelroutes in de buurt. Als je van rust en natuur houdt is dit echt een aanrader!
Un petit studio plein de charme dans un endroit très agréable pour le calme et la vue
Agréable séjour, hôtesse agréable et discrète. Bien si on fait de la randonnee et un musée d'art contemporain à Céret qui vaut le détour.
Lieu très reposant mais pas adapté à des genoux ou des hanches qui prennent de l'âge....
L'endroit est génial, plus beau même que dans les photos. La maison est très agréable, confortable et accueillante. Nicky nous a très bien accueillis. Elle nous a fourni les explications nécessaires pour visiter l'environnement, qui est lui-même magnifique. Conclusion: c'est un endroit où l'on va revenir avec plaisir.

Une hôtesse charmante et très symphatique.
Un acceuil chaleureux.
Pour les amoureux du calme, de la montagne et des superbes randonnées, je vous recommande vivement cet endroit.
merci à Nicky pour ce séjour magnifique. Cet endroit est splendide, l'hébergement est superbe et Nicky est une hôtesse d'une immense gentillesse. Je recommande vivement !!!!!
Just what we were looking for! A very quiet and cozy place with great views to the mountains. We enjoyed a lot to sit outside, having a cup of coffee and reading surrounded by nature. We only spend one weekend there, but we got in love with the place and we wish to come back very soon!! And hopefully for a longer stay :)
Thank you Nicky to share your wonderful house!

Le calme et la beauté du paysage
La propriété en elle même est très agréable. La situation est isolée, le village de montferrer éloigné et il n y a aucune activité touristique. Sauf un point positif la piscine municipale gratuite. Les chemins de randonnée sont peu entretenus pour certains. Visiblement la commune ne fait pas d efforts. ( terrain de tennis et golf miniature fermés par manque d entretien...)

Lovely little farmhouse with an amazing view
The little farmhouse is near the road to the village Montferrer. The road is good to drive. We enjoyed this cosy accomodation which is fine for two person. The view from the terrace is amazing. Couldn't get enough. Nicole is a very lovely landlady and giving much space. Thank you Jutta

Für Individualisten einfach toll!
Wir waren im September 2011 (nicht im Mai 2013, aber leider kann ich das korrekte Datum nicht mehr angeben) in diesem Apartment, sind noch heute begeistert und würden jederzeit wieder kommen!
Das Apartment ist in einem ehemaligen Stallgebäude entstanden und ist eher klein, aber sehr liebevoll und gemütlich eingerichtet und für zwei Personen perfekt. Außerdem gibt es zusätzlich einen Abstellraum nebenan, außerhalb der eigentlichen Wohnung, in dem man viel unterbringen kann. Dort befindet sich auch ein weiterer Kühlschrank mit Gefrierfach, Liegestühle und ein Grill.
Die Küche ist sehr klein, aber mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Wir haben sehr häufig dort gekocht, weil wir bei der tollen Aussicht von der Terrasse gar nicht woanders hin wollten! Die Aussicht über das ganze Tal ist genial und wirklich so, wie auf den Bildern.
Die Vermieterin wohnt im angegliederten Haupthaus, war während unseres Aufenhaltes aber kaum da und wenn, haben wir sie kaum bemerkt. Sie war sehr freundlich, der Empfang sehr nett, die Abwicklung einfach und problemlos, und es hat uns an nichts gefehlt.
Handtücher und Bettwäsche sind ausreichend vorhanden und wurden nach einer Woche gewechselt.
Zu beachten ist vielleicht eines: Die Lage, wie sie hier auf der Karte angegeben ist, ist nicht ganz richtig. Die Wohnung liegt nicht in Arles-sur-Tech, sondern etwa 6 km weiter, einige Kurven vor Montferrer, und ein Auto ist wirklich zwingend notwendig. Baguette zum Frühstück kann man in Montferrer bekommen, das etwa 10 min. zu Fuß entfernt ist.
Wer gerne bei absoluter Ruhe und toller Aussicht Abends ein Glas Wein genißen möchte, ist hier absolut richtig!
