La Ville - Something different - A town house with original features, modern facilities and 4 bathrooms.
House in
Prades, Pyrenees-Orientales, Languedoc-Roussillon, France
4 bedroom(s), 4 bathroom(s), sleeps 10, self catering
Our home is a tall, old town house slotted into the bend of a quiet side street. No two walls are at right angles, so modernising the interior was a challenge. What we haven’t done is change the character of the house. What we have done is made it really comfortable, put in three new bathrooms and given you a great base for your holiday.

About the House
The ground floor has a rustic flagstoned hall leading to an airy library/bedroom, oval spiral staircase, large bathroom and separate WC. The first floor has a sunny, artist designed sitting room, fully equipped kitchen and an elegant dining room with its original, ornate moulded plaster ceiling and an open fire.
The second floor consists of a flexible suite of double bedroom, dressing room and en-suite shower room that can be used for a couple, friends or a family. There is also another double bedroom with en-suite shower room. The third floor attic has been converted to a large characterful bedroom with en-suite shower room.
At the back of the house is a completely private walled courtyard. It has a wisteria and mature pepper tree that provides shade in the heat of the day. There is garden furniture including chairs and a table. The courtyard is the perfect place to relax in summer. It is cool and the sunlight is dappled by the tree.
On the south side of the third floor is a large open sun terrace. The terrace faces due south and has excellent views on all sides. The view is dominated by the Canigou mountain. There are a number of plants on the terrace including cactuses and two olive trees, which fruit in summer. The terrace catches sun throughout the day, even in winter it gets hot!
About the Area
Prades is a pretty French town with a big and colourful market on Tuesday mornings. The Romanesque church has the largest baroque Reredos in France. There are cafes, brasseries and restaurants as well as a good range of shops all around the town square. There are events and festivals throughout the year. Spanish cellist Pablo Casals fled to Prades during the Spanish civil war, stayed and established the festival that now bears his name. The Catalan summer school takes over the town for two weeks in August, and there is dancing in the square every night.
The town lies in at the heart of the Conflent valleys. The confluence of a number of rivers, the region is exceptionally green and fertile. The local produce is varied and tasty - summer peaches are a particular
treat. There are hot springs, caves, beautiful woods and mountains. This landscape offers numerous opportunities for walking, hiking, riding, fishing, windsurfing, cycling, climbing, caving and bird watching. Mediterranean beaches are 30 minutes away. In winter the nearest ski resorts are just 45km away.
Prades is also in french Catalonia. There are many pretty villages, fortified towns, coastal watchtowers, castles, abbeys and museums throughout the area. Many of our guests keep coming back because there is so much to do and see.
