Pyrenees Orientales villa rent details
THE LOVELY COMFORTABLE VILLA & GREAT VIEWS & SHARES LARGE POOL
This is an exceptional setting. Nestling in the foothills of the Pyrenees lies the attractive village of Llauro.
just a short stroll above the village is a spacious villa within a large garden with scenery around it to take your breath away.
The villa also has the use of a beautiful large pool nearby outside of the high season of july and august.
From your terrace you just sit with a glass of wine and enjoy the smell of the sweet wild herbs in the garden and an un-interrupted view across the plain of Roussillon and out to the blue Mediterranean in the distance.
The village has a local bar and shop. The villa, is owned by a local school teacher and her family live in the village and don't be surprised if they leave basket of flowers or local garden tomatoes on your doorstep.
The villa is nicely decorated inside and the views from the bedrooms are exactly what you come on holiday for. There is a large lounge, fully equipped kitchen and two bedrooms, separate toilet and shower on the ground floor and a single bed up on the very attractive mezzanine. There is a large outside sun terrace.
With natural views on all four sides and not overlooked, this villa provides the perfect peaceful setting. Yet the little village of Llauro sits just beneath the villa and houses a small grocery store, a bar/grill and a post office.
Just five minutes in the car brings you to the larger village of Fourques with a good butcher and baker. Just over 10minutes by car brings you to the famous town of Ceret with bank and superb food market. Just outside Ceret is a large supermarket and two more at the nearby town of le Boulou. The countryside around Llauro is laced with small villages, all with their own colour and quiet shady spots from which to watch the world go by.
THE WONDERFUL HOLIDAY LOCATION OF LLAURO
Llauro is a pretty Pyrenees hillside village 26 kms south of Perpignan, just over 20 kms from the beautiful Cote Vermeille on the Roussillon coast and only 10 kms from the Spanish border.
The immediate vicinity to Llauro has the attraction of un-spoilt villages whose living is made from wine making, Cherries, Apricots and Peaches. The Spanish border is never far away and this adds great diversity to a holiday in this sun-drenched corner of Roussillon.
The attractive and world famous towns of Ceret and Collioure with their artistic heritage and the colourful, bustling city of Perpignan are all local to the villa as are long stretches of sandy beaches. The attractive village of Llauro has a shop, bar, post office and wine cellar and just minutes away in either direction via spectacular scenic drives there are many traditional villages with local restaurants and butchers and bakers.
There are also many local markets in the area and at le boulou and ceret, large supermarkets.
THIS REGION HAS EVERYTHING TO OFFER
From Ceret you choose whether to head East for the coast at Argeles and Collioure or whether to head West to the famous water spar town of Amelie-les-bains and further out to the Frontier with Spain over the Pyrenees with breathtaking views at Mollo. Spain can also be reached over the Pyrenees at Coustouges, Perthus and via the spectacular coastal road into the CostaBrava.
Just over a ridge of the Pyrenean foothills overlooking Llauro can be seen the peak of the magnificent Mount Canigou. For many centuries this was regarded as the highest peak in the Pyrenees and was thought by ancient Catalan people to have magical powers. The sight of Canigou is certainly impressive and there are many guided walks and tours to enjoy Canigou and the surrounding Pyrenean foothills.
Llauro is nestled among many vineyards, some with appellation status and some offering very reasonably priced wine from their collective/co-operative. You are able to taste the wines at many caves and direct with the vineyards.
There are also some lovely restaurants tucked away in the villages around Llauro where there is no nicer place to sample the local wines accompanied by a wholesome lunch or dinner.
