Welcome to our house in the Pyrenees

Our traditional village house is full of character, and provides an ideal base for your holiday in the Mediterranean Pyrenees at any time of year.  It is located on a narrow pedestrian street in Vernet les Bains (alt. 600m), a picturesque village nestled in the foothills of the Canigou, the sacred mountain of the Catalans (alt. 2785m). The house was built on the steep 100_1706slopes of the old village in 1862, and boasts magnificent views from the terrace over Vernet les Bains and the mountains beyond. 

Vernet les Bains is a reasonably large and active village by Pyreneean standards, with its own shops and businesses, including a wonderful public swimming pool, spa baths, and colourful market two or three times a week.  The village provides an ideal starting point for exploring the mountains, with100_1704 beautiful hikes and walks suitable for all levels.  Vernet is also close to the sandy beaches (and historic sites) of the Mediterranean, and with great Winter ski slopes less than an hour away on the high plateau of Cerdagne, there is always something to do, in every season.

Vernet is also ideal for some serious relaxation; there can be few better ways to recharge your batteries than sitting in the sun on the balcony in front of the timeless mountains.  Unsurprisingly, our house has also been used several times for writing retreats.  We hope to welcome you at our Vernet home soon!
