From the owner

Nestled in the foothills of the French Pyrenees, Ceret is the perfect location for a relaxing, cultured stay. Within its winding streets and squares lies 16bis Rue de Vieux Ceret. Once two townhouses, this 16th Century maison de ville has been classically refurbished while retaining the French traditional features like stone coving, wooden ceiling beams and the original terracotta floor tiles. Built as part of the original walled city consisting of the Church and two curved cobblestone streets, 16bis is a perfect location to explore this delightfully shady, yet bustling town.

Begin with the bakery that opens at 7am and is 30 seconds away from the house. From the Easter Procession to the Cherry Festival in June, there is always plenty to see and do in Ceret itself. You will certainly enjoy the fountains, cafe terraces, the Museum of Modern Art, public swimming pool, bullring, sports grounds and the busy Saturday market.

Further details

To allow visitors to enjoy greater flexibility regarding arrival and departure times, we have installed a lockbox at the door where the keys are kept. You will be told the code when you confirm a booking. A local woman will ensure that the house is clean and tidy, the beds freshly made and hand towels provided. The many stairs may be difficult for elderly or infirm visitors and the stairs and balconies make the house unsuitable for small children. There is a folding fabric cot/playpen for a baby and ample room for it in the large bedroom. Strollers or bicycles can be stored in the entrance hallway. Upon request, during the winter months single adult women can stay as "lodgers" for a week at a time, sharing the house and facilities with the female owner.

Further details indoors

Spacious is the word that best describes this large three-storey house with 765 sq.ft. of comfortable living space on each of the two floors above the ground floor entrance and rez-de-chaussee. The first floor consists of a modern kitchen, dining room and living room with air conditioning, satellite, convertible A/C, flat-screen TV, DVD player with many DVDs, and portable fans for warm weather . In the cooler weather there is a warm air heat pump, cast iron stove and portable electric radiators for cozy winter nights. The top floor has sleeping accommodation for 5 or 6 people in two double bedrooms plus mezzanine, each with a balcony and ceiling fan. There is also a spacious mezzanine area with air conditioning/heat pump unit, suitable for sleeping or just a relaxing read. Newly renovated, there is a separate WC with wash handbasin and bath/shower room on this floor and a new automatic washing machine. The house has two air conditioning/heat pump units and a new shower/toilet/whb on the entrance floor. Also new this year with the WiFi is a landline with free calls to EU landlines, plus satellite TV with many sports channels and all the British and Irish TV and radio channels.

.You can just imagine having breakfast on the large rooftop terrace with panoramic views of the surrounding town and hills. Ceret is a quiet town and Rue de Vieux Ceret is too narrow for cars so it is very peaceful.

Further details outdoors

You will especially enjoy the tranquil delights of strolling the winding cobblestone streets of Ceret , dining al fresco in the many nearby restaurants, attending classical concerts in the nearby Church and music college, and hiking in the hills overlooking the town. A large municipal pool and tennis courts are available in July and August. Visitors do not need a car to access Ceret because there is plenty of public transport to/from Perpignan and towns in the area. There are two supermarkets, an Internet cafe and the famous Saturday outdoor market in Ceret. Free parking is available at Les Tins public carpark three minutes walk from the house. There is a lake and water adventure playground at St. Jean Lakes, 10 minutes from Ceret. If you have a car you will certainly enjoy a visit to the Salvadore Dali Museum in Figueres, Spain, an hour south, or to Barcelona two hours away. Closer to Ceret you can enjoy a trip on the unique Yellow Train which is one of the famous Train Journeys of the World.

Situated in heart of Céret amongst winding streets/alleys. Enjoyed the freedom from traffic, quiet etc. I found the church bells pleasant, rather than a disturbance! Easy parking. Great market… More

Response from the owner
Thank you for suggesting the vegetarian restaurant beside the Museum of Modern Art. French towns are quieter in October but there is still lots to see and do. I love the €1 bus fare into Perpignan and surrounds. True, my house has flights of stairs but some guests with reduced mobility have enjoyed the suite on the entrance level. Please come again!

Response from the owner
Hello Emma, Thank you for your kind words about my house and the town of Ceret. As you said, the house is bigger than people anticipate and there was plenty room for the four of you. Next time you come you will be able to enjoy my brand new double-glazed wooden windows and a new ventilation system throughout my 3-storey house. I closed for a few months this winter to have heating renovations completed. Thank you for leaving the house so clean and tidy. You are welcome to return anytime!

Response from the owner
Hello, Thank you for your enthusiastic review. It'm glad that you enjoyed your three weeks in Ceret in March when the flavour of Ceret is very different from the summertime. The evenings can be chilly and I see that you made good use of the logs in the entrance hall for the sittingroom stove. Thank you for leaving the house so clean and tidy. You are welcome back anytime! Sheena
