From the owner

One of three comfortable apartments, built in a renovated Catalan farmhouse apartment on the ground floor, but slightly elevated for two to three people, located quietly at the back of the old farmhouse, a building of the nineteenth century. It includes a living room, a dining room with kitchenette, overlooking a terrace shaded by a pergola and a small private garden. It also includes a bedroom (1 double) with ensuite bathroom (shower Italian). Beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. El Portal is a farmhouse of the early nineteenth century renovated and decorated with the greatest attention, the edge of a small picturesque village at the foot of the Pyrenees, near Ceret and Collioure, Vives. With Mount Canigou as a majestic backdrop, Vives is nestled amid rolling vineyards, forests of cork oaks and pines, while remaining very accessible, 10 minutes from the motorway (A9) 10 minutes from a swimming lake and 25 minutes from the Mediterranean. Our region is rich in historical, artistic, musical stories, experiences in wine and abundance of trails invites you to hiking, biking, or any other activity related to nature.

Response from the owner
Merci ! C'est vrai, nous avons mis un effort tout particulier pour donner aux gîtes tout le confort possible pour un séjour de plus longue durée, car notre région vaut plus qu'une courte étape ! En fait, nous les avons équipés comme pour nous-mêmes.
