Garden furniture, hammocks and barbeque are provided. Nestled in the foothills of the Pyrenees, it is an ideal base for mountain walking and cycling with the GR10 just outside the gate. Beaches, watersports and sailing are 20 minutes away on the Mediterranean coast at St Cyprien and Argeles Sur Mer and with the Spanish border 5 minutes away, Barcelona, Girona and the Costa Brava are all easily accessible.

The apartment was renovated last year and is light and airy with amazing mountain views.
Villa Maureillas is the ideal base for a wide range of activities to suit just about everyone. The nearest town is Ceret, famous for its cherries, its modern art museum (which includes pieces by Picasso and Matisse) and its lively Saturday market. During the summer months there are festivals, music and street entertainment of every kind almost weekly in the local towns and villages.
