Luxury cottage in the heart of a preserved site

Old forge from the eighteenth century renovated and converted into a beautiful loft style cottage. A queen size bed and two single size beds are available for a couple of adults and two children / teenagers. A baby bed can also be added, if needed. A modern kitchen with oven, gas cooker and fridge is available.

The private infinity pool offers panoramic views of the surrounding nature. Deckchairs and parasol on the wood terrace provide all the comfort to enjoy this peaceful corner of paradise. The area is south oriented and protected from the wind.

A private stone terrace is also reserved to our customers. It is surrounded by flowers and trees and has table and chairs to eat outside.

The serenity of a haven preserved in the bush with all modern amenities and an organic and gourmet catering service based on products from the garden. The country estate of fifteen hectares offers treks through the forest of cork oaks and along the Saint Amans river as well as panoramic views of the peak of Canigou and coastline.

We live in the main farmhouse a few steps from the cottage and we will be happy to facilitate the stay of our guests: laundry service on demand, exotic or Mediterranean food made from organic produce from our garden (we can easily suit particular applications: vegan, gluten free meal ...).

Wonderful location and very tranquil
Incredibly remote and rural location with the best located pool I've experienced! (light salt water too which was lovely) Very helpful and pleasant owners (Francoise & Giacomo) who also left us in private. We were looking for a few tranquil and relaxing days with access to coast/towns and mountains during the day - this surpassed our expectations! very ecological with solar power etc. Tip; take a swim or sit by the pool after dark, the sky at night is breathtaking - highly recommended.

Beautifully presented property in stunning location
The property is a converted barn that has been restored very tastefully and to a very high standard. We were slightly disappointed that the overall 'minimalist' style meant that some of the basics were missing (limited storage space, no full size dinner plates, no kettle, no tin opener) but Francoise and Giacomo immediately accommodated our additional requests. It would also have enhanced our stay if some of the basics for cooking were provided (some other properties that we've stayed in have been well provisioned with basics such as herbs, seasoning and cooking oil, and it's a welcome addition when travelling abroad). But this is just a suggestion of what could be added - lack of salt and pepper certainly didn't detract at all from our stay! The property is in a beautiful location, well-placed for walking and visiting the surrounding area, and the pool was an added luxury to enjoy. We felt slightly overlooked when using the pool, as it beneath the front of the owners' house, but the owners took care to ensure we had the pool to ourselves whenever we wanted to use it. For those wanting somewhere completely private and quiet, you may find the proximity to the owners' house, and the occasional little bit of noise from their two small children distracting, but only something to bear in mind if complete solitude is what you're after; the peaceful rural location and access to private sitting areas in front of the property offer plenty of opportunity for quiet contemplation, and enjoyment of flocks of bee-eaters using the valley below. We took advantage of Francoise's culinary skills on one evening and enjoyed a wonderfully delicious meal, mostly comprising fresh organic produce from their own garden - highly recommended. Overall, it's a very lovely property in a wonderful location, with welcoming owners who are keen to let you experience their organic and eco-friendly lifestyle.

Vacances à Caixas
Un lieu au calme, en plein coeur de la nature ! A moins d'une heure de plages et criques magnifiques (collioure, banyuls sur mer...), et de sites touristiques naturels (visite de chateaux, grottes, lacs...). Le site offre un accès à une piscine magnifique et entretenue. Toutefois le gite est non adapté en période d'extrêmes chaleurs (pas de climatisation).

Dépaysant
L’ancienne forge du Mas de La Fariole se trouve en pleine nature. Entre mer et montagne, villages et oliveraies… une région incroyable. Françoise et Giacomo sont des hôtes adorables qui vous donneront toutes les infos dont vous aurez besoins lors de votre séjour. Nous recommandons !

Un site enchanteur, une très belle expérience
Le logement est très bien et conforme à l’annonce. Le lieu, même si un peu loin et impossible sans voiture, est merveilleux. Une piscine de rêve. Nos hôtes Françoise et Giacomo sont charmants et attentifs. Nous avons passé une très belle semaine et avons été conquis par ce lieu. Calme et beauté du paysage assurés 👍 Pour Françoise : un petit grille pain serait un plus 😉 Nous n’hésiterons pas à revenir

Très joli mais exigu
Sejour tres agreable. La maison et la piscine sont très jolies et loin de tout. A savoir que le terrain autour de la maison est exigu et les déplacements parfois sportifs. Un effort reste à faire sur l'accueil, trop succint.
