This is a spacious, luxury apartment with its own balcony, sun terrace and private heated indoor pool. Having two large double bedrooms and two bathrooms, the accommodation would comfortably house four people. There is also a single bed and travel cot available which could be provided upon request.
Situated on the ground floor of a large villa, the apartment has been thoughtfully designed so that guests have their own parking space and separate entrance door with complete privacy from the rest of the house and exclusive use of the pool room and sun terrace. The large kitchen is very well equipped and includes a Smeg range cooker, large American style fridge/freezer, coffee machine, microwave, washing machine and dish washer. The lounge is equipped with surround sound TV, DVD player and cosy seating around a beautiful wood burner. For those hot summer days, the apartment is also equipped with air-conditioning.
The pool benefits from ceiling to floor sliding glass windows allowing the outside in and is heated all year round to an average water temperature of 27 degrees.
The villa is in an elevated position, overlooking the hamlet of Ginoles les Bains. There are amazing views of the mountains which surround the hamlet. It is a nature lover's paradise and one can regularly see eagles and vultures rising on the thermal drafts from the land below. The night sky above the house is spectacular. You can sit and watch the Milky Way glide across the sky!
The town of Quillan is a 15 minute stroll from the house. It has many fine hotels, bars and restaurants and a local market twice a week. There are a number of individual shops in town and a large well-stocked supermarket on the outskirts. The town has a busy events calendar throughout the year, with outdoor concerts, exhibitions, cycle races and even motor races.
There is a bus and a train station, and the town is well-connected to historic Carcassonne to the North and the Mediterranean resorts to the South East.
The city of Perpignan is 75 minutes away and the picturesque seaside town of Collioure is only 90 minutes from the house.
Limoux, home of "Blanquette de Limoux", the sparkling wine invented by monks and the original "champagne", is only 29 km away.
Quillan is situated in the heart of Cathar country and is within easy driving distance of many Cathar castles. For followers of the Da Vinci code, Rennes-le-Château, where Bérenger Saunière allegedly discovered treasure, is very close at hand.
For those of an active persuasion, there are kayaking, canoeing and white water rafting activities close by, and in Winter the nearest ski resort is only 35 km away.
Close by is a swimming lake which has a lovely beach around it on which you can sunbathe or enjoy water sports.
