Beautiful Village, Beautiful Home.
Maryvonne and Franco have a charming, village house in the historic and beautiful village of Castelnou.
The house is simply but tastefully decorated and equipped with all you need for an enyoyable holiday.
We made the most of the terrace and the wonderful views, for our breakfast and evening "sundowner".
Woody, our Border terrier, loved sitting at the open floor to ceiling height doors, of the main bedroom, taking the breeze and looking for roaming goats in the surrounding hills.
Castelnou has some great restaurants and bars serving exceptional local food. It is well placed for visits to Perpignan, Ceret and Coullioure. We did not visit Spain but had a lovely costal wallk at Cap Bear, a beautiful area of cliffs and coves near the Spanish boarder.
We took Woody for walks into the hills of the Prynees . The mountain areas and villages are beautiful.
We visited Perpignan on a couple of evenings. It was vibrant, with locals and visitors, enjoing the miriad Tapas restaurants and bars. Coullioure was a stunning town and is well worth a visit. A great night out. Touristy but this to be expected for such a beautiful costal town. We loved Ceret and the smaller surrounding mountain villages which were pecaful and beautiful.
Maryvonne and Franco were great hosts. Franco made us feel welcome and booked us into a local restaurant, on our first night. Maryvonne booked us a local vet to sort out treatment for Woody and paperwork for our return to the UK. Lovely People.
