Mount Canigou, snow capped for half the year guards this beautiful part of Roussillon is an inspirational sight from the villa garden. The immediate vicinity has the attraction of un-spoilt villages whose living is made from wine making, Cherries, Apricots and Peaches. The Spanish border is never far away and this adds great diversity to a holiday in this sun-drenched corner of Roussillon. The attractive and world famous towns of Ceret and Collioure with their artistic heritage and the colourful, bustling city of Perpignan are all local to the villa as are long stretches of sandy beaches.

Llauro is a pretty Pyrenees hillside village 26 kms south of Perpignan, just over 20 kms from the beautiful Cote Vermeille on the Roussillon coast and only 10 kms from the Spanish border.

although the setting of the villa provides commanding views and the villa appears to be in wonderful peaceful isolation, it is in fact only a few hundred yards away down a quiet lane to the centre of the village of llauro with its local bar, little grocer shop and post office. the little villages around are only a short drive away and all have traditional bakers and butchers. The towns of Ceret and le boulou both about 20 mins drive through beautiful scenery provide all you would need by way of local markets and large supermarkets.

Local Area Details

Convenient peace With natural views on all four sides and not overlooked, this villa provides the perfect peaceful setting. Yet the little village of Llauro sits just beneath the villa and houses a small grocery store, a bar/grill and a post office. Just five minutes in the car brings you to the larger village of Fourques with a good butcher and baker. Just over 10minutes by car brings you to the famous town of Ceret with bank and superb food market. Just outside Ceret is a large supermarket and two more at the nearby town of le Boulou. The countryside around Llauro is laced with small villages, all with their own colour and quiet shady spots from which to watch the world go by.

The Pyrenees, The Med and Spain From Ceret you choose whether to head East for the coast at Argeles and Collioure or whether to head West to the famous water spar town of Amelie-les-bains and further out to the Frontier with Spain over the Pyrenees with breathtaking views at Mollo. Spain can also be reached over the Pyrenees at Coustouges, Perthus and via the spectacular coastal road into the CostaBrava. Just over a ridge of the Pyrenean foothills overlooking Llauro can be seen the peak of the magnificent Mount Canigou. For many centuries this was regarded as the highest peak in the Pyrenees and was thought by ancient Catalan people to have magical powers. The sight of Canigou is certainly impressive and there are many guided walks and tours to enjoy Canigou and the surrounding Pyrenean foothills.

In amongst the vineyards Llauro is nestled among many vineyards, some with appellation status and some offering very reasonably priced wine from their collective/co-operative. You are able to taste the wines at many caves and direct with the vineyards. There are also some lovely restaurants tucked away in the villages around Llauro where there is no nicer place to sample the local wines accompanied by a wholesome lunch or dinner.
