Property Details of Languedoc Cottage

At the top of picturesque Canaveilles, this typical village house has retained its rustic charm, being built of mountain stone, with exposed beams inside, and a traditional fireplace.
It has been modernised with taste and has all modern comforts.
The house is an ideal place for relaxation, and an excellent base for walking and for car journeys, both of which offer easy access to cultural sites, Romanesque chapels, stones engraved with early writing, beautiful and ancient church interiors with wooden artefacts going back to the 12th century.
Those who prefer more sporting activities in the unspoilt and rich environment of this area, with its many natural hot springs, waterfalls, lakes and natures reserves will find a complete and restorative change, far from normal busy everyday life.
It is also a good starting place for excursions to Spain, the Mediterranean cost and Andorra.
Canaveilles is at an altitude of 975 m in the Pyrenées-Orientales. The road from the National Road 116 is 3 km in distance, single track, with passing places.
The house is built on the mountainside, and there are two entrances one at the front on the ground floor and the other at the back on the top floor.
The village streets are narrow and steep, so cars have to be left in the parking (a distance of about 200-m).
The main living space, on the top (second) floor has fully-fitted kitchen, a living room with a fireplace, a toilet, and a mezzanine with a 120 cm wide bed. This living-room open on to a balcony with a magnificent view over the Canigou, sacred mountain of the Catalans, and many high surrounding mountains.
The first floor has two bedrooms, one with a double bed of 140 cm and the other with two single beds of 90 cm. There is a shower room with a washbasin and a toilet.
On the ground floor, there is a washing machine, clotheslines and an ironing table.
The owner is living near by and speaks French and English
