The Gites

We are situated in the town of Prades, a five minute stroll from the town square where restaurants, bars and in the summer, much musical entertainment can be found. At the back of Villa Lafabrègue, and adjoining the Clinique St Michel, we have the old servants quarters. We have converted these quarters into two apartments in 2005. Both have electric ovens, gas hobs, dishwashers, tv's and music. There is shared access to a washing machine and a freezer. There are picnic bags and freezer packs available to borrow. There is a BBQ for each gite and we provide charcoal, foil, firelighters etc. Both gites have use of the enclosed swimming pool along with its acre of grounds. You are welcome to borrow maps and information from the main house for your days activities, and we will help you as much as possible in regards to walking, sightseeing and relaxing. Similarly you are welcome into the main house to use the free internet, or hook into the free WiFi network.

If you are looking at a winter break then you'll be pleased to know that both gites have central heating and wood burners. We are under an hours drive from Font Romeu and Les Angles ski resorts, so if you are looking for a few days skiing over the weekend or midweek, or a mix of skiing and walking, then we are an ideal base. During the winter period we are more flexible on changeover days and indeed length of stay. Please let us know your requirements and we will see what we can do.

Unfortunately we are not accepting children under 10 during July and August. At othertimes we accept 5 years plus, but the gites are not suitable for the under 5's.

Availability

For the two weeks from 31st July to 14 th August we are hosting the musicians of the Casals Chamber Music Festival in the house. At this time, to try and keep things relatively peaceful, we are unfortunately not accepting children under 10 in the gites during July and August. We even have a 4 metre diameter trampoline for them to bounce on. For yourselves, if booking for these two weeks, please be aware that violins and cellos will be practiced, hopefully only adding to the enjoyment of your stay.

After September should you wish a short break, a long weekend, or be looking for an even longer let then please contact us.
