This is a perfect place for a family with small children ... it is a gated property w' a playground for the wee ones & plenty of room to run around in ... the garden is landscaped beautifully , including a vegetable garden which our most gracious & lovely hosts , Illona & James , gave me grazing privileges to ... awesome !
It is also a wonderful location for those without children ( as I was ) as it is close to Perpignan center & all the other local attractions but had an " out in the country feel " about it . The swimming pool would be a definite plus for summer visitors but it was a bit too cool , weather wise ( in May) for me to use , though it was pretty to look at & sitting around it in the sunshine was lovely ... I rented the cottage in the back of the property & it was very private , under the trees & away from the main house ... it was quite spacious & well equipped with everything I needed to cook lavish meals for friends & family while there ... a most notable memory of my stay there were the owners themselves ...very friendly & helpful & welcoming ... I would definitely recommend this gite to anyone looking for a relaxed , country setting with a family feel ... parking is onsite ... there is WIFI but I couldn't access it in my cottage ... only in ... or close ( a bench outside the main house will do , I was told , though I couldn't pick it up there either ) to the main house would it be available so if you need to be connected you would have to find a way to do that on your own ... The cottage I stayed in was rustic but had everything I needed to be comfortable , including portable heaters ( which I used a few times very satisfactorily ) ... washing machines are on property too with shared lines for drying ... all in all ... I loved it here & would come again ... lovely spot ... lovely people ... and a perfect location for getting around the area ... close to the sea , the mountains , Spain ... I would suggest having a car , though one can walk to a few close by markets ( a short walk down the road for a local farm market ) & shops ( the " Spar ") , a car would be helpful for further destinations & for those not inclined to hike a few miles to get in & out of the city center ( such as myself ! ) I enjoyed driving into Perpignan @ night for an occassional meal in a restaurant , whereas I never would have walked in @ night ... a bit too far for that ...
