About this house rental
Set in the peaceful village of Finestret, overlooking the village church and the Pyrenean foothills beyond, 9 Carrer Del Graons makes a lovely base for exploring the Languedoc Rousillon region.
The house is arranged over three floors: a bedroom, shower room and large cellar on the ground floor; living room and spacious kitchen dining room on the second floor; and the top floor has the master bedroom and bathroom.
The South West facing roof terrace, reached from the lounge or through patio doors from the master bedroom, is ideal for BBQ or just relaxing enjoying the views and the sun.
Finestret has a population of about 150, mainly resident but with a few holiday homes and village gites. Village life centres around the church and the salon de fetes with many, all welcome, village events over the year. The village is surrounded by peach and cherry groves, great scenery for a bicycle ride or a short walk, several longer walks start from the village and for the more adventurous Mount Canigou beckons.
The river Lentilla runs through the village and provides natural pools for swimming and several companies base canyoning trips from the village.
Although Finestret has no shops (but a daily bread van passes through the village) Vinca is only 4km away with post office, bank, several restaurants, many bakeries and a swimming lake.
From here you can also catch the Petit Train Jaune up the mountain to the ski resorts of Font Romeau. By car it is 45mins to the closest slopes and Andorra is two hours away.
A little further afield......but only 8km from the village, is Prades, home of the renowned Pablo Casals music festival, larger supermarkets, more restaurants and a lovely weekly market.
The Mediterranean and the Cote Vermeille towns and beaches, such as historic Collioure (45minutes) and the Costa Brava (1 hour), all make great day trips, as do visits to some of the many vineyards of the Languedoc Rousillon, the largest wine producing region of France.

This is the second time that we have been to stay in this house in Finestret and once again it was perfect for us. The house is ideal - located right in the centre of the village. The bedrooms are comfortable, the house is very very well equipped with plenty of space for a family of 4, and the sun terrace is an oasis of calm - we spent a lot of time out there! April is a great time to visit the area (although, having been at pretty much every time of year, most of the year is a great time to visit!). We went skiing on Easter Sunday, which was the last day of the season, but there was just about enough snow to ski and the weather was fantastic! The nearest ski resort is probably about an hour's drive up the mountains. We also had a couple of days at the beach - 1 day at Collioure which is just beautiful, and one at Argeles plage which is a lovely big, clean sandy beach - perfect for the kids. There's masses to do in the area - lots of lovely walks, lots of cold water swimming if that appeals, markets and we went to the thermal baths at St Thomas les Bains as well. I thoroughly recommend staying here - Tim is a great host, really efficient, providing very comprehensive info on the house and the area.

House with character in a small village. Everything was good, only: the stairs without railing is difficult, with luggage and with food and drinks for the terrace. Wifi worked after sending a mail to the owner. Suddenly it worked, but a small reply should be more friendly!

Well appointed house in the centre of a beautiful village next to the church, close to the river and with views of the mountains
This is a good location for access to mountain sports and, in the other direction, the mediterranean beaches
The house is comfortable and well furnished
