Can Poujol, enjoying the sun with friends and family in a peaceful setting

Close to ecotours, birdwatching, and more, this smoke-free vacation home brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 15-minute drive to Office de Tourisme d'Amelie-les-Bains or the 22-minute drive to Ceret Museum of Modern Art (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return to this 1475-sq-ft vacation home, you can unwind by the communal pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the deck or patio and outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at table tennis, or enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

As you settle into this 6-bedroom, 3-bathroom rental, you'll find a living room, a dining area, and a BBQ grill. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer and a bidet. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And you can even travel light because you'll have access to laundry facilities.
