'The Bakery' – the house was a bakery in the 19th century – which has been converted into a large room with four-poster double bed and ensuite bathroom with shower, basin and loo. A fine old Victorian dresser, bread oven and dough-kneading annex are still in place. Outside there is a large private tiled terrace with grape vines, leading to another hidden terrace where the washing is hung out! The study and kids’ room are opposite. A passage hung with lots of large original artwork leads to the east wing via large landing with an attic above. The east wing: The 'Family' room leads off the landing, as does a bedroom with two single beds, with swing doors leading into another large double bedroom, with double bed. This has an ensuite bathroom with bath, basin and loo. Demi lune tables , fine antique dressing table. Also leading off the landing is the 'Green Room' – a large room with double bed (French-style teak), and an antique oak dressing table and wardrobe. It has a large bathroom en suite with shower, toilet and basin.

Going downstairs from the east wing is the Monks' Annex, a delightful little area containing an old monk’s bench and small library, which leads on to a large double bedroom and bathroom approx 32m square and elegantly furnished with en suite bathroom containing a Villeroy and Bosch bath, loo, basin and fittings.
The east wing's basement is home to the laundry, with two washing machines and a deep freeze. The west wing: Stairs from middle floor lead up to the kitchen, a large area equipped with two fridges, oven, stove, dishwasher and all crockery and cutlery you will need. Living room – Off the kitchen on the top floor. 60m square room with a vast old Catalan fireplace, piano, fine French furniture, an extensive library, a massive Spanish dining table with turned oak legs to seat 14, with teak dining room chairs. The floor is old oak (Most of the other floors in the house are in chestnut or tiled).

Outside – The kitchen leads on to a small terrace, [ideal for a barbecue] which leads onto another terrace, with tiles, lawn, roses, flower beds and pot plants. Here there are 5 tiled tables with 18 wrought iron chairs which can be configured any way you like. You will probably eat most meals out here. There is a fine view over the village and the Tech and Cumelade rivers, which are immediately below.

The top terrace – Catalan stone steps lead up to the swimming pool terrace, which has lawns, tiles, pool loungers, shady and sunny areas, and a kidney-shaped swimming pool measuring 5 x 9 metres. I won’t say any more than this, save that the house has exceeded the expectations of all who have stayed in it so I am confident you will not be disappointed. If you have any questions, contact us . The village is tiny but there is a grocery shop and cafe bar. Linen and towels are provided. The house is cleaned professionally before you arrive and after you leave, and fresh linen is provided after the first week. There is lots for kids to do, swimming pool, darts, badminton, various games in the house, [the house itself is a labyrinth and rather fun for hide and seek] tennis court, playground, table tennis, tennis court and river in the village itself. With the gate locked, the pool is not accessible to non-swimming small children.
