Comfortable Holiday Home for Couples with Private Garden and Pool

Situated in the small village of Fosse which is in the foothills of the Pyrénées but only 40 miles west of  Perpignan " The Orchard Studio" is a comfortable and well equipped holiday home for couples who wish to escape. It has a large private garden with covered terrace and small private pool, barbecue, garden furniture including sun loungers. It is only a minute or so walk from the village pool ( open july and Aug. 6 afternoons per week) and tennis court. Guests have exclusive use of the private garden and pool (3.76mts dia x 1.10mtr deep) May - Sept.

Fosse is in the heart of the stunning Fenouilledes region, a major wine producing area, where wine "caves" are always open and willing for you to sample their vast selections of wines before you make a purchase. 

The  stunning Cathar Castles of Queribus, Peyrepertuse and Puilaurens, are a short drive away, and are always worth a visit . Here you will see the well preserved remains and learn of their turbulent  history. The Gorge de Galamus and the amazing Roman aqueduct at Ansignan which is still in full working condition and used for irrigation purposes are also within easy reach.

It is a truly wonderful location with stunning scenery and is ideal for couples who wish to escape to tranquil surrounds and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Relaxing in the garden, walking along one of the many tracks feeling intoxicated by the smell of  wild herbs or bird watching is often the order of the day. Those who crave more in the way of activities have a good choice of things to do in Caudies, Saint Paul or Axat. What ever type of holiday you desire, be it lazy days in the sun, by the pool, climbing the peaks, tasting local wines or driving around in wonderful scenery. The Orchard Studio is well placed for your holiday needs.

Guest Reviews Of The Orchard Studio

5/20/11

We really had a great time here. This place has everything that we like - Great nature, nice people, good wine and food and a very interesting history. We visited some castles, made some great walking trips and a spectacular rafting tour. It was our honeymoon and we really enjoyed the privacy of The Orchard Studio, the lovely pool, the bbq and the perfect weather. There is so much to explore we have to come back.
