Air Conditioned Villa with Pool near Sea

This comfortable luxury villa, situated between the Mediterranean sea and the mountains, has an inviting private pool and delightful views.

This distinctly Mediterranean area, where France meets Spain, has a wealth of diverse natural beauty and a rich gastronomic tradition. The majestic Pyrenees provide a backdrop to the entire area, whilst the plain of Roussillon stretches from mountains to sea where some of the longest and best sandy beaches in France can be found. In contrast, pretty coastal villages sit along the Cote Vermeille including Collioure and Port Vendres.

The wonderful climate provides over 300 days of sunshine a year with hot summers and mild winters yet the plain remains lush and produces the regions plentiful wines and wonderful fruits. A great climate, rich history and excellent access to the Mediterranean and the mountains make this a wonderful location for a holiday at any time of the year.

Nestled between the Pyrenees and the Plain of Rousillion are lovely villages and quiet hamlets enjoying the scenery and cool breezes their locations afford.

Just below the elevated ancient village of Camelas and only 5 minutes from the 'chic' historical town of Thuir, lie the hamlet of Politg and this lovely family villa. From here you can explore all the region has to offer from the very best beaches to ski resorts, or just relax in the private pool and enjoy the view.

About Camelas in Pyrénées-Orientales, Languedoc Roussillon

This location provides a wide choice of activities being 30 minutes from the very best beaches on the coast, the beautiful port of Collioure and a similar distance from Mount Canigou (alt 2,800m) as well as the fascinating mountain towns, villages and ski resorts of the Tet valley.

The nearby town of Thuir is a great place to start the search for your favourite wine of the region. Thuir is the home of the largest oak wine cask in the world (Byrrh) holding over a million litres, and there is a market in the old town every Saturday morning. Thuir also has a wide range of places to eat and drink from pavement cafes and bars to pizzeria and more traditional restaurants. It also boasts boulangeries, charcuterie and supermarkets.

Perpignan, the cosmopolitan capital of Catalonia, with its mix of modern bustling city and charming old town and markets, is only 20 minutes away together with its historical Palace of the Kings of Mallorca. From Perpignan station (the centre of the universe) the train to Barcelona takes 2-3 hours - when the new TGV route is finished, this will reduce to around an hour.

The coast from Perpignan southwards, hosts the popular resorts of Canet, St Cyprien and Argeles with their wide sandy beaches, nightlife, bars and restaurants. Where the sandy beaches sweep down to meet the rocky coves of the Vermillion Coast you will find the beautiful fishing village of Collioure, set beneath a Templar castle that is said to have inspired Fauvism. A few minutes more around the coast and the working port of Port Vendres has a wonderful Saturday market and the opportunity to buy fish and seafood direct from the quayside trawlers.

The fascinating Cathar castles of Puilarens, Peryrepertuse and Querbus and fortified towns and villages, provide interesting places to visit and the Pyrenees can be explored from the famous Little Yellow Train, which runs from the beautiful fortified village of Villefranch de Confluent (officially one of the most beautiful villages in France and 20 min) to Latourde Carol. Visit the ski resorts at Font Romeu or Mont-Louis, winter or summer (1-1½ hours) and pass the Catalan landmark Mt. Canigou on the way.
