Hidden mountain gem
We had the most perfect stay in a lovely location. Superbly equipped house and additional annex. Lovely pool. Amazing views and local amenities in striking distance; a couple of us even walked up Pic du Canigou. But top prize goes to hosts Chris and Vicky (and their sons). Attentive to just the right degree. Made sure we had all we needed for a five star stay. They could not be more helpful and generous, and went out of their way to make us feel at home. Even supplied emergency wine and bread on one occasion! Both are very knowledgeable about the area and keen to advise. Highly recommend this as a destination!

A gem in the foothills of the Pyrenees
We had an amazing time in this beautiful house with our family. It was far more than we expected, and attention to detail was incredible. The boys had a wonderful time in and out of the pool where they spent most of their time when we weren't going out. We, as grandparents, loved the poolside apartment which was so comfortable and private. We had the best night's sleep there as it was so peaceful. Thank you Chris and Vicky for not only making us so welcome, but also for giving us so much help and information about places to visit and eat, many of which we took advantage of. Thank you for a brilliant holiday. Robin, Sue, Nat, Vini, Rudi, Flynn and Arlo xx

Magnificent Mas in Vallespir
Perched on top of a hill in Vallespir you will find Mas Clos d’en Guardia, where you will receive a warm welcome from Vicky and Chris, the proud owners of this house whose origins go back to the 15th century. You will find a place to relax and enjoy the beautiful garden, the swimming pool on a hot day or a dinner outside on the terrace with stunning views. We will come back some time soon!

Merveilleux endroit niché dans la nature
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans la superbe maison de Vicky et Chris. Nous étions 8 adultes et nous étions très bien installés, répartis dans le studio près de la piscine, le Mas principal et le deuxième gîte. La propriété est superbe, avec une très belle vue sur les montagnes, un grand jardin et une très belle piscine à débordement. Il y a aussi un ruisseau et une cascade très rafraichissante au fond du jardin. La maison est très au calme car isolée sur le flanc de la montagne à environ 10min d'Arles sur Tech. Aucun soucis pour faire les courses régulièrement et pour partir en excursion. Superbe ciel étoilé pour les fans du ciel nocturne et les chasseurs d'étoiles filantes :-) La région est magique pour les fans de randonnées, on peut en faire certaines directement au départ de la maison. Enfin, nous avons beaucoup apprécié la disponibilité et la gentillesse de Chris et Vicky qui font vraiment tout pour rendre leurs clients satisfaits ! Bravo !

Excellente location
Nous avons séjourné chez Vicky et Chris, qui nous ont chaleureusement accueillis dans un agréable mas,confortable et bien équipé. Les différentes terrasses permettent de varier les plaisirs, la piscine à débordement offre une vue sur la vallée. Nos hôtes se sont montrés très attentionnés sans pour autant être envahissants. L'environnement boisé et la rivière en contrebas offrent un beau terrain de jeu aux enfants et randonneurs. Merci pour cette formidable semaine, nous reviendrons sûrement !
