About this property

3 star 2 bed apartment, natural pool in stunning riverside location near the sea


OUTSIDE
2 bedroom apartment in a stunning location with views overlooking a stream, waterfall and natural swimming pool.
The garden has attractive terraces surrounded by mature Mediterranean plants. The apartment is approached via the right gate of the property via some steps. Outside facilities include BBQ, table tennis, wooden table and chair. Steps, taking you down to the gardens & stream. There is a constant & super relaxing sound of the waterfall. The stream runs year-round and is fed by a spring in the nearby Alberes mountains which are a fantastic area for hiking, cycling and exploring. Just outside the gate are further terraces and rock pools, formed by the burbling stream. It’s a wonderful area to relax and unwind with a book and a glass of wine. Children spend hours fishing, swimming and playing in the stream. The edge of the pool shelves gently so it is a good place for children to practice swimming under supervision. The waterfall cascading into the pool is a constant pleasure to watch and ensures the water stays clean. Older children and adults love to jump in from the rocks above.

This is a wonderful place in summer to escape the crowds & is a welcome few degrees cooler with good air. In spring & autumn everything is green & flowering so it is also a wonderful time to come.

INSIDE:
The entrance to the apartment leads strait into the double bedroom with comfortable pull down bed, sofa & wardrobe. Floor to ceiling windows overlook the stream & gardens. The bedroom leads into built in kitchen, sitting room/ dining room. Provided are table & chairs for 4 people & comfortable sofa. Floor to ceiling windows allow for a fantastic view over stream & gardens while you dine. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you may need to cook your meals.
At the far end of the apartment is a door leading to bathroom with walk in shower, bath, sink & WC all beautifully tiled. Opposite this & the 2nd bedroom with 2 single beds & wardrobe.

LOCAL AREA:

The property is situated in a quiet valley just a few minutes by car from the authentic village square of Sorede with its restaurants, shops, cafés, and live entertainment in the summer. Local facilities are open year-round including two traditional French bakeries, tennis courts and public boules piste. Sorede has a twice-weekly market with stalls offering local cheese, fruit and vegetables, wine, salami, olives and many other items. There is a small, friendly wine cellar open in the mornings which sells wine produced in Sorede and nearby villages. You can take in your own bottle and have it filled with red or rose directly from the cask. We offer inexpensive bike hire of both manual and electric bikes as this is an excellent way to explore the many local sites. Please refer to the location section for more details on the numerous attractions available in the area.

Little paradise for your holidays
We spent an exceptionally good time in James‘ flat which gives you the impression to be in perfect harmony with nature. Small waterfalls, a natural pond for swimming, birds all around the house, loriots wake you up in the morning and frogs bring you to bed in the evening. Ideal place to explore mountain nature, small villages and the phantastic marine environment in the vicinity, particularly the sea around Port Vendres. Highly recommended to those who enjoy the calm side of life.

Tolle Wohnung mit wunderschönem Garten
Die Wohnung liegt etwas außerhalb von Soréde. Die Zufahrtsstraßen zum Ort sind arg in Mitleidenschaft gezogen. Wir genossen unseren Aufenthalt und diese himmlische Ruhe sehr. Die Wohnung ist angenehm groß, mit sehr viel Geschmack eingerichtet und verfügte zu meiner großen Freude über scharfe Messer. Morgens vom Gesang eines Pirols geweckt zu werden war schon sehr besonders. James ist ein sehr aufmerksamer und freundlicher Vermieter. Wir empfehlen diese Ferienwohnung sehr.

About the host

Hosted by James & Caroline Postlethwaite

Host profile image
I am English but have lived in France for many years. I previously worked as a medical herbalist, yoga teacher and writer. I'm a bit 'organic' so I am gradually turning the property into an eco-house. My passions in life are sailing and dancing.

Why they chose this property

I am in awe of the situation here & the power & beauty of the river & wildlife. It's so healing & reinvigorating. I'm very happy to be able to share this with you. It's a real joy to see our visitors unwind & relax on holiday here.

What makes this property unique

The views & situation are so unique. To have a natural pool to swim in right outside the property is just amazing. I love to swim in nature myself & feel so happy to give you this opportunity also. Children love it, as do adults, so it's really win win.

Being close to many other pretty villages sea & shops is also a bonus. It is though, useful to have a car as Sorede is about 40 mins walk & uphill on the way back.It is a beautiful walk much of it possible along the river. Also a great spot for keen cyclists or bird watching.
