A Hiker's Paradise -- Comfortable, Modern Mountain Villa With Private Pool

Villa Mimosa is a modern house with 2000m2 of land situated in the beautiful Rotja Valley in the peaceful mountain town of Fuilla in the French Pyrenees. With stunning views of Mount Canigou, it is a fantastic location at any time of year in one of the sunniest regions of France. Guests can enjoy a wide variety of outdoor pursuits, such as mountain biking, rafting, canyoning, caving, skiing and hiking/walking. With over 50+ different walks/hikes of varying length and difficulty within easy driving distance, Villa Mimosa is a superb choice for people looking to explore the amazing countryside that abounds in this wonderful area.

The UNESCO World Heritage walled town of Villefranche-de-Conflent is only a 5-minute drive away and the market town of Prades and spa town of Vernet les Bains only 10 minutes away. It is 50 minutes drive from both the sandy beaches of the Western Mediterranean coast and the ski resorts of Font Romeu, Pyrenees 2000 and Les Angles. Spain or Andorra can easily be reached as a day trip.

Positiv Überrascht
waren wir vom idyllischem Örtchen und dem zuerst schlicht anmutendem Haus, von innen jedoch sehr gemütlich eingerichtet und es fehlt wirklich an nichts. die Räume sind groß und man kann in der Küche sehr gut selbst kochen. Der Anblick von der Veranda oder aus dem Pool auf die Hügel und Berge ist wunderschön und sehr entspannend und für Menschen die Ruhe suchen, genau das Richtige. Ein identisches Haus ist zwar direkt nebenan, doch war es zum Glück nicht vermietet, sodass wir wirklich für uns waren. Schlafzimmer und Bäder sind zweckmäßig eingerichtet und der Blick aus dem großen Balkon ist morgens besonders schön. John als Vermieter ist sehr freundlich und die Kommunikation auf englisch war auch einwandfrei - auf Wünsche wurde stets positiv reagiert. Man ist in den Bergen und dennoch in knapp einer Stunde am Meer, einfach herrlich. Wir sind sehr froh, dass wir uns spontan für diese Unterkunft entschieden haben. Der Aufenthalt hat ganz ehrlich unsere Erwartungen übertroffen.
