Luxury villa with spectacular mountain views and facing the relaxing Rio

Near Argeles, La Vallée Heureuse Sorede Home and Garden closed / terrace, near the beach (25min) and in front of the river.

This Villa is very comfortable, it is a historic mansion that has been updated with pleasure.
Capacity for 8 maximum 10 people. At the entrance of the property, there is a patio with garden and private and secure terraces with the south-facing pool with tables, chairs and sun loungers to relax. There is a southeast facing terrace behind the house, which has the great advantage of receiving the morning sun every day and is an ideal area for breakfast. We have covered outdoor terraces with a table 10 seat, a barbecue and several seating areas around an impressive 10-meter pool.
There are 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (one with a bathtub), a toilet on floor 0 and one on at least -1 and a washing machine. We have a large garage and a large parking lot for 4 or 5 cars.
Upon entering the house, on floor 0 you have a beautiful living room with a traditional fireplace, with television (with satellite from 300 international channels) and a sofa bed. There is also a veranda area Lounge dining room and open and nice kitchen.
Here is also the master bedroom with double bed and fitted wardrobes and overlooking the pool. The bathroom with shower, bathtub and separate toilet.
On the other side of the living room we have access to bedroom 2. Ideal for children
We also have a crib, a playground and a high chair.
On the -1 floor there are 2 bedrooms each with a window and door - direct access to the garden and view of the river / mountain. The 2 with double bed. There is also a full bathroom with shower cubicle and separate toilet.
On the first floor (access from outside with stairs) we find the tower where there is a bedroom with double bed and balcony (very romantic)

It is a mini paradise.
The river passes through the property of the house, it is UNIQUE. A large pool with wooden bar and huge sunny terraces, very quiet and relaxing area.
The house is equipped with a Finnish Sauna, a Lounge, has wifi, satellite TV, air conditioning and a large closed parking with automatic gate
A couple of bicycles are as long as you have access to some fabulous rides right at the door - this part of France is fantastic for cycling and for the true enthusiast we can recommend some difficult, surprising routes and if necessary!

Located in La Vallée Heureuse, Sorede, it is 10min from the pharmacy, shops, good restaurants, cafes, bakery, bars, the weekly farmers market and festivals throughout the year.

And only 15 minutes drive from Argeles-sur-Mer, Saint-Cyprien or Collioure beaches.

What's more, you can enjoy a walk / hike on the river and natural pools of "Vallée Heureuse" or "Happy Valley" on our skirts for a refreshing escape. And a unique "Vallee des Tortues" Turtle Sanctuary and play park is only 5 minutes away too.

Your holiday home is only 15 to 20 minutes from the Spanish border or 2 hours to Barcelona.

It is minutes away from famous art and rich history of charming villages that dot the Vermillion coast the 'Côte Vermeille' of the Mediterranean. Day trips are easy to ski Pyrenees Mountain, river enjoyment, aquaitic sports, UNESCO heritage Carcassonne, and other famous local sites.

Buses anywhere in the county cost only 1 euro, even up to the mountain! If you want to go to the beach you can also drive and rent bicycles, once there as it is a beautiful promenade.

For flights, rental is closer to Perpignan, Girona Spain, Carcassonne and Beziers airports (in that order). Then from Barcelona only 2 hours away.

Beautiful, peaceful property
First of all the property is beautiful and tranquil, one could just sit outside and be at peace all day. The pool is wonderful and the house is filled with comfort and character. Most importantly, Steve, his family and his neighbors are amazing. They are so kind and willing to help at any given moment. They let us know places we should go and places we should eat and not one place let us down. They really treated us like family and made our vacation so memorable. I would highly recommend staying here. We look forward to returning.

Great stay
We had a great time in the villa. Steve is the very best and treated us with the greatest of respect and kindness. Our holiday had been interrupted with a vehicle breakdown and Steve made up for us and our six kids to get our holiday back on track. The villa is in a great location for everything.

Lovely family home with fabulous pool
This is a delightful family home nestled in the foothills of the Vallee de Heureuse some 4.5 km south of Sorede in a small, quiet but well established residential community. The house is large, on several levels and can easily accommodate x8 people (though we were only x2). The kitchen is well appointed and there is a large covered terraced area for eating and getting out of the sun! There is also satellite TV and wifi. The pool area is fantastic and is beautifully maintained with plenty of expensive sunbeds and umbrellas. Sorede is blessed with two very good restaurants - reviewed separately on Trip Advisor- and is useful for basic food stuffs. There are two very good supermarche's within 20 mins drive and the vast beaches of Argeles sur Mer are about 30 mins away. The owner - Steve and his family - could not have been more inviting or accommodating and were very helpful in making our stay so enjoyable. The road from Sorede to the property, though tarmacked, has seen better days!

maison charmante et bien équipée
Maison bien équipée - lieu de rêve pour ceux qui aiment le contact avec la nature - la petite rivière en contrebas de la maison accentue le charme de l'endroit. Calme - paisible - le bar à la piscine est le petit plus pour des petits apéros bien sympathiques ... Proche de collioure - Sentiers de randos au départ de la maison... Très belle endroit pour passer un séjour de détente. Steve, le propriètaire, est de plus une personne très agréable ..Bref : EXCELLENT

Belle propriété spacieuse avec piscine malheureusement sans sécurité. Télévision sans chaines Françaises. Route d'accès en très mauvais état. Le reste est parfait !

Magnifique séjour ur
Une maison familiale dont les extérieurs vous charmeront par leur beauté et le calme apaisant qui y règne. La maison est bien équipée et la douche extérieure vous laissera un souvenir éblouissant. Steve est un hôte charmant et attentionné. Comme souvent dans ses propriétés la literie mériterait un petit rafraîchissement mais cela reste tout à fait acceptable. Par contre la chambre dans la tour est très chaude en été, un petit bloc climatisation serait judicieux. Ce ne sont que quelques petits bémols, nous avons passé des vacances formidables.
