This beautiful Mas, in the hills just outside Perpignan, was once featured Alastair Sawday's 'Special Places to Stay in France’. The property no longer operates as a gite but the house itself and the surrounding countryside is just as special. There are 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and a large upstairs living room with views over out to Mont Helene. Most of the rooms have far reaching views and are bright and open. There’s also a small 1-bedroom guest cottage as well as a large pool. Spain is 40mins in the car and Perpignan is half an hour away.
