Beautiful River-front Apartment with Natural Pool


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.

One of the best places we’ve ever stayed
We absolutely loved our stay with James. The river and pool were just brimming with wildlife and we found the accommodation very comfortable, and well thought through. James was always on hand when we needed him. We will be back.

Delightful valley close to the beaches.
Our hosts were friendly, very helpful and full of enthusiasm for the local area. They were quick to offer help when we had a problem (unrelated to the accommodation) and provided a very restful environment. The stream and rockpool were as lovely as the photos.

Beautiful view of river
Flat which overlooks beautiful river cascading over rocks. Must be fantastic to swim in in the Summer. Situated in a beautiful valley where nature takes prime place. Will gladly return on another occasion. Only minor setback was the fact that the main bedroom is the first room you enter when going inside.

Séjour exceptionnel
Entre le calme, la rivière, la piscine naturelle, la qualité de l'environnement, il y en avait pour tous les goûts. Nous avons passé un très bon moment en famille, à proximité de la plage tout en restant dans un écrain de verdure en dehors de l'agitation.

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.

Entspannter Aufenthalt in naturnaher Umgebung
Wir hatten in James' Haus einen wunderbaren entspannten Urlaub. Die Lage ist ideal, um direkt von dort die Ausflüge in die Berge zu starten, James ist ein guter, sehr netter Gastgeber, die Wohnung, insbesondere die Küche, mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Wir haben nichts vermisst und uns sehr wohl gefühlt

meditativer Urlaub am Bach
Die Unterkunft ist ideal für Familien, die Ruhe suchen. Man ist ein ganzes Stück vom Meer entfernt, hat dafür aber eine tolle private Badestelle. In der Umgebung kann man trotzdem viel unternehmen, muss aber immer das Auto dafür bewegen. Fliegengitter an den Fenstern wären schön gewesen, ansonsten eine top Unterkunft.

Nous avons passé une semaine magique entre mer rivière soleil. Le zen de l'endroit se prête au repos et James est un hôte adorable. La maison aurait peut-être besoin d'un petit coup de peinture mais elle est très bien équipée et la literie parfaite ! Nous reviendrons !

Bien mais location à rénover
Nous avons passé une très bonne semaine de vacances. Nous avons été bien accueillis par James qui s'est montré disponible et à l'écoute. L'endroit est superbe avec un très bel accès à la rivière (la contrepartie est la forte présence de moustiques). La location est très bien placée pour profiter de la montagne et de la mer. La maison est agréable mais nécessiterait d'être rénovée. L'appartement est assez spacieux et correctement équipé. La literie est bonne. En revanche, on entend beaucoup le bruit des locataires du dessus, l'agencement avec l'entrée par la chambre n'est pas des plus pratiques, un nettoyage plus approfondi (portes, toiles d'araignées, recoins) serait bienvenu.

Mittelmäßige Ferienwohnung in wunderschöner Umgebung
Die Lage der Ferienwohnung in einer Schlucht ist sehr schön. .Außerdem ist der Naturpool wunderschön und wirklich besonders. Die Ferienwohnung allerdings ist hinsichtlich der Sauberkeit und dem Zustand der Ausstattung verbesserungswürdig.

EL PARAISO
Nuestra estancia es totalmente recomendable. Hemos encontrado un paraiso dónde hemos pasado unos dias maravillosos en familia. Mis hijos han estado muy muy felices. La única pega que podemos decir es que la mesa de la terraza en vez de ser 2 pequeñas juntas sería mucho más comodo una grande.

Déçus
La propreté de la location intérieure comme extérieure laissait à désirer, il y avait des toiles d'araignées dans la maison, la poussière dans les placards n'était pas faite, une poubelle non vidée des anciens locataires, beaucoup d'insectes aussi à l'intérieur, la maison mal isolée, le linge ne pouvait pas sécher dedans. Il n'y avait pas de chaises longues ni la table avec les bancs sur la terrasse naturelle le long de l'eau comme montrée sur les photos. De plus, je demande une facture acquittée depuis plusieurs mois aux propriétaires sans avoir de réponse de leur part et en n'ayant toujours rien reçu. Je suis déçue par mon séjour.
