About this property
Cosy studio nestled in the forest with wood-fired hot tub
Escape to this beautiful poolside studio nestled in the chestnut and oak forest of the Haut Vallespir, only 5km from the picturesque village of Arles-sur-Tech. This comfortable space features a king size bed which can be converted to two single beds as required, with an additional sofa bed, ideal for couples or young families. The kitchenette has a kettle, toaster, microwave oven and induction hob to allow you to cook your own meals, plus all the crockery and cooking utensils you need. The living space includes a dining table for two, with additional dining space outside on the terrace with a view of the pool and garden. With high speed Wi-Fi, access to a wood-fired hot tub, infinity swimming pool (open May-Sept) and communal laundry facilities, guests have everything they need to enjoy the natural surroundings with modern comforts.
A Breakfast basket with freshly baked pastries, baguette, coffee, orange juice and fresh eggs from our chickens can be ordered on site for an additional fee.
The garden is extensive, including a BBQ, children's playground and plenty of places to sit and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the countryside.
The apartment is located on the ground floor of an old farmhouse. Guests have their own private access and the inside space is completely private, but the external spaces and laundry facilities are shared with the host family. We can be as hands on, or hands off as you please. We are happy to socialise and tell you all our favourite local attractions on request, otherwise we will be utterly discrete and respect your privacy.
Access the property is via 2km of dirt track. You do not need a 4x4 to drive it but slow speed and care is advised. Detailed instructions will be sent in advance of your arrival.

About the host
Your host

Hi! We are Chris and Vicky, a British couple living in the South of France with our two kids and Vicky's mum. Our home is your home for your vacation and we will be on site (in a different building) during your stay to help ensure every element is perfect. From discreetly maintaining the pool and garden to firing up the hot tub ready for you to relax after a day of exploring, we are happy to be as hands-on, or hands-off, as you wish. We have lived here since 2018 but have known the area for much longer, so feel free to ask us for recommendations for places to go during you stay.
We are keen cyclists and also run a cycling holiday business from Mas Clot d'en Guardia, so ask us for bike hire options and cycling routes!

Why they chose this property
We have been coming to the Vallespir for holidays since the early 2000s and took a chance to buy a property here while our eldest was a baby. The peace and tranquility, being close to nature, breathing fresh air and drinking mountain spring water are the small pleasures we enjoy, but also being locate between the Mediterranean sea, the mountains and the Spanish border allows us to have the best of many worlds! Not to mention the 300 days of sunshine a year...
What makes this property unique
We are located 2km up a dirt track, quite literally 'off the beaten track', yet only 10-15 minutes drive from the nearest town. You can easily get back to nature and disconnect from urban life, but still have access to fast Wi-Fi if you need it.
The garden is a haven for flora and fauna with an abundance of fruit trees, Mediterranean herbs and enormous aloe vera. The infinity pool boasts views across the valley while the hot tub provides a perfect place to watch the sunset and the stars come out. There's even a children's playground with swings, slide and trampoline.
