The Masdecatalpa is a romantic farmhouse for up to three families of all ages - A wonderful place for children, for hide and seek, with a large games room. A range of trees and shrubs have transformed the surroundings into a park. From the dining table on the East terrace you walk straight into the air conditioned kitchen. A dream for cooking enthusiasts! The modern kitchen (the old stables) with minstrels gallery is fully equipped with state of the art appliances and a rotisserie set up in front of an open fire. You move inside to another world...stone floors, ceilings of old wooden beams, antique furniture, contemporary prints...hares, partridge and small deer appear in the grounds at any time even outside the French windows in early evening as they survey their domain.

The fields around can be scattered with poppies or covered in sunflowers. The great charm of the Masdecatalpa lies in its atmosphere.
