Further details
Sorede is an authentic friendly village which has a range of good shops and restaurants including 2 boulangers. They are only a 1 min walk from Gites Sorede. There is a little market twice a week which always brings out the locals. This is a good place to stop for a coffee. There is a post office, cash dispenser and very helpful tourist office. The village also has a swimming pool, tennis, boules piste, playground and 'ministade'.
Sorede with it's warm micro climate is a really good place to be in the Autumn/winter/Spring as it is far more sheltered than the coast. It is also much warmer than inland mountainous areas. Being fully open all year round, is also a big plus. This is partly why we have chosen to live in Sorede ourselves.
