Owner profile
About the owner
Howard and Elizabeth live in eastern France near the Swiss border. Howard is a retired airline pilot and Elizabeth still has to work for her living teaching cookery in a secondary school.
Year purchased: 1992
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
We bought the house in the Albères hills because it gave us easy access to the beaches, fishing villages and seaside resorts of Roussillon's beautiful and diverse coastline. At the time our children were little and we spent some very happy holidays playing on the beaches and exploring everything that the Pyrénées Orientales have to offer. At the same time Montesquieu's hilltop location ensured us peace and tranquility even during the summer months.
Unique benefits of the property
The 13-metre-long pool can accommodate even a houseful of guests comfortably. The wonderful panoramic views from the terraces and verandas around the house are very special.
