Guest comments
"We have enjoyed our stay as "Les Jets", particularly the experience of living in a French Catalonian Village, the traditional Catalan dance music in the church square was great" August 2009.
"We very much enjoyed our stay at your property which was well-equipped and made an excellent base for visiting many local attractions." August 2010.
"We really enjoyed our stay in Molitg. We particularly enjoyed the walks in the little €2 brochure purchased at the tourist office, and the honey bought up the road! The house is very comfortable and we would recommend it to others" August 2010.
"We very much enjoyed our time in Les Jets. The house was the perfect set up for us and we really enjoyed spending time in the garden....lounging, reading, grilling and eating all of our meals there. The patio and covered eating area were lovely and offered just the right amount of protection from the sun and wind. The renter's manual was very useful, thanks for putting that together." July 2010.

About the owner
Our family has had connections with the French Pyrenees since the 1970s when my grandfather bought a plot of land near Ceret in the hope of building a holiday home there. This did not work out but since then we have grown to love this corner of France very much and are happy to share the knowledge and experience we have to make your holiday in our house as enjoyable as possible. We are all based on the south coast of the UK and regularly go over to France to enjoy the sunshine and amazing scenery. With children ranging in age from 3-12 we have tested out the suitability of the region for families and can happily report that there is enough to keep them happy from old castles to explore to charming beaches to relax on. Combined with great food and wine there is lots for us adults too!
Year purchased: 2003
Why the owner chose a home in this location
This house was in a very sad state when we bought it and it took us a few years to get the various permissions required to transform it into the comfortable holiday home it is today. We have tried to retain as much of the original character of the house as possible with lots of old stonework and beams to be seen. We bought it because of its lovely location and obvious potential to become a spacious and charming holiday home.
Unique benefits of the property
Set as it is next to the church in Molitg it is a very peaceful and tranquil place to have as a base for your holiday in the French Pyreness. We have found the village to be very friendly and can recommend the local bar and restaurant where there are regular festivities and live music to enjoy. There are some lovely walks in the area to enjoy and a small guide of these is available from the local tourist information office.
