Villa with Pool - non smoking
Suitable For Guests Aged 8 Years And Over
Sleeps 8 (4 Bedrooms)
|
|
Les Coquelicots is a four bedroom property with private pool and all mod cons. The bedrooms are arranged two on each floor; however due the slope of the land, none of the bedrooms are ground level. Located in small hamlet of 16 properties above the old village of Finestret in the foothills of the Pyrenees. The surrounding area is quiet, rural and beautiful with mountain views but not at all isolated. The nearest facilities are at Vinca a 4 minute drive away and therefore a car is essential. Views of Mount Canigou. 15 minutes from Prades.

Owner profile
About the owner
We live in the UK but regularly visit the area to see relatives and to spend time in our villa. The villa is now six and a half years old and is one of 16 newish villas built in a quiet hamlet above the old village of Finistret near Vinca. We have had both holiday guests and two sets of long term guests stay at Les Coquelicots, all who have been very complimentary. Our nearest airports are Perpignan, Beziers and Carcassonne.
Year purchased: 2005
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We bought the plot of land because of the stunning location as well as accessibility to places of interest, proximity of both mountains and coastline as well as family. We designed the house with the builder's assistance. The surrounding areas are beautiful. The area is great for walking and the GR 10 passes through the top of the village about 4 minutes walk from the house. The villa is in a rural, but not isolated setting. The neighbours are all resident full-time and are very friendly.
Unique benefits of the property
Although the house is in the foothills of the Pyrenees, access is good. From Vinca most of the route is on a good width of road with only the last part of the access being a little narrower. Access from the village from the Prades direction is narrow in places and single lane in the centre but perfectly OK.
