One I'd recommend for groups. We came as 3 families, 12 adults altogether,aged from 20 to 60. Great house for mass sleeping, dinning, and relaxing. It was hot at night without aircon but 2023 temperatures were better than elsewhere. We came because we shared a family home years ago nearby so know the region and its a good location for the area if you have a car. We liked the look and atmosphere of the Bar/Restaurant at the adventure centre over the road, "Le Caillou", but the food was disappointing for the price. The Pizzas from the village takeaway were great, but we mostly dined at the house as Marquixanes only has a roadside shop that is a cafe and bread depot just round the corner. If you can plan and prepare meals you'll have a good stay.

We had a fabulous time in this holiday property this summer. There were 20 of us in total - a mixed group of kids and adults and there was plenty of space for everyone. The house is in a village a few km from Prades, but it's really easy to get to lots of different places from here. We'd spent a few days trekking in the mountains (Tour du Peric) and it was nice to chill out by the lovely big pool in the warmer valley temperatures . The house was filled with unique pieces of artwork (red crocodile much admired by the kids) and was very comfortable. Lots of space for us all to eat together, sit on sun-loungers or just escape to the cinema room. Table football and poolside cocktail bar were both well used. We slightly missed an extra bathroom on the first floor - but all was clean and the kids loved the big space on the top floor. In the village there is a fab outdoor activity company - we took part in canyoning and tubing with excellent instruction. Everywhere we went we were greeted by extremely friendly French people and the owners father who lives next door gave us the impression the house was there to be enjoyed! Cute local fortified villages, Le Petit Train Jaune, Villefranche's ramparts and caves and Mount Canigou were all sampled. We cooked in most nights - supermarket close by. No noise outside after 10pm suited us fine, but might be worth knowing - also the pool has an alarm so good if you have young kids. Thoroughly recommend!!!!
