About this property

Cottage Apartment In The Heart Of The Beautiful Village Of Eus

We offer a comfortable, well appointed, 'traditional' but modernly furnished accommodation in the gorgeous countryside of this region.
The apartment has a queen double bedroom off of the living / dining / kitchen area. A bathroom with a larger, glass-walled shower makes the third room. There is a good size private terrace / garden to the rear, with lots of space to relax, with a garden table and chairs to take the indoors out.
In the lounge there is a large TV with DVD player and a small DVD library. A wireless internet connection is available to keep your digital devices connected.
Quite the rarity, yet sometimes a necessity here in Eus, touted "the sunniest village in France", there is full air conditioning in the living room and bedroom. You will appreciate it on the hottest days in July and August! Ceiling fans are also installed to keep you refreshed.
A fully equipped kitchen with cooker, stove top and microwave will allow you to indulge a little 'French cuisine' if the mood should take.
The small village of Eus is designated a 'plus beau ville de France' on account of it's stunning location and well kept 'old world' quaintness. The narrow alleyways are fringed with exotic plants and flowers and you can see that the locals take a great deal of pride in their lovely village. There are a number of artists and crafts people who live and work in Eus, and their products are available right from their workshops and galleries or in the craft-shop in the village square. If your appetite for local crafts is not satisfied here, there is a larger selection in the nearby, fortified village of Villefranche de Conflent.
Eus is a popular destination in summer and is served by a busy bar in the square and a tapas bar/restaurant popular with the locals, with commanding sunset views at the top of the village.
Dining experiences in Rousillon-Conflent are as varied as the countryside and its people and you will discover why the region is famed for it’s fusion of Catalan / French / Mediterranean cuisine.
Close by is the market town of Prades, where supermarkets and other essential services are to be found and which hosts the annual Pablo Casals music festival in July/August. Market day on Tuesday and a local farmers market hosted in the town square on Saturday are must-do’s.
There is lots for the visitor to enjoy in Eus and the surrounding area. For those on a cultural visit, there is history to be told in every village of the Conflent and beyond. The region is an important wine producer and if this interests you, there are several vineyards, which offer tours and tasting. Mountain sports from walking the hills and valleys to rafting and gorging the many rivers and tributaries are all on offer here in the foothills of the Pyrenees. The major ski resorts of Font-Romeu and Les Angles are less than an hour away by car or bus. Or take a scenic train ride to the mountains on the famous 'little yellow train' and then go for crepes in one of the many bars and restaurants of the fortress town of Mont-Louis.
There is simply too much to do and to see in this stunningly beautiful and unspoiled area to give it justice here, better to go explore for yourself and you will see why the few who have discovered this tiny corner of France, always vow to return!

Perfect Pyrennean Hideaway
This is a wonderful place to stay. The property itself is very well equipped and has everything you need. But it's the view it gives you of the nearby mountains and the village of Eus itself that are so special and which make this somewhere I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a holiday in the French Pyrenees.

Bonne prestation, très bien meublé, il ne manque rien, sauf des chaises longues dehors. Après une bonne rando, cela aurait été sympa.

About the host

Hosted by Stewart Monteith

Host profile image
The owners are Stacy and Stewart Monteith. We are probably best described as an 'international' couple, Stacy is from the U.S. and Stewart is from the UK. We met and married in Kuwait where, amongst other far-flung places we have been teaching in schools for most of our careers.
We now live in Florida, again teaching for a living but now more 'grounded' and intentionally, here to stay.

Why they chose this property

Our Eus(ful) house was bought in 2005 to provide a 'home for the summer' when on school holidays and as a possible retirement home. Originally, it was one house that was converted into two flats by previous owners. We have kept it that way, but have completely redesigned and remodeled the interior and added windows, put on a new roof and new floors and floor beams in both apartments and of course had a complete rewire and new plumbing. The outside areas and the 'cave' have also been given a complete overhaul from the rather 'utilitarian' condition they were found in. The renovation took 3 years but we have ended up with a property that has all the convenience and practicality of a modern home, but blends perfectly with the charming, old stone buildings of the village. We take great pride in our 'new, old' house and hope our guests will enjoy it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

Eus is possibly the most picturesque village in the conflent valley and almost irresistibly draws the eye as one drives along the road into the Pyrenees. When we were seeking a property to use a s a holiday/retirement home in the area, we never thought it would be possible to find an available home for sale. We consider ourselves extremely fortunate that there was indeed something up for sale and what's more, a house which we fell in love with at first sight. We are very happy to share that good fortune with our guests, who have always expressed a similar appreciation for the time they have spent in this magical location, in our home from home in Eus.
