About this property

Luxury cottage in the heart of a preserved site

Old forge from the eighteenth century renovated and converted into a beautiful loft style cottage. A queen size bed and two single size beds are available for a couple of adults and two children / teenagers. A baby bed can also be added, if needed. A modern kitchen with oven, gas cooker and fridge is available.

The private infinity pool offers panoramic views of the surrounding nature. Deckchairs and parasol on the wood terrace provide all the comfort to enjoy this peaceful corner of paradise. The area is south oriented and protected from the wind.

A private stone terrace is also reserved to our customers. It is surrounded by flowers and trees and has table and chairs to eat outside.

The serenity of a haven preserved in the bush with all modern amenities and an organic and gourmet catering service based on products from the garden. The country estate of fifteen hectares offers treks through the forest of cork oaks and along the Saint Amans river as well as panoramic views of the peak of Canigou and coastline.

We live in the main farmhouse a few steps from the cottage and we will be happy to facilitate the stay of our guests: laundry service on demand, exotic or Mediterranean food made from organic produce from our garden (we can easily suit particular applications: vegan, gluten free meal ...).

Vacances à Caixas
Un lieu au calme, en plein coeur de la nature ! A moins d'une heure de plages et criques magnifiques (collioure, banyuls sur mer...), et de sites touristiques naturels (visite de chateaux, grottes, lacs...). Le site offre un accès à une piscine magnifique et entretenue. Toutefois le gite est non adapté en période d'extrêmes chaleurs (pas de climatisation).

Dépaysant
L’ancienne forge du Mas de La Fariole se trouve en pleine nature. Entre mer et montagne, villages et oliveraies… une région incroyable. Françoise et Giacomo sont des hôtes adorables qui vous donneront toutes les infos dont vous aurez besoins lors de votre séjour. Nous recommandons !

Un site enchanteur, une très belle expérience
Le logement est très bien et conforme à l’annonce. Le lieu, même si un peu loin et impossible sans voiture, est merveilleux. Une piscine de rêve. Nos hôtes Françoise et Giacomo sont charmants et attentifs. Nous avons passé une très belle semaine et avons été conquis par ce lieu. Calme et beauté du paysage assurés 👍 Pour Françoise : un petit grille pain serait un plus 😉 Nous n’hésiterons pas à revenir

About the host

Hosted by Giacomo Scotto

Host profile image
Francoise is an anthropologist specialized in the Himalayan region and me, Giacomo (an Italian!) I am an energy engineer concerned by ecology. When our second child was born we decided to escape Paris in order to settle in the midst of nature between sea and mountains. We have literally fallen in love with our property and it is a great pleasure to embellish it and grow fruits and vegetables for our travelers.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is situated at only half an hour from the sea and at less than 20 km from Canigou's mountain top. Our oak forest offers beautiful walks and the Saint Amans rivers flows nearby. It is an ideal place to relax while enjoying birds concerts and to discover wild life while residing in a very comfortable place. Out travelers really appreciate the amazing infinity pool and the organic food we serve from the produce of our garden.
