About this property

Fantastic big house for up to 28 people. Wonderful views, Sahorre, nr Perpignan

La Châtaigneraie offers a spectacular base for a large group or family gathering in the fabulous French Pyrénées - just 40 minutes from both ski resorts and beautiful Mediterranean beaches.

Space to be together…. and, just as importantly, space to be apart! With 2 acres of gardens and superb views in all directions, we offer a unique combination of great facilities for large groups to socialise together whilst also offering individual families privacy to enjoy precious time away from the crowd.

There is a substantial main house plus 2 independent apartments and a 2-person Petit Gite which may be booked for Exclusive Use or as separate units. With heating throughout and two cosy log-burners it is suitable for holidays all year round.

Out of peak season we are happy to offer reduced rates for smaller groups (14 - 18) booking Exclusive Use of the main house only.

The central kitchen is equipped to cater for up to 30 people with 2 ovens, 2 hobs and 2 fridges. The impressive central lounge has leather sofas, log-burner and a cinema-style 5-metre film screen with surround-sound for film evenings. Indoor dining for 28 can be arranged if required.

Outdoors there are plentiful choices of patios and terraces enabling the whole group to BBQ and eat together at one table.

Each gite/apartment is completely independent with its own lounge, TV/DVD and kitchen facilities (including fridge-freezer, microwave and dishwasher) offering great flexibility to suit your catering requirements.

Facilities include free WiFi, swimming pool, gym, library, flood-lit boules court (which doubles-up for badminton and volleyball), mountain bikes and games room with a great selection of board games, library and table-football. Gardens offer plenty of space for team games along with areas of peace and tranquillity.

Our “Chef à Domicle” can offer reasonably priced, restaurant-quality meals. The local boulangerie delivers fresh bread and croissants to your door each morning making breakfast so easy.

It is a 15 minute walk through orchards and alongside the River Rotja to the centre of the village. Sahorre has a bistro/bar which will happily cater for large goups, along with a handful of small shops and farms selling their own produce.

The famous spa town of Vernet les Bains is less than 2 miles away, with a wider selection of shops and restaurants. It has a supermarket, spa, swimming pool, tennis courts, a market 3 mornings a week and even a casino!

The fortified medieval village of Villefranche de Conflent is 5 miles away – the starting point of the famous mountain railway, Le Petit Train Jaune.

There are many miles of beautiful walks directly from our property. If you prefer to simply relax by the pool, the area is renowned as the sunniest in France with a glorious 320 days of sunshine every year.
Beautiful all year round, just 45 minutes from either Mediterranean beaches or ski resorts we really do offer the best of both worlds.

About the host

Hosted by Caroline and Bob Mann

Host profile image
We moved to La Chataigneraie in April 2012 and now live here permanently, so we are always on hand to resolve any problems and help our guests to get the most out of their holiday. Having tired of the "rat-race" we decided to take the plunge and have an adventure in a warmer climate!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with La Chataigneraie from our first visit. There are simply stunning views of the mountains in all directions and it is impossible not to feel relaxed in such a peaceful and tranquil setting. We love living in a rural village, but particularly like the fact that you never feel remote or cut off. We are so close to all local amenties - less than 5 minutes to the nearest supermarket - and there is always something going on in the valley.

What makes this property unique

La Chataigneraie is such a unique property with hi-spec contemporary facilities combined with a beautiful rural setting. We love the village of Sahorre which has been very friendly and welcoming. We feel that this area really offers the best of all worlds. We have no immediate neighbours so have real peace and quiet, yet it is just a short walk or cycle into the village. There is so much to do in this area - it really is possible to ski in the morning and be walking on the beach in the afternoon - all within a reasonable driving distance. It only takes about 45 minutes to get to Perpignan airport and we have an excellent wifi connection so the rest of the world is only a click away!
