Colourful Townhouse in Mountain Village Square

😊: We spent a lovely week at this delightful terrace house. Plenty of room inside, and it had all the kitchen equipment, bedding and so on that we needed. Alex was a very welcoming host and very easy to deal with. She gave us a great introduction to the area and to the transport options. She also has a friendly concierge in the village who handed over the keys. Bikes were welcome too — we brought our own and used them to explore the many quiet, mountain roads/gravel tracks. There seem to be good bike hire options nearby for anyone who'd rather not bring theirs. The hiking is excellent as well! We took the €1(!) bus up the valley to the final stop and hiked all the way back down on a very long day out. The bus is also handy for trips to Amelie, Céret and Perpignan. Lots of lovely, off-the-beaten-track trails and paths. We did some superb mountain walks starting from the old iron mine station at Batere. Arles-sur-Tech is small, but has some interesting historical sites. The local Spar was useful for food, though there are bigger shops further down the valley.. 😢: No car parking at the property - nearest is a couple of minutes walk away but you sometimes have to go a bit further..
