Villa du Parc, a manor built in the 1930s, now offers a charming selection of self-catered holiday apartments and two bed and breakfast options. With its magnificent view, the property is conveniently located near the center of Prades, nestled between the Mediterranean Sea and the ski slopes of the Pyrenees.The manor features a cozy chimney lounge with comfortable seating, a fireplace, and a free internet connection. Guests can enjoy various entertainment options such as games, books, magazines, and a video projector. Additionally, there is a dining room and a terrace for relaxation. For those with outdoor equipment, a spacious underground garage is available to store and work on (motor)bikes, skis, and more.
Surrounding the manor is an expansive 8000 square meter (over three acres) property adorned with century-old trees and offering breathtaking views of the Pyrenees. Guests can take advantage of the swimming pool, sauna, and jacuzzi. There are plenty of seating options, including deck chairs, a barbecue area, and a playground for children. The property's location on the outskirts of Prades allows guests to reach the town center in just ten minutes, where they can explore restaurants, cinemas, concerts, shops, and the weekly market.
Thanks to Prades' unique location, guests can indulge in their favorite holiday activities. Within a forty-five minute drive, they can either relax on the sunny beaches or engage in hiking and skiing at altitudes over two thousand meters (about seven thousand feet). The region also offers opportunities for rock climbing, spelunking, canyoning, white-water kayaking, and paragliding, with many activities available year-round due to the Mediterranean climate. Another popular option is to take a ride on the "yellow train," a narrow-gauge railway that winds through a scenic valley and ascends to the high plateau of the nearby mountains.
For those interested in local culture, there are various attractions to explore, including fortresses designed by Vauban, Cathar castles, the Dali museum or house, the Casals festival, and numerous beautiful abbeys.
The diversity of the region ensures an unforgettable vacation experience at Villa du Parc.
