A crag-facing double room on the top floor of our characterful house, just outside the walls of the Medieval village of Villefranche de Conflent, with its fine collection of bars, restaurants, craft shops and signposted walks. We are an hour's drive from the ski resorts, in one direction and the seaside in the other. The railway station is 15 minutes walk and has a mainline to Perpignan as well as the wonderful narrow-gauge Train Jaune, to the ski resorts and beyond. The views from your windows are pretty dramatic, but there are original wooden shutters, to keep things cool, dark and quiet, when you want to. Your bedroom is furnished with retro 60s French furniture, plus a modern, ensuite walk-in shower, basin and toilet. The bedding is cotton and there are plenty of feather and fiber-fill pillows. With the environment in mind, all rooms have reverse air conditioning/heating and the hot water comes via an air source heat pump. Breakfast is plentiful, with lots of fresh fruit, bread, pastries and homemade jams and yoghurt. There is a coffee machine on the shared landing, where you collect your breakfast, but you also have tea and coffee-making facilities in your room.
