Our sympathetically converted barn is home to this lovely one-bedroom gîte. The original fabric of the building: big beams, old stonework, is very much on show, plus there's so much to see out of the window! You have a balcony view of Mt Canigou, as well as a lovely dining area for relaxed breakfasts and sundowner cocktails. Our little village is quiet and peaceful, yet only 15 minutes from the town of Prades, with its shops and famous market. And all around, we have the incredible Pyrenees We make no secrets that Une Hirondelle is our favourite of the three gîtes. It's a perfect size for a couple, with its old iron bed in a large, airy bedroom, French windows that look onto Canigou in one direction and north facing window that shows the morning sun lighting up the hills opposite. (Please note, there's a wooden spiral staircase, so it's not ideal for those with mobility issues, or large suitcases!) Downstairs, there's a light and airy living room, with comfy sofa and chair, as well as a dining table. The kitchen is well-equipped with a gas hob and microwave, plus all of the utensils and crockery you might need. All sheets and towels are provided. Right outside the sliding doors is your outdoor area, which gets the sun nearly all day. It's ideal for breakfast and coffee right before a big day out in the hills, reading a book under a sun shade, having a snooze, or to toast Mount Canigou as the setting sun lights it up in the evening.
