Property Description

Villa de la Fontaine translated "the house by the fountain" is a beautiful modern villa in a truly stunning location just above the picturesque historic protected medieval village of Camelas.

This totally private property enjoys an elevated unique position providing it with one of the most breathtaking panoramic views in the whole of the region.

From the Cathar castles of Queribus and Peyrepertuse across the plains to the Pyrenees Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea, it really is quite special.

The villa is open year round and offers a haven for lovers of peace and quiet with its secluded and tranquil location, and yet it is just a 8 minute drive to the 'chic' market town of Thuir. The sun kissed Mediterranean beaches, cosmopolitan Perpignan, Spain and the Pyrenees Mountains area all within a 30 minute drive. The winter ski resorts are just one hour away. 

NOTE: We are pleased to advise you that pets are allowed by arrangement. Smoking is permitted inside the villa.

TESTIMONIALS

JUNE 2009 Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed our stay at Villa de la Fontaine and will certainly be visiting the area again. The villa was lovely and suited our needs perfectly, shame the pool wasn't a bit warmer but I suppose it was still early in the year and it didn't stop our enjoyment. The surrounding area was lovely and the views were magnificent, it was an ideal base for touring and exploring all of the Languedoc Roussillon region. Mike and family
