About this property

Mas with converted cottage, unique pool, paradise found!

Set in just under an acre, Mas Mimosa with 2 separate gites, benefits from being in the rural outskirts of Perpignan but only a 20 min walk through the pretty park to the beautiful & historic city, with all its delightful bars and restaurants to sample. Just a 10 minute drive are the glorious sandy beaches by the safe non-tidal Mediterranean sea.
The Old Barn and Le Cerisier are gites attached to our 150 year old Catalan Mas. They are stone built and have exposed beams & rafters. Open plan lounge/dining room areas with fireplaces, comfy sofas, TV, DVD stereo/cd player. Fully equipped kitchens to cater for your every need.
Why not rent both and bring extended families, total capacity would be 10 plus a baby.
Outside there is private terrace space for each, with hand built traditional Catalan BBQ, table,chairs and parasol.. Beautiful mature gardens with swings/slide/seesaw, & a giant Jenga, safe & secluded from the road. Tables & chairs are provided here & there amid the trees for you to chill out. The terraces and gardens are lit up at night for al fresco dining in the warm evenings.
Shady peaceful summer kitchen with lockable double french doors opening to poolside, with BBQ, fridge, & utility room with sink, shower, toilet & washing machine for use of all guests.
The stunning secluded 13.5m x 6m pool, private for occupants of both gites, is family orientated, with perimeter overflow & roman steps. The segregated toddler pool is only 40cm deep and enables little ones to get in & out on their own, encouraging confidence in the water. Huge relaxing decking area with sunbeds, parasols, tables & chairs , security gate & fence. We use a salt disinfection system, kind to skin and eyes, no chlorine smell or taste. Red squirrels & birds come & drink from the pool. The peaceful secluded gardens are a haven to many species of birds, including exotic Hoopoes from Africa.
We provide toys for the children in the summer kitchen area , and pool toys for the little ones

Paradise in Perpignan

We had a great stay. Very centrally located in the region with easy access to the beaches and mountains and at close (cycling) distance to Perpignan centre. A clean house, a supurb BBQ place and an extraordinary pool. And last, but definitely not least, the great and friendly hosts Sue and Steve. Would love to come back some day.

Wonderful Hospitality

We loved staying at Mas Cerise. The property was lovely and Sue and Steve were wonderful hosts. The care and love they put into their property is evident. We ate at their favorite restaurant in town which was only about 12 minutes away by car. While the pool was a tad too cool for a lengthy swim, the setting was beautiful. We felt fortunate to find this gem ~ far enough from town to be peaceful and quiet and close enough to get to easily get to town or the beautiful beach.

Absolutely marvelous - & the pool is exceptional (10 stars!)

The place is situated about 20 min walk (5 min drive) from the city center of Perpignan. The gite is well equipped and clean, and the shared pool (only with one other gite) is exceptional - it is big, lightly salted, the temperature is nice, and there is plenty of space around it and sufficient places to sit or lie in the shade beside it. The car can be parked within the compound which is locked - and feels very safe and not locked in. And the owners who live on site - Sue and Steve - are absolutely lovely people who are very helpful and welcoming. We'd love to come back!!!

Had a fantastic stay at the Stables, the courtyard with our own outside cooking area was great snd beautifully cared for by Steve and Sue (hosts). Without a doubt though the crowning glory is the pool, it truly was the cleanest, loviest pool we’ve ever used. Steve and Sue we’re available if needed for advice about anything but also very discreet and allowed privacy. We had a lovely holiday and feel like we made good friends with Sue and Steve. Will definitely stay there again if in that area and would recommend to anyone- you will not be disappointed.

Perfect Family Getaway Near Perpignan

We had a fantastic family holiday at a lovely gite just outside Perpignan. Traveling with our 9-year-old and 10-month-old baby, we were warmly welcomed by the owners, Sue and Steve. From the moment we arrived, their hospitality made us feel right at home. The property itself exceeded our expectations. Our private apartment was clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated, showing great attention to detail. The outdoor saltwater pool was a highlight, offering a perfect place to relax and enjoy the sunshine. Sue and Steve were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. They were always available for a chat or to offer advice on local attractions and activities. Their genuine warmth and daily interactions made our stay even more enjoyable. We highly recommend this gite for a peaceful and delightful stay near Perpignan.

Exactly as it was described in the blurb

Sue and Steve were very welcoming and friendly hosts, who respected our privacy too. The accommodation was extremely comfortable. We stayed in Le Cerisier and it was perfect for the two of us. Sue and Steve have considered everything that is required for a comfortable holiday experience. We wanted a relaxing holiday doing very little and that's what we achieved. We were car free, so walked in and out of Perpignan when we could tear ourselves away from the sun loungers. It's an easy walk. We used public transport and explored both coast and mountains - all very accessible, convenient and inexpensive. We were very spoiled as we were the only people staying at the Mas at the time, so had the pool area all to ourselves. However, there is plenty of space for all if there are people staying in the other accommodation. We had a peak into The Barn, which is beautifully presented. If we can gather the family together in one place, then we would consider booking the two cottages.

A lovely getaway for our family - loved it!

Le Cerisier was lovely, clean, homely and all that we had hoped for with our children (7yrs and 22months). We had chosen it for its character feel, pool and garden area and outside dining spaces which made life easy and relaxing for the short stay (5days). We also liked its proximity to the beach and other attractions and had we been staying for longer we would have explored a lot more but we did manage to find lovely beaches nearby, went on runs around the country lanes outside the accommodation, played in the nearby park with our children and had a day trip to Collioure which was only 30mins by car and an absolutely beautiful place. Sue and Steve were really welcoming and always at hand if we needed anything. The pool area was hotel standard and yet set within this lovely homely accommodation. The garden furniture, loungers and decking and were lovely and made you feel like you were in a hotel and yet just a stones throw from poolside you had the ease of your own self catering accommodation to go back to for lunch etc. literally our baby monitors worked poolside whilst our youngest daughter had her afternoon sleep so we really could relax. The accommodation itself was well presented and all very new and fresh. The bathroom had a lovely large shower area and although it is only a small building it was plenty for us to relax in. The only small thing that we would have appreciated were things like teabags, dishcloths, bin bags, washing up liquid and toilet rolls to be provided. With a young family and for the price we wouldn't have expected to purchase these things as inevitably when you're only staying for 5 days you have to buy these things in bulk when we only needed a very small amount. It just meant we didn't have everything to hand when we first arrived and needed to find a supermarket the next morning and I guess it's just nice to have the little things there for you on a holiday - a break from the day to day chores of home. Saying that we had every utensil and modcon we needed in the kitchen including children's kitchenware which was much appreciated. It reallly was lovely and I had been nervous as we had first wanted to book the barn but it was already booked so opted for Le Cerisier instead and I'm absolutely glad we did - perfect for our needs. I would definitely like to return and maybe take friends or family and have the barn as well as that would be lovely and a great atmosphere. The outdoor spaces gave you privacy to dine.

Fabulous relaxing short break in Perpignan.

This was our first visit to Perpignan, and we were looking for somewhere to relax, unwind and de-stress. From the first contact Sue & Steve were amazing and helpful in planning our stay. The property is close enough to local shops, and a pleasant walk into Perpignan itself, although we only went once, as the property itself was so incredible. We were welcomed personally by Sue & Steve, who showed us around and we were instantly impressed. The property was impeccably clean and tidy, the garden with it's Lemon, Orange and other trees well kept, and the large pool was a great way to cool down from the warmth of the sun. All in all the stay was perfect for what we were looking for. We had a fabulous week and would love to return. Highly recommended!

Charming property in an idyllic setting. The grounds and pool are lovely. We were happy to chill by the pool and BBQ in the evenings. On other days we went to the beautiful beaches or into the Pyrenees to find cooler lakes. You need a car for the beach. Perpignan is a great place to explore too as is the region. Steve and Sue are amazing hosts - we took on board all of their sightseeing tips and had some wonderful days. We’ll be going back for more.

Superbe gîte à Perpignan

Le gîte est très agréable notamment la partie extérieure avec une superbe piscine et une très belle cour intérieure parfaitement entretenue. Nous avons loué la petite maison située au fond de la cour, très propre, joliment décoré et bien équipé. Idéal pour une famille de 4 (attention à l'escalier en colimaçon assez raide pour de très jeunes enfants). La route est assez proche et s'entend un peu la nuit avec les fenêtres ouvertes. Le gîte est bien situé à 15 min des premières plages, 30 min de Collioure et des villages des Pyrénées situées dans les terres. Nous recommandons sans hésitation.

A perfect stay

We stayed at Le Cerisier for two weeks, which is perfect for a family of four. The apartment is well equipped, the area with garden and pool wonderful. Mas Mimosa is situated in the rural outskirts of Perpignan which makes it a brilliant starting point for days at the beach, in the city or in the mountains. What Mas Mimosa makes unique are the owners: Sue and Steve are kind, open minded, young at heart and supportive in all areas: fulfilling extra wishes, sharing tomatoes from their garden, keeping the kids entertained and providing tipps for great holidays.
