About this property

French Pyrenees / Mediterranean Village Cottage

This fully renovated apartment occupies the ground floor of a traditional stone cottage in the medieval village of Eus – with the prestigious ‘plus beau ville de France’ status and claiming to be the sunniest village in France! Ideal for a couple or small family, the accommodation includes a queen-sized double room and a den off of the courtyard with day bed (opens as a single or double bed). The bathroom is a good size and has a plumbed in washing machine. A spacious, well equipped kitchen adjoins a small dining area which leads into a comfortable living room with large window looking onto the famous Canigou Mountain directly across the valley. A terraced balcony at the front and a private, shaded courtyard in the rear allow outdoor seating / bbqs, and on-street parking in front of the house is a real convenience in the steep village where most properties require an uphill walk to reach them. This is a quiet and private apartment from which to access mountain sports and recreation, historical tours, sunny beaches or just plain relaxing with a glass of the local wine and a gorgeous view!

Decouverte du Conflent et de la Catalogne Nord
Nous avons passé un tres bon séjour à Eus dans un appartement très bien agencé, très calme avec une vue magnifique sur le Canigó. C'est un bon point de départ pour découvrir la Catalogne Nord et particulièrement le Conflent : Prades, Villefranche de Conflent et le Fort Liberia , les abbayes Sant Miquel de Cuixà et Sant Marti del Canigó, le villages d'Evol . . .

Magnifique
Couple âgé (75-80ans) très bel appartement, propre bien rénové, tout fonctionne et est bien pensé, même 2 oreillers par personne. Vue splendide sur le Canigou, magnifique village. Avons eu la chance d'avoir une place devant la maison pour décharger et charger la voiture. Merci pour le bon vin de cadeau de bienvenue.Le prix de la location était en livres, ce que je n'avais pas vu. Donc un peu plus cher que prévu, d'autant plus que la banque a compté des frais pour convertir les livres en €. N'avons malheureusement pas pu profiter de la terrasse, table très sale et abîmée. Descriptif d'arrivée très clair, avons trouvé rapidement, même sans personne pour nous accueillir.

About the host

Hosted by Stewart Monteith

Host profile image
The owners are Stacy and Stewart Monteith. We are probably best described as an 'international' couple, Stacy is from the States and Stewart is from the UK. We met and married in Kuwait where, among other far-flung places, we have been teachers in international schools.
We now live in Florida, again teaching for a living but now more 'grounded' and here to stay (probably!).

Why they chose this property

Our Eus(ful) house was bought in 2005 to provide a 'home for the summer' when on school holidays and as a possible retirement home. Originally, it was one house that was converted into two flats by previous owners. We have kept it that way, but have completely redesigned and remodeled the interior and added windows, put on a new roof and new floors and floor beams in both apartments and had a complete rewire and new plumbing. The outside areas and the 'cave' have also been given a complete overhaul, away from the rather 'utilitarian' condition they were found in. The renovation took over 3 years but we have ended up with a property that has all the convenience and practicality of a modern home, but blends perfectly with the charming, old stone buildings of the village. We take great pride in our 'new' house and hope our guests will enjoy it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

Eus is possibly the most picturesque village in the conflent valley and irresistibly draws the eye as one drives along the road into the Pyrenees. When we were seeking a property to use a s a holiday / retirement home in the area, we never thought it would be possible to find an available home for sale. We consider ourselves extremely fortunate that something did become available and what's more, a house which we fell in love with at first sight. We are now very happy that we can share the good fortune to be able to holiday in such extraordinarily beautiful surroundings, with our guests who have always expressed a similar appreciation for their stay in our 'home from home' in Eus.
