About the host

Hosted by Christopher Bratherton

Hi! We are Chris and Vicky, a British couple living in the South of France with our two kids and Vicky's mum. Our home is your home for your vacation and we will be on site (in a different building) during your stay to help ensure every element is perfect. From discreetly maintaining the pool and garden to firing up the hot tub ready for you to relax after a day of exploring, we are happy to be as hands-on, or hands-off, as you wish. We have lived here since 2018 but have known the area for much longer, so feel free to ask us for recommendations for places to go during you stay.
We are keen cyclists and also run a cycling holiday business from Mas Clot d'en Guardia (Pyrenees.cc), so ask us for bike hire options and cycling routes!

Why they chose this property

We have been coming to the Vallespir for holidays since the early 2000s and took a chance to buy a property here while our eldest was a baby. The peace and tranquility, being close to nature, breathing fresh air and drinking mountain spring water are the small pleasures we enjoy, but also being locate between the Mediterranean sea, the mountains and the Spanish border allows us to have the best of many worlds! Not to mention the 300 days of sunshine a year...

What makes this property unique

We are located 2km up a dirt track, quite literally 'off the beaten track', yet only 10-15 minutes drive from the nearest town. Our 15th century farmhouse is a truly unique space, with wooden beams and stone walls, but with all the modern comforts you expect, such as fast Wi-Fi, smart TV and the all-important espresso machine. The property is split into two parts: the main farmhouse with three bedrooms, a fully fitted kitchen and spacious living and dining room; and the poolside studio apartment with bedroom, kitchenette, private bathroom and patio. Ideal for two families, groups of friends or three generations to share.

The garden is a haven for flora and fauna with an abundance of fruit trees, Mediterranean herbs and enormous aloe vera. The infinity pool boasts views across the valley while the hot tub provides a perfect place to watch the sunset and the stars come out. There's even a children's playground with swings, slide and trampoline.
