2 Bedroom House in Montferrer

L'Atelier at Can Llouquette is a recently renovated holiday apartment, ideally suited for up to four people, though one additional child can also be accommodated. It is private, has it’s own entrance, a well-equipped kitchen, living room, double bedroom with ensuite, double bedroom with an extra single bed and ensuite. It is a separate building and has it’s own entrance as well as a terrace with BBQ and garden furniture.
Can Llouquette itself is an old apple farmstead with several buildings set in 20 acres. It has a large child-friendly pool set in a mature garden with lawn surrounded by forest and hills. We have a vegetable garden, meadows and about 1km of stream which has a plunge pool, picnic tables, BBQ, swings (and in high summer hammocks).
What makes Can Llouquette extra special is that it is set in its very own little valley. It is extremely private with no neighbours. We are surrounded by nature and there is no light pollution so the night sky is a delight. At night all you are likely to hear is the stream, the fountain, owls, boar and the occasional bark of roe deer. We have our own animals including chickens. Gorgeous mountain walks are possible from the house and within a short driving distance.
This is real unadulterated nature. It is stunningly beautiful and peaceful and at times capricious and unpredictable it is nature as few city people encounter in modern life. For us it is intoxicating. We have had to learn to become totally self-reliant. If you are the kind of person that thrives on busy towns and constant connectivity it is most likely not for you: we have no TVs, mobile reception is poor in the mountains, we do have Wifi (but we cannot always guarantee that because of storms). But instead of this you get the sound of the river, glorious sunshine, occasional wild summer storms, balmy evenings and lots and lots of peace.
It is this that makes it the perfect peaceful rural location to escape modern life, because you are truly enveloped in nature. The perfect place to detox and completely disengage from the pressures of the daily grind.
And yet, amidst all of this peace, our small village with bakery, cafe and restaurant is only 5 minutes away. And the sleepy medieval villages and market towns of Serralongue, Prats-de-Mollo and Amélie-les-Bains as well as Céret (and Camprodon in Spain) are all within easy driving distance. Wonderful seaside towns like Collioure on the Mediterranean and the beaches and bays of the Côte Vermeille are only an hour away.
This is the Eastern Pyrenees, the most southerly valley in France. It is an area of outstanding natural beauty only thirty miles from the Mediterranean at the start of the Pyrenean mountain range. We are only 25 minutes from Spain and can be reached from Girona or Barcelona, as well as Perpignan airports. In fact there are six airports that service this area. We are happy to give advice on travel.
We have four restored private and secluded holiday cottages for rental:
- L'Atelier (for four to six people)
- Le Pommier (for two people)
- La Bergerie (for four people) and
- El Casot (for two people)
Each accommodation is secluded and private so you can choose how much or how little you wish to interact with ourselves and the other guests.
We have restored the property and land over the 15 years we have lived here. We love all the area has to offer and can give plenty of advice to help you get the best out of your holiday: be that markets, things to do with children, walks, the best restaurants etc.
We speak English, French, German and Spanish and are happy to help in anyway we can.

Summary: We had a wonderful week here in the Atelier. It's a magnificent spot to escape the craziness of the world. The roads up to the property are stunning, views of forest clad mountains remind you of something out of Lord of the Rings. The gite itself is great, spacious, bright and airy, and the gardens and pool flanked by the mountain forest are just breathtaking. The kids loved the river too, and spent hours messing around with nets. We felt very safe here away from the unfolding crisis of COVID. There are no neighbours, just forest and you feel very secluded and blanketed in fresh mountain air. It was ideal. The owners have done an amazing job renovating and tending this old farmstead and the surrounding land and river. We went on spectacular mountain walks locally as well as some stunning wild VTT (mountain bike) trails. Some directly from the house and some only a few minutes drive away. The local town of Prats de Mollo is beautiful, quite, untroubled by the events in the outside world: calm and peaceful but with everything you could possibly need. It was the perfect break ... we'll be back next year! Craig and Family

Summary: Such a beautiful gîte surrounded by stunning scenery. The accommodation was lovely and cosy with everything you would need. When we arrived it was uncharacteristically cold so Simon had lit a fire for us, very kind and and also very cosy! We had such a relaxing time with walks in the surrounding area and a few trips to the local park for our little girl. Simon was an excellent host, around for a chat and advice about the area which was lovely. He even dug out a little bike for our daughter so she could have a wizz round the garden. The grounds are stunning with butterflies everywhere. Really loved our stay here and would 100% recommend visit here. Also, the sky at night due to no light pollution is not one to be missed!

Summary: We spent a very relaxing week at Simon's place. Found everything in perfect state. With the good weather we spent most time out in the green, had campfire at the river and enjoyed the dark sky in the night. We are going to return.

Summary: We stayed in the Atelier in Can Lloquette from 17th June to 1st July 2017. We had a wonderful stay. The property is entirely beautiful… The swimming pool was wonderful and the natural plunge pool was magical. The Atelier was beautifully clean and extremely well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Our host, Simon, was always helpful and provided us with extremely useful information about lovely spots to visit and markets to see. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return again. We highly recommend Can Lloquette as a holiday destination.

Summary: We had a terrific stay in Can Llouquette and would highly recommend it. It is a beautiful location. We really enjoyed the peace and quiet and the beautiful walks. The pool was great especially for the kids and there were lots of lovely places to visit in the surrounding area. Our only disappointment was the weather but that's life! The owner, Simon, was extremely helpful and welcoming and offered lots of terrific suggestions for where to visit. Overall, a great holiday!

Summary: We spent a wondeful week staying in La Bergerie at Can Llouquette. It's a beautiful, tranquil place, set in a wonderful, quiet location, close to Canigou, one of the iconic mountains of the Pyreneés. Simon, our host couldn't have been more welcoming and took real pleasure and pride in giving us the most relaxing, worry free of holidays. Le Bergerie is a comfortable and well equiped Gîte, with it's own terrace and there's also a lovely swimming pool which is a great place to get to know any other families in residence. I can thoroughly recommend a week or two at Can Llouquette for a completely care free family holiday.

Summary: Can Llouquette didn't live up to our expectations - it surpassed them! From the moment we arrived, Simon made sure that we were comfortable, had everything we needed and was a mine of useful information about the region, what to do and where to visit. The gite was immaculate and equipped with everything you could possibly need, with the benefit of a large shady private terrace to shelter from the midday sun. There are 4 gites at the property, and L'Atelier proved a good choice for our boisterous and sometimes 'barky' dog as this gite is set a little away from the main house and other gites ... our neighbours were probably grateful! The grounds are beautiful, with a stream running through and lots of private spots for picnics and generally just lazing around. The pool was probably the best I have enjoyed in a holiday rental - big enough for a decent swim and with sun-facing terraces and plenty of comfy loungers ... and, like the accommodation and garden, was kept beautifully clean. Whilst I enjoyed lazing around the pool, 'himself' could just take himself off for several hours of strenuous walking, with mountain paths accessible directly from the property. Days out were spent frontier-hopping between France and Spain - the Sunday market in Comprodon (Spain) was a great place to do the food shopping, so you only need to arrive with the basics on a Saturday. All in all, a perfect spot for a late season break, although I imagine it could be even more beautiful in the verdant early summer-time.

Summary: Can Llouquette took longer to get to from Beziers airport than expected, and we arrived late at night. It seems very remote on first visit and after dark, but once you get to know the roads and get a feel for the place, the ten minutes or so to Montferrer or Prats doesn't seem too far. The track down to the cottages is very rough and when we arrived in a dark distant forest tired and hungry we couldn't have been happier with the warm welcome and the beautiful accommodation. The offer of a carafe of wine was most welcome, and we were so pleased that Ashley had put a travel cot in the spare room for our youngest, and a chest of toys for him, so thoughtful. The beds were comfortable, the cottage was cosy, and the view from the cottage in the morning was just amazing. The owners were very helpful and accommodating, nothing was too much trouble, and although we saw them around during the day they were not at all intrusive and really very lovely people. The pool was too cold to swim in comfortably in May, but no doubt will be fabulous later in the year. It's really a very lovely part of the world and I genuinely think we will return sometime. We would happily have stayed much longer than the week had our schedule allowed.
