Our house rests in its own grounds of 1.3 hectares (about 3.5 acres) and these are planted with native trees and shrubs. The area around our house forms the low foothills of the Pyrenees and many visitors enjoy walking in this area. There are three bedrooms available for guests to choose from and a good sized secluded swimming pool, close to the house, which is available for guests' use. Please note that as we have a rather timid cat we regretfully cannot accommodate guests’ dogs or other pets.
Mas d'En Coste is about 500m (10 mins. walk) from the hamlet of Politg which is itself 7km by road from the town of Thuir. Politg forms part of the commune of Camélas, and contains about 30 houses but no shops or bars etc. Perpignan is 20km to the east and the coastal resorts of Canet Plage, St. Cyprien and Argeles sur Mer are within a 40 minute drive. The Spanish border is just 25 minutes away. You will find more detailed information on some of these and other places on our web site - just click on the “places to see” button above.
Guests arriving by rail or air are likely to find it is most convenient to hire a car on arrival, as Politg is not well served by public transport.
The climate in the Roussillon area is generally quite mild all year round, most rain tending to fall in late winter and early spring. The summers can be dry, often with very little or no rain for several weeks. Due to our proximity to the Mediterranean and the Pyrenees the maximum daytime temperature in summer does not usually rise much above the lower thirties centigrade and there is often a breeze, which ensures that the days never become too hot,
