Ceret, Medieval town near Spanish border in French Catalonia

Perfect for exploring Catalan coast, mountains & Spain - on foot, by bike or car

Ideally located on the outskirts of Céret - the jewel of French Catalonia - , this spacious four-bedroom villa offers the best of both worlds: peace and privacy with panoramic mountain views, yet within walking distance (20 minutes) of the town’s vibrant centre.

Whether you’re drawn to the little fishing village of Collioure, the golden beaches of the Côte Vermeille, the dramatic biking/hiking trails of the Pyrenees, or the art and culture of French and Spanish Catalonia, this villa is the perfect base.

Spacious Layout with Four Comfortable Bedrooms

The villa includes four bedrooms, comfortably sleeping up to eight guests. A recently converted ground-floor twin room features its own en-suite shower room—ideal for guests needing step-free access. The layout is bright and open, with modern living spaces that flow easily into the garden and pool area.

⸻

Private Pool, Large Garden & Mountain Views

Surrounded by a beautifully landscaped and secluded garden, the villa offers exceptional outdoor space. Enjoy a large private swimming pool, a sun terrace for lounging, and three distinct outdoor dining areas—each with mosaic and wrought iron furniture. A conservation area borders the property, preserving its peace, privacy, and uninterrupted views of the foothills.

⸻

Walkable Access to Historic Céret

While the villa enjoys a peaceful setting across the river from central Céret, it’s just a 25-minute stroll to the town’s charming streets, art galleries, and famous Saturday market. The nearby spa town of Amélie-les-Bains also offers a relaxing day out with thermal baths and wellness treatments.

⸻

What Guests Love
• Large secluded garden with private pool and sun terrace
• Quiet, scenic location with panoramic views
• Spacious, modern interiors ideal for families or groups
• Easy access to both the French and Spanish coasts and Pyrenees
• Walking distance to Céret’s shops, restaurants, and cultural spots - 5 minutes by car from supermarkets
• Stunning road/mountain biking routes and hiking trails in the Pyrenees
• Discovering local chateaux vineyards offering local fare in leading wine growing area of France
• Visiting top local restaurants like Le Neptune in Collioure, and relaxed fish/seafood restaurants like Les Dunes in Pals



⸻

Owner Tips

We love taking the scenic drive to Collioure for lunch by the harbour, or heading across the border to the beaches of Palafrugell or the Dalí Museum in Figueres. Don’t miss Céret’s open-air Saturday market—it’s one of the best in the region for local produce, cheese, and Catalan specialities.
The villa is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. The bathroom offers hair dryers and bidets. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a fireplace.

We have given 5*’s across the board, but this is solely to reflect the kindness and understanding of the owners. Due to extenuating circumstances our booking had to change and we were able to discuss this with the owners to work out a solution together. Thank you again for your understanding of our situation

Perfect holiday and we hope to return

We had a really wonderful stay. We found the house extremely comfortable with everything we needed provided. It was a luxury to stay somewhere that felt like a real home and with a large sitting room. There was just 4 of us but you could comfortably sleep 8 if couples/family in the 4 bedrooms. We didn't actually use one bedroom which is self contained on the ground floor with its own bathroom. The outdoor space is really beautiful - you can breakfast on the front porch with the morning sun, overlooking Ceret and the mountains, then later in the day when hotter enjoy the cool area of the outdoor patio round the back. The pool is beautiful and very clean. It takes about 25 mins to walk into the centre of Ceret. During the day when it was hot we would drive, and could always find parking. In the evening we enjoyed the pleasant stroll there and back, and the walk over the bridges is stunning. Ceret is perfect and unspoilt. We enjoyed the museum, markets, dance festival and restaurants there. We also enjoyed days out at the lake nearby and the coast - especially Port-Vendres. Thank you for the hospitality - we would love to return

Séjour agréable

Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable à Céret. Le village est bien placé pour visiter les alentours. La maison est spacieuse et confortable. Nous avons eu un peu chaud car la chaleur s’installe vite dans la maison et impossible de laisser les fenêtres ouvertes à cause des moustiques. Il manque une machine à café. Sinon la boulangerie à côté de l’intermarche sert de très bons expresso!

Prestations pas à la hauteur du prix demandé

Séjour agréable car la maison est dans un lotissement calme mais les équipements sont trop anciens et certains cassés (robinet évier cuisine par exemple), pas de cafetière électrique ou à dosettes, le frigo est petit et il manque une étagère ce qui en réduit encore la capacité. Il ne dispose pas d'une partie congélateur juste un freezer (qui était sale ) Le ménage est succinct. La piscine est agréable mais elle n'est pas chauffée, donc l'eau reste froide, le liner mériterait d'être nettoyé et elle se trouve à proximité de végétaux qui attirent les moustiques. Suggestion d'amélioration : moderniser les équipements de la cuisine : ustensiles et électroménagers. En mettre moins mais des plus récents. Autour de la piscine mettre des essences qui éloignent les moustiques (lavande par ex). Pour le prix payé nous nous attendions à des prestations de bien meilleure qualité.

It was hot!

We really enjoyed our stay at Les Mimosas, in spite of temperatures sometimes over 40C! Under those conditions the pool was a joy and constantly in use. Sensible use of shutters, ans and windows (and the presence of a cool breeze at times) kept the temperatures inside the house bearable. Anne promptly answered our questions and we would certainly consider staying again. The location was very peaceful. Ceret is a lovely and interesting town with a fascinating history. Bill & Sally

Great pool for the grandchildren but am afraid I'm not a fan of futon beds!

Our one main disappointment was the absence of a freezer. There was only a small ice box inside the fridge - we felt inadequate for a villa that sleeps 8! This excluded us from buying bags of ice, ice creams etc etc in any quantity. Also we felt the television was lacking - a mass of wires and no instructions as to what was what! We did manage to find BBC News eventually. However we loved the peaceful location and Ceret itself.

Topp ferieopphold for åtte mennesker, seks voksne og to barn.

Boligen fungerte supert for en familie med seks voksne og to barn. Boligen hadde alt vi trengte; gode store soverom, velutstyrt kjøkken og fine uteområder hvor vi oppholdt oss mesteparten av tiden. Det manglet en barneseng, men det ble skaffet til veie. Hagen var nydelig med frukttrær og blomster, vakker utsikt, og omgivelsene var stille og rolige. Beliggenheten var fin - en passelig spasertur inn til Ceret. Vi savnet kort og godt ingenting - vi bare nøt dagene på dettte deilige stedet, og kommer gjerne tilbake.

We enjoyed a wonderful weeks holiday in Ceret. The house is well positioned to explore all the area has to offer, literally from the mountains to the sea. Situated close to Perpignan airport it was a stress free break for all. The house is spacious, clean and has all you need for the week including a delightful pool and outside space with views to the mountains. Would recommend the property highly.

Fantastic villa with stunning views

Just back from a wonderful fortnight in this gorgeous house on the outskirts of Ceret. The house was even better than the photos suggest, and the views are to die for. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was provided, including a well-equipped kitchen - not that we ever ate in, given the excellent variety of restaurants in the town and surrounding area. The local contact, Dave, was also incredibly helpful on the one occasion we needed him. All in all, a fantastic property in a lovely town.

Spacious, comfortable, wonderful views,great pool

We have just had a wonderful two weeks in this villa. It was so easy to live in, we felt at home really quickly. The rooms are extremely spacious and the villa is very well equipped. The highlight for us was the wonderful outside area - the balcony to our bedroom with its panoramic views, the pool area, the garden - all with views. There was a great choice of sitting out areas with tables, chairs and easily moved loungers so that it was easy to chase sun or shade. The pool was a good size and we used it most days. It was cleaned during our stay as was the villa so we felt very well looked after. There is a boulangerie and excellent restaurant within walking distance of the villa. Ceret is a lovely little town with a wonderful Saturday market and a variety of restaurants. The surrounding area is not only beautiful but full of history dating back hundreds of years and more recently - we only did about 300 miles in the two weeks we were there as there was so much to see so near - Banyuls, Port-Vendres, Collioure, Arles, Prats de Molle, Amelie, Elne. Thank you Anne and David

Perfect

We have just returned from a 2 week stay in this villa, it is lovely, the photos don't quite do it justice, particularly the stunning views. I couldn't capture them in my photos either, I guess you just have to be there! Ceret is a gorgeous little town with lots to do in the surrounding area, lovely beaches a short drive away. It is hard to tear yourself away from the pool which is perfect, not too deep. The accommodation has everything you need and is very spacious and spotlessly clean. Definitely recommend.

fabulous family holiday

We stayed in this lovely villa in 2014 for 10 days with our two teenage girls. The pool is beautifully located so that it is in the sunshine for most of the day, so perfect for sunbathing and when you are swimming in it, it feels like you are swimming into the mountains. The villa has everything you need for a hassle free holiday. There are lots of activities locally for young and teenage kids including the adventure activity centre at the Lake at Saint Jean which is 5 minutes drive away. There is a lot of local horse riding, the coast is half an hour’s drive on the French side and 45 minutes to Spanish resorts in Catalonia and Costa Brava. If you fancy walking, there are many marked trails and also scope to choose from a wide variety of walks to suit all tastes and levels of fitness. Numerous restaurants serve food catering for a wide variety of tastes and budgets. We would warmly recommend this for a family holiday and it would suit families who want to bring along grandparents.
