    Magnificent Mas in Vallespir

    Perched on top of a hill in Vallespir you will find Mas Clos d’en Guardia, where you will receive a warm welcome from Vicky and Chris, the proud owners of this house whose origins go back to the 15th century. You will find a place to relax and enjoy the beautiful garden, the swimming pool on a hot day or a dinner outside on the terrace with stunning views. We will come back some time soon!

    A gem in the foothills of the Pyrenees

    We had an amazing time in this beautiful house with our family. It was far more than we expected, and attention to detail was incredible. The boys had a wonderful time in and out of the pool where they spent most of their time when we weren't going out. We, as grandparents, loved the poolside apartment which was so comfortable and private. We had the best night's sleep there as it was so peaceful. Thank you Chris and Vicky for not only making us so welcome, but also for giving us so much help and information about places to visit and eat, many of which we took advantage of. Thank you for a brilliant holiday. Robin, Sue, Nat, Vini, Rudi, Flynn and Arlo xx

    Hidden mountain gem

    We had the most perfect stay in a lovely location. Superbly equipped house and additional annex. Lovely pool. Amazing views and local amenities in striking distance; a couple of us even walked up Pic du Canigou. But top prize goes to hosts Chris and Vicky (and their sons). Attentive to just the right degree. Made sure we had all we needed for a five star stay. They could not be more helpful and generous, and went out of their way to make us feel at home. Even supplied emergency wine and bread on one occasion! Both are very knowledgeable about the area and keen to advise. Highly recommend this as a destination!

    From the moment we arrived, we felt truly welcomed by Chris and Vicky. Their home is beautifully decorated—comfortable, spotless, and full of thoughtful touches to make sure we had everything we needed. Surrounded by lush greenery, the whole place has such a calming, peaceful atmosphere that we felt relaxed right away.We all loved the pool and spent lots of quality family time there. Our children felt completely at home, making friends and enjoying the forest and park area within the garden. There were so many different corners to explore—they honestly could have spent the whole week there without ever leaving! Chris and Vicky are natural hosts, and their local knowledge was invaluable. They gave us some fantastic recommendations for walks, places to visit, and great spots to eat. Chris is also an excellent cycling guide—he took us on some brilliant local routes that suited all the different levels in our group.We also made the most of the relaxing atmosphere by booking massages with Adeline, who worked wonders on everyone’s tired muscles and added to the overall sense of calm. The hot tub was an extra treat—especially at night, when we relaxed under the stars and even caught a meteor shower. Magnifique! A huge thank you to Chris and Vicky for their warm hospitality, generosity, and kindness. We’re so grateful to have experienced not only their beautiful home but also the lovely community around it.

    Merveilleux endroit niché dans la nature

    Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans la superbe maison de Vicky et Chris. Nous étions 8 adultes et nous étions très bien installés, répartis dans le studio près de la piscine, le Mas principal et le deuxième gîte. La propriété est superbe, avec une très belle vue sur les montagnes, un grand jardin et une très belle piscine à débordement. Il y a aussi un ruisseau et une cascade très rafraichissante au fond du jardin. La maison est très au calme car isolée sur le flanc de la montagne à environ 10min d'Arles sur Tech. Aucun soucis pour faire les courses régulièrement et pour partir en excursion. Superbe ciel étoilé pour les fans du ciel nocturne et les chasseurs d'étoiles filantes :-) La région est magique pour les fans de randonnées, on peut en faire certaines directement au départ de la maison. Enfin, nous avons beaucoup apprécié la disponibilité et la gentillesse de Chris et Vicky qui font vraiment tout pour rendre leurs clients satisfaits ! Bravo !

    Excellente location

    Nous avons séjourné chez Vicky et Chris, qui nous ont chaleureusement accueillis dans un agréable mas,confortable et bien équipé. Les différentes terrasses permettent de varier les plaisirs, la piscine à débordement offre une vue sur la vallée. Nos hôtes se sont montrés très attentionnés sans pour autant être envahissants. L'environnement boisé et la rivière en contrebas offrent un beau terrain de jeu aux enfants et randonneurs. Merci pour cette formidable semaine, nous reviendrons sûrement !

    The hidden gem

    What a beautiful paradise hidden away in South West France. The house itself is so beautiful and oozes character. In front of the fireplace is the place to be on cool nights! I can only imagine what it's like in summer in the beautiful gardens and being able to laze around the swimming pool taking in all the surrounding nature. I rode my motorcycle there and there are many beautiful roads in the area keeping riders entertained for weeks I'm sure. I also loved the ambience created by the creek close to the property, however you cannot hear this inside so it doesn't disturb your sleep. On the whole, it's a beautiful, peaceful place to be. I fell in love with this place in the short time I was there.
