A recently renovated house with beautiful materials, on a mountainside at 1450 m altitude with a superb view of the watchtower (Atalaya in Catalan) and overlooking the peaceful and authentic village of LLO.
The Cerdanya plateau is a high-altitude territory that jumps between French and Spanish Catalonia and has a very sunny climate with cool nights in summer due to the altitude.
The swimming pool, surrounded by mountains and directly accessible from the gîte terrace, is open from June to September. It is secure and shared with our other gîte ("Montserrat Figueras" - which also has a listing). The water is heated to around 23°C.
// May 2023: We are installing a rainwater harvesting system from the roof. We hope to complete the water level of the pool by the end of June //
