We are now on our second week here in Spain and it has been very interesting weather wise. From warm sunny days, to snow on the mountains and the past couple of days to rain!! However, we are fortunate as France has had more snow and the UK even more!!
To get you out of the doldrums - start planning your summer holiday now and forget the long winter and dream of a Quality Villas holiday from rural family farmhouses to luxury family villas.
A particular favourite of mine is Prieure de Lagrasse which is in the Corbiere Valley. I just love this area and when I am there I am truly in paradise. Tall Cypress trees dominate the landscape, rows of vines and all with a mountainous backdrop.
Prieure de Lagrasse was formally a 12th century priory to the celebrated Abbey of Lagrasse with the 12th century chapel that still remains today. In the early 18th century the house was remodelled as a “Chartreuse” when its vineyards, that now completely surround the estate, were further developed. The present owners have renovated this property to provide a country home that is reflected in the attention to detail and quality of decoration. This comfortable and elegant family home is furnished with high quality antiques yet exudes comfort and a welcoming atmosphere. Spacious living rooms and bedrooms this house is perfect for two families or a large group holidaying together.
The walled park comprises of 2 acres of box hedging and alleys, cedar, cypress, lime and other various specimen trees. A rose garden and sunken garden add to the interesting flavour of these grounds. The park has been restocked with camellias, azaleas, cistus, oleanders, mimosas, French hibiscus and others that give this property a wonderful Mediterranean feel. There is a private 10m x 6m swimming pool with sun loungers and umbrellas.
