The space
Villa Mathilde is a spacious and comfortable villa, in the picturesque village of Bouleternere - situated in the foothills of the Pyrenees, 30 minutes from beaches on the Mediterranean, and 90 minutes from resorts in the high Pyrenees.
The house has beautiful terraced gardens and a brand new pool with sun deck. Activities are almost endless – they include hiking in the Pyrenees, skiing in winter (60 minutes away) award-winning Languedoc wineries, mountain and road biking and swimming/water sports at beautiful local beaches.
It’s ideal for an activity holiday or just to get away from it all - you can relax in the garden or pool side, and look over fruit orchards towards the mountains. The house is in superb condition and fitted with good quality furniture, beds and a lovely well equipped kitchen.
You can expect beautiful crisp new bed linen and fluffy towels. The house is suitable for winter letting as it is heated throughout with the added bonus of a cosy wood burning stove. Villa Mathilde is the perfect place for your holiday with family and friends.
