Location

Vilalte is a small but spacious hamlet situated on the South-facing slopes of the massif of Mount Canigou at an altitude of 920m offering breath-taking views over the surrounding mountains and hills. It is only a mile away from the famous GR10, the Pyrenees track connecting the Mediterranean Sea with the Atlantic Ocean and it takes only three hours to reach Vilalte from Barcelona centre.

Vilalte is situated at the end of a one mile long private drive, 10km away from the small village of Corsavy. Due to its isolated position, no noise but the sounds of nature are to be heard and the most beautiful starry skies can be seen, a gift of the absence of light pollution by night. Wild boars, Pyrenees vultures, eagles and many other wildlife can be seen here in addition to a great diversity of botanical species.

The ancient stone buildings dating back to the 17th century, have been totally renovated and restored to provide a comfortable stay to guests throughout the year.
The hamlet consists of a large mansion house and a newly constructed, spacious, 150m² large wooden barn (yoga/meditation hall) with a grass roof and infrared heating, and five other smaller buildings, one of which is used by the owners.

A  Finnish sauna and a steam bath, both suitable for 4 to 6 people, are at the guests disposal and there are also two treatment rooms. The property includes several dry wall terraces, where fruits and vegetables are grown organically, a large bio-pool with a natural and biological filtering system (no chemicals) surrounded by large decking areas, lawns and gardens.

All around there are acres and acres of pristine forest offering adventurous trails between enormous granite boulders and ageless oaks. Also inside the property an ancient stone circle (Cromlech) can be reached within a short walk. Vilalte's pure drinking water comes from a deep private well and is mechanically and UV filtered, while a natural spring provides for the watering of the garden. Cabled internet connection is available in a few central common spaces while, with the intent of minimising electro-magnetic pollution, wifi connection is available on request but for limited periods only.

All lamps are either incandescent bulbs or LED (no mercury) and all cleaning product used are environmentally friendly. Travertine floors in the terraces and in the kitchens, wooden floors in the bedrooms, colourful tiles from Spain, oak furniture in every room and beautiful water Flowforms in the gardens also contribute to a residential quality of the highest standard.
