This mas from the
17th century is truly a beautiful house, with its Catalan water
mill dating even further back, and located in the Albères,
at the very beginning of the Pyrénées mountains.
It has recently changed owners,
and the new ones are imaginative and perfectionist. The place
maintains a tradition of being first and foremost a place of
peace and comfort.
The atmosphere is
relaxing and friendly; the décor is perfect all the way
into the details, from the tablecloths to the crockery, and
Magalie, the hostess, leaves nothing to chance!
The beautiful terrace,
located around the pool and the magnificent vaulted dining room
with exposed old stones are an invitation to enjoying cuisine.
Vincent Cardoso, the young promising Chef, knows perfectly well
how to combine traditional cuisine with inventive touches as
well as some very rich Mediterranean ones.
The "inspiration
of the day" menu, composed specially for ideal gourmet,
is a festival of different flavours and takes you on a gourmet
journey in this place where time disappears and where one runs
a great risk of becoming a regular…
Yield to temptation, you won't be disappointed!
