This is an apartment with a wonderful view of the Canigou from the window. The secluded balcony has the same view and we could sit out in the late afternoon and watch the martins and swallows, and the occasional bird of prey. Everything else is secondary really, but the apartment is spacious, well-equipped and quiet at night. Eus is a most attractive hill village with many old houses and narrow streets. The only slight drawback is the very narrow street at the front which is difficult for parking, and the steep steps up to the apartment. But parking in the wider road close by was always possible. Itâs very conveniently placed also to visit local attractions like the superb romanesque monasteries of St Martin-du-Canigou and Serrabone and the fortified village of Villefranche-de-Conflent.
We are very satisfied with our stay. The place is nice, well situated and it is is easy to go hiking right from the village. There are plenty of places to visit around. The only minor thing was that we could hear everything people did in the appartement above us. This should be a question of isolation.
We had a fantastic one-week stay in Eus. The house was very comfortable and well-equipped, making our visit relaxing and enjoyable. Check-in and check-out were smooth. We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.
Wir sind mit dem Motorrad gekommen um den halben August dort zu verbringen, und haben uns sehr wohl dort gefĂŒhlt. Die Wohnung ist total gemĂŒtlich und liebevoll eingerichtet, in warmen Farben mit HolzfuĂboden, annĂ€hernd in Komplettausstattung inc. GeschirrspĂŒler, Waschmaschine und Grill. Uns hat nur die Salatschleuder gefehlt...Alles hat einen sehr gepflegten Eindruck gemacht. Von der Eingangsterrasse hat man sowohl ein schönen Blick auf das Tal und den gegenĂŒberliegenden fast 2700m hohen Berg, als auch auf das Treiben der ankommenden TagesgĂ€ste, was einen nicht zu unterschĂ€tzenden Unterhaltungswert besitzt, ohne dass es unangenehm oder laut wĂ€re. Die Nachbarschaft ist sehr angenehm und auĂerordentlich freundlich. Der Ort an sich ist wunderbar, es gibt mehrere Restaurants und zwei Bars, alle mit Aussicht und zu empfehlen. Zwei kleine Rundwanderwege fĂŒhren mit tollen Aussichten um das Dorf herum. Ausflugsziele und Unternehmungen gibt es in der Umgebung mehr, als man in einem Urlaub nutzen kann. Das Meer ist (mit dem Motorrad) in ca. 1Std. zu erreichen. Man sollte auf jeden Fall mobil sein, GeschĂ€fte gibt es keine im Ort, dafĂŒr auch zum GlĂŒck keine AndenkenlĂ€den. Der nĂ€chste Supermarkt ist 10 min entfernt, also kein Problem.
Das Dorf Eus liegt traumhaft mit Blick auf den Mont du Canigou. Das Objekt ist sehr gut zu erreichen. Die KĂŒche super komfortabel. Alles sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt und wĂ€ren gerne lĂ€nger geblieben.
Von Eus aus kann man tolle Wanderungen unternehmen. Gastronomie vorhanden und mehrere SupermÀrkte im nicht weit entfernten Prades vorhanden. Wir möchten gerne wiederkommen!!
The owners are Stacy and Stewart Monteith. We are probably best described as an 'international' couple, Stacy is from the States and Stewart is from the UK. We met and married in Kuwait where, among other far-flung places, we have been teachers in international schools. We now live in Florida, again teaching for a living but now more 'grounded' and here to stay (probably!).
Our Eus(ful) house was bought in 2005 to provide a 'home for the summer' when on school holidays and as a possible retirement home. Originally, it was one house that was converted into two flats by previous owners. We have kept it that way, but have completely redesigned and remodeled the interior and added windows, put on a new roof and new floors and floor beams in both apartments and had a complete rewire and new plumbing. The outside areas and the 'cave' have also been given a complete overhaul, away from the rather 'utilitarian' condition they were found in. The renovation took over 3 years but we have ended up with a property that has all the convenience and practicality of a modern home, but blends perfectly with the charming, old stone buildings of the village. We take great pride in our 'new' house and hope our guests will enjoy it as much as we do.
Eus is possibly the most picturesque village in the conflent valley and irresistibly draws the eye as one drives along the road into the Pyrenees. When we were seeking a property to use a s a holiday / retirement home in the area, we never thought it would be possible to find an available home for sale. We consider ourselves extremely fortunate that something did become available and what's more, a house which we fell in love with at first sight. We are now very happy that we can share the good fortune to be able to holiday in such extraordinarily beautiful surroundings, with our guests who have always expressed a similar appreciation for their stay in our 'home from home' in Eus.
