The location of the house is wonderful, a bit on a hill with great view. Directly from the house one can do some nice hiking up the hill, e.g. to the abbey St Michael de Cuxa. Very quiet and green area with beatiful flowers. About 15 min walk down to the old city with the church. We particularly appreciated the modern and very well equipped kitchen, and, due to 36° in august, the air condition in each room- splendid!. We were only 3 persons, but the house is ideal for a small family as well, we simply used only the first floor, with its lovely balkony. The house makes a very fresh impression, with a nice bathroom. Prades itself is not at all touristic, not even during the music festival (which is really great if you like classical music!). We did some hiking in the mountains which is really great, but the roads are rather difficult to drive sometimes. People are generally very friendly in the Pyrenees and we were often surprised by this friendly, calm and very helpful attitude. Lots of lovely old villages and castles.
