Picture yourself waking up to the sun rising over the Mediterranean, just outside your bedroom window. Or lingering over a glass of Banyuls wine and watching the sun set over the Pyrenees. This 2-bedroom, 53 m2 apartment has a 70 m2 patio overlooking sea and mountains. The south-western exposure guarantees sunshine, even in the heart of winter. In addition to the patio, there is a delightful little “Romeo and Juliet” balcony off the living room. The interior is light and airy, with a 3-metre-high ceiling and lovely period chandeliers. The well-equipped kitchen has a good-sized, ceramic top stove and oven, a double sink and loads of cupboards. French doors open onto the spacious patio, with a panoramic view of the village, the Mediterranean and the mountains. Renovated in a 1920s art deco-style mansion (also known in France as an “hôtel particulier”) the apartment, located on the second floor, is just a 5-minute walk from shops, services, the beach and an international train station. Only 4 km away and you are on the Costa Brava in Spain. The Town of Cerbère Unlike many other towns along the coast, Cerbère is not a destination resort. It has its own personality and charm, including wonderful festivals and period architecture. The people are friendly and welcoming and…still French! Amenities include: two bakeries, supermarket, grocery, butcher, hairdresser, clothing boutique, bank, souvenir shops, restaurants and cafes. The Area With its mountains and vineyards above, owners are about a two hours’ drive or train ride from Barcelona & the resorts of the Pyrenees. The nearest town up the coast is Banyuls-sur-Mer, renowned for its thalassotherapy center and its wine. On the Spanish side, just half an hour away, is Figueres, a bustling market town and birthplace of Salvador Dali.
