Mas des Amandiers, Ortaffa, Pyrénées-Orientales

Mas des Amandiers offers self-catering accommodation for four people on three hectares of oak woodland and grassland

In the countryside south of Perpignan, this newly fitted out self-catering holiday rental can accommodate four people: one double bedroom and one bunk room.
The property is situated on three hectares of oak woodland and grassland, near the Albères hills that form the Eastern end of the Pyrenees, close to the Mediterranean Sea, Spain and the Pyrenees.
Book a week (or two!) in the spring and join some of the Birding Languedoc day trips to make the most of a birdwatching holiday to the area!

Plenty of birdwatching on site!

An amazing 90 bird species have been recorded from the property with 24 species nesting here including Golden oriole, Woodchat shrike, Bonellis warbler and Nightjar. The property is just 30 minutes’ drive from Etang de Canet with its Flamingos, an hour’s easy drive to the Aiguamolls wetland reserve over the border in Spain and only one hour to the high Pyrenees (vultures, Golden eagles). There are several good migration spots nearby too, adding even more birdwatching interest in spring and late summer.  Seasonal home grown produce is available from our orchard and veggie patch.

We are a French/English couple and look forward to welcoming you to the Mas des Amandiers. For more photos, information and booking you can click here, or contact us directly by e-mail.

We can pick you up from Perpignan rail station if necessary.
