Escape to The House & the Hill, a lovingly renovated stone barn, in the quiet foothills of the French Pyrenees. Reconnect with yourself and nature in the snow-capped mountains and beaches of the Mediterranean South of France. An all-year-round luxury ecotourism retreat for summer sun and winter snow vacations.
The House & The Hill started as a dream in 2007. It is the home and the playground of Anne Burniston and Emma Wallace. It has been designed to explore creativity, mindfulness, growth and peaceful living. It’s a place to stay and also a place to learn and perfect for Writers, Creatives, Artists, Walkers, Escapists, Adventurers, Change Agents, Sleepy Heads, Wanderers and Vagabonds. This spacious, self-catering loft apartment, sleeps up to 2 with a private terrace and glorious views over the Fenouillèdes hills and terracotta rooftops of the quiet mountain village of Fosse in Languedoc-Rousillon, France. Whether you choose to holiday in the self-catering apartment, spend time on retreat or join an event or workshop, The House & The Hill hopes that you enjoy your time here and it brings you what you need.
The village of Fosse en Bas, Las Cabanes sits in a small valley of olive trees and grazing pasture. Traditional Catalan stone farmhouses dominate the architecture of the landscape. Nestled in the hills of the Fenouilledes approximately 45 minutes from the Mediterranean city of Perpignan and an hour from the Spanish border, this sleepy little place is our home and we invite you to come and play. We are in a remote area. No restaurant, no bar, no baker and no 24/7 supermarket. We like it that way. Nearest amenities are in the village of Caudies de Fenouilledes, about 10 minutes drive away.
