Charming Eco-Friendly Tiny Home with Mediterranean Horizon Views Near Céret | France

Description

Come and recharge in our panoramic tiny home, which, thanks to its elevated position in a natural setting typical of French Catalonia, offers a spectacular panoramic view of the Albères mountain range and even the Mediterranean Sea on the horizon!

SPACE
Installed on the wine-growing and agricultural estate of Michael & Céline, your hosts, the tiny home includes all amenities within 14 perfectly optimized square meters:
Sleeping area: a queen-size bed 160x200 cm (2 adults) and a convertible bench (1 additional adult, extra bed)
Kitchen area: refrigerator, gas stove, sink, utensils, dishes and condiments
Dining area with high table and stools
Bathroom: sink, walk-in shower, and ecological dry toilets
Soaps, towels and bed linens provided
Heating: gas stove
Ceiling fan to keep you cool (no air conditioning)
Outdoor furniture (except in winter): table, chairs & deckchairs (no barbecue)
Drinking water via a 5-liter fountain: do not drink tap water, which comes from a tank and is only for showers and dishwashing
Cleaning included
Free parking

For meals, available at extra cost and by reservation at least 48 hours before your stay (then depending on availability past that time), your hosts offer:
a mixed aperitif board
a plate of freshly sliced cured ham
a 3-course meal (starter/main/dessert), entirely homemade using products from the market, the garden, or local producers

Note: The dishes are prepared by the talented Raphaël (17 years old), the eldest son of your hosts, and awarded in the “Meilleur Apprenti de France” competition. Options vary with the seasons.
Your hosts will also be happy to show you their biodynamic estate or offer tastings of the organic wines produced on site (extra charge).


GOOD TO KNOW:
The tiny home is located in nature and is fully autonomous: electricity is produced by solar panels, cooking and heating run on gas, and running water is stored in a tank. You have all the usual comfort, but the idea of this alternative habitat is also to raise awareness of environmental impact!
Because of this, a few rules apply during your stay:
Except for phones and laptops, do not plug in any electrical devices other than those provided on-site, to avoid damaging the solar system. It is therefore not possible to use, for example, a hair dryer, straightener, or raclette machine.
Because the fire risk is extremely high in nature, smoking is strictly prohibited inside the tiny home and in the surrounding area. Lighting any flame is forbidden (no barbecue).
Wastewater is filtered by plants: please use only the 100% natural products provided (shower gel, dish soap).
Pets are not allowed inside the tiny home.

ACCESS
Arrival: from 5:00 pm
Departure: before 10:00 am
A key box is available for late arrivals.
Access to the tiny home is via a forest road (unpaved) about 1 km long, accessible by car. The path may be challenging in places for low-clearance vehicles (e.g., sports cars).
You have a free parking space near the tiny home.


NOTES
The tiny home is located on Céline and Michael’s working property; they work on-site during the day. You may therefore meet them (and their dogs) during your stay.

There is no Wi-Fi in the accommodation.
The entrance to the tiny home is not at ground level; there is a small staircase of 3 steps. The accommodation is not accessible for people with reduced mobility (PRM).

The vines around the tiny home change with the seasons, offering a different landscape throughout the year.
Bed linen is washed but not ironed.
Don’t worry, you’re not far from everything!

At Homnest, we immerse you in a world of extraordinary adventures, as close as possible to local communities and their people. Our concept? We build beautiful eco-lodges, then install them for free with friendly hosts who wish to welcome travelers at the heart of their regions, passions, and local curiosities. Our ambition is to install 1,000 refuges with 1,000 fantastic hosts all around the world (Antarctica included). Welcome to your hosts Céline and Michael, in Vallespir!

ADDITIONAL RULES
Here is the house rules applicable during your stay:
1 - Do not run the gas stove (heater) for more than 2 consecutive hours and turn it off at night by closing the gas cylinder valve (turn fully closed). The kitchen gas cylinder must also be closed after each use.
2 - It is forbidden to handle gas cylinders (other than closing the valve at night) and forbidden to disconnect any detectors.
3 - Smell of gas: Danger! If a smell of gas persists, open the windows, do not light any flame, and exit the place. Immediately contact your hosts.
4 - As the risk of fire is very high in nature, it is strictly forbidden to smoke inside the tiny home or on the surrounding grounds. Lighting any flame (barbecue, candle, etc.) is also prohibited.
5 - Except for laptops, phones, and devices provided on-site, do not plug in any other appliances, as you could lose electricity. Do not tamper with electrical systems.
6 - Ensure the indoor temperature always remains above 10°C to prevent freezing.
7 - Do not drink water from the taps or the shower (non-potable). Your hosts provide a drinking water dispenser upon arrival. You may request more if needed.
8 - If there is no more water from the taps, close them all. Inform your hosts immediately, even at night, to avoid damaging the pump. If you cannot reach them, please stop using the water until the issue is resolved.

These house rules must be respected, and engage your personal responsibility during the stay. We decline all responsibility in case of any incident resulting from non-compliance with these rules. An English version is available on request or in the shared folder that will be sent to you before your arrival.
