In our ecological lodgings we hope that you will be able to both rest and recharge your batteries in contact with the invigorating and warm nature, or if you prefer to have fun, learn, discover, have fun… Because there is no shortage of castles and monuments, museums, sports, entertainment and entertainment in the Pyrénées Orientales. There is something for all tastes and budgets, and even just for lovers of beautiful walks and hikes on foot, by bike, car, bus, train, motorbike, camper van or caravan, as well as on horseback, quad, canoe, paddle, sail, parachute, plane, etc. Do not hesitate to visit our page Around us and to contact us beforehand for more information as well as to question the numerous Tourist Offices near the Mediterranean coasts or in the mountains.

How to prepare your stay well before arrival ?

First, consider visiting and contacting the Tourist Office websites to book your activities and events in advance:
http://www.aspres-thir.com/fr
http://www.tourisme-leboulou.fr
http://www.perpignantourisme.com

Before arriving with us, book your massage, modeling or hairdressing sessions with an experienced professional (adult or child): for a haircut (man - woman - child) or a Chinese adult or Ayurvedic baby or child massage on site or in the institute.

Reserve your professional electric adult bikes (MTB or VTC) in advance or on site at our partner BIKE TRUCK Albéra (Montescot (9 km) or for families, children and teenagers at other professionals in Boulou (6 km) or on Argelès-sur-Mer (20 km) or our family bikes (non-pro quality) for just 2 adults and children (depending on ages and sizes).

Book your horse or pony rides or lessons in advance at the Sant Jordi Equestrian Center in St Génis des Fontaines (5 km) or at the St Georges Equestrian Center between Pollestres and Canohès (12 km).

Information on golf courses (with or without reservation) at the small Montescot Golf Course (9 holes) 10 km away or at the large St Cyprien Golf Course (27 holes) 20 km away.

Prepare your luggage accordingly : swimsuits, flip-flops or sandals and beach and pool towels required; even out of season because of the SPA for hot or iced baths or tanning by the sea, pond, river or lake too... why not ! And only if you come by car : bed linen, towels and bathrobes (children safe and adults depending on whether rented here or not), caps and sun creams in summer or hats and K-ways in winter. The rest depends on the needs of each individual and children, dogs, cats, etc.

In addition, as a stay in Furnished Tourist Rental is more often done by the week than by the night (especially in high season: from June to September) even if sometimes also over 2-3 days (in low season: from October to May), it may be useful to obtain more information from us in advance before coming or even booking (read also the page: Important information ). But if you prefer to delegate, or are of foreign nationality, you can send us an email or SMS with all your questions or prior requests for your choice of activities and we will help you as much as possible (language spoken: intermediate level in English or German + Google translation if necessary).

You can see our sign "Mas Natura" from rue des Vendanges and the number 31 in red above it, if you drive slowly. Go straight up this path to the black gate (intercom) but enter directly and park in the large car park in front of the entrance to the Mas.

Be careful not to take the Impasse des Vendanges, but one street further on !

By the D900, after the Catalan village, exit at the Oliu pond roundabout (after the carpooling area) and take the D40 to the entrance to the village of Banyuls-Dels-Aspres. Follow Avenue de l'Olivier straight on, then turn left up Rue de la Tramontane, turn right onto Rue du Thou which goes up again to the central square of the village called "Place de la République" (where the Church and the village hall are located). Then go straight back down Rue de la Poste to the Maire (and Post Office) at the crossroads which starts Rue des Vendanges. In the middle of the bend, take the first gravel road on the left. Go straight up and pass through the black gate (and number 31 in red with a sign "Mas Natura") to park at the end near the Mas.
