✦ in season there's a couple of resturants a short walk, otherwise have to go into town

---

great short walk from door, but then slightly boring tracks climbing; good for biking with many variants but always a fair bit of climbing
✦ good bike to a pretty village with resto/cafes
✦ the fort-village of Villefranche 15mins drive with many restos, and bus also possible, from here the narrow guage railway climbs to the top of the mountains, a day trip in itself

---

20mins walk to multisport court but
✦ better countryside with hikes to climb Canigou up the valley 20mins drive / 40mins bus
✦ kitesurfing 30mins drive
✦ 30mins drive to the impressive natural formations of Les Orgues
✦ 30mins drive (1h bus) to secret hot springs and hikes up a gorge leading to a remote lake overnighting in a hut
✦ a few more interesting villages, abbeys, chateaus etc in around 30–40mins
✦ watersports (reliable watershed) for rafting/kayaking 1h
✦ 50mins drive to much nicer coast at Argeles/Collioure
✦ 1h drive to skiing (train also but slow)

---

whilst Perpignan station is super convenient, it's a further 15mins walk into the centre, still reasonable; changes for beach trains are however absurd
✦ easy access via Perpignan for flights from to Barcelona and other regional airports (Perpignan, Montpellier, Carcassonne, Beziers) and also TGVs from Paris, London and northern Europe

---

area is becoming badly affected by drought

Property ✧ example of a ready to use hotel in a fairly standout location that'd require not much work, however in general it's better to put effort in and acheive a more fucntional coliving layout, thus not such great value beyond adding properties at scale if there's a strong waiting list as the cost is only marginally higher, e.g. €30k/unit

---

dropped 15k (yes minor, but it is fucntional and only non-functional buildings drop significantly)
✦ 3 floors, currently having 15 rooms/studios: 3 seperate 2-room apartments would need redividing into rooms or pods, 5 studios, and 4 rooms
✦ not strictly large enough for dedicated units though could be if microstudios
✦ 375m2 of garden but on a steep slope between the back of the building and a higher little road up into the village, but part courtyard and could easily be develop into orangerie and very nice outdoor spaces
✦ south-west facing and all rooms have juliet balconcies with view over therme's arboretum, ground floor big windows
