Casa ilicia - B&B Chambres d'Hôtes Canigou — Hotel in Prades

It has a reputation as the sunniest village in France, is largely car-free and is an excellent starting point for hikes and mountain biking. The only very slight minus was the bed, which my wife found rather hard. ||Highly...

We had a nice stay here. As expected the village was beautiful. We were disappointed though that the terrace we had seen so many pictures of, was apparently off limits to us. We were given access to a top terrace, which had no sun and mouldy patio chairs. There was also no indoor common space or basic kitchen appliances for guests ( which made our stay difficult since they don't offer a 'table d'hôte '). We were very nicely given access to another room since we were a large group and hanging out in somebody's bedroom would be uncomfortable, but this is likely not always possible. Overall very warm welcome, but lacking...
