Mas Camps is in the foothills of the Pyrenees, surrounded by vineyards and offers you an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life whilst only 20 minutes drive from the city of Perpignan with its convenient daily Ryanair and FlyBE flights to London, Birmingham, Manchester and Southampton plus regular high speed (TGV) trains to Barcelona, Paris and Toulouse. Although in the country, we are only 40 minutes drive from the beach resort of Canet Plage, within an hour of the Spanish border, under 90 minutes to the ski resorts and 2½ hours from Andorra ie we are an excellent base for exploring the region.

Our rooms are a range of double, twin, triple ensuite rooms and a quad ensuite room (two double beds). Each of our rooms is uniquely decorated with the overall theme taken from the wines of the region and all with views of the vineyards and mountains. We offer you a choice of room only, bed and breakfast (B&B or chambres d'hôtes) or you can have half-board in conjunction with our restaurant.

In our restaurant, we offer you a wide range of dishes reflecting the international nature of our clientele. We change the menu daily to reflect the availability of fresh ingredients. Half board options are available from 36€ per person. Our fully licensed restaurant stocks a range of the locally produced wines along with other alcoholic beverages and, of course, soft drinks. The adjacent Mas Camps winery offers tasting and tours can be arranged.

Within 30 minutes drive are mountain scenery, Cathar and Templar history through the chateaux of Queribus (where the Cathars made their last stand)and Peyrepertuse, early European history in the Tautavel museum, cycling, walking and rambling, fishing, wine tasting, Perpignan (the Catalan city which Salvador Dali declared to be the 'centre of the universe') and, of course, lovely houses to buy through the local estate agents should you want to stay a bit longer.
