If you're hoping to experience this mountainous region, no matter the season, this comfortable home in the little village of Gessa is the perfect base. Part of a small complex of similar homes, it's beautifully styled, spacious and cosy for either a family or a few friends sharing. If you're here to hike in summer or ski in winter, it's well placed for the Baqueira resort, with pretty Salardu just moments away by car. Inside, it's a modern take on the traditional buildings of the area, with plenty of natural wood, stone and slate. A fireplace forms the focal point in the open-plan living space, with comfy sofas and patio doors opening out to a small private terrace. And a perfectly practical kitchen makes cooking at home a cinch.
