Els Lledoners boasts a welcoming terrace around the main wall, with plants and garden furniture. You can also enjoy the large balcony on the upper floor, with breathtaking views over the garden and surrounding fields.

The house is surrounded by gardens with lawns and flowers, hundreds of olive trees at the back and large nettle trees (lledoners, in Catalan), which give the house its name and provide shade in the summer.

A profusion of roses and aromatic plants fill the garden with fragrances. Alongside the house is a beautiful porch, just in front of the castle. The castle’s moat, full of goldfish and lilies, highlights the magnificence of the setting.

It is well worth your while to stroll through the house’s surroundings and to relax whilst contemplating the countryside. Panoramic views of the shrine of Mare de Déu del Mont and the Canigó mountain.

The Castle:
The small Castle of Biure de Queixàs is today uninhabited, with is interior currently undergoing restoration. Its construction commenced in the eleventh century and, according to historical archives, its was gradually modified over the course of the centuries. It was originally home to the local feudal lord, but was converted into a Carmelite monastery from 1730 to 1844. It lost its defensive tower in the Napoleonic Wars and conserves its appearance from that date.

Part of the castle is surrounded by a moat, full of goldfish, which is continually fed with water from the spring.
