When the house was inhabited twenty – two years ago, there was
some small scale pig and goat farming. The building where the pigs
were fattened can still be seen today, although it is no longer in
use. It was rehabilitated to fence in the flock of 450 sheep, as
they could pasture in the forests which surrounded Les Pletes.
At present, all the vines of that time are now used for growing
cereals, especially corn and barley. But, as the farmers say “
In the year 2001, Les Pletes was restored and converted for its
use in the circuit of Rural Tourism. It fits into the category of
independent rural accommodation.
The reforms of the house have been carried out following the
principles of functionality and comfort. A swimming pool has been
added and the typology of a country house has been preserved:
stone walls, wooden beams, the original plaster coverings,
fireplace, a cellar,....
The house has central heating, a television, a fully equipped
kitchen, fridge, dishwasher, barbecue,...
Initially it sleeps 8 people. In 2006, this house has been extended. A multipurpose room of about 100 square meters. This room consists of a kitchen and a barbecue with tables and chairs; in this room also we can find a ping-pong table, a billiards and a table football.
In the ground floor, before the multipurpose room, is a suite room with a double bed and two individual beds in the attic of this room. This before was a rabbit breeder.
In the entrance of the door of the stairs, a marriage room has been added.
In the third floor, underneath the vault, two rooms have become more, one of them triple one (with 3 beds), and the other double. Also a bathroom has been made that shares these two rooms.
After the last reform Les Pletes has capacity for 19 people, distributed of the following way:
- a quadruple room (suite), that consists of 1 double bed and 2 individual bed in the attic of the room.
- a triple room.
- four rooms doubles, one of these with own bath.
- four independent bathrooms.
