Listen to us on Alfred - News From Shaftesbury to hear all about our Painting Holiday and Wellbeing Break in September

A Shaftesbury woman has recruited an artist from Donhead and a local fitness instructor to encourage bookings for her holiday home in the Pyrenees. Saskia Cosgrove and her husband Dan bought a rural retreat in the French foothills for their four boys to learn a second language. As a teenager, Saskia spent time with a Belgian family and became fluent in French. The couple lived in the Pyrenees from 2018 to 2019 and stayed on for lockdown. Saskia lives on Foyle Hill and has now turned the French house into a holiday accommodation business.

To encourage bookings, she is arranging activity holidays with local tutors. She has enlisted artist Lynda Appleby and fitness instructor Rachel Carter of For Fitness Sake, one of the Shaftesbury Wellness team. Rachel is excited about the opportunity to teach abroad for the first time. In our Alfred interview, she looks forward to motivating people to move their bodies in a beautiful environment.

Lynda has taught art classes abroad and is passionate about providing the best experience for her students.
The Pyrenees retreat will feature stunning scenery for art classes, including a mediaeval village called Castelnou. Saskia tells Alfred that she hopes to retire there. But her children are still at Abbey Primary and Shaftesbury School, so it'll be a while.

Article Translation
Journey to the sumptuous Domain du Mas d’en Llinas, a unique place located in one of the most beautiful villages in France, available to rent.

To describe the Domaine du Mas d’en Llinas, we must first go back in time. In the 1970s, Daniel Pujols, an international antique dealer who had close and privileged ties with the Shah of Iran, bought this former Catalan bergerie (farm building). He then embarked on the construction of the Mas (ex Mas d'en Pujols), financed by his companion, the Marquis de Langle and descendant of Marie-Antoinette. Mr. Pujols drew the plans himself and had all the wrought ironwork for the house manufactured in Italy. The marble, of many different colours, comes from the region and from all over the world

In this place, they organised sumptuous parties where all the artistic and political jet-set, the gay community or even the big executives and personalities of the time rub shoulders. In 1992, for an unpaid debt of VAT, the Mas was seized by the tax authorities, for a pittance. Sold by auction, Mr. Pujols then locked himself in the Mas, preventing the lucky buyer from taking possession of it. It was in 1993 that the GIGN dislodged the antique dealer, who had holed himself up for six months in the Domaine's water tanks... Despite the many potential buyers, the Mas was abandoned for several years. In 1999, the politico-judicial case of Mas d'en Llinas made the headlines throughout the media. It involves in particular the Keeper of the Seals and the Prefect of the time, indicted for influence peddling and taking of illegal interests.

And it was five years ago that Saskia and Dan, along with Malcolm (Saskia's brother) and his partner Murielle, fell in love with the place. They chose to restore it to its former glory and undertake major renovations. Saskia, designer and Dan, builder, had only one wish: to perpetuate its heritage.

To provide a guided tour of this exceptional Mas, The Domaine du Mas d'en Llinas has first and foremost, breathtaking views. Nestled in the foothills of the Pyrenees, in the Massif des Aspres, it offers a breathtaking view of Mount Canigou, the Albères and the Mediterranean Sea. The Mas, all in cut stone, has a large swimming pool (16 x 8 m) with a view, surrounded by 12 hectares of green spaces and a 3.5 hectare olive grove, which is gradually being rehabilitated. A large lawn even allows arrival by helicopter!

Inside, with 10 spacious bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, a large living room with the original bergerie fireplace, other living rooms, intimate terraces dotted throughout and 4 kitchens, it can accommodate up to 24 people. For the decoration, Saskia looked to preserve the atmosphere of the Mas, while bringing it into the 21st century. The designer enhanced elements such as the original marble and ironwork. In her quest for authenticity, she favoured materials such as limewash paint or tiles from Spain and introduced a subtle mix of modern furniture and antiques. An environment conducive to retreat and well-being.

The place can be rented for many occasions such as weddings, corporate events, reunions with family and friends as well as for filming of all kinds. In 2004, the singer Cali moved to the Mas to record his album and shoot his clip. It is also the ideal place for many activities and the discovery of the surrounding vineyards, yoga, art and well-being retreats.

Indeed, staying there means getting away from the outside world and living a few days in harmony with nature. In the meantime, the Domaine du Mas d'en Llinas is just waiting for you to revive its splendour of yesteryear!
