Great Time in Port Vendres at the Garden Flat!

It took me a bit of time to write my review, too many things to do, but my memories of my last holiday at the garden apartment are still vivid and alive!
We had a great time!
I went there with my wife and three teenagers; everyone loved the house, lots of space, clean, colourful, comfortable, peaceful, practical, cosy, nice views to the sea and the mountain.
All our days started with a nice French breakfast in the kitchen or the garden. Every morning I went to the marina with my daughter to get some delicious baguettes and pain au cholocat ( Boulangerie La Paline, 50 meters on the right once you go down town by the stairs, 2 min from home) and of course my sport daily newspaper. There were some beautiful yacht to watch, and sometimes we could even get to view some fisherman unloading the fishes.
I am still missing the bread, the sun and the apartment, it was so nice.
Pretty much all our afternoon we went to the beach, almost a new one every day. There is a huge variety of beaches over there, sand, rocks, you have it all!
We loved the town of Collioure, a bit like St Tropez but without the fuss.
The evening were fantastic, they have great restaurant at Port Vendres. One of our favourite was Le café de France, the Tapas were amazing. Our waiter at the café de France was Jean Christophe, a great guy who will give you good recommendation for local and tasty food. The owner of the garden apartment is very well organised and give you a list with her own selection of many things to do, to eat and visit. Her recommendations are really good, experience counts there!
We sometimes had nice evening watching a DVD with the kids. We took a few from those available there, the kids loved it.
Well there is too much to say really. The place is great for a holiday, the sun is always around, and the view from the flat of the vineyard down the hills is amazing; the apartment was like our home, the owner Karla is a very kind lady making sure you spend a great time there. You should have a go and you will never regret it!
