Port Vendres, adjacent to Collioure, is a natural deep water harbour 1st used by the Greeks in 8BC, & remains a major import point for fruit: you will see freighters from around the world in the harbour. If you like seafood you have arrived in heaven because Port Vendres has a large fishing fleet. The famous fish market has a great degustation bar with every type of shellfish, including oysters and white wine. Restaurants in Port Vendres are wonderful. A stroll along the quay will take you past fishing boats, usually a freighter, often a cruise ship, the ferry, and the yacht harbour. There are excellent beaches close by & down the coast you pass Pauliles with its superb beach, Banyuls, and into Spain to enjoy the Costa Brava. Cadaques has the home of Salvador Dali. Here the Pyrenees reach down to the sea, the walking is good, either through vine covered hillsides or in the high mountains. Local wines are excellent as are 240 sunny days/yr.

Local activities walking, mountaineering, swimming, surfing, sailing, fishing, wind-surfing, golf, cycling, horse riding, water skiing, diving, mountain biking, tennis

The steps are steep which makes push chair access difficult. The Catalan garden has lawns on some terraces, fruit trees (cherry, fig, plum, apricot, mulberry, pear, apple, grapes, lemons, olives), bushes, flowers, rock garden. There is also a covered patio (9 sq m) adjacent to main entrance to the apartment for shoes/beach/fishing items etc. Internally, the staircase to the bedrooms is wooden and partly spiral. Toddlers and young children will need supervision in the garden & apartment. We have a large selection of novels for your enjoyment, plus DVDs, children's toys, beach accessories & ample fresh fruit to pick!

Small Footprint on the Planet?

Don't want to fly? Take a train! For approx £110 roundtrip you can pick up a train in London at about 8:15am, change once at Lille at lunchtime, and arrive in Perpignan by about 7pm. Then you take a final 20 minute train trip down the coast from Perpignan to Port Vendres. While in Port Vendres you can take the local buses up and down the coast. Alternatively you can take your car on one of the ferries and drive down. My brother does the Callais to Port Vendres trip in 11 1/2 hrs, or if he takes overnight ferry from Portsmouth to St Malo its 8-9 hrs. I tend to take a leisurely 2-3 days, enjoying the scenery on the backroads. JUNE 2008 REVIEW :'Just wanted to let you know we had a fantastic holiday in Port Vendres and we all loved your house. My elder son, Alex (aged 4) loved all the bits and pieces in the house and the boats in the harbour. Thanks also for all the info on the local area. It was great to have some insider knowledge.' TS, London

Guest Book from June 2007

(1) Charles O. from Norfolk: 'We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. Although we like being near the sea, we're not particularly after beaches so your lovely garden was an absolute bonus. We spent two or three days just enjoying the sun, the shade and the view without going out at all. We were delighted with Port Vendres and very pleased we were there rather than the neighboring costal villages. PV has the right scale and is a busy working community that we found appealing. Evelyne (housekeeper) certainly is a treasure and full of information. She was very tolerant of our version of French and it was good to talk at some length. Evelyne, the wine and flowers that we found on arrival, and your written information all made us feel most welcome.' (June 2007). (2) Eleanor H, from Germany, June 2007:'We had a wonderful time in Port Vendres, we found it had a very real air about it. The apartment was great. There was everything we needed. Fabulous!'(June 2007).

We cannot be held responsible for accidents, injuries or losses incurred during your stay. You should make your own arrangements for holiday insurance. GUEST QUOTES: Judith Squires & family, August 2006: 'Just a note to let you know that we had a wonderful time at the apartment - we really didn't want to leave and we all want a return visit! We didn't even take the car anywhere for the first 4 days - just explored the local bays and beaches during the day and pottered around watering the garden in the evenings, cooking fabulous fresh fish on the barbeque and sipping great wines - bliss! The local people were all very friendly and helpful and the boys felt confident enough to go out by themselves and practice their French. The apartment is fabulously well equipped and you've obviously put a lot of thought into it. It really felt like being a welcome guest in someone's home. In short it was a fabulous holiday and can't fault it at all! Can't wait for the next visit.'
