Lovely apartment

This is one of the best apartments we have ever stayed in. It is very well equipped with all the usual stuff, plus lots of DVDs,CDs, books, & magazines and beach stuff like parasols, chairs. balls, airbeds etc. Kitchen also very well equipped with no shortage of crockery, cutlery etc.
The apartment itself is in a lovely, quiet, good quality complex with a superb swimming pool area that rarely had more than about 10 people there. The best aspect for us was the big balcony where we ate every meal overlooking the gardens and looking out towards the mountains.
The apartment was very clean, everything was in good condition and the arrangements with the owner were smooth and efficient.
St Cyprien Plage has a long sandy beach, but not too much else, and there are loads more like it nearby-at Argeles and Canet for instance. In our view you need a car because there isn't much you can reach on foot apart from the beach, Aqualand which is next door, and a few small shops.
We particularly liked Collioure for character and also liked Roses over the border in Spain. Carcassonne was worth the trip and we could have reached Barcelona fairly easily. I wouldn't say the area was too good for 'places of interest' (although we didn't go into the nearby mountains which might have been different) but for relaxing, beaches,sun and mooching around touristy shops and markets it was hard to beat.
Apartment is strongly recommended.
