Reviews For Serralongue Holiday house - Property 74369

Spacious, comfortable, spotlessly clean - we can wholeheartedly recommend this holiday house. Everything is provided, including beach and bath towels and a much appreciated welcome pack on arrival. Fantastic views from the balcony of the nearby mountains, spectacular in the ever-changing evening light. We could not believe how quickly the time went - there was so much to do. A walk through the woods leading from the village leads to a pool in the river, where you can swim. If you like cycling there are some beautiful roads, though some quite steep climbs. Spain is very close with some interesting, pretty Spanish villages. Lots of opportunities for walking - both low-level, woodlands and mountains. The Mediterranean is only just over an hour away with a choice of sandy beaches or rocky coves for snorkelling. We missed the fete in Serralongue, which took place after we left, but went to the fete in nearby Lamanere, which was fantastic - with a meal and dancing in the square, followed by an espadrille throwing competition (our nearest equivalent is welly-wanging). In Lamanere we can also highly recommend the crepes in the cafe and the local family-style restaurant, which does superb food. <br/>Whether you like visiting places, soaking up the French atmosphere or whether you enjoy the outdoors - this is an ideal place to stay

Van 23 augustus t/m 5 september2009 heb ik, met mij n dochter en schoonzoon, een vakantie doorgebracht in Serralongue. <br/> <br/>Dit kleine maar mooie en gezellige dorp ligt in de Midi-Pyreneeën. Vanaf de doorgaande weg zijn er 2 mogelijkheden om dit dorp te bereiken en wel via kronkelige maar goed berijdbare asfaltwegen. <br/> <br/>De woning, die we huurden van de fam Parkinson, is in één woord af”. Voor 3 personen is er ruimte te over. Grote eetkamer met open keuken, zitkamer, boven 3 slaapkamers en beneden nog een ruimte waar geslapen kan worden. Verder 3 badkamers, 2 toiletten en een garage. Alles wat men tijdens de vakantie nodig heeft, is in de woning aanwezig. <br/>Het uitzicht vanuit de eet- en zitkamer op de Pyreneeën is fantastisch. Het is een plek om te genieten en tot rust te komen. <br/> <br/>De zon scheen iedere dag uitbundig en de temperatuur bedroeg gemiddeld 30 graden. <br/> <br/>Tijdens de vakantie is Café/bar/restaurant de la poste gesloten. We betreurden dit omdat we hebben geconstateerd dat de keuken aan onze wensen voldeed. <br/> <br/>De eigenaar vertelde dat hij met zijn vrouw en dochtertje met de camper de “wijde wereld” ging verkennen. Hij adviseerde eens te gaan eten in Prats de Mollo (ca. 20 minuten rijden met de auto) in restaurant “la Portella”. Dit advies hebben we opgevolgd waardoor we een ervaring rijker zijn geworden. Voor het eten (entree inclusief) worden de borden door de eigenaar van het restaurant beschilderd en daarna van “het bestelde”voorzien. Hetgeen geserveerd wordt is van een prima kwaliteit. De keuze werd gemaakt middels een enorm groot menu. <br/> <br/>Andorra, het mini-staatje, hebben we eveneens bezocht. De moeite waard. Heen via Spanje en terug via Frankrijk. De prijzen van benzine, diesel, drank e.d. zijn, naar onze begrippen, extreem laag. Hetzelfde geldt voor een maaltijd. <br/>Een vakantie in Serralongue kunnen we van harte aanbevelen en een verblijf in de woning van de heer en mevrouw Parkinson is een absolute aanrader. <br/> <br/>We hebben een vakantie gehad waar we vaak aan terug zullen denken.

Came here with great intentions of doing some walking but it was so hot we've settled for admiring the mountains from the balcony! And what a wonderful view - sunsets highly recommended. We have countless photos of the sunsets over the hills as they were always different. <br/> <br/>We did get quite close to Canigou when we climbed up to Abbaye St Martin - worth every step! <br/> <br/>Other places we got to were Carcassonne - superb; Val de Nuria - second time for us but still breathtaking; Port-Vendres - got parked there whereas Collioure was jam-packed every time we tried. <br/> <br/>The drive up to Col d'Ares is spectacular - as are the views from the top and the bell-ringing cows - switch off the engine and just listen! <br/> <br/>And after every trip it was great to come back to this home-from-home, sip a glass (or two!) of wine and just relax. <br/> <br/>We had a lovely time and would recommend the house to anyone.

We were two middle-aged couples on a two week spring holiday - our choice of this great house in Serralongue could not be bettered! <br/> <br/>Facilities in the house were excellent; the village itself was beautiful and the scenery is truly magnificent. <br/> <br/>Nearby Prats de Mollo, a walled town, had plenty of restaurants and bars, with a very interesting church and a castle overlooking the town. <br/>Spain is only about 30 minutes away, and the Falgos golf club (we don't play but you can have coffee or a meal without playing) offers unbelievable views. <br/> <br/>Walks are everywhere round Serralongue, and despite mediocre weather (apparently the rain was desperately needed here) we had a superb holiday and our two weeks flew by. <br/> <br/>We would recommend this lovely house to anyone - the view from the upstairs sitting room as we wound down in the evening with a glass of wine would be enough by itself to make this holiday one of the best we have had.

Just returned from a lovely holiday in Serralongue. The house is just as described and felt very 'homely'. There was everything needed and the beach towels and bathrobes provided saved suitcase space! Spectacular scenery is all around and there is some fabulous walking from the doorstep. The village has a friendly bar/ cafe. It serves good food at a reasonable cost. There was enough information in the house, and also contact numbers for the owners if needed. The beach is an hour away - certainly worth the visit! I would recommend this house to anyone without reservation.

This property provided a very welcoming atmosphere as soon as you walked in the door. It was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Its situation is beautiful, an ideal place for exploring this area of France. Within easy reach of the sea, a variety of activities can be pursued. We had a wonderful time.

We had a lovely time at the house which was extremely comfortable and a good size. Beautiful views can be seen from the upstairs balcony - all the way across the Pyrenees. The village is small and delightful and there are a number of stunning walks which can be done from the house. Our hosts were very helpful leaving lots of hints and tips and ideas to make the holiday even more enjoyable.

July 2007 - 'Lovely comfortable house with every amenity... Hope to visit again before long'. July 2007 - 'Lovely, comfortable house... Serralongue provides a great base to explore this end of the Pyrenees'. September 2007 - 'Beautiful surroundings; ideal place for those looking for peace.'
