Great Vacation 10.sept - 2.oct 2008

Svein Norway
Review Submitted: October 10, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
The villa in Collioure provided a perfect location for our family vacation, 3 lovely weeks in one of the nicest places we've ever been to in France.
We have two kids, our daughter of 2,5 and a toddler son of 4months. With spacious bedrooms we had plenty of space and the spectacular view from the seaside terrace was perfect for the after-kids-bedtime dinners.
There is a beach just 40 meters from the house, but we frequently ended up walking into Colliure where there are nice beaches and playground park just perfect for our daughter.
Collioure is truly beautiful small village with nice restaurants and a fantastic athmosphere.
Both the owner and their local representative was very forthcoming and helpful, both sharing information prior to arrival and for any practical matters during the stay.
We warmly recommend this villa to any family or couple that is looking for a great stay in France.

October review

Limpy Cork, Ireland
Review Submitted: November 4, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
Excellent location and area. Great walks and scenery is superb.
House was ok. Smell in lower area made it virtually unusable during stormy period. Rest of house was fine. Linen supplied was damp and took hours to dry before we could use.
Owner's Response: With correct use of air circulation system, also cellar is free from humid smell. But during automn storms, it happens that we get some smell from pipes, but only at cellar level, not in the house.

some nice days in france

ruediger75 heidelberg, germany
Review Submitted: October 27, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
the house was very nice and there was almost nothing to complain expect the fact, that it took 2 days for me to get a hand to sheet over the housekeep, who wasn´t available and that in one of the rooms a matrace had mildew.

we had some nice days in this house in france and enjoyed the stay and the seaside a lot. i come for some years to that region and we rented different appartments, but i can say that this was the best i ever rented in collioure.

regards

Charming and convenient

Ragnhild Kristiansand, Norway
Review Submitted: October 10, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
We loved our vacation at this very charming villa, that is situated so close to the beach. The view from the terrace is exceptional, and you will enjoy eating or relaxing there, resting your eyes at the Mediterranean.

It is walking distance to the attractions of the beautiful Collioure. Port Vendres is also very convenient and charming, and the surroundings opens for numerous activities for both grown ups an kids.

When you do not want to spend time on the beach, the area is excellent for biking and jogging, or hiking in the nearby Pyrenees. Resturants in the area are good, and we also enjoyed tasting the local wine.

Our vacation was so successful that we all agreed this was a place we need to return to another time!

Oli - great location

Owen. Bournemouth
Review Submitted: October 6, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We had a lovely time at Oli. The sea was very close to the property so we could go swimming and snorkelling. It was also close to a Lidl which was very convenient and it was possible to walk to Collioure or Port Vendres. The basement was a little dank and we had to make our own arrangements with the agents for linen etc, however the location made up for that and we had a great time.

Excellent combination of sea and the hills

Tor Morten Stavanger, Norway
Review Submitted: October 6, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2007
We really enjoyed our stay in Coulliere. Right to the ocean, fantastic view, walk down to the beach, no disturbance from neighbors. And then the easy access to the hills for running and hiking. Small cosy villages in walking distances. I would recommend a rental car for sight-seeing, shopping and small trips.

A lovely place

Kjersti Paris
Review Submitted: May 13, 2008 Date of Stay: April 2008
We had a great week! We enjoyed the house, the great sea view, all the flowers around the house, swimming in the sea and of course Port Vendres and Collioure. The two towns are close by and it is easy to walk to either for shopping or dining. The only time we used the car was when we made a day trip to Figuera, Spain.

The flat was nice and spacious and we had all we needed. When it was windy we could easily find shelter one of the terraces and enjoy the sun. Also the nearby beach Plage L’Oli was quiet and pleasant and just two minutes away.

We – a family of five with three teenagers – all enjoyed our week in this house and we would certainly like to come back another time!

Perfect location

jimb Port Vendres
Review Submitted: January 8, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2007
This house is perfect for a summer let, with the interior remaining cool whilst outside it could be very hot. The terrace has a spectacular view along the coast, up toward Canet and Leucate.
There are two beaches just a couple of minutes walk from the house and rocks for clambering over.
The house is located on a private residence which means no through traffic and a very peaceful atmosphere. It is situated about 5 minutes walk from Port Vendres and about 20 minutes walk form Collioure.
We had a fantastic time in the house and enjoyed snorkelling around the rocks just below the property.

Review Submitted: December 6, 2007 Date of Stay: December 2007
'We passed the most memorable Easter in your house and this extremely charming area. Even in late March we could enjoy our meals on the panoramic terrace, following a swim in the sea below the house'. ' It was a real pleasure to pass our sabbatical month in your superb house. What a better way to start the day than walking along the mountainous vineyards towards one of the castles entouring Collioure and Port Vendres' 'Even in more than 35 degrees summer heat, we found your house an excellent place to be in July - both inside and outside. The wind from the sea is refreshing.'
'Night after night we just loved sitting at the terrace, enjoying the the remarkable calm and splendid view. We knew
Collioure was a perle, but we also found Port Vendres very charming and autentique.'
