Comments from Owner Guestbook

We had a great time here. The owners were very helpful with lots of local knowledge. The pool was great, lovely and clean and a great size, we could have breakfast/lunch/dinner on the terrace and keep an eye on our daughter in the pool. The appartment was very clean with everything you need, even a hairdryer in case you forget yours. We have had the perfect holiday, thanks to the owners Allan & Judy who helped us out when we missed our flight! We will return.

How hard it is to summerise this villa in just words alone.

Until you have stayed there you cannot truly appreciate the high standard of the gite, helpful, friendly nature of the owners living in the adjoining accommodation, and the beauty and tranquility of the setting.

Having stayed in Villelongue dels Monts for several years in a well equipped alternative villa I doubted this apartment could live up to my expectations.

But the clean, modern rooms, tastefully furnished, with all their mod cons could not fail to impress, and the immaculate grounds, laid to patio and planting - the latter a passion of the owners - left us wanting for nothing.

My two children, Amelie, 6, and Tiger, 3, are not the quietest in the world, but Judy and Allan - grandparents themselves - assured me they found the kiddie's chatter and raucous laughter utterly charming. What better way to convince a mother of two to kick back and relax on holiday!

On arrival Judy had even provided some basics - milk, bread, butter - and some none essentials - wine and a cold beer! - to make our evening arrival all the more comfortable.

The villa's location should suit anyone. Fab pizza, a bakers and a small shop a five minute walk away; the beach and great tourist villages - Collioure and Argeles - a 25-minute drive; the Spanish border, with easy access to seaside towns Roses (50 mins), Estertit (80 mins) and Barcelona (1hr 30mins) just 25 mins away.

If you want a chat, Judy and Allan are happy to oblige if they see you. If you prefer privacy they are noticeable by their absence. What more could a family want?

We loved our stay and would definitely return. Thank you.

We spent 5 weeks in the winter time with Judy and Allan and were so captivated by the area we bought a house. The appartment is first class. Very well equipped to a high standard. Lovely and warm for the winter months, thanks to underfloor heating. Situated in a quiet location in a charming village, half-way between sea and mountains. Ideal for beach holidays, mountain walking, cycling, sailing and touring the wine region. A fascinating selection of tourist attractions - chateaux, monuments, arts/crafts,lively towns & gourmet restaurants all within easy reach. Judy and Allan are the perfect hosts and have a wealth of knowledge to share. Highly recommended!

Nous avons passé une excellent séjour dans le gîte de Alan et Judy Sanders. Et on va sûrement retourner en été.

Le gîte est bien equippé, neuf et très propre.
il est bien situé dans la village de Villelongue dels Monts.
Ce n'est pas tres loin de la plage (environ 15 min en voiture) et entouré par les montagnes (Les Alberes).
La maison dispose d'une belle piscine et une terrace couvert pour manger.
C'est très jolie, et très calme, une endroit idéale pour se reposé et passé des belles vacances.
Alain et Judy sont super sympa !

Nous avons trouvé deux belles restaurants:
Restaurant Le Parc
1 Avenue Général de Gaulle
66190 Collioure

et
La Table de Cuisine
à St. André

Je recommende vivement ce gîte pour les gens qui aiment la mer et les montagnes.

Merci beaucoup pour une très belle séjour.

This was our third stay in as many years and we will be back again. The accomodation is finshed to a very high standard and beautifully clean. The pool is great and the village had everything we needed with lots of charm.
Allan and Judie are superb hosts and we can fully recomend the accomodation to others.
