Great Villa
Review Submitted: August 31, 2009
Date of Stay: August 2009
As other reviews we found the villa well equipped, clean and tidy, spacious with a lovely pool. The village was quiet but friendly and we enjoyed using the local bakery. The biggest supermarket Carrefour is just a 5 minute drive up the road and has everything (I promise you) that you could possible need!
5 out of 5 is perfection but being critical (possible over critical) the barking dogs day and night and the slightly forgotten garden just took the edge off for us hence the 4 out of 5 rating we have given this property.
Having said all that we did enjoy our relaxing week in Claira.

So good we've been three times so far.......

Just twenty minutes from Perpignon airport by car to Claira. On the doorstep there is a huge supermarket together with other outlets in which to spend your Euros. There are many small towns and villages within a short distance, these include Perpignon, Ceret and our particular favourite Coulliere. Should you wish to venture further, you have Carcassone, The Pyrenees, even Barcelona is not too far away.
The property is clean, tidy and there is ample room. The outside area is well maintained so you could just chill out by the pool if so desired.
There are bikes available for use if you wish to ditch the car. There are pleasant areas to cycle or walk in and around Claira.
The locals are friendly and would highly recommend this property for a long or short term stay.

Have stayed in this property 3 times, and each time it gets better. The property and location is perfect. Everything is close at hand, this includes Perpignan Airport being only 20 minutes drive to property, large supermarket only minutes away by car, plus other shopping outlets in the same vicinity. Easy access by car to a number of villages/towns, including Perpignan, Ceret, Pyrenees and our particular favourite, Collioure. If you are wanting to travel and explore further afield, there are many more towns ie Carcassone, Toulouse even Barcelona is not too far away.
The property is idyllic, plenty of room, clean and tidy, the outside area is well maintained and there is a lovely pool to chill out by.
There are bikes at your disposal and the surrounding area excellent to explore.
Highly recommend this property for either a short or long stay.

The two reviews say it all and we are in complete agreement. All was perfect even if the weather was a little sketchy in late October. We enjoyed this house and its spaciousness with our three boys. A great base to go sightseeing and enjoy the Mediterranean. Neighbors are so very friendly but the neighboring dogs can be tiresome. We've already recommended this property to a friend.
WE WISH WE COULD HAVE STAYED LONGER!

This is a home not just a house.The villa was the cleanest and most well equipped we've ever stayed in.The garden and pool were lovely both day and night and the interior of the villa was tastefully decorated.However its also the little things that matter,there were plenty towels,child friendly crockery,plenty of clean pans to use and a great washing line with plenty of pegs!
The village of Claira was quiet with fairly basic shops but whatever you couldnt buy there you could buy at shops within a 5-10 minute drive.
Claira is a great base to go exploring from and indeed there are so many things to see we would love to go back for another fortnight.The beaches in the area are within a short drive and we never had any problems parking even in the height of Summer.We understand that strong winds can sometimes be a bit of a problem in the area but when the weather is so hot it can be a bit of a relief to have a breeze.
We wouldn't usually like to visit the same place twice but for this lovely property we would make an exception!

Great house with comfortable furnishings. Well laid out garden with both lots of shade and sun. The pool was perfect and well maintained. Everything for a great holiday was provided including bicycles with very easy cycling round about. Also worth a mention - two large fridges to chill endless quantities of drinks for hot days.
There are lots of places within easy driving distance to visit including into Spain (Gerona day trip and Barcelona at a push).
Many good bistros in surrounding area. The only down side was that Claira itself had no place to eat out (although three take-away pizzerias) and so you would need to have a 'nominated driver' for the wine lovers out there, but this you can't blame on the house!
Neighbourhood dogs could be a bit noisy too if that kind of thing disturbs you.
