About this house rental
The house is a traditional ‘maison de village’ situated in the centre of a pretty village. It has 3 double bedrooms and a large terrace with panoramic views - Mount Canigou to the left and the Mediterranean sea to the right.
The beach at Argelès-sur-Mer is 15 minutes by car and the heart of the mountains a 30 minute drive away. The border with Spain is 10 minutes by car with Barcelona a leisurely 2 hour drive south. There is an abundance of activities in the area all year round for both the young and old and the picturesque fishing village of Collioure is well worth a visit, as is Cèret with its famous art museum and the beach and marina at Argelès-sur-Mer.
Generally speaking, the area enjoys long, hot summers and relatively short, cold winters with warm springs and autumns. It is officially proclaimed to have more than 300 days of sunshine. The area is ideal for families, walkers, beach enthusiasts, arts lovers and people who love great weather, food and wine!
The village has a small food market once a week, local wine producer and communal sports amenities (tennis court, football/basketball court and playground). The local supermarket is located 10 mins away by car in Laroque des Albères.
The house has been completely refurbished with electric heating and fully equipped kitchen. Facilities include the terrace with outside eating area and loungers, barbecue, satellite television, DVD player, CD player, WiFi, washing machine and dishwasher.
The house is professionally checked and cleaned before your stay and our local manager is available to provide help with any issues.

The house is lovely and ideal for a family retreat. The roads and parking from the house are really restricted due to the narrow streets however this did not cause a problem.
The house was well equipped with all the necessities that you would expect from home. The local beach/ supermarket and lake are all within a ten to twenty minute drive. We really enjoyed the lake as it has a restaurant and plenty of activities to keep our two teenage boys happy.
Unfortunately there was a problem with internet and satellite TV during our stay (it was not working). This did cause some stress as you can imagine with two teenage boys but we dug deep into our pockets and paid for extra data and used our own wifi.
Kevin the owner kept is up to date with information regarding the engineer. We did contact the local manager but did not get any response.
I have recently been working In Intensive care during the Covid epidemic and was really looking forward to a rest.
We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this property. We were just unlucky.
Thanks Kevin for your refund due to the issues. A lovely house with Impressive views and a friendly and knowledgeable owner.

We loved the property- authentic and charming but modernised very effectively. Glad our cars weren’t big as the lanes and parking required some skill! Kevin was a great host so thanks to him.
All the local towns were stunning - -great beaches and we loved our day at the lake. Very sad to leave such a stunning place.

A spacious well decorated House with very good beds (important!) and a lovely view from the terrace. Well equipped kitchen. The fans work well and are a gift in the warm summer.

We really enjoyed our 2 weeks in this spacious, well equiped, quirky village house. All our meals where eaten on the terrace with it's wonderful far reaching views. So much to see and do - charming towns and villages to explore and a beautiful beach at Argeles-sur-Mer.
Kevin was very helpful.
