Modern, beach apartment with views of the Pyrenees
Twenty minutes from Perpignan, Canet-Sud is at the southern end of Canet Plage, a typical, vibrant, and relaxed holiday resort. Built in 2005. The apartment has 1 double bedroom, a shower room, separate toilet, open plan lounge, kitchen / dining area leading onto the balcony. It has uninterrupted views of the Pyrenees and direct access onto a huge beach. The building has its own private parking, gardens and a large pool for residents only . Situated as part of the complex belonging to the Spa Hotel Les Flamants Roses. This is a family friendly area which comes alive in summer as campers and holiday makers pour into Canet. If you are looking for an easy, fun, chilled holiday, safe for your children this is an ideal place. The apartment is great for couples or for parents with 2 children. I have filled it with lovely things including nice crockery, glass ware, linen and accessories. I regularly redecorate and keep everything looking smart. I have a Nespresso machine, TV, Apple TV, Alexa for music, air conditioning, washing machine. Hot water is always available. It is my little home which I love for others to enjoy too. There is loads to see and do in the area. Spain is only 30 miutes away and it is very feasible to take the train down to Barcelona for lunch (90 mins on the TGV). Perpignan is a great little city to explore and of course the Pyrenees are on the door step. And if you don't want to do any of that just hang out on the beach, hire bikes, take a boat trip to the beautiful Collioure. Canet is a very easy and fun holiday place.
Perfect place to stay by the beach in Canet en Roussillon
Apartment was great from start to finish. Lots of communication and help from the owner before and during our stay. Place is very secure with fob entry to the building and the pool area. Apartment is on first floor with a lift. Inside we found the layout really well suited to the four of us. Our two boys shared the sofa bed (which was very big and comfortable) and we had the main bedroom. Main room and bedroom were both air conditioned. We only needed it at night though. The terrace was great, faced the sunset which was great to watch over the mountains at night. Kitchen was also really well equipped. More like your own home than a holiday place. We cooked for ourselves for most of the holiday because of that (saved a bundle on eating out!)
The apartment is literally two minutes walk from the beach and there was plenty of places within walking distance. It was also about 50m from the first / last stop on the No3 bus route which took you all the way into Perpignan. Finally the pool was brilliant. It was open from 0900 to 2100 at night. Never seen that in France before! Loads of loungers and the pool itself and toilet was very clean.
Overall this was a brilliant place to base our family for the week.
Sehr netter Gastgeber, Strandlage, eigener Parkplatz
Der Gastgeber Andrew ist sehr nett, zuvorkommend und schickt jede Menge nĂŒtzliche Informationen und erkundigt sich auch wĂ€hrend des Aufenthalts, ob alles OK ist. TOP! Die Lage direkt am Strand, ohne eine StraĂe zuĂŒberqueren und mit dem eigenen, sauberen Pool (nur fĂŒr Anwohner, mit Gratis-Liegen, Dusche und Toilette) ist sehr schön, wobei die teils laute Musik und Animation bis ca. Mitternacht vom gegenĂŒber liegenden Campingplatz (hinter dem Haus, wohl nur Juli/Aug) uns auf dem Balkon schon gestört hat. Wem das nichts ausmacht und eh lange im Ort unterwegs ist, der findet ein schönes Apartment mit eigenem Parkplatz (Parken nur fĂŒr Anwohner) vor. Ein Fahrradkeller ist auch vorhanden.
Persönliche, liebevolle Ausstattung, lediglich die Sauberkeit lieĂ zu wĂŒnschen ĂŒbrig (Putzfrau Ewa hatte wohl einen sehr schlechten Tag und sollte daran arbeiten). Trotzdem alles zusammen noch 4 Sternchen!
I bought the place in 2005. It was quite an ambitious thing for me to do at 35 but I instantly fell in love with Canet and went about creating my own little holiday home in France. Since then I have made up any excuse to visit and I have never tired of simply chilling in my happy place. As you can see I have a canine best friend. Tommy just loves his trips to France.
I'm very busy at home in the UK spending most of my working week building gardens. I also have an old house which commands attention. I feel clever in France and free from stress. My apartment is compact and bijoux and has everything I need in a small space. The balcony takes no time to clean and instead of gardening I can sit and drink rose and look at the view.
I have never tired of the view. The pool in the residents garden is perfect and never too busy. The connection to the spa hotel is a huge benefit and the magnificent beach stretching for miles is a dream
