This has got to be one of the best locations in France for a family holiday. The apartment is 5 minutes walk from a superb beach and overlooks a beautiful lagoon, with the Pyrenees and Mt Canigou in the near distance. There is something for everyone to do in the close vicinity from the bustling port of St Cyprien to the famous abbey at Elne. Visits to nearby Collioure and Port Vendres are highly recommended whilst there is plenty of fun for all at Aqualand (walking distance), the adventure park at Argeles, go -karting and horse riding. Further afield, a visit to Dali's museum in Figueres, Spain is inspiring, as are the Cathar castles to the north west of Perpignan. The abbeys of St Michel's de Cuxa and St Martin's of the Canigou in the Tet valley are set against the backdrop of the Pyrenees and the whole area is vibrant with Catalan colour, culture and food. Visit the many local markets, especially Ceret on a Saturday morning and enjoy the many wine-tasting opportunities.
Clean accommodation with good beach location and swimming pool access.
Great location - 5 min walk to large unspoilt beach, quieter and less touristy than I was expecting for the Mediterranean coast. Shop selling most essentials, including fresh bread and croissant also a short walk. Eating out options within walking distance so no need to argue about who will drive! A longer walk (few km) along the lagoon to the port provides a busier French seaside town (more touristy) - you'll be able to find the classic seaside moules frites. Plenty of day trip options locally too. Apartment simply but adequately equipped - clean, well looked after, balcony with lagoon view provides outside eating space.
Apartment is very nice and clean, situation is perfect, close to the swimming pool and the beach.
Communication with the owner is fast, and she managed well any questions and requests.
Holidays there were great !
Fantastic apartment, everything You need and more and great veiws
The pictures for this apartment don't do it justice, very well equipt, very clean and tidy. Beautiful view of the lake, and a very short walk from a gorgeous sandy beach. A short walk from a shop which is also a bakery and sells cooked chicken and chips for the evening, and a little beach bar which I wouldn't recommend for food, undercooked meat and over priced, but lovely for a drink any time of day. A very safe resort, quiet and clean, we went with our 3 boys 10,8&5 and they can't wait to go back, very relaxing great weather
I am an avid francophile and love this area with its proud Catalan heritage. The mountains and the sea have always been a big pull for me and here we have the magnificent Canigou in the background and the gorgeous Mediterranean. I have hiked up the Canigou many times. You get a 4x4 taxi jeep which takes you up the the refuge, Cortalets. From there it is about 2/3 hours to the summit. Don't rush, take in the views. Collioure, Port Vendres, Banylus, Ceret, are favourite destinations and I really recommend the Dali Museum in Figueres, over the border. I love exploring the many beautiful abbeys in the region but if you were to ask my family, they would say 'get on that beach'!
This apartment is ideally suited for the beautiful beach and, with its superb views of the lagoon, the terrace is the perfect place to relax after a day out. It also works for a larger group as by booking together with Les Sables 2, which is located on the above floor, you have the possibility of two families holidaying together but maintaining some private family time.
