This was our third stay at Villa Darby and once more we found the spacious and stylish interior perfect for our party of 7 adults and a baby.The safe and private exterior space is perfect for barbecue evenings.We had a great week.
Fabulous weeks holiday in Collioure with the family. Not our first time to Collioure but had not stayed at villa Darby or this part of the town previously. Villa had plenty of space to accommodate all 7 of us. The views were magnificent from all terraces. We ate at the villa 4 out of the 7 nights and found the BBQ easy to use and all cooking equipment was readily available. In the daytime we spent time either relaxing around the pool or walked into Collioure and enjoyed the beaches. Easy walk down but a bit of an effort coming back up especially for my pregnant daughter in law (they used David's Taxi company to get back up the hill) The only challenging part of this holiday was the extreme heat as we arrived at the same time as a heatwave with temperatures approaching 40 C! The nighttime temperatures made sleeping a bit tricky even with all the fans provided at the villa.Thankyou Keith for sharing villa Darby: loved it
An ideal, beautiful property for a family with adult children! Merci beaucoup!
Lovely stay at Villa Darby - quiet location, loads of fun entertainments in the property! Loved playing table tennis, all the books and games - brilliant for keeping a family with adult children entertained. The kitchen was very well equipped and easy to use. The view from Villa Darby was incredible, the photos really donât do it justice. Keithâs communication made the stay very easy, especially putting our nerves at ease as we were new to VRBO.
We LOVED Collioure, it had more than enough to do for a week, incredible food, lovely beaches, great hikes and very pretty. Each morning we ate breakfast on the local beach which was delightful. The markets shouldnât be missed either! In particular we loved dinner at Casa Leon and Le Vauban - would highly recommend both.
Overall, a truly lovely holiday - we would love to return to Collioure again, there is so much still to do! One small thing to note may be that the property has quite a steep hill up to it - this didnât bother us at all but can be a little unpleasant in the middle of the day. Something to note if you have mobility issues or young children.
The house was beautiful and very well kept, with a well-equipped kitchen. The wifi was very weak, but I believe that is a Collioure-wide problem, and the host was very speedy with suggestions to get it going when it lapsed.
Villa Darby was a very comfortable house, with lots to entertain us with use of pool, table tennis, and a pool table.
We enjoyed all the areas we could relax in, but mostly the fantastic views from the villa.
Nearby Collioure has much to offer too
Keith was always very helpful, answering queries promptly.
Thank you!
Thank you to share your house Keith ! Everything is perfect !
Merci de partager votre villa Keith!
Tout est parfait, tout est compris, draps serviettes lessives etc...
See you next year !
We hebben enorm genoten. Wat een geweldig huis en super uitgerust. Alles was er! De verschillende terrassen en zitjes zijn heerlijk. De fotoâs op de website doen het huis geen recht. Het is gezellig, modern en ruim. Een absolute aanrader!
We travelled two families (8 total) wirh kids aged 5, 5, 8 and 8. The house was brilliant, with everything we needed. Great pool area for our kids, and plus that it was easy to lock when not in use. Fantastic view and surroundings with beautiful town Collioure a short drive away (or walk for adults). Highly recommended!
Having stayed in villas across France for many years, we have no hesitation in saying this is one of the the best we have ever stayed in .
Setting aside how beautiful Collioure itself is for now, the villa itself is beautifully decorated, immaculately clean and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a holiday.
The kitchen is especially good for a holiday rental with every you could possibly need to enjoy cooking with the beautiful fresh produce can buy in the local area.
The several terraces all provide sun / shade at different times of the day and the upper terrace with the pool and covered seating area was very well used given the temperature was pushing 39C during our stay .
Collioure itself is a beautiful maritime town with a huge array of restaurants, serving an amazing array of seafood with a French / Catalan mix.
Canât recommend Villa Derby enough, in fact we loved ti so much we will be going back again next year

Fabulous vacation home in a fabulous village
We have rented several places in Collioure over the past decade and this was by far the best, inside and out. The kitchen was well equipped and there was lovely library. The beds were very comfortable, and there were plenty of towels and homey touches. There are three exquisite outside spaces that are beautifully maintained, including a ping pong table, which we loved.
The owner responded promptly and was super helpful and nice. The experience was perfect in every way.
