Guest comments
Mr and Mrs Falmer (July 2011)
We've had a great holiday, thank you!! Villa is lovely, comfortable and very well equipped. Kids loved the toys, books and games, a blessing given Ryanair baggage restrictions! Loved all the restaurants but Cave D'agnes is a must. We ate gorgeous food with barn doors open looking out onto the church.
Lots of things to see and do, in particular Collioure, Carcassonne and Narbonne. Kids loved the safari park and the quiet sandy beaches. Went up the Pyrenees on the little yellow train which was amazing (to be avoided if you don't like heights or sheer drops). Will definitely be back!!
The Stamner kite-surfing group: (May 2011)
Great villa, great location, great water sports, great weather, ate fab food, drank too much fitou wine (too cheap)...want to stay for longer :-)
