The flat is in a peaceful location perched on an unspoilt hillside above the port. There are panoramic views of Port-Vendres, the port and the foothills of the Pyrenees. If you follow the path over the hillside you are standing above the Mediterranean, with the coastline stretching into the distance.

Guest comments
‘A lovely apartment. Quite a climb but really worth it. Port-Vendres seems a real place, full of bustle, with something new to see every minute and gorgeous views, and with none of the pretentious of Collioure’
‘A room with a view and forever changing. A steep but charming walk up here with cats and kittens everywhere. The fish market has the freshest fish we've ever seen. It is great to have oysters and champagne at the oyster bar there!’
House swap
Interested in exhanging against somewhere close to ski slopes during the French school holidays (Christmas or February).
