Guest comments
'While sitting in the garden facing the sea we spotted dolphins, does it get any better than this?' John Ahearne.
'Walkers paradise.' Shauna from West Cork.
'We really enjoyed snorkeling in a nearby bay called Sainte Catherine, also from the house there is a designated walk down the hillside away from any traffic which leads onto the most beautiful sheltered little beach which gets the sun all day and late into the evening. Swimming in the area was really safe for our young children, they had so much freedom on the site itself and also in the surrounding areas, it was the best family holiday we have ever been on. The sea water was so clean and transparent, a real joy! The pressure is on to go back!
The Gannon family from Yorkshire.

About the owner
I am Irish and have lived in France for about 15 years. My partner is French and we have two little ones. We live all year round in the Pyrenees Orientales. I toured the world throughout my twenties but when I stumbled across Collioure and Port Vendres I knew instantly that I had found my new home. It is handy for our guests that we are close-by for any tips on the region or assistance that may be required during ones stay.
Year purchased: 2002
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We choose to live in this part of the world because of it's sheer beauty, mild year-round climate, fantastic people, top quality wine, superb Catalan cuisine, beautiful clean beaches... need I go on?! It is easy to access with several low cost airlines flying into Perpignan, Gerona and Carcassonne and now one can fly from Dublin to Perpignan direct with Aer Lingus! Hurray!
Unique benefits of the property
Our villa is ideal for those who love nature, walking, snorkeling, diving, golfing, sunbathing, cycling, fine wines and gourmet dining or simply swinging in the hammock admiring the sea view! The house is extremely private, the gardens are huge and yet you are just a short stroll from the town and the beaches.
