The property is on the top floor of a three apartment building, However because of its hillside location you get the best level for sunshine plus street level access - the front door has about ten steps up from the pavement.
Outside
The terrace is full with pots of plants, the floor is covered with fake lawn. It is big enough and quiet. There's a barbecue, a table with three chairs, and a parasol. The view is wonderful, on the hills in the distance and the fort- st - elme, and below, there are gardens.
Coast/Beach
In Collioure itself you have a choice of beaches - pebbled or sandy - of which the main ones have safe swimming zones and lifeguards in season. The beaches stretch from the town for a total of 15km. Many are never crowded and there is an abundance of parking in most places. 20 mins away is an inland lake at Villeneuve de la Raho, again with lifeguards and safety zone, where younger children will have a whale of a time!
Skiing
Font romeu ski resort at 2 hrs and a half, by car.
Travel
If you are planning to travel by car you have an 11-13 hour drive depending on port and route. Leave room in the car for your shopping! The Spanish border is just a 40 minute drive away offering low, low prices on alcohol, tobacco and almost anything else! By plane (drive times in brackets) including Perpignan (40 mins), Gerona (75 mins), Carcassonne (90 mins), Toulouse (2h 30 mins), Nimes (2hrs), Montpellier (2hrs), and Barcelona (2h 30 mins). A car is not vital once you are here.

Within 2 hours drive you have: St Cyprien Plage (20mins) – a large, modern marina and port with stunning mainly empty beaches and loads of parking; Gerona (60mins) a bustling but ancient Spanish city; Carcassone’s (90mins) castellated splendour; Barcelona (150 mins) Spain’s second city; Andorra & The Pyrenees (130 mins). Once home to Picasso, Ceret is also well worth a visit (30 mins). Local buses and trains are available from the town centre.

My guests say that they feel "at home" and that the place is wide and very comfortable and convenient. Also, they like the idea of being not in the deep center of Collioure because they appreciate the quietness of the place ! And collioure in the summer is crowded and noisy.
