Fabulous stay

The house is clean, spacious and well equipped, set on a really quiet road with hardly any passing traffic so very peaceful. The views are breath taking and can be seen from nearly all the rooms of the house. We loved the local village which is a 15 minute leisurely walk down the hill. There is a bakery, bank, newsagent, small supermarket with a fresh butchery stall, bars , restaurants and take away pizza bar. Perfect location to tour both the french coast and also the Costa Brava. We were in Cerbere attending a party with friends but will definitely look to return.

Ideal base for exploring Southern France and Northern Spain

The Villa is situated on a hill with views over the Mediterranean. It is well equipped with all that you may need for a perfect holiday. Everything was clean and in working order. After a day out sight seeing it was lovely to take a dip in the pool. We will definateley be returning at some point.

A little piece of Paradise

The views and the location were what attracted us when looking to book a holiday in this area. We wanted somewhere just off the beaten track. The Villa is situated in a lovely quiet area with other villas, it was just what we wanted. We really enjoyed a very lazy time, making the most of the Villa and pool, and having the hire car meant we could explore the surrounding area. The Villa was very spacious, well equipped and clean. It was our little paradise for a week. Looking to book another holiday there next year.

Breath Taking

Business & Pleasure. We stayed in this beautiful Villa that over looks the Mediterranean Sea. The views were spectacular and so very calming. The area is wonderful with lots of places and small towns and villages to explore. A car is recommended. This villa would be suitable for both couples and families and it’s fully equipped with everything you need. Thank you for the wonderful experience @ Villa Ambience! I hope you go back. Owners great to work with, property well kept!

Perfectly placed home from home

We had such a wonderful stay in the villa, it really has all the home comforts you could ever want as well as views that you could never tire of. The outside spaces are ideal for relaxing and the heated pool is a real treat! The nearby towns are excellent with some great restaurants and bars. We loved staying here and hope to come back soon!

About the host

Hosted by Margaret Griffiths

We live in Dunstable, Bedfordshire where we have lived for some 45 years! We always holidayed with a touring caravan in Europe when our three children were young and came to love France having toured all over. Having watched the TV programme 'French Leave' where Jean Bertrand Race brought his family to spend a year in the Languedoc region of France we decided to explore the possibility of buying a holiday home. We were amazed at the choice but were completely blown away when the agent showed us a plot of land overlooking the Mediterranean. The views were spectacular and we agreed to buy it there and then! It took 18 months to have all the plans and permissions approved. We worked with a local French architect to design the house to optimise the views and it took a further 18 months to complete the build which was finished in March 2008. We absolutely love it!! and are delighted that our family and friends do too.

Why they chose this property

The house has amazing views - pretty much 180 degrees of sea views but it is set in such a peaceful location at the top of the hill overlooking the sea. We love to sit on the terraces and watch the boats passing - fishing boats, diving school parties, liners and cruise ships, sailing boats. We can see as far as Narbonne to one side and Cap de Creus in the other direction. The house is spacious and airy and is designed with the bedrooms downstairs and the upstairs one huge room which we find great for families and parties. From the pool you can look directly out to sea. Cerbere is a beautiful traditional uncommercialised French fishing village with a few shops, banks, bakery, restaurants and bars. The recently rebuilt pontoon is very picturesque in the harbour with tiny boats bobbing around in the sparkling waters

What makes this property unique

We love the ease of visiting both Spain and France with all the lovely resorts along the Costa Brava perfect for a day visit - Portbou, Calella, Llanca, Estarit, Palomas, Cadaques, Roses, Empuriabrava, Lloret de Mar and Tossa de Mar.

You can also enjoy all the French resorts along the coast Banyuls with its numerous restaurants and bars, Portes Vendres with its busy harbour, Collioure - without a doubt spectacular, Argeles sur Mer for its lively shops and activities and vast sandy beach and beautiful port. The local transport, both bus and train are very reliable and reasonable so you don't have to take the car if you don't want to.

The local walking is amazing with coastal paths going from the village right the way through to Argeles sur Mer in one direction and from Cerbere through Portbou and onwards in the other direction. To the rear of the property is a beautiful vineyard walk through the mountains behind the villa.

For keen cyclists the routes are undoubtedly challenging with the Trans Pyrennean Route from Biarritz ending in Cerbere! There are always lots of enthusiastic cyclists in the area.

There are two diving schools in the village for people of all capabilities and the entire coast line is a national heritage reserve so the diving is spectacular.
