Lovely house, quiet village and Impressive views.

The house is lovely and ideal for a family retreat. The roads and parking from the house are really restricted due to the narrow streets however this did not cause a problem. The house was well equipped with all the necessities that you would expect from home. The local beach/ supermarket and lake are all within a ten to twenty minute drive. We really enjoyed the lake as it has a restaurant and plenty of activities to keep our two teenage boys happy. Unfortunately there was a problem with internet and satellite TV during our stay (it was not working). This did cause some stress as you can imagine with two teenage boys but we dug deep into our pockets and paid for extra data and used our own wifi. Kevin the owner kept is up to date with information regarding the engineer. We did contact the local manager but did not get any response. I have recently been working In Intensive care during the Covid epidemic and was really looking forward to a rest. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this property. We were just unlucky. Thanks Kevin for your refund due to the issues. A lovely house with Impressive views and a friendly and knowledgeable owner.

Family holiday

We loved the property- authentic and charming but modernised very effectively. Glad our cars weren’t big as the lanes and parking required some skill! Kevin was a great host so thanks to him. All the local towns were stunning - -great beaches and we loved our day at the lake. Very sad to leave such a stunning place.

Great location if you want don't like it too touristy.

We really enjoyed our 2 weeks in this spacious, well equiped, quirky village house. All our meals where eaten on the terrace with it's wonderful far reaching views. So much to see and do - charming towns and villages to explore and a beautiful beach at Argeles-sur-Mer. Kevin was very helpful.

Beautiful House in beautiful setting

This is a very nice house in a lovely mountain village near the coast. It sits in the old heart of the mountain village of Montesquieu Des Alberes and retains it's old charm whilst provide modern facilities inside. The service we received from the owner was excellent, the property is well maintained, stocked and clean and the descriptions given are accurate. It's large terrace with superb views allows you to relax and eat outdoors, or stay in the cool of the house when it is too hot out. The beaches of the Pyrenees Orientale's coast are 15 minutes away by car, as well as many other places of interest if you so wish. There are plenty of walks in the surrounding hills right on your doorstep, as well as being a popular location for cyclists. The lake at St. Jean pla de Corts, 15 minutes away, is great for families, with high ropes courses, pedalos, kayaks and swimming etc. Barcelona is within easy reach and if flying, worth considering as an arrival destination.
