  Its all about location

  Left on 10/15/2010 for a stay in September 2010
  
  

  If you like walking then this is ideal. You have Carlit, Canigou and many other areas to walk. I don't ski but the area has lots of ski centres near by. If you like shopping the Perpignan is great. The accomodation is ideal for all aspects of discovering this beautiful area of France.
  
  Great holiday. I'm planning to return in 2011 and I will stay here.

  A very enjoyable holiday

  Left on 09/12/2010 for a stay in July 2010
  
  

  This area of France is very scenic with scope to sample many things. Andorra is about 1 hr 45 mins away and a great place for an overnight stay with fab duty free shoping, had an enjoyable ski lift ride also!
  About an hour and a half away is Roses in spain - a nice marina resort with lots of interesting "gin palaces" to oggle!
  In the very near locality is many interesting places to visit, ie Villefrance, Eus, and superb beaches are to be found nearby at Perpignon. Apartment itself was spacious and light and the facilities very good. The welcome from the owner who lives nearby was excellent and very friendly, cooked us dinner on the first night and shared several of his bottles of wine with us, our holiday so busy we did not get to repay the nice gesture - however if you are reading this Padraigh - thank you very much!!! Weather was fab 32 -39 degrees every day - was a shock to come back to England which was cold, drab and grey. Will definately go back to this area of France again and would have no hesitation in staying at this apartment again - a very enjoyable holiday!

  Stunning internal property

  Left on 08/30/2010 for a stay in August 2010
  
  

  Although waiting for local mayor to approve renovation of the outside, the inside has been finished to the highest standards. Everything you could want on a holiday and some more. The Private balcony is a great way to finish each day, looking out over the village. Plenty to do and see in the area, well worth a visit.
