If you are a car person .... a great experience is to drive to the Pyrenees for a day break .... the road to Andorra is spectaclur ... winding mountain roads through snowcapped peaks and a walk in the clear mountain air..or visit the National Parks en route .. roads can be busy in summer but for the fun driver this is a trip worth making outside the tourist season to get a James Bond mountain drive experience with empty dry roads and spectacular scenery and local drivers buzzing in their souped up minis .... be sure to fill up on the cheap petrol and shopping in Andoora .... bottle of gin 4€ and return to hot and sunny Portiragnes by the sea;

Response from the owner Hi Mark Im delighted you enjoyed your stay and the magical evenings there at the dinner table . I do apologise for the misunderstanding you had about the bathrooms. There is 2 full bathrooms with bath and shower upstairs and downstairs and a third bathroom upstairs with shower only. The fourth is what is known in France as a WC ... toilet room only Im sorry you felt you didnt have enough toiletries also. The TV is fully functional from the remote control as described in house manual. As per your tempoary issue with getting connected to the wifi connection ,if you contacted me on email or phone I would have assisted you straight away once I was aware of the issue, but Im delighted you enjoyed your visit. Wishing you a safe journey home . Sean

“This is an ideal family holiday villa as the location had something for all members of our large, extended family.”
Our was made up of 3 generations from 4 years to just now retired and everyone had a great time. The villa is not done justice by its photos on the site and although there were 11 of us we all had plenty of space. The wildlife in the grounds amused the children with bats, lizards and hedgehogs to keep them entertained on various "hunts" in the evening when they younger ones were not able to go in the pool any longer. The local area is fantastic for its facilities and the welcome from locals was the best we have ever received. In the past we have always visited an area once and tried somewhere else - but this time people agreed that this would be well worth a return visit. Also worth a mention locally is the hospital and local pharmacy who were very helpful when the youngest child fell on the beach and damaged his front teeth - not a quarter of the wait we would have had here in Kent and a follow up appointment with a specialist in just 2 days! However, just in case visitors are in a similar position it would be an idea to practise the French for "could you please tell me where the all night chemist is tonight" as the local police, who you have to ring for this information do not speak English at all and will very helpfully give you a number which is neither a phone number, nor a post code. This was the only time we were held back by our basic schoolboy French. Overall well worth a visit, do not miss the Euro park Fairground, and great value for money - both the accommodation and the "extras".
