We stayed in Julie's villa for 8 nights at the end of July and beginning of August. The villa was really spacious, modern and clean. It had everything you could want. The air conditioning in the Master Bedroom and Living Area was an added bonus! Our family consisted of 4 children, aged 15 months, 8, 11 and 14 yrs. The older ones loved the pool! We were a bit disappointed there was no parking with the villa but this wasn't too much of a problem as we were usually able to park in the cul-de-sac opposite. Loved being able to use the bikes in the garage!
Collioure itself was a lovely place and only a 10 minute walk from the villa. We didn't like the beach there but found a perfect one just 15 minutes drive away at Argeles Sur Mer. Lots of lovely places to eat in Collioure and a great market.
Thank you Julie for a wonderful place to stay in for our holiday!
I stayed in this lovely house for three weeks with three groups of friends and family, all of different ages, tastes and requirements. We all loved it!
It's perfect for large groups. It's very spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped. It's also convenient to the charming town and beaches.
The living, dining and kitchen space is large and flexible. The three bedrooms (each with its own bath) are in a separate wing, which is closed off from the living area with a separate door. This made for quiet sleeping quarters, as any noise from the group downstairs was blocked.
There's also a loft that sleeps several more guests (rented separately) that gives extra flexibility.
The attractive outside patios provide a huge amount of lounging and eating space. The views are beautiful and the furniture comfortable. Of course the pool was quite a hit!
The owner, Julie, was very helpful and easy to work with. She furnished and maintains the house to high standards, resulting in a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. I highly recommend this property!

Julie couldn't have been more helpful, nor could her lovely neighbours. The house was huge, clean, cool and well-equipped (including a nice cold bottle of wine in the fridge waiting for us on arrival). It was great to be able to pootle into town to collect some bread, have an ice-cream, play on the beach or look round the shops knowing that we could escape the crowds with just a short walk back to the house.
The pool was perfect for the children and there were inflatables available for them to use as well as some plastic water wheels etc. The outdoor furniture was a good quality and very comfy, plus we all loved the hammocks.
We were lucky enough to be there during the 'Festival St Vincent' which meant we were treated to live music, dancing, a buzzing atmosphere and a spectacular fireworks display viewed from the beach looking back at the castle. At no point during the festivities were we disturbed back at the house though; so we had the best of both worlds really being able to delve into the music and revelries in the town, but sleep soundly at night.
We mainly ate at the house and made packed lunches as we were disappointed by the quality of the food in the restaurants we tried and we found it all very expensive (especially the ones with 'the views'). The ice-creams were delicious however, and my daughter remembers them fondly as they were 'as big as my head'.
