We enjoyed our stay at this house. You are close to the beach and harbour, so it is convenient for the many restaurants in Collioure, a beautiful old Catalan fishing port beloved of artists. There is an excellent view from the top floor of the sea, and the iconic church tower. It is close to the Chateau Royale of the Kings of Majorca, but there is not much to see in there. We enjoyed the walk up to the 16th century fortress on the hill above the town, which is also interesting to visit and there are great views from there. The house is built back to back with the houses fronting onto the esplanade so there is unfortunately no garden or outdoor space apart from the roof terrace. It is well equipped, with TV and a laptop connected to the internet. The ground floor lounge/dining room/kitchen needs better ventilation. The windows above the entrance door are stuck up with paint, so we had to leave the front door open to get fresh air through. A bird flew down the chimney (it was all right and flew out of the door). Some wire netting on the chimney would be a good idea. The road is too narrow for traffic so it is quiet and peaceful, and there is free parking (with the residents' parking card provided) in the nearby Chateau car park.
Not obvious how to use the Ikea cooker, and the instructions were all in Swedish, so I left some instructions in English. The local shops are good and convenient - there's a boulangerie and patisserie only a minute's walk away on the sea front, a small grocers with fresh fruit and veg also nearby, also a Carrefour supermarket the other side of the Chateau and Le Clercq up the road. We enjoyed eating at La Voile and Le Saint Elme which both have al fresco eating areas, the latter almost backs on to the house.
