This is a superb location for exploring the world of the Pyrenees Orientales and the Pays Catalan, north and south of the border. It is a different world to the other areas of France. Catalan is spoken here. We were able to walk to the beach through the Capellans residence and it took about 18 mins total with all the beach kit. We met up with a friend and we had a lovely meal at the beach restaurant. The apartment is lovely and cool in the hot summer months. A nice cross breeze in the apartment, so no need for the drone of the A/C and plenty of up to date appliances and new TV, DVD so it was nice to stay in and have a lovely meal. We went often to the Centre Commercial to buy one of the freshly made dishes of the day to eat these at home with some nice wine and dessert. I went to the hairdressers, English speakers, to have a nice cut and colour in a relaxed atmosphere. We also went to have the spa treatment at the Ile de la Lagune Hotel - 5 stars- and sit and watch the lagoon while having a cocktail in the garden. Heaven The apartment has two -standard size for this area- bedrooms with very comfortable beds, memory foam type. There is plenty of water and good quality showers. There are lovely plants on the balconies and it is so relaxing to sit and watch the world go by - that is the boats and the comings and goings of the little ferry. It is evident the owner takes great pride and care of this apartment. I understand that it is very cherished as a 'hideaway' for all the owner's family to come and stay so we were keen to take care of it. We also went down for a two day trip to Girona (where there are many Michelin starred restaurants and concerts) which was easy and then we visited some of the coves and medieval towns in the region to the south east of Girona. All so spectacular and easy to do. We love the museums of the area and particularly Collioure and the walks that are mapped to follow the route to the spots that the early Fauvist painters used to paint the area. Good weather mostly, some windy days, no clouds, so we headed to the bays on these days. Will definitely come again and felt very much 'taken care of' by the generous owner. Definitely recommended for peaceful getaways.

The complex is very easy to find and had secure parking. The apartment was comfortable, well equipped and an excellent base for discovering the local area. The complex is excellent with a variety of shops for fresh food and the majority of grocery needs. The 3 restaurants are very good as are the 2 pizza outlets and all at a genuine 2 minute walk. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it to others.

Two couples booked this place as a base for exploring. We arrived early May - 2nd or so - and the place was so cold! There was a portable convection heater which we turned on immediately and there were wall heaters which we tried but didn't work. The reverse cycle air con couldn't be turned on as it had a lock on the switch! I contacted the owner and was told if I paid another 30 or so Euros, we could turn on the heating!! How tight-fisted is that? We put up with the cold. The apartment was OK but the beds were small and uncomfortable and the extra I paid for more linen didn't work out, so we had to do laundry. This place is advertised as suitable for 6 , but it had trouble coping with 4 and there were not enough sheets and towels in spite of paying extra. The location was good, but I do like comfortable beds and this place doesn't have them. And I like to be warm and wasn't. Those are the reasons I wouldn't stay there again.

We stayed at this apartment for four weeks over New Year and found it to be excellent. It is the second time we have used this particular apartment, but we have stayed in the complex several times. This is by far the best equipped, and is decorated to a very high standard. Since our first visit we were pleased that they have now fitted a reverse cycle heating / air conditioning system, as in summer it gets very warm. In December/January that is not so much of a problem, however the same system kept us nice and warm! The apartment overlooks a quayside, and nothing can beat sitting on the balcony with a glass of wine watching the activity. Even in January some afternoons reached 20 degrees, and the nearby resorts of Argeles-sur-Mer and St Cyprien Plage were still quite busy, especially over the weekends. Our break was mainly to chill, and enjoy some time on our own. All-in-all it was a very pleasant holiday. We booked directly with the owner, who we have found to be extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble. With my wife being disabled we always have to double check that things are accessible, and Suzanne made sure that everything was ready for our arrival. The information pack we received shortly before our stay gave us some very useful information, and we had no problems whatsoever with the booking and payment process. We will definitely be visiting again, and would thoroughly recommend this accommodation.

This is the third year that I have rented this property and I would hope to return again in the future. The views over the marina and the distant snow capped Canigou are delightful, and with the property being set well back from the road it is also peaceful and relaxing. Tha apartment itself is well equipped and presented with a comfortable lounge and dining area as well as a newly refurbished and upgraded kitchen area. The bedrooms are pleasant and the separate bathroom and shower room are helpful to a family group. Everything was clean and the linen freshly laundered making the apartment welcoming from the moment one walked in the door. I cannot speak highly enough of the way the owner makes a prompt reponse to queries. She is extemely helpful and is reachable by e-mail or phone if any problems arise (they never have but the facility is there). There has never been any problem with transferring money to the owners bank account and there is always a prompt return of the damage deposit. The detailed list of facilities within the area that the owner has left on site are very helpful and informative. The way that guests are treated is of great credit to the owner and a reason why I will make a return visit. As a person that likes the outdoors I took the opportunity to explore new walking routes on my last visit. The very helpful Tourist Information Office in Ceret gave me a great deal of information of walks in the Vallespir, many of these are well worth exploring and range from easy to difficult giving much choice. With the Spanish border a 20 minute drive away there was also the opportunity to visit Aguamolls Nature Park which is a great family day out with a great variety of birdlife on view I have mentioned the good restaurants in Elne, but on my last trip I discovered the new seafood restaurant in Port Vendres. This really was a find, and can be found by walking around the far side of the port near the boatyards. For seafood lovers this place is highly recommended. For those who like the seaside the nearby beaches are clean but I would advise getting there early as they are very popular during the summer months. There are several attractions for children in the area which I have not visited and there are also cinemas in Argeles, Elne and Perpignan, often showing films in english. This is a lovely property in a great location, it is great for the beach, sightseeing and nature with many fine eating places a short drive away. Highly recommended.

You know when you rent a holiday apartment, there's always something that's wrong with it? Well this is the exception. It is quiet, peaceful, safe and secure (important for families), with delightful views over the marina, and easily accessible. We found everything we could possibly want, wonderful views, the most fabulously comfy beds (we really needed to sleep after a chaotic year), extremely well kitted out kitchen, TV with DVD player, lovely bathrooms (there are two!), and a washing machine and dishwasher, and they all worked - heaven! St Cyprien, although a rather sprawling holiday village, is a brilliant base for exploring this part of the Languedoc, with so much to see a week is not nearly enough, from the beautiful Pyrenees, to mountain villages, to seaside towns, stunning abbeys and priories, fortified castles (including the breathtaking Cathar castles) and vast sandy beaches. Shopping is never a problem, as every nearby village seems to have a massive supermarket. Suzanne is so easy to deal with, she's very helpful with all the information she gives both in respect of the apartment and the locality, and she was really quick to refund our deposit. We cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Spacious, well equiped apartment in marina complex. Shops and restaurants close by. Easy flat walk (approx 3 km) into St Cyprien plage with it's numerous cafes and restaurants. Area good for site-seeing. Good area for wine lovers. We had a very enjoyable stay and hope to return.

We had a great week at the apartment which was very clean and well appointed - one of the best we have stayed at over the years. The local shops were close by for day to day shopping. There was secure parking and the surrounding area is easily accessed by car for a variety of beaches and sight seeing. The pool was also very good. We have no hesitation in recommending.

This is a fabulous apartment with everything you could ask for - spacious, luxury kitchen, fantastic harbour views from balcony. huge swimming pool (great for kids). The owner is extremely friendly and helpful, providing useful information and ensuring you have everything you need. The commercial shopping area next to the complex is handy and you can buy fresh bread, meat, fish etc all day long. Beaches are lovely, especially St Cyprien and the village of Collioure is glorious. Plenty to keep children entertained in the area. Overall, thoroughly recommend this property and we will certainly return.

The property is clean and well presented with plenty of amenities to hand. It's location, on the edge of a marina with views over distant mountains, makes it an ideal spot for relaxation as well as walking. The bedrooms are comfortable and the kitchen/dining area is very well equipped. The ability to eat an evening meal on the balcony whilst watching the sun set over the water is an experience not to be missed. There are many opportunities for walking trails in the nearby area and the resort swimming pool is an ideal.place to relax after a day on the trail. For children there is mini golf, karting and Aqualand nearby. The local villages host a multitude of attractive restaurants with reasonably priced menus. This is a holiday property that I would highly recommend, with an owner who is extremely helpful and communicative.

We are experienced “Giters” having used 3 or 4 each year for the past 10 years or so. This one is right up at the top of the list. It has everything you could wish for, and a lot more besides, all the equipment is first class, and the apartment is furnished to a very high standard indeed. The Gite owner is friendly and helpful, her instructions are clear and precise. We did not have any problems at all. Only one word really – “Brilliant” and would recommend this to anybody.

We had the most wonderful relaxing break here in St Cyprian. The apartment has everything and more you could need and Suzanna, the owner was great at communicating and all instructions were simple to understand. Thanks for loaning us your superb home for a week!
