Letting ourselves in was simple and the directions given were very good. The house is big and very well appointed and there is sufficient of everything to see you through your stay, including herbs, spices, sugar etc. but it could have done with a good clearout as there was far too much stuff and no idea how old some of it was. It was lovely to be so close to shops and restaurants, but there is a price to pay, namely that these shops and restaurants need to be re-stocked every day, and they like to do these thing fairly early in the mornin . We were lucky we could get parked each day in the littlesquare a 50 metre walk from the apartment and all free. There is a good supply of supermarkets in the area as well, always useful for self catering. On Saturday there was a market which stretches across quite a few streets and the traders sold a lovely variety of stuff . All in all, it was a nice stay, but it was incredibly hot the week we were there (last week July) and it would have been nice to have airconditioning, at least in the bedrooms.

This house could not be in a better position. Its close to absolutely everything in the lovely town of Ceret. Downstairs is a beautiful kitchen diner which is well equipped and very cool to retreat to after the heat from outside. The bedrooms are lovely and each has a fax, much needed for our stay when they was a heatwave.

I had an excellent stay at this property with my husband and our two children (ages 5 and 2) when we traveled to France from Canada. The property was exactly what we were hoping for-clean, well maintained and most importantly for us right in the middle of the old town. There is a large car park that is only a couple minutes walk to the property (which is on a pedestrian street), cafes and restaurants are only steps away from the front door. Ceret itself is lovely and very easy to get to off the main motorway. We enjoyed being tourists in this great village! It also meant it was a great place for us to take family day trips to the beach, other French towns and into Spain. Sam and Maggi (the owners) were a pleasure to communicate with. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful holiday. They obviously love this village and want to ensure their guests have a great time, too! I would most definitely recommend this property and we will certainly stay here again if we are back in the area!

Staying in this charming four-story apartment - in the heart of this sweet little French town - enhanced the wonderful experience we had in Ceret. The winding greenery and lavender shutters on the outside were picture-perfect and standouts on the street. The kitchen was very well-equipped; and the winding stone stairways added to the authenticity. The master bath was large and comfortable, and the fab fourth-floor living room made us want to throw a party. we loved feeling like locals and would highly recommend this beautiful place!

The house was an attraction in itself with many people taking photos - very pretty with flowering climbers and flowers at the windowsill. The house is equipped with everything you should need including much needed fans at night, every kitchen/dining utensil, Netflix which was great for the kids for films some evenings and a fab newly decorated bathroom and very easy to feel at home. It has 2 Boulangeries within a mins walk. We loved exploring the town in the evening and sampling beers and sangria in the local bars while listening to various live music. The house is in the centre of it all but down an alleyway that means it is quieter apart from when there is music in the bar opposite. A good excuse to try their tapas and beers! Our 3 children, aged 12, 14 and 18 enjoyed the pedalos at the lake at St Jean, the beach at Racou. We had a day trip to Gerona and collioure. The highlights were "easy" canyoning at Gorges de Galamus with Action Aventure and swimming at Duilhac sous Peyrepeteuse and an overnight stay in Carcassonne on our way back to Toulouse. Thankyou for a fab holiday and all the thought you gave with your recommendations and accommodating us with changing travel arrangements. We hope to be back some day.

Had a terrific time in Ceret. Sam and Maggie were in town so we got lots of good tips. There was a big festival on so the town was very lively. The house was spotless and the starter pack was much appreciated. Great location and lots to do and see. We will be back hopefully.

This is the perfect house for a relaxing holiday. It's conveniently located in the old part of Céret, close to good restaurants and a wonderful museum of modern art, and with free parking a few minutes' walk away. There was plenty of room for three adults and two children and, in addition to all the essential facilities, it was well stocked with books, maps and children's toys. It was clean, comfortable and welcoming, and I would recommend it to anyone wanting a base from which to explore this wonderful part of France.
