Maison privée, superbe vue sur mer et vignobles

The house is in a great location if you like peace and quiet with lovely views over the sea, the house isn’t luxurious but if you value watching the sunset in the grounds with no one else about and having beautiful coastal walks on your doorstep this is the place. It’s about a 30 minute walk or 5 minute drive to Port Vendre restaurants which are excellent and mostly reasonably priced and 10 minutes walk to the beach.

The location of the house is great. The quality of the interior unfortunately lags somewhat behind and despite the location by the sea there were more mosquitoes than we expected in the beginning of august. Nevertheless, we had a fantastic week with great evenings on the terrace, top quality fish in the nearby restaurant Le Poisson Rouge and we had lovely swims in the sea.

We really appreciated the warm and friendly welcome on arrival. The views from the terrace and upper viewpoint area are spectacular and we really enjoyed visiting the beaches and nearby towns such as Collioure where we had a couple of lovely meals out. We also enjoyed walking from the house on a morning to enjoy the scenery and a walk down to the local beach too. It is a very short drive to the nearest supermarket which was really handy. We missed comfortable seating to relax in around the house exterior as the garden is very rustic, the bunkbeds were a little uncomfortable for our older girls and it was very hot so a plug in fan for the night would have been ideal but it has a lot of charm and we had an enjoyable stay.

We were blown away by the views on arrival at Suzanne and Matthieu's property. Port-Vendres stands out among the surrounding towns as it feels less touristy and more authentically French (we only overheard one other English couple the whole week we were there). The food, coastal paths, bike routes and pottery shops were perfect for a week away from the city and the house has everything you need. Suzanne was extremely warm and helpful in giving restaurant and trip advice. Hope to be back again soon. Klara & Will

We all loved this "little" place from the moment we arrived. The house was big enough for five people and dog and we had all we needed. The countryside was beautiful, nice beaches and wonderful blue sea. Thank you, Suzanne and Mathieu!

This is a great little place, very secluded and yet in easy reach of the beach and town. Lovely walking along the road over to the lighthouse and to the coves beyond - and then coming back for a snooze in the hammock, all good... ! Suzanne is very friendly and helpful - this is highly recommended.

We loved our stay at this secluded house with its outdoor terrace and view of the sea. Walking out of the driveway into a national park was pretty fabulous. The owners couldn't have been more helpful with the house and steering us in the right directions in town. They are delightful people. And they are completely discreet, but warmly available if necessary. We don't really want to review this house, so no one will discover this special spot, but we can't help but recommend it!

I stayed in this beautiful villa at the end of June with my husband & the kids. We where so happy when we got to the villa. It was perfect for us. The bedrooms where clean & a good size, the bathroom was immaculate with a lovely big shower & the kitchen/sitting room was very well equipped. We ate outside most nights as the veranda is huge & with views over the Med where incredible. Front view was the glistening blue sea & to the right of the villa was rows & rows of vineyards...this is what a holiday is all about. The kids loved it too & went swimming everyday in the sea, which was only a few minutes walk away.We had a wonderful relaxing time here, but there was plenty to do in Port Vendres & the outlining areas..we even had a day trip to Spain which was great fun. Port Vendres has plenty of restaurants which are so reasonable & the wine was incredible in this area. This really is such a beautiful part of France & we can't wait to go back. Suzanne was very helpful, from booking the villa, giving us lots of info on where to eat or visit. Having a fluent English & French speaker really helps also.. I couldn't fault anything. I would definitely recommend this property as either a Summer or Winter let. It really is so relaxing & it gets one away from the hassle & bustle of life...That's what a holiday is all about. So thank Suzanne & Mathieu for letting us stay in your beautiful villa & we look forward to coming back to stay soon :)
