MAISON ROSAEL AU CARREFOUR DES ARTISTES

The house is ideally situated in the centre of the pedestrian area of Collioure, which does mean you need to unload luggage etc a few steps away. Two couples and one 21 month old found the accommodation to be just what we wanted. A bedroom, bathroom and bunk bed room on the first floor, a kitchen, dining and sitting area on the second and a bedroom, bathroom and sitting area on the third floor was an ideal configuration. There is also separate parking, which is much appreciated although it is a little walk away. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Collioure, which was the first I had been back for nearly 30 years.

The host was wonderful! The property is as advertised- steps from the beach, dining, shops. There are lots of stairs in the apartment and the scenic alleyway, so beware if you have small children, strollers or mobility challenges. It’s not particularly well stocked, so be prepared to bring or buy soap and beach towels. Collioure is a quiet village with many families, but our young adults (ages 17-25) still managed to find a little nightlife. We would absolutely come back again.

My wife and I stayed for a week here. The property is in an outstanding location in town and near the beach. The property is great, with everything we needed. It’s a lovely old building, plenty of character in the hubbub of the village. I would recommend to the owners that it’s probably time to update the kitchen, bathrooms and furniture as these are showing their age now…we never managed to get the grill to work as the oven is pretty tricky to figure out! Some of the pots and pans are a bit beyond their life too 😂. The place is generally very clean. Only comment is the oven hood was gross! The switches a sticky with grease and the filters are pretty greased up. We did get an unexpected visitor one day when an electrician let himself in. The property manager hadn’t been told by the owner about the appointment so she was as surprised as us when we told her! All in all, an excellent place to stay and good value. Hopefully the owners will invest in it to make it even better in future.

Myself, pregnant wife, and 2 year old traveled to the property for a 29 day stay – we stayed for only 14 days. We would strongly advise anyone with mobility issues or young children against this property. The stairs are challenging and there are not continuous handrails as would be required in the USA. As to the cleanliness: The apartment was delivered broom clean – other places we stayed were delivered much cleaner. The furniture needs to be reappointed. The shelf above the bed on the top floor was broken off the wall and kept sliding down in the night like it might fall. The red chair has foam creeping out of it from the many rips in it. We finally left the apartment for good after we found the second small six legged bug crawling on my son in the living room in two days. I am not an entomologist so I can’t say what it was but we sent the host photos so they can address it. Bugscreens or mosquito nets would benefit the unit. There is no AC so windows had to be kept open and the mosquitos were aggressive in the night. It should be noted that the parking is a 20-25 minute walk from the unit. The walk to the parking is a real up-hill hike and shouldn’t be taken lightly. There is no Whirlpool Spa amenity as stated in the listing. Sophie, the host was pleasant and gave good directions and recommendations. If we had it to do again we’d probably have not chosen to try to stick it out at the property and would have moved-on sooner.

We were two couples. The house is on three level with a central floor with kitchen and living area. Steep stairs but exactly what was illustrated and very quaint. All was clean and well equipped. Exceptional communication and a host willing to work with us for an early check in and late checkout. The location is perfect for easy walking to all Collioure has to offer.p, which is a lot. Would thoroughly recommend and many thanks.

Super chouette maison. Bien équipée et propre. Extrêmement bien située, près des commerces, des restos et de la plage. Malgré tout, elle se situe dans une rue très calme. C’est parfait 👌😉 Sophie est géniale et nous a merveilleusement bien accueillis. Merci pour votre disponibilité et vos partages 😊
