Mas Des Fleurs - Heated pool - Child friendly gardens - Beach 10mins

The property was a perfect place for our family (with 2 teenage boys) to relax for a couple of weeks. Conveniently located a few minutes from the centre of Perpignan (but with no sense of being in the city), around 10 minutes from the expansive sands of Canet Plage and with great views of the Pyrenees. We made good use of the lovely pool area, table tennis, etc. and well-maintained grounds. James is a very obliging, friendly and un-intrusive host. We hope to return!

The relaxed and beautiful surroundings and comfort of the Granary Palm was the perfect follow up to a very active week in the Ardèche. Both teenage girls were happy to spend several days in and lounging by the fresh water pool. James was a fabulous host with all sorts of useful tips and recommendations for days out and places to eat. We would love to revisit the region and would have no hesitation in returning to Mas des Fleurs.

We had a great time staying at James and Ilona's place... and so did our children (7 and 10). The apartment was spacious, nice light, and well equipped as we cooked most nights. The garden is amazing, and the children really enjoyed the trampoline, and playing with their children. It was a really nice, relaxing long weekend get-away!

We had a super time staying at this property with excellent facilities. A short distance to several beaches and close to Perpignan - a great city to visit with plenty of attractions and restaurants. Very well managed and the gite was very well equipped for self catering. The children enjoyed playing in the extensive gardens and large pool. Thoroughly recommend a holiday here.

Can't describe what a great time we had. The cottage is beautifully set in gorgeous gardens. The kids just jumped out of the house and stayed in the garden whenever we were in. There is so much to do and see in and around Perpignan that a week wasn't nearly enough. We definitely want to come back! Thanks so much James and Illona for a fantastic time.

This is an excellent place to stay, in or out of season. Lovely apartment, spolessly clean, with a beautiful and large pool area, and lovely views. James and Ilona are the perfect hosts, attentive and knowledgeable of the local area, whilst being relazed Perpignan is a lovely place to visit, even in November in this case! Towns like Coullieur are a real highlight, and the wine of this region is also seriously under-rated. Perpignan offers a huge variety of restaurants and activities, and this is the perfect base from which to visit the city and it's surrounds. Another plus point is that Spain and Barcelona are within easy reach for a daytrip. Overall a perfect stay, and shall be returning again in the summer of 2011 Highly recommended!

We visited Le Mas last year for a short break with some friends. Ilona and James are very friendly and super helpful, they gave us lots of good advice. We stayed in the Granary Palm view suite which was lovely and large, had great facilities and felt quite private. It was spotlessly clean and well maintained with everything that we needed. The gardens are beautiful and I'm sure will improve considering the ideas the owners mentioned to us, they are both keen gardeners I understand! The pool area is idyllic and there is plenty of room to enjoy the space and to lounge out in the sunshine. Although we spent much of our time just relaxing at the villa, nearby there is plenty to do with Perpignan only about 10 minutes away. There are also some vast beaches within a short journey away. We really enjoyed our stay at Le Mas and will certainly return one day I hope! I would happily recommend Le Mas as a holiday destination, particularly to families with young children.

This is a perfect place to spend a relaxed self-catering holiday. The accommodation is spacious and very well equiped with access to a beautiful and extensive garden area planted with many exotic plants and fruit trees. Access to terraces for dining is easy as is the large pool facility in the grounds, complete with bar area. The location of this property is ideal for sightseeing in the area, visiting the colourful local markets in the city ,and the long sandy beaches which this area is famed for, are a short distance away. All age groups will benefit from the location of this property and will find plenty of activities to occupy children and places to visit in the area. The friendly and relaxed approach by the owners makes this an enjoyable experience in a part of France which is less frenetic than other coastal areas. To be highly recommended as a holiday destination.
