Wonderful location!
We had a lovely time in Collioure. Bernard was a great host. He was very accommodating with our late arrival and had some great suggestions for dinner and sightseeing. I would highly recommend the apartment though not sure if it sleeps 6. There is a double bed and two twin beds. It was comfortable for 4.

Magical Stay!
We were astonished by both our host, Bernard - gracious and witty and generous to a fault! and his apartment - spacious, beautifully situated, filled with art, staring out at the castle and the bay. We were enchanted by the whole stay, and didn’t want to leave. I only wish we would have an opportunity to return!

Best flat in Collioure!
This is the second time we stayed in this flat. The first was five years ago, for one week. We loved it so much we stayed three weeks this time. The flat is fully equipped, clean, spacious, and comfortable. There is nothing as perfect as sitting on one of the two living room balconies overlooking the beach and harbor, whether people-watching, enjoying wine, cheese, and baguettes from one of the many local shops, or trying your hand at a watercolor painting of the famous bell tower. The upstairs deck off the master bedroom is wonderful for enjoying a nightcap while watching the sun go down over the village rooftops. Trust me, there is not a better combination of view, location, and value to be found in Collioure! To top it all off, the hosts are beautiful people, warm and charming.

Special place in a perfect location
This apartment has character and is perfectly placed to enjoy the sea, the town and for travel. The hosts are helpful and kind. It has all you need in terms of equipment for the kitchen etc as well as being beautifully decorated with art and antique crockery, attractive linens and so on. We were quite hot in the night at first, fans are provided, but soon became accustomed. The view over the town and sea is better than any TV! Thank you for a lovely stay

Superb position in beautiful Collioure
A real gem - in a superb location overlooking one of Collioure’s beaches and in easy walking distance to all of the attractions, museums and galleries. The private, secure garage is a great feature too, with enough room to park a large, long estate car! The host was very attentive to our needs and made us feel at home from the beginning of our stay (despite us being held up in traffic making us 2 hours late!)

Stunningly beautiful
Words cannot express the beauty of Collioure and from our accommodation the unique beauty and fascinating history of the area was laid out before us. The view from the balcony is like being in a dream or like being taken back in time. Sit and watch the boats coming and going, gaze over at the castle and tower. It truly felt like we had gone back in time and yet with all of the conveniences of a very well equipped apartment and beautiful little town that offered everything we needed. Thanks so much Bernard, hope to see you again soon!

Great apartment, great host!
The apartment was right on the beach with a beautiful view from the open terraces. It had everything we needed, a kitchen and two bedrooms, two toilets and one shower. The location of the apartment was perfect, right in town and short walk to everything Collioure has to offer. Bernard was a great host - he was at the property right on time when we arrived and left and made everything easy. We would definitely go back!

A gem of the apartment at the heart of Collioure
This apartment is the only place I have ever rented in my life where you can stay inside and still it will be worth every penny because of the view.... which is simply incredible. You have the prime view of Collioure bay, you can sit on the balcony and just enjoy the life strolling by... which we did on many occasions.
However, if you want to enjoy the clean cooling waters of the Mediterranean, the beach is literally in front of the house - it can't get any better or more convenient.
If you are looking to rent this apartment, you probably know about Collioure - you can spend the entire week here and never be bored, or you can drive around to places like Castelnou, Céret, Amelie-les-Bains, Eus, etc. Not to mention Perpignan, which is 20 minutes away by train. There is a market every Sunday and Wednesday where you can buy delicious things. You can walk up to Fort St. Elme and enjoy the stunning views of vineyards, the smells of fennel and lavender, and the only sounds you will hear are the birds.... so many of them.
The apartment itself is well stocked and wonderfully decorated. We cooked in the apartment on several occasions and we found all the utensils that we need. The shower is nice and strong. I would advise tall people to watch the door sills on the upper level, they are rather low so you need to bow your head a little... or not, and then you will remember to, next time.
A few words to be added about the host family. Mr. Bernard Desclaux is a wonderful, gracious host, who welcomed us to his ancestral home; it was wonderful to learn what this house means to his family; there is something special to be welcomed to the house which was a home to several family generations. We felt like we were guests, not just renters.

Lovely comfortable if slightly old fashioned apartment in a glorious location directly overlooking the main beach, castle and sites of beautiful Collioure. On the second and third floors so be prepared for lots of stairs. Hard to leave the little balconies and glorious views but the third floor terrace is a cooler place to sit when it’s too hot at the front. Great hosts too

Incredible and magical, best holiday ever
Bernard was the perfect host, welcoming and informative, he certainly did his utmost to help us and make the holiday perfect.
Collioure is a stunning fishing village with an incredible history, the apartment has spectacular views of the church, castle whilst looking directly on to the beach. In the evening it was blissful drinking wine and soaking up the atmosphere.
Our children had a great time as there was loads of a activities and next time I would definitely book them into a weeks sailing course.
We hired a car although you don’t really need one as we travelled to Carcassonne and a few further locations to visit castles and places of historic interest.
There was a festival with live bands, dance and theatre performed around collioure every evening during our stay.
Even though this is a bustling place there are beautiful relaxing quiet places to sit and think.
As you walk around this town you can really see why fauvism flourished here and why so many famous artists made it their home.
I loved the location, the history and the accommodation
It was a perfect holiday
