About this property

A FEW STEPS FROM THE SEA, MAS DES PORTALS CRIQUES MAGNIFICENT VIEW,

In the Collioure natural area, the property is just 4 minutes' walk from the first little-known cove of summer tourism, where you can quickly spot many fish. On both sides you will reach on foot by garrigue paths to sandy beaches much more frequented or you can either lounge or go by sailboat.
The property has been completely renovated to offer a holiday home where everything is thought of for your comfort. You can cool off in its large swimming pool or in the shade of its huts, enjoy its magnificent Mediterranean garden, grill the fish of the day or the typical musclade in one of its shaded barbecues.
20 mins walk you will reach the historic center of Collioure where like Derain and Matisse you will succumb to its charm. You can taste fresh fish or a good seafood platter at one of the many restaurants along the edges of the
beaches. You will love its night and day markets, its typical Catalan boats in garish colors, the famous Music Festival "Les Déferlantes" at Argeles Plages, the water parks, the visit of the many vineyards, the First Marine Reserve of France between Cerbére and Banyuls, the classified and protected site of Anse de Paullille, all nearby.

The property is wonderful. It offers a lot for either a large group or family. It has multiple entertainment areas outside and the open plan lounge/dining with generous dining table allowed for some wonderful, fun evenings. We located the stereo upstairs but there was no Bluetooth option. The bedrooms are spacious and the two downstairs rooms have ensuites. All bedrooms in the large house have aircon. The location is slightly further away from Collioure than we expected, around 25 mins of hilly and flat terrain. La Racou is only 1km away. There is a campground 100mts away that offers a well equipped supermarket and very nice restaurant. There is an on-site maintenance person (Jeremy) who live in a separate house but will help with anything you need. The actual location of the property caused a bit of confusion so it’s best to head toward the campground (Camping Les Criques Des Porteils), the house is on the lane to the right as you approach and signposted. Thank you to Marie and Alfred, you provided a wonderful experience for our group - one we will never forget!

Great week in very warm weather. Beautiful home with loads of room for different groups. Beautiful outdoor kitchen & eating area. Lovely garden. The pool was the highlight.Small shop and restaurant a few hundred meters away. Walk to Collioure was on very quiet road - somewhat hilly but largely ok for all if not super hot.Merci Marie & Thank you Jeremy.

Beautiful property

We were fortunate that, unusually, the property was available during the winter. Our extended family stayed 12 nights over the Christmas/New Year holidays. We received a warm welcome from Marie Claire and were pleased to find a decorated Christmas tree in the living room. We enjoyed the location, a short walk to the Mediterranean, and a 15-18 minute walk to Collioure. The grounds have parking for multiple vehicles, which is useful.A very memorable holiday!!

Beautiful Collioure

We had a lovely holiday here as a family with our two small dogs, The accommodation is spacious and excellent. There are several places to eat in the garden which has beautiful flowers.There is an easy walk to the beach and a slightly more challenging walk to Collioure, which we loved. The shop in the adjacent campsite is very good. The garden was safe and secure for our dogs but there isn't a fence around the pool or a pool cover.

We loved it! Marie Claire and Jeremie were so helpful and welcoming. The house and its surrounding really is even better than the photographs, it’s perfectly designed (we were a family of seven across three generations), equipped and located. We really enjoyed Plage de L’Ouille 10 mins walk away, and lovely Collioure.

We did not want to leave!

We did not want to leave this lovely secluded, spotless house with a large pool, surrounded by apple and olive trees. The house is really well equipped with anything you need for cooking, with 2 BBQ areas for eating al fresco. Great for fun activities with toys and a table tennis table. Easy to find, with beach access just 5 minutes away. Its a short walk from Coulliere town (although quite a steep hill back!) which has a bustling market, lovely restaurants and a castle.

Resting

The property was large, clean and had everything you could wish for. All the cooking items. It is on a lovely setting, it had a number of areas to sit -in the shade and out, and also different places to eat. We had breakfast in one place and dinner somewhere else. The weather was hot but there was a breeze most days.

Great family villa

Perfect family villa for our group. We enjoyed all the eating and sitting areas, as well as the pool, table tennis and table football. The accommodation is very stylish. Great location with walks to several beaches very close by. We visited Collioure, as well as Racou and other areas. As previously mentioned, there is a road and railway nearby, but this was not an issue for us. We would highly recommend.

Wonderful property close to the beach

This is a beautiful house with extensive grounds and two really lovely BBQ areas in addition to a great pool area. Although close to a road and train line the location is hard to beat being so close to the beach and easy walking distance from Collioure and Argeles Port. Jeremy was lovely and always on hand for any issues that might have arisen. Thank you for a lovely stay!

helpful

We enjoyed a lovely week in Collioure. Marie Claire and Jeremy were super responsive, friendly and helpful throughout, including in relation to uncertainty around COVID and travel restrictions. The house is lovely and the outdoor spaces are amazing. We enjoyed a number of walks into town, which is 20 minutes as described, but it is a steep walk in places, so something to consider if that might be a challenge for younger or older guests. Our children were all fine with it, so perhaps just the younger ones if going to town a lot is something you are looking for. Easy access to supermarkets and lovely beaches and restaurants and Collioure is stunning.

Catalan Gem

French spaces tend to be small; larger holiday properties tend to feel a bit generic, as if they could be in Collioure or Costa Rica. Mas de Criques is a unique: a gorgeous, well-appointed villa amid the vineyards with a glorious amount of outdoor space. Inside, the floor plan allows for both privacy and communal gathering. Our first night a big storm rolled in and the lights went out just as some guest were arriving. Quel un catastrophe! But we were able to contact the owners quite easily and get it sorted out with no problem. I would recommend this sweet, unique villa to anyone wishing to enjoy the special magic of this part of France.

An excellent stay!

Marie Claire’s home is a gem! Recently renovated, it is impeccably clean and includes everything one may need in a house. The main area is open and makes gatherings comfortable and easy. Each bedroom has its own bath and AC control. The outdoors are landscaped beautifully and with several sitting options as well as fun options: swimming pool, ping pong table and foosball table. The property is safe and secure with an all around fence. The nearest beach is 10-15 walking distance via a pretty path. We really had a great time and highly recommend this beautiful property!

Great summer holiday with teens

This was a lovely holiday for 2 families. The house was great for our families with older kids. Location is fantastic; walking distance to Collioure and Racou Plage. Lots to do in the area. We had no idea how lovely Collioure was until we got there and it's just lovely. Plenty of great places to eat out and a short drive into the nearby mountains for activities like canyoning and climbing. I would recommend if going for 2 weeks, pay for additional cleaning mid stay as if not, you won't get a change of towels or bedding.

Fantastic property in a beautiful place

We had a really great stay here. Everything about the house was spot on. We have 4 young kids and they loved the pool, the ping pong table, eating at the bar.... it’s a really easy house for lots of people. There are lots of different zones for people wanting to do different things. Everything inside the house was great - all machines perfect and beautifully clean, well presented and kept. Lovely little touches from the owners who were delightful. Top notch! And easy location to reach everything. We will be back!

Beautiful Villa

Great holiday at this villa, very impressive grounds and a beautiful villa with all modern amenities. Very freindly owners and they went out of their way to help with our very late arrival ( 1:00 am in the morning). Will definitely look to return as this villa accommodated our entire family including grand children with ease due to the Cast amount of space in and around the villa. Very private and secluded but close to both Argeles and Collioure. We cannot fault this villa.
