Farmstay in Pyrénées-Orientales

"We had a fabulous holiday at Mas de la Rivière. The house is spacious and well-equipped and the private and partially shady terrace with its beautiful trees and wisteria-covered outdoor dining space was a godsend on the hottest of days. We enjoyed the beautiful clean pool and after-dinner boules on the floodlit pitch in the garden. Our dog enjoyed swimming in the river Tet next to the house and there are enormous sandy beaches nearby as well as some pretty rockier coves close to the Spanish...

"The address given is not accurate and it took us ages to find, we had to hope that the host read the messages, he then gave us the address. This is listed as an English speaking host which is not accurate. We struggled to communicate. The place is advertised with a pool but this was out of bounds due to the drought, we understand this but we should have known before arrival. We had no hot water at all during our stay and we could not contact the host despite messaging and ringing the door...

"Although enjoyable not quite what we were expecting. We only however had 2 problems. Finding the location initially. There were no directions and eventually we had to phone Alain. The second was the shower. It was very difficult to use and needs reviewing."

"Très bien!"

"The villa is bigger and nicer than the photos show. The outside area is beautiful. It’s a 15 minute walk to collioure and less than 10 minutes to a beach with a beach bar."

"My family and I had a wonderful stay; the house is even better in person than in photographs, with huge amounts of space, a lovely garden, a stunning pool that kept the children happy, and a great location about 15 minutes from the beach."

"Appartement au calme, très spacieux, à proximité de commodités et au milieu des vignes. Très bon accueil dd la part de la proprietaire. Emplacement ideal pour se rendre sur la côte vermeille et en Espagne.."

"Idéal pour des partages en famille...en prime la dégustation des vins du domaine...merci à Guillaume d avoir pris le temps de la découverte !"

"The views from mas Carol are simply breathtaking - not a house in site in all directions, just endless forest up to the dramatic ridge of the Spanish border. The woods are quiet and peaceful, and there are marvellous walks from the front door - follow tree forest road up into the mountains till you reach a stream, where after a steep climb on an overgrown local trail you can join the grand randonée and have incredible views down towards Céret. The town is very picturesque, with a museum of...

"Our group (5 active adults, all in our 60's) loved our stay at l'Atelier Maillol. When not exploring the region and its attractions, we spent much of our time sitting on the terrace/deck, eating delicious local food and drinking tasty wines. The house is a wonderful hybrid of traditional architecture on the exterior and contemporary open design inside, made more special by its history and heritage as Maillol's working studio. The house's set-up of bedrooms and bathrooms offered privacy to all,...

"Das Haus hat alles, was man braucht. Mir persönlich war die Matratze zu hart, aber das ist vielleicht Geschmackssache. Ich würde trotzdem wiederkommen!"

"Lovely stay. Eloi is a superb host, for whom nothing seemed too much trouble. The property is in a superb location, with fabulous views over the mountain to the border with Spain. Privacy is guaranteed, but you do have to enjoy isolation, as the nearest shops and bars are a hair-raising 25 minute drive up and down the mountain on a very narrow, twisty road. The house is superbly equipped (Eloi lives there for nine months of the year) with Bose speakers, Thermomix, coffee machine with built-in...

"Nice little property. We appreciated that the space was on two floors. The huge advantage of the property is it’s location: 10min walk to amazing beaches and a short distance to amazing Collioure."

"My family and I enjoyed our stay at this beautiful and comfortable home in the hills above Collioure. Its many bedrooms and multiple indoor sitting rooms and terraces house many guests without crowding. Furnishings are thoughtful and lovely and include a lot of interesting art. The kitchen is modern, attractive, and well equipped to handle many guests. We enjoyed the views, the small pool, the short drive into the seaside town of Collioure, and the short walk to scenic trails. We were...

"La maison et vraiment belle avec une grande piscine, nous avons passés de belle vacances en famille"

"Zeer mooie rustige omgeving en vriendelijke en discrete gastheer- en vrouw"

"Points faibles : odeur d'humidité dans le mas propreté : un nettoyage plus approfondi (cuisine salle d'eau) serait nécessaire. Wifi Haut Débit ! : débit très faible, connexion internet à peine utilisable à l'intérieur comme à l'extérieur durant toute la semaine. Déçus par rapport au peu d'avis précédents."

"We were stunned by the spacious and tidy rooms. Kitchens were very well equipped (better than we ever encountered in many other apartments we visited with this group of friends + kids). The environment is beautiful and the help of Imogen (our host) was great! The swimming pool, table tennis, spacious terras, table football were great!"

"We had a wonderful week in this property which was hidden away amongst fruit fields and had gorgeous views of the Pyrenees. Jean was very welcoming and the air-conditioning was the best we've ever had, keeping the villa cool throughout. The pool was fabulous and a variety of seating areas around the grounds meant you could always find some shade. It was very peaceful and the quick access to the main route to the Pyrenees and Perpignan made it easy to explore the beautiful area. This stay...
