Fisherman's house above the Old Port in Port-Vendres

This is an attractive small 19th century house recently restored, in a quiet cul-de-sac, less than 100 m from the waterfront. It has a large living and dining room, with an open plan kitchen separated by a bar. Above this is a mezzanine with 2 single beds. Below is a roomy bedroom with 1 double bed and 1 single bed, a bathroom (bath plus shower cabinet), and separate toilet. Sleeps 4 – 5. Reversible air conditioning and supplementary electric heating. Internet connection and telephone. Television and DVD player.
From the sitting room there are pleasant views to the church and headland, and from the balcony a view to the Old Port. Outside the front door is a small enclosed terrace (lemon tree, pomegranate, oleanders etc.) with a garden table and chairs.

Charming Pt. Vendres pad-
Interesting, comfortable multi-level house with good harbor and surroundings view. Central location for hikes, shopping, swimming, dining, transportation. Car isn't necessary here. Cool loft for kids or old kids has view out skylight. Facilities all work well. Owners have been ill, so we understood why it wasn't sterile like a dentist's office but adequately clean. Fun place, nice neighbors--

Wunderbare Wohnung in ruhigem Dorf
Alles entsprach der Beschreibung. Freundlicher Kontakt mit Vermietern und sehr unkompliziert. Tolle Ausstattung, alles da was man für entspannte Ferien braucht. Viele schöne Ausflugsziele in der näheren Umgebung. Deutlich weniger touristisch als die Nachbarorte.

Mitt äventyr!
Funkade bra! Har gångsvårigheter så trappan i huset och i staden var utmanande, men det funkade. Parkering saknades egentligen men det löstes med hjälp av en hjälpsam granne. Återvändsgata som också var en utmaning att vända på. Härlig utsikt! Praktisk semesterbostad. Bra kontakt med värden. Kan tänka mig att hyra igen !

great base for exploring the sea and the pyrenees
We wanted a base from which to spend 10 days srokelling and mountain walking - Gareth and Irene's house was perfect! Everything you need is within walking distance - restaurants (we recommend Le chant du poulpe', amongst the best restaurants I've been to) bars, and grocery store. There's a small quiet creek 10 minutes walk away to cool down in the sea. A little further (20min drive) the marine nature reserve awaits you - you don't need to go to an aquarium, you just stick your head underwater. The only thing missing is the David Attenborough voice over and your in a BBC nature documentary. The house itself is basic, but it has everything that you would need. Everything is clean and in good condition, the living room is large as is the main bedroom. As it's built into the mountain side it remains cool even in the afternoons which is great. The shady patio is a real bonus, and the views of the port at sunset are great. There are loads of info if you're into hiking, with all the detailed ordinance survey type maps you will need so that you don't get lost! We really recommend a stay at Port Vendres - perhaps not as picturesque as Colioures ar Banyules, but so much quieter, and this is still a working port, not just a tourist trap. Diolch i chi, Geraint ac Irene, fe ddaru ni fwynhau!

Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable dans cette magnifique région. La location est confortable. Attention toutefois à la chambre en mezzanine : on ne peut y tenir debout et l'escalier d'accès est très raide.

Maison agréable
La maison est confortable, climatisée avec une petite terrasse agréable, bien fleurie et à l'ombre. l'ensemble est fidèle à la description du propriétaire. Les bémols sont qu'il est un peu compliqué pour se garer dans les rues alentours, compter 5 à 10 mn pour trouver une place fin juillet. Le village est en forte pente et il faut monter de belles rampes d'escalier quand on sort entre la maison et le village mais ça fait une ballade agréable dans les vieilles vennelles sauf pour les personnes ayant des problèmes de motricité. Nous sommes tout à fait satisfaits d'avoir séjourné là. C'est vrai qu'il ya des chats côté terrasse mais si on aime les animaux, c'est juste mignon. Et c'est vrai aussi que les murs sont fins si on veut mettre la musique forte mais on est en vacances et on n'est peut-être pas obligé de l'écouter trop forte, c'est à chacun-e de voir.

Très agréable et chaleureuse petite maison de vacances
Nous avons passé une très belle semaine à Port-Vendres, dans une petite maison claire, très propre, chaleureuse et joliment décorée. L'accueil de Virginie est parfait . Port Vendres est une jolie petite ville animée avec son port mais calme permettant repos et plaisir des ballades. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié ces vacances où nous avons eu la chance d'avoir un temps estival. Merci à Gareth et Irène pour nous mettre à disposition leur maison de vacances avec tout le matériel et accessoires y compris les aliments de base nous offrant confort et de se sentir un peu chez nous.

Ein gemütliches kleines Häuschen
Wir waren zu viert im kleinen Häuschen und es hat uns gut gafallen. In den engen Gassen gelegen mit Aussicht auf eine Teil des Hafens. Es war alles da was man so braucht, oder vielleicht mal brauchen könnte (Gewürze, Filtertüten, Spül- und Putzmittel, fertige Eiswürfel, Kühltasche...usw.) Wir hätten sicher ein bisschen besser geschlafen, wenn die Klimanlage funktioniert hätte - das wünschen wir unseren Nachmietern.

Very convenient, tidy, comfortable, traditional, small but perfectly formed house.
Port -Vendres is an attractive working port and, as such, has plenty to see and do without being too touristy. The house is set up above the harbour but it is a quick walk down the steps to reach bars, restaurants, shops and fresh fish outlets. The view from the small balcony is charming and allows you to enjoy the sun in the morning, the lights of the harbour and church at night, and spectacular lightning displays when there is a storm! The small front garden means lunch outside in the sun as it creeps up over the surrounding buildings. The neighbours couldn't be kinder or more helpful and the local semi-feral cats appreciate feeding and distant companionship. If you enjoy catering for yourself the kitchen is small but adequate though there could be a larger pasta saucepan and a tin opener, but maybe we couldn't find it. The owners are very helpful and provide literature to help you decide your excursions and days out. It is very easy to travel around as there is a regular 1€ bus that takes you up to Perpignan and the villages on the way. It is an easy walk to Coullioure, a must, and a slightly longer walk or bus to the beach of Paulilles, another must visit. With a car there are plenty of places to visit; up and down the coast and inland. Spain is within easy reach with Girona, Figueres and the monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes high above the Costa Brava. We were very lucky with the weather in October, a very pleasant 22-25 degrees, no rain, though locals were desperate for it so when a spectacular lightning storm with torrential rain arrived the night before we departed it was a welcomed event for them. There is so much to recommend this area and this accommodation, particularly in the quieter later part of the year. Check that attractions are open as the season is pretty much over but, be assured, if you are looking for something comfortable, homely and practical then you will be happy in this place. The upstairs mezzanine bedroom ceiling is very low and, when we were there, the lack of working air conditioning given the temperatures meant that it was hot to sleep. Beds were comfortable and everything was very clean and well presented. The arrangements and directions were clear and the deposit returned very promptly. Wifi would have been wonderful but the local restaurants and bars are very happy to provide you with access to theirs. If we went back to this area we woul definitely stay there again. Thank you for sharing it with us.

MERVEILLEUX SEJOUR
Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour à Port Vendres. Cette maison est agréable, on s'y sent bien. Très lumineuse, spacieuse et confortable, rien à redire. Petite vue agréable sur le port depuis le balconnet du séjour. Endroit très calme. Les commerces sont à quelques mètres et à 10 mn à pied d'une jolie crique où il fait bon se baigner et lézarder. Collioure en 30 mn à pied. Le sentier du littoral tout proche avec de belles randonnées (Cap Béar, fort St Elme...) sans obligé de prendre la voiture. Vraiment un plus. Pour les activités nautiques, il faut se rendre à Argelès (15 mn en voiture). Par contre, pour garer la voiture à Port Vendres, c'est un vrai sport surtout en août. Les moins, il en faut un peu mais pas trop. - Trop de chats errants dans la rue et sur la terrasse. Par ailleurs, terrasse très jolie mais pas envie de s'y installer. Dommage. - Une ventilation 24 h/24 h dans la salle de bains serait un plus étant donné qu'elle est en rez-de chaussée et les serviettes ont tendance à ne pas bien sécher. Très bon accueil d'Emmanuelle, très agréable et sympathique. Un vrai plaisir. Très bon contact avec les propriétaires. Nous retournerons dans cette location avec bonheur pour de prochaines vacances. Encore plein de choses à découvrir dans la région.

De merveilleuses vacances
La maison est idéalement située au coeur de Port-Vendres. Calme, lumineuse, fraîche, la maison est bien organisée et assez spatieuse pour accueillir une famille avec 2 ou 3 enfants. Conforme à la description, elle est très bien équipée palliant ainsi parfois à quelques oublis mineurs dans les valises. La région est magnifique et les activités nombreuses. Cela a été un véritable coup de coeur pour toute notre famille. Merci à M et MME LEWIS pour tous les détails logistiques qui nous ont été d'un grand secours (notamment les premiers jours) et pour l'accueil d'Emmanuelle
