We were 3 adults on holiday, husband, wife, and adult daughter. We enjoyed staying in the house. It had many very good features but a number of drawbacks. The kitchen was excellent. It appeared to have been updated recently and the equipment - cooker - fridge- dishwasher etc were excellent. There was a large quantity of nice plates etc. and enough glasses to hold a party! It seems petty to mention that there were only 3 coffee mugs - but we had to keep washing them!
The major problem we had was with the lay-out of the property, and the fact that the "end room" (a studio with mezzanine bed) was unusable because we were there during the June heatwave. That area had no airconditioning - and the bed on the 'shelf' was a couple of metres from the exposed roof tiles and was baking hot. We closed the door into that area as it was unusable. The airconditioning in the other two rooms worked very well. We found that the sofa in the sitting area was a fold-up bed and that was where our adult daughter slept. It meant that we had no sitting area in the living room/kitchen and she had to access the bathroom through our bedroom.
Overall the property was very clean and attractively decorated. The garden/courtyard area is lovely with shelter from trees and umbrella, but during the heatwave it was too hot to eat there. We had very good contact and information from the owner prior to our departure. We had no contact at all with the "managing/cleaning company" - the key was left for us and they were not in touch. The washbasin in the bathroom was slow to clear when we arrived and gradually became almost blocked. We were helped by the neighbour who contacted the owner's father and the problem was quickly dealt with. Collioure is beautiful and the location of the house is great - although up a steep hill which we knew about - and there are great views across the countryside. It is within easy walking distance to the town and beach and we swam every day. Our difficulties about the house were compounded by the heatwave which was unfortunate in mid June. Overall a lovely property in a good location, - would be perfect for a couple.
