About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Private sunny villa with large heated pool, air-conditioning and river access.

Spacious detached villa built on the site of an historic mill in a tranquil location right by the river Tech yet close to the region's many attractions. With tiled floors, open beams and air-conditioning, the villa offers spacious, comfortable accommodation for up to 10 people. It has a private entrance and driveway.

The housed gardens are well laid out and, as you open the gates the property you immediately feel like you are on holiday.

There are 5 very spacious bedrooms, all designed to a very high specification. The en-suite shower rooms have large head power showers. The bath sheets are fluffy. The beds are extremely comfortable with lovely crisply ironed white linen. We provide plump feather pillows. Every effort has been made to make the rooms feel welcoming and relaxing.

In this region a lot of life is lived outside. There is somewhere to sit all day long to make the most of the sun or to find shade. Breakfast can be taken on the large balcony overlooking the river. Lunch is perfect in the shaded pergola in the garden. Around the pools there are wooden recliners so you can soak up the sun. The large ceramic tiled pool is a particular highlight.

The beautiful charming town of Ceret with its artistic heritage and spectacular Saturday market is just 5 minutes away. There are cafes on every corner, restaurants in every square; and frequent music and dancing in the streets.

There are plenty of local walks at different levels of effort. They offer wonderful views across the valley to the Mediterranean or up to the Canigou and Pyrenees beyond.

The villa is 10 minutes from the Spanish border, 30 minutes from the Mediterranean(Collioure, Argeles, Banyuls etc.) and 90 minutes from Barcelona. Skiing in winter is 90 minutes away. The region offers endless cultural and recreational facilities and the sun shines nearly every day of the year.

Fly to Perpignan (35 minutes away), Girona(50) or Barcelona(90).

Family trip
Had a lovely stay at the property. The communication was excellent and any replies were always prompt. The house was very well situated between lots of great places to visit such as Ceret and Collioure. Very nicely furnished and set up perfectly for our stay. Thank you for a memorable vacation

Great holiday villa
We had a lovely stay here in Ceret. House was nice and the pool was great. The kids absolutely loved playing in the nearby river. One thing to note: the 3 lower ground bedrooms are only accessible via an outside staircase (they are not accessible internally from the main house). Whilst we found this a little tricky with our younger kids it was great for the grandparents. Overall we would definitely recommend this property.

Great house in a superb setting
This our third time staying at Stephen's house and we had as good a time as always. The setting is wonderful and facilities are great, easily accommodating our party of ten with five self contained bedrooms and bathrooms. Check-in /check-out is seemless and Dominique even bought us some supplies given the late hour of our flight. Highly recommend.

Fabulous place, just a couple of niggles
Firstly, this is a truly lovely location and our extended family of 10, aged 12 to 83 had a wonderful week here. We'd happily return. Most special is the access to a secluded river beach with one of the most perfect swimming holes we've come across and often only ourselves there. Going down at night and swimming under the stars was magical. In mid August the fig tree below the back balcony was in fruit - delicious! Varied and flexible outdoor seating all around the house was great, though there are actually no tables set up for ten - so we kept moving the tables and chairs from the back balcony, which are really light so easy to do. Solar lit lanterns added to the atmosphere. A nice detail: lots of multiple plug adapters, several with UK inputs, so no problem bringing UK electricals. Fixtures and fittings largely as described. Having stayed in some other similar priced and advertised places I'd say this was more 'homey' rather than modern, sleek and swish. We liked that. The surrounding area is great - something for everyone within an easy drive. Walking into the centre of Ceret will take 35 minutes. We drove in a couple times and managed to park in the centre - not easily in August, but we managed. Our niggles: The house does actually get quite warm in mid summer, and there are currently only three fans for five bedrooms and the main room. The mosquitos are hungry so leaving bedroom windows open feels risky - only one room has a mosquito screen. It would be easy to solve this. We're not the first people to mention it, so hopefully the owners will provide a fan for each room (and/or fly screens throughout). The mattresses in the twin room on the main floor are rather worn, with uncomfortable springs that we heard and felt every time we moved, and I'm a slim, relatively light woman. Given the emphasis in the description on high end bedrooms, this was unexpected. The shower fitting in the master bedroom is (getting) quite stiff. At 83 my parents aren't particularly arthritic, but several times had to ask for help to get it on or off. The owners are clearly putting a lot of work into this property and so I expect they will easily solve these little things in which case it would be easily worth 5 stars. For elderly travellers - the only room on the ground floor has a bathroom with shower over the bath. You need to be able to manage stairs or getting into and out of a bath to have a shower. Just for info.

Lovely villa with fantastic pool on the outskirts of Ceret
The villa was lovely with a good sized pool. It was exceptionally clean and well presented with a range of seating and dining areas. Three of the bedrooms are accessed from an external staircase and 4 are ensuite each with lovely fluffy towels. You do have to take ypur own beach towels. The villa was very well stocked with a range of essentials which made self catering simple, particularly given the villa’s proximity to the supermarket. We were there during a heatwave and felt the villa would benefit from air-conditioning or ceiling fans. The fans within the main house struggled to impact on the heat both within the bedrooms and the main living area. The housekeeper was very welcoming and exceptionally helpful. There was wonderful access to the river directly from the house which was lovely and cool during the heatwave. The walk to Ceret takes approximately 25-30 mins along a cycle route/pathway. Ceret hes a number of restaurants and cafe/bars, be aware you really need to book if you plan to go out for an evening meal.

Très moyen
L’annonce indiquait lieu ceret, mais elle est dans la commune de Reynès. Maison sale. 3 chambres en sous sous-sol très forte odeur d’humidité, et les salles de bain en mauvais état. Une des chambres en sous sol à une porte vitrée sans rideau ce qui nous réveillait au levé du jour. Lave linge très mauvaise odeur joints moisis. Plaque du four dégoûtante. Maison pour 10 personnes mais non équipée en table extérieure pour 10 personnes. Matelas transat très sales. Chaises de jardin en très mauvais état et sales. Location très chère pour la qualité et la prestation de la maison. Nous ne recommandons pas cette maison.

Great property!
Fantastic property with nice garden and private swimming pool. Nice river close by, with the possibility of cooling off on hot days. Nice hiking terrain just outside the property. The house is fully equipped with everything you need for your holiday, except for beach towels to use by the swimming pool. The reason for four instead of five stars is the bedrooms in the basement without air conditioning. There should have been mosquito nets on the doors there, for the possibility of ventilation. Thank you Stephen and Sarah and bring my greetings to your very helpful housekeeper.

Très bel endroit pour de très belles vacances
Nous sommes venus en famille ,avec ma femme nos trois enfants et nos deux petits enfants . La villa possède tout ce que vous souhaitez pour passer d'excellentes vacances en famille . Les deux chambres les plus chaudes sont climatisées ce qui est bien utile dans cette région , il y a beaucoup d'espace sans parler de la rivière qui est au bas de la propriété .Très bel accueil par la personne qui est responsable de la maison La region est formidable par son climat et la côte est a découvrir en randonnée le long du littoral .Le seul et unique problème est les moustiques qui peuvent êtres certains jours très voraces .La maison est bien protégée par des produits anti-moustiques mais n'oubliez pas de vous protéger a l'extérieur .Ceci fait vous passerez un excellent séjour . Le centre ville est a environ 35 mn a pied et le Lidl a 1mn .L'environnement est calme avec principalement le bruit de la rivière .Tout l'équipement nécessaire est là dont une plancha et 1 bbq a côté de la piscine , une télé avec une apple TV box bien utile pour visionner ses photos de la journée . Nous n'avons manqué de rien sauf quelques petites cuillères , celles fournies sont des cuillères a entremet , parfait pour les gourmands moins pour le café , un détail .
