"Mailly" is a "4 stars" apartment in a one of the oldest house of the village, located on the front of the sea, at 100 m from the two largest beaches of the village. You will enjoy two larges bedrooms with one on the second level with its private large terrasse with view on tilish mediterranean roofs of the old village. The lounge and the dining room have an unique view over the bay. There is one toilet and bathroom at each level to provide enough confort and privacy.
My wife and I travel a lot and frequently use VRBO to find unique, well-looked after, welcoming properties. This is a wonderful apartment in an unbelievably beautiful location in the old town of Collioure, France. The balcony overlooks the beach. It is situated in a traffic-free zone of the old city. All amenities needed for a wonderful stay are accessible with a less than 5-minute walk to the supermarket, the tourist office, wine stores and mutliple excellent restaurants. The host Bernard Desclaux speaks English perfectly. He was there to greet us as arranged and gave us the keys. He gave us excellent advice about restaurants and where to find things that we needed. He also gave us very helpful advice about how to ride on the Little Yellow Train into the Pyrenees which is a "must-do" 1-day's adventure when in Collioure. The people in Collioure, especially shop and restaurant staff, are kind, polite, and very tolerant of our poor French - actually most spoke good English. The apartment also povides some fitness training because it is accessed by climbing two steep flights of stairs, which was no problem for us except when arriving with 3 very heavy cases. The facilities were clean, well-supplied and well maintained, including bottled water and a bottle of white wine to welcome us. The ambience of the apartment is that of a charming family home. Bernard told us that he was born there. If there was a 5-star category, we would award it to this apartment and host.
We loved this apartment. The view and location were unbeatable, making us want to eat all our meals in (because what could be better?), the apartment was clean and very well equipped, check in and out was easy, Bernard was kind and accommodating, and the rooms were perfect. Was a wonderful stay in Collioure.
We had a lovely time in Collioure. Bernard was a great host. He was very accommodating with our late arrival and had some great suggestions for dinner and sightseeing. I would highly recommend the apartment though not sure if it sleeps 6. There is a double bed and two twin beds. It was comfortable for 4.
We were astonished by both our host, Bernard - gracious and witty and generous to a fault! and his apartment - spacious, beautifully situated, filled with art, staring out at the castle and the bay. We were enchanted by the whole stay, and didnât want to leave. I only wish we would have an opportunity to return!
This apartment is wonderful! The balconies face the sea and the promenade, the view is beautiful. Itâs roomy and well-furnished, and is very comfortable. Seriously, we were the envy of everyone strolling the waterfront!
This is the second time we stayed in this flat. The first was five years ago, for one week. We loved it so much we stayed three weeks this time. The flat is fully equipped, clean, spacious, and comfortable. There is nothing as perfect as sitting on one of the two living room balconies overlooking the beach and harbor, whether people-watching, enjoying wine, cheese, and baguettes from one of the many local shops, or trying your hand at a watercolor painting of the famous bell tower. The upstairs deck off the master bedroom is wonderful for enjoying a nightcap while watching the sun go down over the village rooftops. Trust me, there is not a better combination of view, location, and value to be found in Collioure! To top it all off, the hosts are beautiful people, warm and charming.
This apartment has character and is perfectly placed to enjoy the sea, the town and for travel. The hosts are helpful and kind. It has all you need in terms of equipment for the kitchen etc as well as being beautifully decorated with art and antique crockery, attractive linens and so on. We were quite hot in the night at first, fans are provided, but soon became accustomed. The view over the town and sea is better than any TV! Thank you for a lovely stay
A real gem - in a superb location overlooking one of Collioureâs beaches and in easy walking distance to all of the attractions, museums and galleries. The private, secure garage is a great feature too, with enough room to park a large, long estate car! The host was very attentive to our needs and made us feel at home from the beginning of our stay (despite us being held up in traffic making us 2 hours late!)
Bernardâs apartment is a magical place. The apartment is spacious, comfortable, well stocked, and very clean. The location and views are exceptional. No better location in Collioure. Bernard was a pleasure and personally met us to show us the apartment, advise on local eateries, etc. Canât say enoughâŠother than we hope to return soon!
Mooi appartement, direct aan de baai van Collioure, met uitzicht op strand en zee vanuit de woonkamer. Balkon aan de voorzijde om in de zon te zitten, uit de wind wanneer die vanaf het land waait. Goed uitgerust huis, alleen de wifi/internet laat te wensen over (te traag).
