The property was even better than described, the host was very helpful, she had thought of everything to make anyone’s stay first class, I cannot praise this villa enough, it was an exceptional high standard, Carmen the host was very helpful, I would recommend this villa if you want a clean modern property, really nice pool, great location for visiting the surrounding area, will definitely be returning if possible, five star review all round from me

Spent a week here with my family in mid July and wanted to stay for another week ! Modern, clean, private and secure. The pool and outside areas are perfect, I highly recommend the property and definitely book to return.. Set in a quiet residential area less than 10 mins drive from St Cyprien beach.. there are choices of supermarkets all close by .. the perfect holiday home ! Carmen the host was friendly and welcoming.

Lovely week at the property pool was good very well maintained

What a great find! This comfortable, modern, easy-care villa was all we hoped for, and more! The owner, Carmen, was very helpful (the WiFi decided not to work just as we arrived & she did everything she could to ensure it was sorted out as soon as possible!). There were fans provided for the lounge and the bedrooms - which made sleeping much easier! The beds were very comfortable, with plenty of cupboard space in the rooms. There are two bathrooms: an "en suite" and a main bathroom - neither of which has a WC: the single WC is centrally situated in the main hallway. The décor is stylish and unfussy. You step outside from the open plan lounge/dining/kitchen area onto the shaded patio with in-built barbecue, which is fantastic for al-fresco dining. The kitchen hob uses bottled gas - we weren't aware we had to turn this on at the bottle in the cupboard first - and is lit using matches. Once this was established, we had no problems with cooking. The garden, which is on three sides of the house, has lawn to the side & back of the house, plus a small patio area at the back, with the main bedroom French Windows opening onto this. Beautiful high Oleander bushes in full flower formed a fragrant hedge around the property, with a fragrant creeping white jasmine climbing up the side of the barbecue chimney at the front of the house. The Pool was excellent: quite warm, so not too much of a shock to the system first thing in the morning; it is surrounded by fencing with a child-proof gate with no access to children unless allowed by an adult. The quiet ambience of the house & garden are enhanced by views of the Pyrenees from the patio. The house is situated on a newish development on the outskirts of Alénya: which could be a little confusing. A map of the village from the Tabac (a few minutes walk away - which is also a "Dépôt de Pain" for your breakfast Baguette) allowed us to find our way easily to the centre and out to the beaches etc. The village centre is an 8-10 minute walk, with a wonderful Bistro (Tapas Bar), a Pizza Bar and a takeaway Pizzeria, as well as a Wine Bar (Cave) which has wine-tastings every Sunday morning throughout the summer. There is a bakery opposite the Town Hall (and others elsewhere further on in the village towards Canet) as well as a very useful Spar Shop which opens on a Sunday evening from 17:30- 21:00 for those last-minute forgotten essentials. There is also an ATM at the Post Office next door. We'd love a return visit!
