There are four lovely restaurants in Cerbere - our personal favourite is the Hotel Dorade which is right in the centre of the village. We always walk down and back when we eat there - Google Maps tells me this property is 2 kms from our house so it is incorrect to state that the amenities are 5 kms away unless of course you are referring to our neighbouring village Banyuls sur Mer which is bigger and livelier than Cerbere. There are also a Casino supermarket, two boulangeries, a bank, a gift shop and fast food outlets as well as two diving schools in Cerebere, We state very clearly in our property description that the fourth room is linked to the third bedroom via a wet room. It has bunk beds and is suitable only for children - perhaps you didn't read this. Everyone who has stayed at our house comments on how well equipped it is - a true home from home. I understand the only thing you were unable to find in the kitchen was a salad box - we do not use these widely in the UK - but I have of course now bought one. The property description also says that the air conditioning is in the three bedrooms downstairs. With huge windows upstairs in the lounge/diner we do not feel air conditioning is necessary upstairs. You are the only guest to have only given us 2 stars.

Delighted that you enjoyed your stay at the villa.

Thanks for your kind comments about the villa. As you say Cerbere is a traditional, uncommercialized french fishing village with a handful of bars and restaurants. Equally the lively resorts of the Cote Vermeille are only a short drive away if you are looking for a night out. Glad you enjoyed your holiday.

Nous ne sommes pas tout à fait sûrs de ce que vous entendez par l’altitude. La villa se trouve sur une colline à environ 100 mètres au-dessus du niveau de la mer, ce qui nous donne une vue spectaculaire à 180 degrés sur la mer. Vous êtes le premier invité à commenter la literie mais nous allons certainement revoir cela pendant la saison hivernale.

Nous avons maintenant changé les matelas qui suscitaient des inquiétudes. Les nouveaux matelas ont une garantie de fabricant de 10 ans, nous sommes donc confiants qu’ils seront très confortables.

Merci pour votre avis. Nous aimons aussi la région - elle a tellement de variété de choses à faire, que vous aimiez marcher, faire du vélo, de la plongée, manger et boire ou simplement vous asseoir sur l’une des nombreuses belles plages. Tellement heureux que vous avez apprécié votre séjour avec nous.

Tellement ravi que vous ayez apprécié votre séjour dans notre villa - merci pour vos aimables commentaires. Nous aimons la paix et la tranquillité et les vues spectaculaires sur la mer.

Thank you for your comments and I'm pleased to hear you loved the location and the house. During the last year we have had to deal not only with the COVID virus problems but also a change in house manager after 8 years. I am delighted that Stephanie was really helpful - I understand that she bought you new kitchen equipment as soon as you asked. Normally we would visit the house up to four times a year to ensure that everything is ok and to replace anything that needs to be but with the travel restrictions we have not been able to visit since last July. We have already purchased new bedding and equipment for the house and are hoping to be able to deliver it very soon.

C'est parfait - je suis tres contente que vous avez passer des bonnes vacances chez nous!

Delighted to hear you enjoyed the villa. We look forward to welcoming you back.

Delighted that you enjoyed the peace as much as we do and we look forward to welcoming you back next year. The views are mesmerising and it is quite hard to stop staring out to sea!

I am delighted you enjoyed your stay and particularly the peace and tranquillity of the location as well as the views. Happy New Year!

Delighted you enjoyed your stay and the spectacular sea views. The area is traditionally Catalan and most people speak French, Spanish and Catalan. I hope you found the information pack I sent you helpful with places to visit, markets and restaurants. Thank you for your kind comments.

So delighted you enjoyed your stay and love the house as much as we do!

So delighted you had a great holiday and that all the information I sent you was helpful - its so interesting to hear other people's perspective. Our entire family, children and grandchildren just love it out there so we are always pleased when other families have enjoyed it as much as we do. In all the years we've been there I've never swam out to that platform from the beach at Cerbere so I'll definitely give that a go next time I'm there! We also used the Euro 1 bus when we were there this summer which made a day trip to Collioure so much easier than trying to find parking. Thank you for your review.
