This is a lovely holiday house, with lovely views in a stunning part of France. The house is spacious and very well equipped, with everything you need for a self catering holiday provided (I even made fresh tomato soup for my daughter who was ill with an ear infection). Full size fridge and freezer, essential in the high temperatures. Beds are super comfy and huge, and the bathroom is lovely. It is lovely to have pool towels included, this isn't always the case and it is really helpful if you are flying. The outside space is absolutely fantastic. The pool is a great size, no problem for 6 adults playing vigorous ball games - and there is even a little ledge all the way round so hopping out to retrieve the ball is a doddle! The patio area is right next to the pool, meaning all the family were close together when outside, which was really nice. The covered "lounge" area was a winner in the high temperatures, it meant that the family members who would normally retreat inside could stay out and be social. Linda, who is on hand if you need her, was really helpful when we needed to work out how to visit the Dr. The village is nice to stroll round, although it no longer has a permanent bar, but it isn't far to La Priere campsite for a beer and a pizza. This is a lovely area for days out, be it to visit Perpignan, Collioure and Ceret, the gorges for swimming or just to drive and look at the stunning views and Cathar heritage. We loved it and will return.
Everything about the house was great-it felt very welcoming without being intimidating. The beds were really comfy, the shower was brilliant and the pool was excellent. The views from the garden were rather spectacular and the village of Paziols was tidy and well-kept. Having an English-French speaking contact in the village was also rather good in case of any problems or queries-all in all an excellent holiday.
The whole family had a great time here. The house is well equipped, is in a peaceful, cul-de-sac location and allows for great days out whether its going to the beach, a Cathar castle, Perpignan, or just a tour of the local villages. The pool is fantastic as it is heated and was actually the main attraction for the kids! Swimming in the local river and Gorges recommended too. A special word also for Linda, the agent, who was always patiently on hand if required. Thank you for a great couple of weeks.
Les bons points sont la piscine chauffée, la terrasse et le barbecue. Le mauvais point c'est qu'il y a une TV certes mais pas de chaines de télé! Il n'y a qu'internet donc pas top.. Nous avons tout de même passé deux belles semaines dans cette maison où il ne manque rien !! A refaire, avec plaisir... My Response Trés heureux vous avez apprécié votre séjour à la maison et apprécié la piscine et le barbecue. Désolé, vous ne pouviez pas accéder au téléviseur, notre femme de ménage aurait été heureuse de vous montrer comment l'aviez-vous informé. Nous attendons avec impatience de vous accueillir à nouveau et à votre famille à l'avenir.
We rented the villa for a few days to attend a wedding nearby. The owners were very helpful in letting us stay for just a few nights rather than the usual rental period. When we arrived we found a wonderfully equipped home, in a very quiet residential neighborhood. The pool is heated and has a large patio area to relax on. The villa is maintained on the owners behalf by a very helpful local lady who speaks excellent english, We only had a couple of days to explore the area but did manage to get down to Collioure, which is a quaint fishing port near the Spanish border (about 75km away). There are very good restaurants here. Paziols is quiet with only one shop and restaurant in Paziols itself, but there are many places to visit in the area with other restaurants, and it looked to be good walking country. We would recommend the villa to friends visiting the area with no hesitation.
This house is based in the mainly residential village of Paziols. However, there are a large number of British ex pats living in the village, including Linda the Housekeeper. Firstly Linda, she is amazing. She came to clean the pool every few days and offered so much more. In particular she was incredibly helpful giving lots of local insight and she went above and beyond coming with us to the doctor when our 7 month old daughter suffered an allergic reaction (my usually OK French disappeared with my panic!). The house is very clean and well equipped, with pool toys, towels and everything you could possibly need in the kitchen including a lovely coffee maker. Guests leave behind their non-perishables so there will probably be some tea bags and pasta when you arrive. There is no supermarket in Paziols. There is a small convenience shop which is open in the morning and afternoon, closed Sundays and at lunchtimes. The fresh produce here is wonderful. There is a slightly bigger Spar in Tuchan but if you want a Super-U type shop do your shopping in Perpignan before you drive in. The castle at Queribus is a must but is very precarious if you have vertigo and it gets very cold at the top. The village has two wine merchants, we only visited the one next to the cafe - Domaine de Roudene - that was fun. No English spoken and no sales pitches, just lots of wine to try. We came away with a few different bottles, some desert wine, some cheaper wine and a lovely more premium bottle of red that I am still dre4aming about. There are lots of lovely higher-end restaurants in Cucagnan. The campsite between Tuchan and Paziols does good cheap eats, pizzas etc. If you stay here you will have a wonderful holiday.Recommended for: Families with Young Children, Girls Getaway, Families with Teenagers.
