Fantastic authentic rental, real taste of France. Had been to Collioure several times but stayed in a hotel. Staying in this lovely apartment gave a real taste of the "real" Collioure. Especially enjoyed the guy taking his donkeys for a walk in the evening down the road. Perfectly located, not the biggest apartment I've ever been in but absolutely fab.Would love to come back |

Guestbook for 30 Rue du Soleil
Your apartment was lovely for our children, so close to the beach for sandcastles and playing in the sea. The merry-go-round will never be forgotten. Collioure is a dream - We will definitely return.
D Chambers Oxford,
As a frustrated amateur artist I found this holiday exceptional. We stopped at Figueras on our way to Collioure and the Dali museum is superb. Collioure itself is a feast of art and we found the whole trip greatly inspiring.

Collioure is a foodies heaven. It was wonderful to be able to buy fresh produce from the village market and then create an authentic dish using your cookery books in the flat.
When we were fed up with cooking we found some great restaurants.
Nice flat, will return.

Bettye and I had a wonderful time in your apartment and in Collioure. It was fabulous. We really do hope to come back next summer.
We loved our experience... the neat French apartment, the fact that we could walk everywhere, the friends we made, the beautiful seascapes and the historic landmarks as well as the blue mediterranean. I took a million pictures... and we did some painting! Of course the wine was excellent.
