The house is big, on two levels with terraces at front and back. The house is charming , old French style and clean. We were a party of 6, including 3 kids aged 8,7 and 3. The kids had lots of fun on back terrace running around. Many a pleasant evening dinner there. It's very peaceful and lovely. Millions of stars at night. Not a noise. It's a 15 min walk from Collioure (with 3 kids so maybe slower pace for us!) The walk was a bit off putting coming back as it's going slightly uphill. Collioure is very busy in the summer, impossible to park anywhere so you have to walk. We shopped at the hypermarché Intermarché on Argeles , 15min drive. We missed a boulangerie super close, there was one but again 15 min walk there and back. There is everything you need in the house, cooking utensils, Baby cot if you need one. Be prepared for mosquitoes! Everywhere in town at dusk. Collioure has 3 small 'town' beaches, very small and crowded. If you want big beaches, it's a 10 min drive. Collioure is full of restaurants , but you might need to book or go there early if you are a big group as the good ones are packed!
