Rates adjusted to length of stay and part of month and year. Weekly rates within the several-weeks periods cited will vary somewhat, with the 'warmest' weeks closer to season generally somewhat higher than for example end October November and February/March. Competitive rates, clearly below local price level offered via agents. Change overday Saturday.
The former house owners were passionate divers, and said the conditions down from the house were unique for diving. (They therefore chose to settle down in another house in the area)
Art lovers
Collioure is famous for its fauvist period, and its numerous art galleries. Artists from all of Europe settle down to find inspiration in Collioure. One hour drive to Figueres where you find the Salvador Dali museum.
Barcelona
Barcelona with all its attractions is a nice train or car tour of less then 2 hours away. From Scandinavia we come by plane to Barcelona, and then rented car from airport.
Guest Book
- We were the first guests to profit during Easter 2004 from this charming house, at this marvellous place. The area has everything to offer, and how wonderful have this ''natural park'' area down to the beach directly from the house. Fam Helge Ole Bergesen
