    We really enjoyed our stay at this thoughtfully put together traditional gite with BBQ, pool and parking. This location is for those familiar with France, independent, and able to enjoy all of the area, coming home to s beautiful pool.

    We loved staying at Mas Cerise. The property was lovely and Sue and Steve were wonderful hosts. The care and love they put into their property is evident. We ate at their favorite restaurant in town which was only about 12 minutes away by car. While the pool was a tad too cool for a lengthy swim, the setting was beautiful. We felt fortunate to find this gem ~ far enough from town to be peaceful and quiet and close enough to get to easily get to town or the beautiful beach.

    The place is situated about 20 min walk (5 min drive) from the city center of Perpignan. The gite is well equipped and clean, and the shared pool (only with one other gite) is exceptional - it is big, lightly salted, the temperature is nice, and there is plenty of space around it and sufficient places to sit or lie in the shade beside it. The car can be parked within the compound which is locked - and feels very safe and not locked in. And the owners who live on site - Sue and Steve - are absolutely lovely people who are very helpful and welcoming. We'd love to come back!!!

    We had a fantastic family holiday at a lovely gite just outside Perpignan. Traveling with our 9-year-old and 10-month-old baby, we were warmly welcomed by the owners, Sue and Steve. From the moment we arrived, their hospitality made us feel right at home. The property itself exceeded our expectations. Our private apartment was clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated, showing great attention to detail. The outdoor saltwater pool was a highlight, offering a perfect place to relax and enjoy the sunshine. Sue and Steve were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. They were always available for a chat or to offer advice on local attractions and activities. Their genuine warmth and daily interactions made our stay even more enjoyable. We highly recommend this gite for a peaceful and delightful stay near Perpignan.

    We had a great stay. Very centrally located in the region with easy access to the beaches and mountains and at close (cycling) distance to Perpignan centre. A clean house, a supurb BBQ place and an extraordinary pool. And last, but definitely not least, the great and friendly hosts Sue and Steve. Would love to come back some day.

    Had a fantastic stay at the Stables, the courtyard with our own outside cooking area was great snd beautifully cared for by Steve and Sue (hosts). Without a doubt though the crowning glory is the pool, it truly was the cleanest, loviest pool we’ve ever used. Steve and Sue we’re available if needed for advice about anything but also very discreet and allowed privacy. We had a lovely holiday and feel like we made good friends with Sue and Steve. Will definitely stay there again if in that area and would recommend to anyone- you will not be disappointed.
