5 Quai Pierre Forgas 66660 Port-Vendres FRANCE

Please note that the apartment is strictly non-smoking, but pets are welcome!

Our large flat is the entire second floor of an old building on the quay of this lovely old deep-water port, with lots of restaurants, shops, etc, immediately to hand. The position and view are literally unique! The listed facade of the building, completely refurbished and repainted in March 2007, is one of the most photographed sights in Port-Vendres. Unusually for a second-floor flat, because Port-Vendres rises steeply behind the quay we have a terrace of about 20 square metres at the back, reached by a short raised walkway! On the terrace are a table and chairs as well as a small barbecue.

View from lounge of the apartment

There are three double bedrooms - the master one with a dressing room and en-suite shower room, including a toilet, with a French (of course) window overlooking the quay.

The other two bedrooms are situated at the back of the flat; one has a double bed and is equipped with an en-suite shower room, including toilet. The other bedroom has twin beds and a shower and washbasin, but no toilet. There is a separate toilet off the entrance hall.

Plan of the apartment

All the bedrooms have reversible air-conditioning (hot for winter; cold for summer). Each bedroom has colours which are reflected in the bathrooms, the lights, the soft furnishings, and the decorations. The master bedroom has fittings of a turquoise blue which echoes the decorative tiles on the facade of the building, while the other two use a darker blue and yellow respectively in the same way. The study is situated between the two rear bedrooms and is separated from the entrance hall by a curtain. It has a "clic-clac" sofa - convertible into a double bed, for occasional adult use or for children. There is a door from the study to a walkway leading behind the flat to the terrace. The large (35 square metre), air-conditioned lounge/dining room has two French windows overlooking the quay, and incorporates a fully-equipped kitchen - oven, ceramic hob, dishwasher, fridge, microwave, etc. The dining table has seating for 8.

In the lounge is a television and DVD/CD/Radio system, two three-seater sofas, easy chairs, pouffes, a coffee table and bookcase, with a "wood-effect" electric fire to brighten those occasional grey days.

The utility room houses the immersion heater and a sink, and also contains a freezer, washing machine, tumble drier, iron, ironing board and vacuum cleaner.

We have several French-English electric plug converters, so you do not need to bring any of these, and we also have a baby's collapsible travel cot.
