From the glorious produce available on the Quay Forgas to huge range of fantastically fresh fish: go shopping, light up the BBQ....enjoy!

More feedback summer 2007

In June, Charles O. from Norfolk stayed at the Garden Apartment and sent us this feedback and some great photos as well:

"All went well and we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. Although we like
being near the sea (for the air and the fresh fish) we¢re not particularly
after beaches so your lovely garden was an absolute bonus. We spent two or
three days just enjoying the sun, the shade and the view without going
out at all.

The tiny plums (or are they edible crabs) were tasty and we wished the figs had been big enough to eat. The house was very well equipped. The only thing I couldn't find were
secateurs because I would have given the roses a light prune to encourage
more flowering. There were occasional showers so nothing dried out but we
did put waste water on some of the newer shrubs.
We were delighted with Port Vendres and were very pleased we were there
rather than the neighboring costal villages. PV has the right scale and is
a busy working community that we found appealing.

Evelyne certainly is a treasure and full of information. She arrived with
her daughter just after we arrived and she was also there when whe left so
I gave her the keys directly. She was very tolerant of our version of
French and it was good to talk at some length. Evelyne, the wine and
flowers that we found on arrival, and your written information all made us
feel most welcome."

Summer 2007 latest feedback

Eleanor H. (Germany/UK) - stayed in the Garden Apartment for 9 days in mid-May and gave us this feedback:

"Hello Karla
We had a wonderful time in Port Vendres, and are in fact considering trying to raise the funds to buy somewhere nearby. Port Vendres is a verypleasant place, and we found it had a very real air about it, not pretentious at all and very much alive.
The apartment was great, it was lovely to have a bottle of wine brought in
by Evelyne and some flowers. She was fantastic and very helpful. There
was everything we needed, I was delighted to find some of that wonderful hot
smoked paprika in the handy spices box - not a lot of people know
about it and it told us a deal about your cooking habits when you're there!
Fabulous."
