Autumn Guests 2009

I just received a very detailed review of the Garden Apartment from a Swiss guest who spent the 2nd week of October with us. This gives a good description of what you can expect to find here:

Dear Karla,

we had marvellous holidays in Port Vendres!!! It was quite windy

(Tramontan), but sunny.

The flat is extraordinary charming!!! We liked the way you designed it and

how you combined the colours!!! There are so many good details!! It's really

stimulating! The bathroom for instance: it/he is so small, but with the

mirrors and the black stone it looks so nice. And all you need is there.

The bedrooms are very practical and each has it's own character, because of

the colors and the books

The kitchen is really to live in! We liked, that there are pots and pans

like at home (good ones and nice looking ones); plates, cups, mugs in

special colors and shapes and good knives and forks and spoons. It was a

pleasure to have all those things.

It was an impression like staying at the house of friends.

And it was great to have such a good selection of books. Next time, I would

take less books with me, because I found several, I would have liked to

read.

And it was great, to have breakfast in the garden or sit there, reading a

book. We picked some figs, bears, apples and grapes. Delicious!

We enjoyed sitting on the left place or in the very comfortable chairs on

the right side.

Thank you for the roses and the wine. It was very nice, to be welcomed that

way!

Your recommendations were super!! We bought fish in the fishmarket and went

to the restaurants "La Tramontan" (I never had such a well-prepared fish like

here before!).

It was very good and interesting, to live in the village itself, in a

"normal" environment and not in a holiday resort. It was good to have such a

short way to the bakeries! To see the huge ships..... from abroad.....

The girls often went to the beach. We also went on some wonderful walks,

along the coast in both directions.

The little book with proposals of walks we left in the flat.

We enjoyed our staying there!!!! And we loved the flat and the garden!!! And the surrounding area! Thanks that you answered all the questions, I had.

Best wishes from all of us!
Ulrike

P.S.: We forgot the cheese (very good one from the pyreenees; we bought it

in the market in Collioure) and yoghurts in the fridge.....
