A lovely seaside flat in a lovely town with inspiring sea views upstairs or down!
A great 5 day stay here not in “high” season. Although it looked pretty busy to us it was not hard to see why. Just a picture postcard place. A public holiday, an exhibition or fair at the Château combined with the school holidays certainly bolstered the population for the quiet part of the year! Chez De le Monde lived up to our expectations. Easy to follow instructions and directions had us off on the right foot from the get go. The accommodation was well appointed with everything you needed to have a comfortable stay and oh that view! You can fall in love with that right there. We have been travelling in Europe for weeks and self accommodation is our preference. None better than this. Perfect for 2 people. Eat in, eat out, shopping, site seeing and just plain relaxing, no problem. All the home comforts in a cute space. It’s pencilled in on our must return list.

Great location, flat has some issues.
The flat is in an ideal location for the beach and shops/bars etc of the Faubourg area of town. Yes it is noisy at all times but that's the compromise for the location and view.
Couple of things that disappointed - the bathroom description states 'large bath and shower'. Unless you are under 5 feet tall this is not the case. Contortionists might be okay but we have strained necks and shoulders. Secondly, the description clearly says that there are English channels available on the TV. We could only find one - the rest were pay to view.
If you tightened up your description we'd not have had these few niggles!
Overall a great holiday. Collioure is a favourite of ours and Chez de le monde is a good option, any more than two adults would be a stretch though!
Très bonne communication avec l'hôteRépond vite et est très cordialEmplacement superAppartement atypique en duplex, avec multiples options ... ventilateurs, lit parapluie, extincteur, jeu et chaise de plage, petit lavaiselle, lave linge ... Très propre ! Superbe vue !Le seul inconvénient je dirais que c'est le passage des éboueurs tous les jours à 6h du matin juste en dessous de la fenêtre (de ce que j'ai compris c'est juste en période estivale)
Cet appartement est très bien placé mise a part les camions poubelles trie et verre en dessous. Il est joli arypique et chaleureux, dans l annonce il devrait mentionner que la chambre et la sdb sont en bas, pour une famille avec un enfant en bas age cela peu être important. Sinon il y a tous ce qu il faut! Il est situé pile en face de la plage et et l esplanade donc c est super!

Idéalement placé et très bien agencé. Très propre et agréablement meublé.
Collioure très beau village. Le temps n était pas de la partie malheureusement
Très bel appartement idéalement situé face à la baie de Collioure, très bien aménagé et très agréable. Seul bémol, des travaux tout le long, de notre séjour en face de nos fenêtres, mais le propriétaire n'y peut rien Pour la douche, mieux vaut ne pas être trop grand. Sinon tout était parfait, c'était notre deuxième séjour. Nous pensons y revenir. ..

Séjour avec un bilan mitigé
Collioure est magnifique. Nous sommes partagés pour ce séjour . Les points forts ,emplacement au cœur de ma ville avec une vue splendide . Logement très propre et bien équipé. Bonne communication avec l hôte, explication claire pour l installation. Maintenant nous
Un appartement très agréable dans un emplacement à double tranchant !
Les prestations de cet appartement sont excellentes, il est très bien équipé, si ce n'est le canapé lit dans lequel on ne peut définitivement pas dormir. La vue est magnifique et en soit il pourrait être merveilleusement bien placé mais (gros) bémol, tous les containers de déchets (papier, verres...) à nos pieds.
Et en tant que ville touristique, les camions poubelles passent toutes les nuits entre 4h30 et 7h30, (environ 3 passages). Oreilles sensibles s'abstenir !
Bel appartement. Bien équipé et propre. Bonne communication avec l hote. Toutes commodites proches et vue magnifique.
Pas possible pour personne à mobilite réduite.
Parfaitement située face à la plage et la vue sur le Chateau Royal et Collioure, excellent appartement très bien décoré et agencé. Seul bemol, la douche, il ne faut pas faire 1,80 m. Sinon, je reviendrai avec plaisir....
Chambre et pièce de vie lumineuses, décor authentique, clair et chaleureux, dans une vieille maison aux murs de pierre, face à la "carte postale" de Collioure (la mer et l'église Ste Marie des Anges).
Il y a tout l'équipement nécessaire (plage, courses, ménage, salle de bain...), idéal si on voyage sans voiture.
Si voiture : bien prévoir de s'abonner aux parkings (uniquement avec horodateurs, sans garantie de trouver une place si forte affluence).
Du logement, on fait tout à pied : marché, shopping, balades dans la nature...
Nous avons passé 10 jours dépaysants et très agréables ce printemps.
L’hébergement est simple mais agréable, avec cependant quelques petits problèmes de propreté dans la cuisine : couverts, égouttoir, ustensiles, grille pain qui ont du être (re)lavés à notre arrivée.
La vue est magnifique et l’emplacement super ….. sauf à Noël car le village de Noël et ses manèges se trouvent juste devant ! Sans parler de la musique en soirée qui, si elle nous a fait passer un réveillon inattendu et drôle , a recommencé le 1er et le 2 janvier de 19 à 23h ! Nous aurions aimé être prévenus !
Appartement très bien situé , on peut se trouver à la plage en 3 minutes et trouver les départs de randonnée à proximité.
Le logement est très propre , et bien décoré , la vue sur le port est très belle.

Oui.... Mais....
Séjour agréable..... MAIS...
Arrivée angoissante, car je n'ai jamais reçu le code de la clef d'entrée !!!
Pb résolu grâce à la compétence d'une responsable de l'OT de Collioure, en lien avec le service Abritel, au bout de 1h30 de tractations....
Heureusement que ns sommes arrivés aux heures d'ouverture du bureau de tourisme.......
Cet aspect là ns a bp contrariés..... À transmettre à qui de droit !
Un bel appartement dans l’ensemble, linge de lit et de toilette très appréciables …une baignoire douche un peu petite mais on s’y fait facilement pour trois semaines de vacances… la proximité des plages est vraiment un plus…
A very well presented spilt level small apartment with some compromises
The property has a great view from the top floor of the beach and the harbour and it is an extremely well presented spilt level flat. The street door to the block leads to a small shared ground floor passage. Then there are stairs that lead to a shared 1st floor landing and a Yale locked door to the flat. 1st floor: bedroom and bathroom. Another set of twisting stairs lead to the sitting room/kitchen on the 2nd floor.
The bedlinen is of a very good quality, but sadly when I came to launder it, I was unable to. There is a washing machine, but no tumbler dryer and no outside space. The drying rack is just too small for a set of king sized linen. If you are staying for more than 7 days, my suggestions are; bring your own linen, pay 30€ per couple for clean linen, or drive to Argeles to a launderette.
There are some health and safety issues that need to be addressed as part of the owner’s duty of care. The street door from the property is shared by 4 flats. One has to turn the key to lock this door. This lock is very temperamental and sometimes won’t turn. If there was a fire, one would need to; 1. Remember the front door key. 2. Hope that the lock works for you. If you leave the street door unlocked another tenant locks it, so there is no easy way out. I contacted the owner but I received no response. If the other tenants won’t agree to pay for a new lock, please just buy for a Yale lock and just give them their keys!
As noted before, the very small bath is situated under the 2nd floor stairs. Therefore, there is very little room to manoeuvre. Climbing up and over into the tiny bath holding a folding glass shower screen to reach the compromised shower space was just about ok for me at 5’7” but climbing out over the bath again with soapy water surrounding my feet, into the petite bathroom was scary. My suggestion is: take out the bath and have a walk in shower or wet room. It’s safer plus the bath is too small and comprised by the stairs to be of any use.
The flat is well placed, is extremely close to the beach and amenities, and yes it is noisy when the cavern of empty wine bottles are emptied into the tip truck at 0500, but that is a price one pays. We did become accustomed to it.
Finally, we enjoyed our stay but rarely ate in. Sadly there is no freezer, not even a tiny one within the fridge. Therefore, one can never have ice cubes for your drinks or emergencies, ice cream, a pack of frozen peas etc. What a shame!
Un appartement bien agencé avec 1 niveau. Agréable, fonctionnel muni d'un lave linge +1 lave-vaisselle.
Située à 30 mètres de la plage, épicerie et boulangerie au pied de l'appartement.
Pros:- The location of the apartment is fantastic it overlooks the beach. You don’t need to drive anywhere. The apartment was clean with everything you need supplied.
Cons:- There is no parking ! You have to pay €50 euros in advance for a weeks parking in any car park that has a meter the barrier parking is more expensive! The bathroom is really small my wife’s 5ft 1” and she hit her head! Having no light on the stairs is difficult when coming home at night, trying to find a key hole and safety on the stairs. IT IS NOISY there are bins directly under the bedroom and collection start around 4am the bottle collection is the worse!! Restaurants emptying into the bins is also bad quite late at night. and in the morning. This is no reflection on the owner, I really don’t see what he could do about it.

About the host
Your host
Chez de Le Monde is owned by an Australian couple, Glenn & Robyn Hammond. We fell in love with Collioure back in 2011 when we first visited whilst celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. We have since made several trips back to enjoy everything the village has to offer. In 2016 we decided to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary in Collioure along with our two children Ben and Mitch and their wives Brooke and Bek. The whole family agreed that Collioure was as pretty as we had described. During our stay we decided to have a look at what real estate was for sale and by chance came across a very authentic and very typical French home. We instantly fell in love with it and the rest is history.
Why they chose this property
Being Australian with a love of the water and sun we didn't want to compromise on location. It was buy a property overlooking the Mediterranean or don't buy one at all. When our agent mentioned he knew of a property that met our brief it was surreal. The minute we stepped inside we were taken by its spectacular waterfront position, the magical forever changing view and the properties beautiful interior finish. Add to this the fact that its within easy walking distance of most things Collioure has to offer without being in the hustle and bustle of the noisy tourist strip.
What makes this property unique
With the buildings date of 1642 etched in a sandstone plinth, this property exudes charm that sets itself apart from many of other Collioure properties. The main bedroom is on a different level to the living area ensuring peace and quiet if you want to slip away for a little siesta to recharge your batteries. Both levels have the same uninterrupted water view that also captures the Chateau Royal De Collioure, the 1000 year old Catholic church, Eglise Notre Dame des Anges and the numerous beaches that surround the bay of Collioure.
Internally, the properties metre think stone walls and mix of contemporary and modern furnishings offers a comfortable home away from home to really enjoy your holiday.
