We had a great holiday in Vingrau.Positives Great view from the giteVery well equippedGreat rooms size and having 2 bathrooms is great for a family.The owner was brilliant and very responsive to any requests.Quiet locationPool is a great size and a nice cooling site. Shamed it is shared with the other gite on site.NegativesLack of air conditioning in the gite despite the description on Vrbo ( we were told before coming but were told that the gite stayed cool in the summer ) this became a struggle due to the high temperatures encountered.Location is a bit far from shops.Overall we really enjoyed the region and the proximity to the sea, the french markets and to Spain. We also visited Carcassonne which we loved.
Alles in allem war der Aufenthalt in dem Objekt sehr gut (das Wetter spielte uns leider Ende Mai, Anfang Juni einen Streich). Die Aussicht und die Lage verdienen eigentlich mehr als 5 Sterne. Da das Objekt relativ abgelegen auf einem Pass liegt, ist es ohne Auto nicht zu empfehlen. Für Einkäufe geht es ca. 200 Höhenmeter ins Tal in kleinere Ortschaften mit eingeschränktem Angebot (ca. 7 km) oder zu einem großen Carrefour (ca. 13 Km)! Ausflugsmöglichkeiten (zum Meer ca. 25 Minuten mit dem Auto) und Wandermöglichkeiten für geübte und trittsichere Wanderer gibt es zu Hauf. Der Pool und die Tatsache, das die sehr netten Vermieter Inhaber eines Weingutes mit Top-Weinen im Angebot sind, sind das Sahnehäubchen bei diesem Angebot. Für Selbstversorger und Köche auf höherem Niveau ist die Küchenausstattung passabel, aber ausbaufähig. Die im Angebot genannte Waschmaschine ist nicht Bestandteil der Wohnung, sondern man kann auf Nachfrage die Waschmaschine der Eigentümer (die im gleichen Objekt wohnen) mitnutzen.
Fazit: Ruhe, Lage, Aussicht, Wein, Pool und extrem nette und zuvorkommende Vermieter machen kleine Abwertungen in Sachen Sauberkeit (ggfs. auch ein deutsches Problem) und Küchenausstattung locker wett.
Everything about our stay here was amazing. Matthieu and Elodi were wonderful hosts. Their rental units are very comfortable, thoughtfully equipped, peaceful, and private. Great accessibility for my mother who has mobility issues (most rentals in the area have many stairs). If you love wine or if you're a cyclist or a hiker or would enjoy a week of relaxation with a heartstopping view this is the place to come. We miss the sunsets already!
Un endroit magnifique entre terre et mer! Des vues magnifiques autour de la maison, accès direct à départ une randonnée en bas de la maison! Plusieurs activités à faire dans les environs (châteaux des cathares, autres châteaux, musée de la préhistoire, une gorge magnifique, plusieurs randonnées dont la tore del fare pour une vue panoramique impressionnante, les vignobles du Roussillon sans oublier des villes côtières à 30mn notamment leucate, Canet en Roussillon, etc.) Tout ceci avec l’accueil chaleureux des COLLET : Élodie et Mathieu et leurs enfants sont super sympa et nous ont mis à l’aise dès notre arrivée (ils sont voisins aux locataires mais sont très discrets pour vous laisser profiter de votre séjour). Nous avons été visité leur vignoble et avons dégusté quelques vins de leur production.
Et bien évidemment la piscine... la piscine cerise sur le gâteau.
