Modern Villa, set in the vineyards with a backdrop of the Pyrenees.

Mark, thank you for your enthusiastic review. We are both so pleased that you and your party enjoyed your holiday. The area certainly lends itself to much exploring, as the opportunities are so varied and inspiring. The "Poulet de Bicyclette" restaurant you mention is certainly proving popular for its menu, food quality and location. It is fairly unique. So, thanks again for your generous comments, and hopefully your friends may be tempted next year. Regards, Mike and Pauline.

Thank you Michael, pleased you and your family enjoyed your marathon stay.

Many thanks for your positive review. I think that was a fair description of the area and its views. The pool is a great, safe facility, and yes the sunsets can be fantastic whilst sitting on the terrasse enjoying the fruits of the vine. I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves and your family too. Regards.

Hi Becky and family, wow, I love this review. You have made it sound so good, that I want to stay there myself. !! I think you have listed all the great attractions of the Villa in 4 sentences. Plus some great things to do also, especially liking the vineyard bit and the closeness of the beaches at Canet de Rousillion. The dinosaur museum is only 4 kms away too, in the next town. Many thanks for your review. Cheers, Mike and Pauline.

Karen, a stunning review. Thank you so much for your glowing remarks. We are both so happy that you and your party enjoyed the Villa holiday. Your comments are truly appreciated. I believe that you have to see the views from the Villa, and on the approach roads to fully appreciate how beautiful it is. The weather you had, even with a thunderstorm, which is amazing in itself, would have delighted you too. We have done our best currently to make it a "home from home", with the facilities, layout, equipment and utensils etc, to make it feel like you live there, and are not just on holiday. I guess its what we would want to see and experience if we were to holiday there. Yes, the welcome food pack and the Info pack, are key to settling in quickly. I'm glad you appreciated them. We are so pleased you enjoyed yourselves, and you are more than welcome to return anytime. So, thank you again for your kind review. Regards, Mike and Pauline.

Many thanks for your kind comments, it was a pleasure hosting you. Hopefully we will see you again one summer, when you take advantage of great weather and more outside activities, like the pool, beach and rivers. Until then stay safe and well.

Merci pour vos aimables commentaires.

Merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire, la piscine est certainement une grande attraction pour les enfants et les adultes. On peut y passer de nombreuses heures de plaisir. Visiter les sites d'intérêt locaux est une excellente façon d'explorer les environs, le voyage peut être aussi amusant, avec des vues magnifiques, que la destination elle-même. Je suis heureux que vous vous soyez amusés.

C'est fantastique, je suis vraiment heureux que vous vous soyez amusés. Vous êtes le bienvenu à tout moment. Merci.

Merci Reda, Nous sommes très heureux que vous et votre famille ayez passé un excellent séjour de Nouvel An à la Villa Dendrane. C'est également un plaisir de recevoir une critique aussi chaleureuse. Nous espérons vous revoir, dans des circonstances plus normales, avec toutes les commodités locales ouvertes également. D'ici là, restez en sécurité et en bonne santé. Cordialement, Mike et Pauline.

Salut Laurianne, Merci beaucoup pour votre critique. Vos charmants commentaires sont très appréciés. La piscine est certainement une grande attraction et on peut s'y amuser beaucoup. L'endroit est également très calme, avec des vues et des paysages magnifiques, comme je n'en ai jamais vu auparavant. J'espère que vous et vos amis envisagerez d'y retourner un jour, pour continuer vos aventures. Je vous remercie encore une fois, Mike et Pauline

Many thanks Andrea, I'm so pleased you and your party had a great time. It certainly is a magnificent, picturesque area to relax in. The pool and the fun and games you can enjoy just adds to the experience. Thank you .

Hi Noeleen, Many thanks for your kind review and sharing with us the places you visited. I totally agree that the views are stunning and that you and your family enjoyed all the amenities and facilities in the Villa. I guess you can imagine how much more enjoyable it will be when the pool is open too. Pauline and I were very keen on giving something back to the Royal Liverpool Hospital, and offering the Villa as a prize in the "R charity" raffle was a good way to say thank you to the Hospital for what they do. So once again, thank you for your positive review and it was a pleasure for us to host you there. Regards, Mike and Pauline

Hi Marcin and family, Many thanks for taking the time to post a review of the Villa. We really appreciate your positive comments. It is true, February is a bit too cold to be using the pool unfortunately, but in the summer, it is a great place for the family to be, it's a welcome retreat from the sun. I'm glad you enjoyed your skiing in Andorra, you have been our first guests to use the Villa as a base for a skiing holiday. Hopefully you will proove to be a trendsetter. Again, much appreciation for your kind comments. Regards, Mike and Pauline.

Hola raquel Fuiste nuestro primer huésped en el invierno y elegiste quedarte para Año Nuevo también. Muchas gracias por su estadía y por enviar un comentario, nos complace que piense que es "genial" y que haya disfrutado del gran salón. Es un gran espacio familiar. Sí, Carcassonne es un gran lugar para visitar, hay mucho que ver, con una historia increíble. Esperaba que visitaras el Castillo, con sus polémicas obras de arte amarillas. De todos modos, gracias por la revisión y palabras amables. Saludos, Mike.

Hi Emily, thank you so much for taking time out to review the Villa and your stay. As yo have mentioned your stay was greeted by a glorious week of weather, whilst we went through the beginnings of winter at home. You also chose to just relax at the property and have a proper "chill out", a chance to get away from it all, and it proved ideal for you and your party. So please it met with your requirements. Hopefully, we will see you again next year, and you will bring the weather with you again. Kind regards, Mike and Pauline.

Natalie, Many thanks for your review, it sounds like you had an amazing time. Your description of the location, the Villa, the scenery the activities, is so true. Its hard sometimes to explain to others, what you have experienced, but I think you may have done a better job than me. You don't know how pleased I am that you managed to get the teenagers and the toddler entertained at the same time. Its true about the pool also, the pictures don't seem to give the full impression of the size. Needless to say its big. Natalie, again, thank you for staying, and of course you can always comeback again next year.!! Regards, Mike and Pauline.

Hi Geoff, many thanks for your kind review. So pleased you enjoyed yourselves. I can't agree more, the drive from anywhere to Granes, on the normal roads, or even more so, on the smaller roads is breathtaking. Coming through the valleys and over the top of small mountains is astonishing. And, you are not wrong about the wine and vineyards too. Pleased the amenities satisfied your needs. Many thanks again. Mike and Pauline.

Many thanks Fiona for your positive comments. We are both so pleased you enjoyed our Villa, and its facilities. As you have so rightly pointed out, we are set in a rural location, but that, to us, is part of its beauty and attraction. It is such a central location to travel in either direction to find the jewels of the area.You and your party certainly made the most of your time there, and the weather was a magnificent bonus too. Thank you again. Regards, Mike and Pauline.

Merci Delphine, pour ton avis positif sur notre Villa. Nous sommes tous les deux heureux que vous et votre famille ayez apprécié votre séjour, et que la Villa ait répondu à vos attentes initiales. J'ai noté les points que vous avez soulevés et je suis d'accord que fournir de l'équipement de cuisine supplémentaire pour les grands groupes est une bonne idée. Je dois aussi admettre que le manque de DVD français est un oubli de ma part, et nous corrigerons cela pour les prochains invités. J'ai demandé des éclaircissements sur ce qui n'était pas «très propre», et vous avez constaté que certains des ustensiles de cuisine semblaient ne pas être suffisamment propres et qu'ils étaient maculés. J'ai identifié cela comme résidu de calcaire de l'eau dure que nous avons fourni à la maison. Nous avons remarqué cela nous-mêmes. La réponse est de sécher les pots / casseroles avec une serviette sèche, avant de les ranger. Le résidu n'est pas visible sur d'autres ustensiles, seulement les brillants. Et, ce n'est définitivement pas nocif. Nous aborderons ceci sur notre programme de nettoyage. Cependant, nous revoyons toujours la façon dont nous présentons la propriété et nous nous efforcerons toujours de la présenter de la meilleure façon possible. Merci encore pour vos commentaires positifs et votre 5/5. J'espère que vous nous rejoindrez à nouveau l'année prochaine. Cordialement, Mike et Pauline.

Merci Nadege et Alain, pour ton gentils mots. Je suis heureux que vous et votre famille passe un bon moment. Desole pour la confusion sur la climatisation. Ca aurait du indiquer qu'il y avait des ventilateurs dans les chambres. J'ai clarifie le probleme sur le site Web maintenant. Cordialement, Mike et Pauline.

Thank you for your kind words Tom. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. Regards, Mike and Pauline.

Many thanks Liam, for your positive review of your stay at the Villa. You certainly chose a good week to holiday here, it was late October, and the weather was amazing if I recall correctly. The quaint little towns that you mention, are indeed so different to what we see in England, and the tranquillity they bring, and the curiosity they arouse, is what holidaying is all about. Such a contrast to our normal lives. During your stay, you were able to see the ongoing re-development of the garden/pergolas/pool/BBQ and sun lounging area, which as you say, spikes the interest for future vacations in 2018. I am pleased to say that this refurbishment is now completed, internally and externally, it looks amazing, and I can't wait to publish an updated portfolio of pictures in mid February 2018 to demonstrate this. Many thanks again Liam, I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves.

Thank you Fiona, I'm so glad you enjoyed your time there. It's good to hear, that the villa description is accurate, and that you like the arrangements internally. The refurbishment has added to the internal profile, with some additional extras, to make it feel like home too. Wifi, and a SMART TV have been connected since you were there. I remember now that you undertook the scenic route to the beach, from memory its a pretty dramatic drive through the mountains and a real test of your driving skills. But great fun, with stunning views. Thanks again for choosing to stay with us, and look forward to you booking a return this year.

Many thanks for your kind review of the Villa and its facilities. I certainly agree with your comments on the amazing views visible on the drive through to the Villa. They are stunning.! You and your family chose to holiday at the villa, just after we purchased it and before we started the refurbishment. Consequently, we were able to take your verbal suggestions, on how to improve the Villa, into consideration when we commenced the building works. When you holiday again next year, I think you will be very pleasantly surprised on how much we have updated it, and incorporated your ideas and thoughts into the project. So, many thanks again, see you later this year, and be prepared to be surprised.!!
