We really enjoyed our stay at Marquixanes. The house was very spacious and peaceful and there is so much to do in the area. Julie, the concierge, was incredibly helpful and responsive - thank you!
Just had a wonderful stay at Les Ecuries. 7 people and plenty of room for everyone. There were a few little niggles when we arrived but were immediately dealt with by Julie, the concierge, very accessible and pleasant to deal with. The house looks exactly like the photographs, it’s in a great position for visiting the many sights so close at hand. The weather was extremely hot so the pool was a blessing and we were able to enjoy the garden in the evenings for leisurely meals.
A great house for a family stay. Nice sized rooms and outside space which we enjoyed with the swimming pool and pingpong table. A great location to visit the surrounding towns and areas. The house had a warm, cosy feel to it where you can feel at home immediately.
Merci pour ce magnifique séjour à Marquixanes, belle maison ideale pour les vacances en famille, nous étions huit avec des enfants, beaucoup d'équipements on a tous passé un bon moment, merci.
Très belle maison ancienne, idéalement située entre mer et montagne à 5 min à pieds d'un super complexe d'aventure en eaux-vives. Nous étions 2 familles avec 3 enfants en bas âge et nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans la maison. La maison est très bien équipée : jeux, vidéo-projecteur et panier d'accueil super sympa. La piscine est bien mise en valeur et très très agréable. Le seul bémol concerne l'insonorisation de la maison et la route passante à proximité toutefois nous recommandons vivement cette belle demeure et l'accueil chaleureux de Denise.
