This distinctly Mediterranean area, where France meets Spain, has a wealth of diverse natural beauty and a rich gastronomic tradition. The majestic Pyrenees provide a backdrop to the entire area, whilst the plain of Roussillon stretches from mountains to sea where some of the longest and best sandy beaches in France can be found. In contrast, pretty coastal villages sit along the Cote Vermeille including Collioure and Port Vendres.
The wonderful climate provides over 300 days of sunshine a year with hot summers and mild winters yet the plain remains lush and produces the regions plentiful wines and wonderful fruits. A great climate, rich history and excellent access to the Mediterranean and the mountains make this a wonderful location for a holiday at any time of the year.
Nestled between the Pyrenees and the Plain of Rousillion are lovely villages and quiet hamlets enjoying the scenery and cool breezes their locations afford.
Perpignan, the cosmopolitan capital of Catalonia, with its mix of modern bustling city and charming old town and markets, is only 25 minutes away together with its historical Palace of the Kings of Mallorca. There are many first class restaurants and even more superb boutiques to be visited.
From Perpignan station the train to Barcelona takes approx 1hour.
The coast from Perpignan southwards, hosts the popular resorts of Canet, St Cyprien and Argeles with their wide sandy beaches, nightlife, bars and restaurants. Where the sandy beaches sweep down to meet the rocky coves of the Vermillion Coast you will find the beautiful fishing village of Collioure, set beneath a Templar castle that is said to have inspired Fauvism. A few minutes more around the coast you will find the working port of Port Vendres where you have the opportunity to buy fish and seafood direct from the quayside trawlers.
The fascinating Cathar castles of Peryrepertuse and Querbus and the fortified towns and villages (Castelnou officially one of the most beautiful villages in France and a must visit is only a 25 minutes drive away), provide interesting places to visit and the Pyrenees can be explored from the famous Little Yellow Train, which runs from the beautiful fortified village of Villefranch de Confluent to Latourde Carol.
Visit the ski resorts at Font Romeu or Mont-Louis, winter or summer (1-1½ hours) and pass the Catalan landmark Mt. Canigou on the way.

Absolutely fantastic villa in an ideal location with the most amazing views. Just returned from a family holiday at Les Sargantanes and would thoroughly recommend the property. The house is spacious, comfortable and very well equipped. The outside patio has the most amazing views of the famous Canigou mountain and the beautiful pool provided a welcome relief from the warmth of the sun. The villa is just a short, five minute drive from the village of Céret, which has plenty of restaurants and cafes. We dined out at a different venue every day and they were all excellent. Other attractions, such as the fishing village of Collioure, are just a short drive away.Guest rating:
Ideal location just 15 minute walk from Ceret town centre (excellent Saturday market). Fine view from swimming pool terrace over Ceret. The accommodation suited our family party of 10 well, the barbecue was well used! Good, helpful and friendly service given by Bob Lucy. Recommended.Guest rating:
We recently stayed at Les Sargantes, 2 families, 6 children and so a large and comfortable house was important. The house was immaculate and the facilities were good. Robert (the property manager) met us and took care of us from the start. Our first impression of the house was that the pictures on the website do not do it justice, it’s a nicer property than it looks on the website (and it looks good on the website)! Robert showed us round, gave us some tips for eating out locally. We had a lovely stay, the weather was glorious and the pool was refreshing and welcome coming in at a steady 26 degrees most days. The house is really roomy with a room by the pool (a new addition for this year I understand) and it was really spacious, cool (it has a good a/c) and an ensuite wet room. I couldn’t recommend the house highly enough, it had everything we needed, we BBQ’d most nights and had plenty of crockery and cooking equipment. The views were amazing, we spent most nights after supper with a drink in hand looking out at the spectacular view. Our holiday was sadly cut short due to impending COVID quarantine restrictions but Robert took it in his stride when we left in haste. In short, a great property and well run. See you again!Guest rating:
The house is really very spacious and doesn't miss anything.The house is really very spacious and nothing is missing. The location above Ceret allows a fantastic view of the local mountain Canigou. We will never forget this view. In general, the location of the villa is perfect. One is in few minutes in the beautiful place, in which a wonderful market takes place on Saturdays. Moreover, the villa is perfectly located for great excursions, be it to pretty mountain villages, to the long sandy beach at Saint Cyprien, almost lonely idyllic bays at Port-Vendres or Banyuls sur Mer, one of the most beautiful towns on the Mediterranean Colliure or a visit to the incomparable Dali Museum in Figueres. All in all it was a wonderful holiday and it was very difficult for us to start our journey home after about 3 weeks. We will definitely come again. Bob and Helene are absolutely very sympathetic hosts. Thank you very much. See you 2021. Renate, Axel & Cosmo.Guest rating:
Les Sargantanes is very well located in a very peaceful rural location on the outskirts of Céret. It is spacious and was more than big enough for our party of 6. The students in our party particularly enjoyed the pool with its spectacular, ever changing view of Canigou. The kitchen and bathrooms are showing their age, but function effectively and are perfectly clean.
We were warmly welcomed by Bob, who showed us all the important things in the house and recommended the best beaches in the area.
There is so much to do in the region, with its mix of historic sites, art, walking, food, wine and general relaxation. The area is very beautiful, particularly the Tech and Têt valleys and the Côte Vermeille. We discovered a number of walks, including the Balcon de Céret which be started close to the property and takes in forest, cherry orchards, streams and locations painted by Soutine, Picasso and other artists of the first half of the 20th century.
We had a wonderful two week holiday and won't hesitate to return.

We really enjoyed our stay in Ceret, after at least 50 visits to France over the last 30 years we are looking for the best area to buy our own holiday home in, and decided to explore the Ceret area for the week. We visited for the day in April, and got a taste for it. I doubt any other areas of France have such a great combination of amazing scenery, things to do and see, atmosphere and food.
The house was very well presented and huge for just the three of us. The pool was a great size and very refreshing when the outside temperature was in the mid 30s. Views from the house of Mt Canigou and the valley were spectacular and ever changing. We ate most of our meals outside and made use of the built in barbecue . The house is well equipped and comfortable, wifi worked faultlessly. We played Boules in the drive, which was good fun. The house is on the top of a ridge and isn't overlooked. We had planned to make use of the bikes at the property, but it was a bit too hot during our stay. We did walk into the centre of Ceret and back one evening, about 30 mins each way, and would happily do so again if came back. Ceret has lots on offer for a town of its size. We ate in the Bisbe one lunchtime on the vine covered terrace, the food was imaginative and well presented as well as tasting fantastic. On Bob's recommendation we booked L'atelier du Fred for a celebration Birthday meal for our son. You definitely need to book for a table in the evening as it's very popular. The menu is quite small....three dishes per course, but excellent quality and the service was extremely good for France. Interesting dishes, my son had a duo of squid and beef canalone.....which sounds bizarre, but worked really well.
Lots of good places to visit, we headed down to Figueras to the Dali Museum then across to the Costa Brava coast one day, and went to Perpignan another day. Perpignan is very pleasant to stroll around and felt smaller than we expected, will visit again.
We also visited a few castles and old villages, there is a tremendous amount to see and do within a 50 mile radius.
Bob did a first rate job of looking after us on behalf of the owners. He was very quick to respond to email enquirers, flexible in meeting our needs and very well organised. He knows the area well and is a great source of information and advice to help make the most of your time on holiday.
In summary, great house, great views....fantastic for outside living. Top quality location. very well run.

We were welcomed by our host Helene who explained everything we needed to know. The accommodation was clean and spacious. The views from all around the house were amazing. The location gave us the privacy and relaxation that we needed. The view of Le Canigou had a great calming influence and the scene chaged throughout the day, sunsets were especially spectacular. You can walk into the hills from the house. There are great walks all around Ceret. We walked for 3 hours and didn't see anyone else. A great base to see the south of France and Spain just the other side of the Pyrenees. Weather was over 30 degrees every day, so the pool was a great place to cool down. That second photo really is the view from the terrace by the pool. Worth it for the views alone.
Guest rating:
We loved our holiday at Les Sargantanes and certainly didn't want to come home. We were travelling as a group of three families with five kids and there was plenty of space for us all.
The house is lovely, typical of the region and very well-equipped. The setting is idyllic - peaceful and private with amazing mountain views. All this and only a short drive to Ceret, which is utterly charming - brilliant Saturday market and excellent modern art gallery. There was lots to do in the surrounding area, although with such a large pool, gardens, table tennis etc we were just as happy to be around the house (once we'd completed the a boulangerie run each morning!)
My only niggle would be the bathrooms which could do with a bit of an update - the showers in particular, however this is only a small point and wouldn't stop us returning.
Bob and Helene were extremely welcoming and helpful which made for a very easy holiday. All in all, a great find!
