We stayed in Maryvonne's house 4 days and we enjoyed a lot. The house itself is big and well equipped with beautiful views to the mountains and birds singing in the morning as in fairy tale, also with many nice decoration details and very cozy atmosphere. The village where the house is situated is also super interesting with historic castle, medieval architecture, a lot of flowers, artistic galleries and very good restaurant with a view. Also by car it's easy to get to bigger cities like Perpignan and Colliure. Interaction with Maryvonne and Jean - Paule was easy and nice, so we sincerely recommend this place to other travelers.

Maryvonne and Jean-Paul are wonderful hosts who make every effort to ensure their guests enjoy a comfortable stay in this beautiful property. They communicate promptly with clear information and are delightful to meet in person on arrival and departure. The gîte is a truly special place to stay in the magical village of Castelnou, with two excellent restaurants just up the street. It is in a tranquil situation up a side alley and has marvellous views of the surrounding countryside. It is full of character and old-world charm, and a number of Jean-Paul’s paintings adorn the walls - he is a talented water-colourist and fascinating to talk to about art and culture. The gîte is clean, spacious, and contains everything needed for a relaxing stay, and the free parking is a great benefit; in addition, some local delicacies and a pot of Maryvonne’s homemade apricot jam were lovely touches that made our arrival even sweeter. This property offers fantastic value and a stay here is a real treat.

The property is even better than the pictures and the view from the terrace is breathtaking. Maryvonne and Jean-Paul were wonderful hosts, very kind, helpful and welcoming to us as a family. We had a great stay and whilst Castelnou is very touristy it proved a great place for exploring the region.

Lieu atypique au pied du Château. Nous avons passé un agréable moment en famille. Le logement est très spacieux et très calme la nuit tombée. À noter que le réveil est juste féerique avec cette vue sur la vallée et le soleil rayonnant dans la maison 🥰

De gîte is een heel gezellig ingericht oud huis in het prachtige historische stadje Castelnou.Het huis is gezellig ingericht met 2 ruime slaapkamers met badkamer en een apart slaapkamertje met een stapelbed. Het is er 's avonds heel rustig en stil. We hebben prima geslapen.De keuken is gerieflijk en beschikt over alles wat nodig is.Vanuit Castenou kan je makkelijk te voet vertrekken voor mooie wandelingen, en de bergen en de zee zijn nooit ver weg.We hebben er van genoten.

Nos gusto mucho, casa auténtica de pueblo. Muy amables los propietarios y perfecta ubicación para desconectar...

This place was wonderful! The hosts were gracious. The apartment was beautiful, very clean, and with comfortable beds. My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. I highly recommend it.

Amazing little place that will make you feel right at home.

A wonderful stay! Castelnou is a gem of a place to stay. We highly recommend this as a location and accommodation.

The house is in an extremely pretty location. Out of all the "cutest" villages in this part of France (and I visited them all), this location is by far the nicest. There is a walk from the village gate to the property, but it's not far.The rooms are mainly big, and the kitchen, although small, had everything we needed. The terrace was a little smaller than we would have liked, and you wouldn't really be able to get more than two people sitting at the table, at a time, but for us it was absolutely fine, and the view was spectacular.As we arrived slightly before the main season, not all the restaurants and cafés were open, but the ones that were had good, reasonably priced food, and the views were incredible.The property is within 30-40 minutes drive of many attractions, including some great beaches.The only slight negative is that the internet was flaky. The owners tell us that they are trying to re-site the router. This should help, as we often had no internet in the "office".
