About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Bright villa, swimming pool, large private garden.

Relax at the Traverse du Bonheur in a peaceful environment at the foot of the Albères mountains and the sounds of cicadas.

The completely private property is located at the entrance to a village dating from the 9th century in a wine-growing area. The place invites you to relax and a large swimming pool will allow you to cool off on hot summer days. A large flower garden as well as a stream (the Napoleon canal) runs alongside the grounds and gives it a romantic air. The property has several fruit trees: grapefruit, lemons, oranges, cherries and peaches.

The villa is very bright and composed of open air. On the ground floor, you will find a large, very well-equipped kitchen, a large living room opening onto the terrace and fitted with 2 sofa beds, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a WC and the laundry room. On the 1st floor, there is a bedroom and a bathroom with a nice view of the mountains and the swimming pool. The terrace seats 8 people comfortably at the table and is equipped with an electric retractable roof. You can also take advantage of the BBQ to cook and share good meals with family and friends.

For the children, you have left a large toy box and bicycles so that they can spend a wonderful holiday having fun. The pool is fenced for their safety.

The house is equipped with air conditioning, mosquito nets on the windows and the swimming pool is heated for your comfort.

The village of St-Génis-Fontaines has an IX abbey and 3 Languedoc-Roussillon wine cellars. We are located a few minutes drive from the Spanish border and the most beautiful beaches in the region.

Fantastic property and location
We had a great 2 week holiday. The property owner and manager were both extremely helpful and responsive in all aspects of the booking. The house itself is brilliant - very clean and well equipped with lots of space and effective air conditioning. The pool is large and cleaned twice a week. In terms of location it's hard to beat as you get the best of both worlds - house is on the edge of a small town (only 7-8 walk from shops) with amazing views of the Alberes mountains, but only 15 mins drive away from the coastal towns of Collioure and Argelès-sur-Mer. There is so much to do for all ages but we didn't get to visit everything we had planned, so aiming to return again! The property is so comfortable it really is a home from home.

Beautiful house in the south of france
This is a beautiful, comfortable home from home. The manager and the owner of the property are very helpful and pleasant to deal with. The pool is Fabulous, our children loved swimming around in it. The local village is only a few minutes walk and it has a shop and a few other amenities, however I would recommend a car to see the region properly. The house is situated in a beautiful part of France and it's well worth touring around. There was plenty of room for our family of 5 in the house and we could have easily fit more people. I would definitely recommend a visit to this house. Thank you to the owner for sharing her lovely house with us.

Lovely villa with great pool
We had a great stay in this spacious and comfortable house. We were shown around upon arrival and the house has everything you need including plenty of towels! The pool area is great including the outdoors dining table. The pool is a good size and was a nice temperature. The village has a couple of bakeries and two mini supermarkets and there is a Carrefour about 5mins drive away. We had great day trips to Ceret, the mountains, Argeles sur mer beach and to Aquabrava waterpark in Spain (just less than an hour’s drive).

A very nice house. You get what you see. Nice location, many beuatiful sites to explore.
We, a family of 4 enjoyed our stay of 14 days in this house very much. The house is well equipped, and has everything you need if you want to cook or just relax by the house. The pool is big and the garden is beautiful and suitable for activities. We can really recommend this house, which has a very helpful owner and a contact person in the city. St Genis is a lovely little place with two very good bakeries, a very good pizzeria and a nice restaurant. You need a car to get around, there are so many beautiful places to see in this area. The beach is just a short drive away (10 minutes), and you have very good restaurants in the neighbour ‘city’, only 5 minutes away. We loved our stay very much and hope to come back one day.

great property, quiet spot
This was a great house that suited our needs. Everything you need for a relaxing vacation. We were lucky to be able to book the property at the last minute - it usually is booked early. The property manager and owner were helpful. St-Genis-des-Fontaines is a quiet little town, easy access to highway to take you to the coast about 30 minutes away (you really need a car if you're going to book this property). The Canigou mountain is visible if you walk about 5 minutes up the road along a quiet country road. Beautiful.

Spacious villa in a lovely location.
We stayed here with 4 adults and 2 young children. We chose it mainly because we wanted a gated, heated pool. The pool heater was too noisy, so we had to ask for it to be switched off, but it didn't matter too much as the water was fine. In the height of summer I'm sure the water will be even warmer. Lovely pool side area with plenty of sunloungers. The children enjoyed the 'noodles'. The arrangements of bedrooms was ideal for our 2 families. Bunk bedroom, double and bathroom downstairs, another double upstairs and bathroom for us grandparents. Plenty of room for everyone. In fact the whole villa is spacious inside and out and well equipped. This includes 2 utility rooms and outside drying space for washing or just wet towels and cossies. The box of toys was a great extra for the children. There is a short walk into the lovely village of St Genis. Fresh baguettes for breakfast. It has plenty of small shops and some local history. There are 2 Caves in the village where you can taste and buy local wine. Bigger shops are a short drive away. The area is beautiful with lots to choose from to do. The children loved the beaches of Collioure and Argeles, the giant tortoises at La Vallee des Tortues and we had day trips to Carcassonne and Perpignan. Certainly an area and a villa to come back to one day.

Nous avions réservé cette location pour , en premier sa piscine chauffée à 28 degrés . Elle n'a jamais dépassé les 20 degrés. Mi octobre les nuits sont fraîches et la salle de bain mérite un chauffage mais aucune prise basse de toutes les chambres ne fonctionnent.Il a fallu demander des rallonges pour accéder à la seule prise fonctionnelle . (en hauteur) Pas de cles sur les serrures de WC.Le placard de la salle de bain du bas est à vérifier. Le lave vaisselle idem . Malgré ces .désagréments le séjour a été agréable,bel espace dans le séjour. Dommage .A ce tarif nous espérions que les conditions annoncées soient exactes. Hôte premiun cintres en métal .!!

Belle maison avec une jolie jardin
Belle maison avec un jolie jardin - au calm, bien clôturer. Dommage qu'il y ait des travaux just à côté (le bruit & la poussière). Cuisine bien équipé et les lits très comfortable. Belle espace pour garer la voiture. Malheureusement, la piscine et la plage étaient en mauvais état (pas propres), nous n'avons donc pas pu l'utiliser, même si la gardienne faisait de son mieux pour régler le problème.

Fascinating house to feel good.
We were very impressed. The vacation home offers much more than described. We spent a very nice time in the house, we did not miss anything. The kitchen equipment had more to offer than some people have at home. Everything is generously and lovingly furnished. Very clean and comfortable. There are numerous places to stay, whether in the house, in the garden or on the terrace. The children were thrilled by the pool and the available toys. The manager is also very friendly, discreet and helpful. Many thanks!!!!

Maison bien equipée et située
Nous avons séjourné 5 jours dans cette maison fin Décembre. Celle-ci est tout à fait en accord avec le descriptif et les photos du site ABRITEL. Belle maison spacieuse, confortable, propre et vraiment très bien équipée !!! Petits (3 enfants) et grands (4 adultes) nous nous sommes sentis comme chez nous. Avec un jardin et piscine (pour l’été), parking pour plusieurs voitures et 2 vélos à disposition des enfants (ainsi que des jouets dedans!). La location idéale pour passer d'excellentes vacances. On a visité Argelès sur mer et sa plage (15 min), Collioure (20 min) et aussi Carcassonne (a 1h 20 min). Nous remercions France pour son attention et Sylvie pour son accueil et aide quand il y avait un problème avec le fonctionnement d’internet (parfaitement résolue !). Nous ne manquerons pas de conseiller cette location et espère revenir en été pour profiter aussi de la piscine !!!

Rien à redire
Un séjour d’une semaine avec nos enfants et des amis, une maison fidèle à l’annonce et une propriété super bien aménagée. La piscine est assez grande pour tout le monde et de qualité (eau à 29 degrés toute la semaine). La maison était très propre et il y avait suffisamment de place pour nous 8. Seul petit bémol : le canapé lit est vraiment pour dépanner car le matelas est très fin, mais pour des enfants ça passe. Merci aussi à Mme Haas pour l’accueil. C’était une belle semaine à 15 minutes de la côte avecc un temps magnifique en plus !
