To begin with I must say that there were 14 of us on holiday together and we had the most brilliant time. The pool area was great and the grandchildren were in it from dawn till dusk....and later sometimes!  The village was quiet but had all you need..( the rouchelles are to die for) and the nearby town of Ceret has all anyone needs. To have morning coffee overlooking the village and an evening nightcap on the same veranda was memorable. My son who is 29 said when we arrived home that we should all return again and for a well travelled young man I would say that La Paloma has got something special! Be aware though that there were several flights of steps so for less able bodied or the very old it may prove difficult in the heat. There were a couple of concerns which I raised with the owner and the speed of his response and concern was impressive. Overall my wife, myself, our 4 children, their better halves and our 4 grandchildren had the most wonderful holiday so to the owners we say thank you.

Family from Camberley, United Kingdom

A good villa for larger groups in an excellent location, The owner was easy to contact and very helpful. The views are stunning and there is a good variety of attractions and places to visit relatively close by. Local housekeeping and pool team helpful.
On the negative side, fans in the bedrooms would have made us more comfortable at night and some people might find the steps to and from the house and pool difficult. The cleaning standard on arrival could have been better (several random items from previous guests had not been cleaned up) but it it not detract from the stay. The pool needed a lot of attention from the cleaner but it was always swiftly dealt with. 
Overall this villa has a lovely feel to it and was perfect for our family group of 12 people ages ranging from 13 to Young adults and 40+

Large Group from Leeds, United Kingdom

We stayed 16 young people in this villa in mid-April. Although the weather was a little shaky, we had the time of our lives and this place was absolutely perfect. Except that we had a tendency to run a little short on hot water in the shower, everything about this villa exceed our expectations. The location was great, the view over the mountains was absolutely stunning and bedrooms, living-rooms and kitchen were all satisfying. I will not hesitate to rent the place again or recommend it to a friend.

Thank you very much for a wonderful stay,

 From Toulouse, France

Ideally positioned with superb views.   Spacious rooms
for 11 of us including 4 babies. The whole place was  very well equipped.
exe cellent  pool and surrounding patio area. Very good side terrace for alfresco meals. Two minor problems sorted very quickly by the maintenance man.
La Paloma is within easy walking distance of local food shops and bars and restaurants.

On the debit side the whole place seemed to need some tender loving care e.g.grubby shower curtains,
window frames in need of a coat of paint, cobwebs mouldy corners etc.

However, overall our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at La Paloma.

 From Sidcup, United Kingdom

The property is in a stunning position overlooking the village with views of the foothills of the Pyrenees. The property is very spacious, decor and furniture is oldish but perfectly servicable with ample cooking and dining utensils for 12 people. Lovely terraces for dining on and the swimming pool terrace is great for relaxing or enjoying the pool. Couple of minor issues were attended to directly by the owner who is extremely helpful and attentive to ensuring everything is okay with your stay. This is not a glitzy Spanish villa but a traditional French house where you can relax with children not worrying that something expensive ia about to be broken an ideal base for a family holiday in the beautiful surroundings of the Pyrenees.

A reel good property for a big family. A property situated in a charming little town with possibilities for relaxation but also excursions in the mountains near by.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at La Paloma for a week in Aug 08.  The house was great, and definitely very child friendly - the children saw all the steps as a challenge!  We felt completely at home, and (unlike previous self catering holidays) spent most evenings cooking (in the very well equipped upper kitchen) and chatting on the balcony.  The house is conveniently situated close to the local village (with a fabulous Spar shop very close by), although it is not interrupted by the noise of traffic.  The pool area is great, and the views are spectacular.  I would have no problem at all, in recommending this property to family and friends.

 From Surbiton, United Kingdom

Large airy and very comfortable villa in a wonderful location above, and close to the centre of Arles which we think is one of the most attractive, unspoilt, villages in that part of the Pyrenees.  There are two apartments in the villa buit since the ground floor wasn't occupied we had the place,and the very extensive gardens to ourselves.The villa needs a bit of attention here and there but is exceptionally well equipped and the pool is wonderful, and very well maintained.

La Paloma Villa - Sleeps 6+

 From London, United Kingdom

As a group of 11 we hired La Paloma for a long weekend away from the UK. The property itself was ideal - spacious, with everything you could possibly need in the house to ensure a comfortable, hassle free stay (and a lovely pool!). Arles sur Tech, the village La Paloma is based in, is lovely and quiet and the prioperty has a lovely view of the Pyrenees. There are also lots of beautiful French towns/beaches just a short drive away for a day/morning trip (Ceret , the town where Picasso lived, has a lovely french market). You couldn't ask for a more ideally situated property really! La Paloma is so well placed you could turn the weekend into anything you wanted it to be - adventurous/quiet/ relaxing...just brilliant! Would definitely recommend!
