ABOUT US

Our story… and maybe a little of yours

If you are here, it's probably not by chance.

You love nature.
You like calm.
You like places on a human scale.
And you don't want the crowd anymore.

Neither do we.

An active life… then the desire to slow down

For years, our daily life was intense.
Catering in Argelès-sur-Mer, fashion in Perpignan, the seasons, the steady pace.

Then our son arrived.

And like many couples, we felt this deep need :
to slow down.
build differently.
find a more serene balance.

An assumed choice : only three lodgings

We could have created more housing.

But too many lodgings, it’s less silence.
And the silence, for us, is essential.

We wanted a place :

  • Calm
  • Respondent
  • Where everyone has their own space
  • Where we can really settle down

A place that resembles what we ourselves were looking for.

The place we were looking for… like you

Being away from the crowd,
while remaining close to the sea.

Waking up facing the Albères.
Hear the birds instead of the traffic.

When we discovered this land, we knew.

Receive differently

Muriel says it often :

“We are going to receive friends we don’t know.”

We like to share our advice :

  • A hike adapted to your level
  • A less frequented cove
  • A visit to Collioure at the right time of day
  • An authentic local address

We remain available, while respecting your peace of mind.

Animals are part of the stay

We know they are part of your life.

Ici, dogs are welcomed free of charge.
The area is spacious and everyone finds their place.

Because for us, a successful stay includes the whole family.

Why our guests come back

Because here :

We sleep well.
We breathe.
We have our coffee facing the Albères.
You don't feel like you're in a tourist complex..

We feel good.

And maybe you too… you are looking for this.

Promise kept because we returned to Muriel and Laurent. Domaine still as pleasant with its tranquility, its proximity to the sea, its magnificent villages to discover. The accommodation is perfect, the Catalan dishes prepared by Laurent are delicious. Et l'accueil toujours chaleureux. To recommend without moderation.

We had a great stay ! The accommodation is really great, very pleasant, comfortable and with a magnificent landscape. Everything is there for a great vacation. The hosts are adorable, hyper available, always there if needed. Once arrived, we really feel at home The fact that dogs are accepted is a huge plus too ! Our Bella was thus able to enjoy her very first vacation at the sea ! Another big positive point : air conditioning ! A real +++ for comfort, especially in summer, but also when we leave our dog at home. This allows you to leave with peace of mind knowing that it is cool, even when temperatures rise. We were delighted with our stay, both housing, reception and the environment. Thank you again for your welcome ! ☀️

Between sea and mountains, beautiful comfortable accommodation, clean and well equipped in a quiet and green environment. We were warmly received by Muriel and Laurent who, between advice and delicate attention, made our stay a very nice break.

Go there, it's definitely worth the detour..
