Montsec d'Ares

building is in need of touchups, carpet worn. front desk not very friendly. housekeeping limited and not complete. shower was in need of repair. the great part was hotel was minutes from train station - station and hotel connected by indoor path. water available on 2nd floor was both sparkling and flat. quiet

Our stay at Hotel La Casa Païral was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the experience felt warm, effortless, and genuinely special. The gentleman at the front desk went above and beyond in every possible way, so much so that I actually told him he was the friendliest French man I’ve ever met. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and his kindness set the tone for our entire stay. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning. The courtyard and pool area are like a hidden oasis—beautifully designed, peaceful, and immaculately maintained. It has this beautiful “France meets Spain” charm that makes it feel incredibly unique and atmospheric. Every detail has clearly been thought through, right down to drinks being served poolside on a silver tray. It’s that level of care and attention that really makes this place stand out. Our garden-view room was gorgeous, I kept having to get up & stare out of the window! Complete with a well-stocked minibar, and having a cot provided & set up ready for arrival made everything so easy for us as a family. The convenience of parking was also a huge plus, especially in such a central location. The location couldn’t be better, just 30 seconds from a shop and perfectly central to all the restaurants and attractions in Collioure, yet still feeling tucked away and tranquil. If you’re looking for the perfect place to stay in Collioure, this is it. Truly unforgettable, and we wouldn’t stay anywhere else.
