I can't recommend this place highly enough - right from the moment Jon met me at Girona airport (about 40 mins drive away) and brought me over to L'escalivade in Ceret I knew I had made the right choice after a 5 star recommendation from another friend. The house itself is a beautifully restored 'maison de maitre' (elegant townhouse) with... more

We stayed here for one night last September whilst visiting the Colliure area. L'escalivade is a lovely lovely place, airy and roomy, and we really liked our bedroom. Ceret is a great town and it's all very relaxing, there are a number of walks you can do in the surrounding area if you are so inclined, or you can just... more

From the moment we were met at the airport by Jon (at no extra cost to us) the scene was set to how our holiday would be... Perfect! Nothing was ever a problem for Jon and Christine, All of our requests were met with that kind of customer service you could only wish for. The beautiful setting of their place... more

we spent a lovely 5 days in late september with our hosts Jon and Christine making us feel like we were part of the "family". It was just what we needed after a long and wonderful time in the Midi Pyrenees. So we took advantage of the pool area and made time to relax. Ceret is a beautiful town and... more

Having visited the area before, i already knew how beautiful Ceret was and the accommodation was the perfect base for me to enjoy the town. Jon and Christine were very welcoming and the room was ideal and well presented. I was made to feel at home, nothing was too much for them!! I will be returning to the area as... more

We stayed at L'Escalivade for 4 nights in September. The hosts were welcoming, relaxed and helpful. Nothing was a problem if you asked. The room was pleasant and there is an exceptional pool area for relaxing. You can walk up the road to the pretty town for eateries and a great modern art gallery. Ceret is a great base for... more

Our family's 5-night stay in June 2008 was a highlight of our two month visit to Europe this summer. We'd never been to Ceret before, but found the old town to be a delight and a great base to explore Catalonia. Pluses for L'Escalivade: lovely house and terrace/swimming pool, secure parking, comfortable rooms with private (but tiny) baths, congenial hosts,... more

What can I say? I booked a trip to the South of France and decided I and my fiance were going somewhere new and not the usual plan. This is what led us to staying with Jon and Christine in the beautiful and romantic town of Ceret. Jon and Christine were the perfect hosts and have created a tranquil and... more

This is a great location a few minutes walk from the centre of Ceret with great outdoor space including a very clean swimming pool. The great thing here is being able to relax in or out of the sun for a while between trips into the mountains or the town centre. The proprietors are very friendly and generous with time... more
