Our large flat is the entire second floor of an old building on the
quay of this lovely old deep-water port, with lots of restaurants,
shops, etc, immediately to hand. The position and view are literally
unique! The listed facade of the building, completely refurbished and
repainted in March, is one of the most photographed sights in
Port-Vendres.

Unusually for a second-floor flat, because Port-Vendres rises steeply
behind the quay we have a terrace of about 20 square metres at the
back, reached by a short raised walkway! On the terrace are a table
and chairs as well as a small barbecue.

There are three double bedrooms - the master one with a dressing room
and en-suite shower room, including a toilet, with a French (of
course) window overlooking the quay.

The other two bedrooms are situated at the back of the flat; one has a
double bed and is equipped with an en-suite shower room, including
toilet. The other bedroom has twin beds and a shower and washbasin,
but no toilet. There is a separate toilet off the entrance hall.

All the bedrooms have reversible air-conditioning (hot for winter;
cold for summer).

Each bedroom has colours which are reflected in the bathrooms, the
lights, the soft furnishings, and the decorations. The master bedroom
has fittings of a turquoise blue which echoes the decorative tiles on
the facade of the building, while the other two use a darker blue and
yellow respectively in the same way.

The study is situated between the two rear bedrooms and is separated
from the entrance hall by a curtain. It has a "clic-clac" sofa -
convertible into a double bed, for occasional adult use or for
children. There is a door from the study to a walkway leading behind
the flat to the terrace.

The large (35 square metre), air-conditioned lounge/dining room has
two French windows overlooking the quay, and incorporates a
fully-equipped kitchen - oven, ceramic hob, dishwasher, fridge,
microwave, etc. The dining table has seating for 8.
In the lounge is a television and DVD/CD/Radio system, two
three-seater sofas, easy chairs, pouffes, a coffee table and bookcase,
with a "wood-effect" electric fire to brighten those occasional grey days.

The utility room houses the immersion heater and a sink, and also
contains a freezer, washing machine, tumble drier, iron, ironing board
and vacuum cleaner.
