We stayed at the wonderful Casa Penalolen in September '12. From the moment we arrived Mireille was friendly and helpful, advising on places to eat nearby and how to visit St Martin de Canigou (a must visit nearby and easy to get to via bus). Our room was lovely, overlooking the gardens and pool. A swim and some time on... More

No deposit required" such old fashioned trust and... More

Stayed for 2 wonderful nights in this B & B. Esteban and Mireille couldn't have been nicer and the house is spotlessly clean. We were lucky enough to have a room at the back of the house with a view of the fort, so did not hear any of the road noise. Do not hesitate to book here, you will... More

Lovely home right on the river but it is also right on the road. However, the road noise was minimal at night although I did sleep with earplugs. The location is great for the train station. It's not stated anywhere, at least not that I could find, but not all rooms have attached bathrooms. We were in Room 1 (per... More

We stayed here in between campsites - and it was a superb and civilised break! Esteban and Mireille treated us like royalty in their home; the pool was opened when we arrived, our room was lovelyand spotlessly clean, we were instructed how to walk up to Fort Liberia which we could see from our bedroom window and we could walk...

My husband and I were visiting Villefranche-de-Confluent for a day and we found this wonderful house. We're very grateful to find this great place after having a very bad experience in the Auberge du Cedre. Casa Penalolen is a charming and beautiful house. It's very clean with very nice decor, with a big beautiful garden, a large rectangle swimming pool... More

Nobody could find this little hotel less than perfect. The verdant gardens roll down to the edge of the river, the views are lovely - and oh so restful - and you can enjoy the swimming pool or just relax on the balcony or in the sitting room. It's about a two minute stroll from the station (it's the same... More

Stayed here for 2 nights in Aug 2010. It's a great chambre d'hote. The house is huge and really lovely. The rooms are very clean and airy and on the top floor. The swimming pool is also a big plus, the hosts were very happy for us to use the pool and sun loungers/parasols. The hosts were extremely friendly, helpful... More

We very much enjoyed staying at Casa Penalolen for two days in September. Mireille and Esteban are charming and excellent hosts of a spotlessly clean Chambre D'Hotes. We were made to feel very much at home and were well cared for. The Village is a short walk away and Mireille recommended and booked an excellent restaurant for us as well... More
