Colin und seine Familie sind außergewöhnlich aufmerksame und tolle Gastgeber! Wir haben uns im Chai Catalan vom ersten Moment an sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Haus liegt direkt am Schloss von Ortaffa inmitten eines wunderschönen Gartens mit Pool. Es ist unter Berücksichtigung seines nostalgischen Werts renoviert und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Das französische Frühstück aus lokalen Produkten hat keine Wünsche offen gelassen. Colin und seine Frau halfen uns sogar bei unvorhergesehenen Schwierigkeiten weiter, wofür wir super dankbar sind. Wir würden nicht zögern, wieder hier zu übernachten :)

Le petit déjeuner sur la terrasse, la gentillesse de l'hôte.

L 'endroit a été magnifiquement rénover , avec beaucoup de gout. Nous n 'avons pas eu l 'occasion de rencontrer la maitresse de maison, mais son mari Collin et son fils nous ont vraiment très bien accueillis. Collin est passionné de vin et propose des degustations de vins australiens, ses origines, à tester si vous aimez le vin. La piscine est un vrai plus après une journée remplie ou pour le farniente. la maison est propre et au calme.

Colin et sa famille sont très chaleureux, nos deux chambres de belle taille et très propres. Petit frigo sympa dans la partie commune. Promis la prochaine fois nous ferons la dégustation de vins Australiens qui a l’air prometteuse :) J’oubliais le super petit déjeuner dans le jardin sous les palmiers . Top !

Très bon séjour dans le chai Catalan. Propriétaires très attentionnés, très agréables. Sans oublier le chien Tasie qui est adorable avec les enfants. Elle manque déjà à notre fille.

week-end très agréable au Chai Catalan. Super accueil de Colin et son fils qui ont tout mis en oeuvre pour que notre séjour se déroule dans les meilleurs conditions. A noter un petit déjeuner super copieux avec des bons produits. Thank you!

Colin est un hôte adorable, serviable et très accueillant. Nous avons passé une charmante soirée ensemble à déguster du vin. L'ancien chaînes charmant et confortable, le jardin agréable.

Hôtes très accueillants, serviables avec des histoires venues de l’autre bout du monde, l’Australie, la Tasmanie, La Nouvelle Zélande. Nous avons passé un très bon séjour. Très bons petits déjeuners avec des pâtisseries maison. Aide précieuse pour organiser les visites.

Des hotes charmants et devoués, un cadre idyllique, chambre tres confortables avec tous les petits soins attendus !

Lieu trés beau, et calme! Propriétaires très gentils et acceuilant! Bon petit déjeuner sous les palmiers,... agréable! Merci pour ce beau séjour

The Chai Catalan is an old wine cellar built onto the city wall of the medieval castle in Oftaffa, a small village close to Elne. The original building is 800 years old and has been renovated with originality yet with an eye to preserving the original character of the building and it origins. The building offers a modern and comfortable haven to unwind, a serene space where you can enjoy the walled garden or relax by the swimming pool. Your are assured a quiet and peaceful stay, yet you remain close to all the main tourist attractions, the sea, small villages and the mountains of the Pyrenees. Le Chai Catalan, located between Perpignan and Collioure. It is 12km from the sea, and is the ideal place to discover or French Catalonia. This is a beautiful region offering history, old towns, activities by the sea or in the mountains and the vibrant culture and good food and wines from the region. We are happy to offer advice to our guest to get the most from their stay. We offer a continental breakfast. The menu changes daily and our guests can enjoy hot drinks, fresh juice, breads and homemade jam, pastries and regional cakes, fresh fruit, yoghurt and on request, cheese and ham.
