Hotel le Mas Trilles

We arrived in Ceret to spend time with Family in Calmeilles just a twenty minute drive up the mountain, We have not travelled much in France and our french is fairly non-existent, and the owners English was as good as our french, but boy they really looked after us. Encouraging our stumbling attempts at french, coupled with great hospitality and the tapas and wine was superb. We stayed for two nights, and can also say the breakfast was excellent. A perfect location for visiting our family but also exploring Ceret and the surrounding area. We will definitely be back.

We spent a week (longer than most people) at this hotel and enjoyed it very much. We like the intimacy of small hotels and this one, run by Sebastian and his wife Christine gave the opportunity to get to know them a little, something that was helped by my husband's very good French. Our room in the building opposite the main house was rather small but charming with French doors opening on to the garden. The weather was hot and the super-efficient and quiet air-conditioning very welcome. We also had a kettle and a fridge which enabled us to make tea! Breakfast on the terrace was limited in choice but entirely adequate. We ate three times at the hotel in the evening (once with friends) but wished the food had been slightly more interesting and higher quality. The swimming pool was clean and delightful with a wonderful flower border down one side. The limited outside seating areas were attractive. There is a large private car park for the hotel. The only downside as far as I was concerned were the mosquitos, possibly because of the river nearby or perhaps the swimming pool. We would return.

My partner ran from London to Barcelona with Parkinsons and we stopped her en route in June. We instantly loved the welcome, accommodation, pool, grounds and food. The rooms were just delightful with everything you would need and towels were provided for the pool. The pool was warm and the grounds are so beautiful. Christine and Christian were fabulous hosts and were so helpful and kind. We left early (3.30am) to beat the heat for running, so thought we would miss breakfast but to our surprise they made up a wonderful picnic breakfast for us which was so lovely of them. So we had to come back in June and the welcome was amazing again. Everything here is perfect and we have stayed in 34 different locations so we have a lot of experience. We would not hesitate in going back.

We came to stay 5 days to Le mas Trilles . We got the room at the top number 31, the room is very big with entrance area with wardrobe and entrance to bathroom. The bedroom area included wide bed, beautiful antiques furniture, table and chair, armchair small sofa and coffee table bad side tables beautiful mirrors and more… 3 windows in the room for east north and west with wonderful view each side. From the morning and evening you can hear the birds singing beautifully. Breakfast on the terrace is all I can ask for. Good coffee, orange juices, cereals yogurt fruit salad croissants and seeded baguette jam cheeses and more! The old houses restored carful and decorated with very good taste. The gardens around are magnificent. The swimming pools surrounding which is green and relaxing ,surrounded by trees and flowers. Christine and Christian is in charge, they are nice and warm. In the evening you can get for supper light and nice Taps and more. It is not too far from Ceret the place we came to visit. I will give the hotel 5 stars!!!

Stayed here for 4 nights in early July. The (second) new owers had only been there a week or so. The whole hotel was pretty and well kept- the pool area and garden exceptional (dont know what the last reviewwers saw that I didnt). Its true Sebastien and his wife didnt speak much English but they were so friendly and helpful-and with my school-girl french and lots of enthusiasm and occasional use of google we were able to chat- even managed to to talk a bit about politics- the UK government was melting down as we holidayed!. Our room was really lovely - we had the large room with a private terrasse- nice view and well appointed. We ate twice from their evening tapas menu- again very good quality- and good service. We would recommend for middle to older age couples- its quiet here so perhaps not lively enough for young people- and you do really need to have a car to see the area which we love-our 4th visit to this part of France. There was nothng we didnt enjoy- our only recomendation is that some work is done to improve the footpath down to the river and the picnic tables down there (but as noted above- they had only been in the place a week).

Three years ago my husband and I discovered this lovely boutique hotel. The grounds were impeccable, the food was delicious, and no small detail was missed. Thanks to the experienced owners, the atmosphere was gracious and relaxed. We raved to our friends. Last night we spent the night again but unfortunately the experience was vastly different. The new owners bought this place a year ago in the midst of Covid so we can understand the financial difficulty during this challenging time. However, the place was so very different. The poor owners seemed overwhelmed, the gardens were a mess, the breakfast ( which wasn't included in the price) was a disappointment (stale croissants in France...really our?!!), our room/bathroom was quite a bit old with weak-to-fluctuating-to-no wifi connections in our room. (This made me crazy as I had some last minute work to do.) The website said they spoke English but they didn't. It made us sad to see such a once beautiful, charming hotel reduced to this. But I am hopeful a wave of organization, calmness and sophistication returns. Fingers crossed.

Les propriétaires nous ont accueillis avec sourires et beaucoup de gentillesse. Le mas est très beau avec un jardin très agréable et piscine entourés de grands arbres. Très grande chambre avec salle de bain impeccable. Literie très confortable et très propre. Service de petite restauration le soir sur la terrasse avec plats préparés par la propriétaire : soupe de poissons, différentes salades et plateaux de charcuterie, tout cela très bien préparés et servis avec le sourire et au calme. Très agréable. Nous sommes restés 3 nuits et avons été ravis de notre séjour.

Hotel confortable, au calme, chambre spacieuse, climatisée, de plain-pied, avec une petite terrasse donnant sur la piscine. Malheureusement, beaucoup de moustiques (mais l'hôtelière n'y peut rien). Petit déjeuner copieux et gouteux. Nous repartons reposés par cette agréable étape.

Nous sommes restés trois jours en vacance, deux grand-parents et notre petite fille de huit ans. L'hôtel est un mas authentique, de toute beauté entouré d'arbres et de fleurs, avec une piscine superbe, une terrasse sous des parasols pour le petit déjeuner qui était excellent, une rivière où l'on peut se baigner en contre-bas de l'hôtel. Notre chambre le Néflier, avec une grande salle de bains et une petite terrasse, était magnifique, et très propre. Les propriétaires sont vraiment sympathiques. J'avais perdu un bijou et Christine s'est mise en quatre pour le chercher partout. Après notre départ, elle m'a renvoyé un peigne que j'avais oublié. Merci aux propriétaires de Le Mas Trilles pour ce beau séjour.
