Villa Darby deserves all its five star reviews. It is very spacious and is possibly the best equipped accommodation we have ever stayed at. The outside space is fantastic with three terraces to enjoy the magnificent views from. The pool is such a welcome escape from the heat and we thoroughly enjoyed relaxing here every day. Keith has really thought of everything to keep his guests entertained. There is table tennis, pool table, countless games and one of the most eclectic book collections I’ve seen. We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to return. Collioure is such a beautiful place with its quaint little streets, great beaches and majestic mountains. Villa Darby is the ideal location to explore this wonderful area. Thanks again Keith.

Beautiful Collioure
Fabulous weeks holiday in Collioure with the family. Not our first time to Collioure but had not stayed at villa Darby or this part of the town previously. Villa had plenty of space to accommodate all 7 of us. The views were magnificent from all terraces. We ate at the villa 4 out of the 7 nights and found the BBQ easy to use and all cooking equipment was readily available. In the daytime we spent time either relaxing around the pool or walked into Collioure and enjoyed the beaches. Easy walk down but a bit of an effort coming back up especially for my pregnant daughter in law (they used David's Taxi company to get back up the hill) The only challenging part of this holiday was the extreme heat as we arrived at the same time as a heatwave with temperatures approaching 40 C! The nighttime temperatures made sleeping a bit tricky even with all the fans provided at the villa.Thankyou Keith for sharing villa Darby: loved it

An ideal, beautiful property for a family with adult children! Merci beaucoup!
Lovely stay at Villa Darby - quiet location, loads of fun entertainments in the property! Loved playing table tennis, all the books and games - brilliant for keeping a family with adult children entertained. The kitchen was very well equipped and easy to use. The view from Villa Darby was incredible, the photos really don’t do it justice. Keith’s communication made the stay very easy, especially putting our nerves at ease as we were new to VRBO.
We LOVED Collioure, it had more than enough to do for a week, incredible food, lovely beaches, great hikes and very pretty. Each morning we ate breakfast on the local beach which was delightful. The markets shouldn’t be missed either! In particular we loved dinner at Casa Leon and Le Vauban - would highly recommend both.
Overall, a truly lovely holiday - we would love to return to Collioure again, there is so much still to do! One small thing to note may be that the property has quite a steep hill up to it - this didn’t bother us at all but can be a little unpleasant in the middle of the day. Something to note if you have mobility issues or young children.

The house was beautiful and very well kept, with a well-equipped kitchen. The wifi was very weak, but I believe that is a Collioure-wide problem, and the host was very speedy with suggestions to get it going when it lapsed.

Beautiful Villa
Having stayed in villas across France for many years, we have no hesitation in saying this is one of the the best we have ever stayed in .
Setting aside how beautiful Collioure itself is for now, the villa itself is beautifully decorated, immaculately clean and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a holiday.
The kitchen is especially good for a holiday rental with every you could possibly need to enjoy cooking with the beautiful fresh produce can buy in the local area.
The several terraces all provide sun / shade at different times of the day and the upper terrace with the pool and covered seating area was very well used given the temperature was pushing 39C during our stay .
Collioure itself is a beautiful maritime town with a huge array of restaurants, serving an amazing array of seafood with a French / Catalan mix.
Can’t recommend Villa Derby enough, in fact we loved ti so much we will be going back again next year

Fabulous vacation home in a fabulous village
We have rented several places in Collioure over the past decade and this was by far the best, inside and out. The kitchen was well equipped and there was lovely library. The beds were very comfortable, and there were plenty of towels and homey touches. There are three exquisite outside spaces that are beautifully maintained, including a ping pong table, which we loved.
The owner responded promptly and was super helpful and nice. The experience was perfect in every way.

Fantastic property, spectacular views in a beautiful part of France
We've rented many villas in France over the years but this was the best. The property is spacious, well equipped and comfortable. Even with 8 people it didn't feel crowded. A steep walk up the hill from the town is a small price to pay for the stunning view from the front of the house. The pool area has plenty of shade if it gets too hot and gets cleaned regularly. Air conditioning would have been a bonus but there were plenty of electric fans available.

We have just had an amazing holiday in Collioure staying in Villa Derby.
The house is well located and very well equipped for two families. Beds very comfortable and lovely linen. Relaxing spaces outside (3 terraces!) and another under cover, which means you can dine in different areas, retreat from the scorching sun or simply get some peace by escaping the kids! Would be sure to stay again if returning to Collioure.

Excellent property in a fantastic place
Five adult family members stayed at Villa Darby for a week in June. We had visited the town before on day trips and because we loved it decided to look for somewhere local to stay. Collioure did not disappoint and neither did Villa Darby.
Whilst we were there the weather was extremely hot for the time of year (mid to high 30s). Villa Darby has an open air swimming pool which was very well used. In addition there were plenty of different areas of shade so everyone had their own space. Equally there was plenty of room for those who wished to soak up the sun!
Whilst there we never ate inside, the outside table was large and could be shaded by the large umbrellas. The gas barbecue was easy to use, and was used a lot. By the pool there was an outdoor fridge in a bar area for those who didn't feel like walking down a few steps back to the villa. In addition there was a fully equipped table tennis table which kept players and spectators alike entertained in the cool of the evening.
In fact the phrase 'well equipped' could be applied to the whole of Villa Darby. We have stayed in holiday accommodation ranging from flats to chateau and can safely say that none were so well equipped. We lacked nothing -except perhaps a tea pot- from towels to fans, and everything in between including books, DVDs and CDs
Older members of our party found the hill from the shore to the property somewhat steep, but that had a lot to do with the heat. Anyway we found a free parking place at the bottom of the hill where we parked on couple of occasions to provide an easier climb for the oldies
Suffice to say we enjoyed our stay at Villa Darby so much we are looking to return next year!

Très jolie maison ! L’accès à la maison et à la piscine est très escarpée il faut etre en forme. Parking devant la maison pratiquement impossible il y’a un parking à quelques mètres mais pas toujours disponible. La vue de la maison est vraiment belle ! Une bouteille de crémant et d’eau fraîche nous attendaient dans le frigo nous avons vraiment apprécié ! La table de ping-pong et le billard nous ont bien amusés. Bémol pour le billard qui se trouve au sous-sol où l’odeur d’humidité n’est pas agréable la piscine (verte à notre arrivée) aurait mérité un entretien plus soutenue, Maison très bien équipée et joliment décorée !!

Fin d'année à Collioure
Vacances extraordinaires passées dans cette superbe maison très bien équipée qui nous a permis d'accueillir nos familles entre noël et Jour de l'An après 2 ans de pandémie.
Chacun y a trouvé matière à s'occuper, surtout entre billard et table de ping-pong. Sans parler de quelques bains de soleil sur les canapés du balcon, bref, un temps magnifique typique de Collioure en cette fin d'année.
Literie confortable, rien n'a manqué, nous nous sommes sentis comme à la maison. Et quartier très calme avec une vue imprenable sur les hauteurs de Collioure. L'annonce ne nous a pas trompés, la description a été fidèle à ce que nous y avons trouvé. Nous recommandons fortement et reviendrons sûrement si la maison est disponible. Merci à Keith pour sa confiance et à Monica pour nous avoir préparé la maison et sa disponibilité à la remise des clés.

On a passé 2 semaine fantastique à Collioure.
La propriété est situé dans un environnement calme avec une vue fantastique sur les montagnes. La maison est spacieux, lumineux et très bien équipée . Les enfants (et nous) ont aimé le pool, et on y a passé beaucoup de temps :) la table de billard et de ping pong sont un vrai surplus!
Avec Keith, le propriétaire, on a eu un contact agréable et sympathique.
Seul petit minus est la propreté quand nous sommes arrivées.
Néansmoins on recommande fortement le séjour dans cette belle maison!
We spend 2 awesome weeks at Collioure.
The Villa is in an excellent position with a great view!
The house is spacious and bright and the equipment is excellent.
We really loved the pool and spend a lot of time in the lovely pool area.
The ping pong and billiard table are a nice to have :)
