Collioure is a lovely village with spectacular views, seaside charm and amazing layers of history. Hotel Madeloc was a great place to stay - just a short walk to the restaurants, beach, castle/fort and town center. The interior of the hotel is charmingly retro, modernized but retaining its original sixties decor at the same time. The staff was warm and welcoming, rooms were clean, facilities were simple but comfortable, and the continental breakfast was good. Only drawback is that they do not have an elevator, and being that most of their rooms are located on upper floors (we were on the fourth), managing luggage up the stairways was a bit challenging (for us and for our very helpful front desk clerk who helped haul one of our bags up). Other than that, the place was perfect.
