About this property

Light and spacious fishermans cottage two minutes from the beach.

Our old, renovated fisherman’s house has kept the French charm and atmosphere. The apartment is located in the more quiet area of Collioure (Foubourg), which can be nice when you feel the need of peace and quiet.

In the morning, it is wonderful to stroll down the street 100 m for a morning bath, followed by a ‘petit déjeuner’ at St.Elme.

When entering the stairs in the apartment, you will be met by lights and a beautiful view to the east and to the sea.
The open kitchen and living room gives the apartment a great space. With a big dining table, comfortable couches and modern kitchen.
The apartment gives you inspiration for whatever you should desire, home cooking, wonderful music, space for reading or just relaxing near by the fireplace a cold winter day -listening to the waves from the meditarian sea with you can watch thrue the windows.
There are three balconies ,and one great terrace with wonderful view, with is perfect for dining and relaxing.

There are two main bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. Both of the rooms have double beds and one closet in each. The bathrooms are designed in a delicate Italian style.

You come to the mezzanine by the stairways in the sitting room, a place where you can watch TV, and pull back to yourself in a good sofa.
This is also a wonderful sleeping place with a nice bed next to small, charming windows. ( The 5th sleeping place)

Seaside living at its best

We arrived in Collioure by train and enjoyed a late afternoon walk through the village to the house. The first impression on entering the house was that the view of Collioure from the main living area and terrace are amazing. Pictures don’t really capture how beautiful it is. The location is perfect, quiet yet very close to the sea and many restaurants and bars. The hosts have also taken real care with every element of the house. It is rare to stay somewhere so perfect.

I would 100% recommend staying in this property if you are visiting Collioure, this is our 5th visit and by far the best property we have stayed in. Thank you Tone, we will be back.

Perfect week in Collioure

We enjoyed a wonderful week at this apartment in Collioure. It is very comfortably furnished. The views to the sea are delightful. The proximity of the beach is marvellous. At the same time, it is also surprisingly quiet. The owners of this property were excellent correspondents and offered helpful advice ahead of our arrival. We look forward to staying at this property again in the future. It was a perfect week in a lovely town.

Great location, beautiful little house

We had a great stay at this property… it was exceptionally clean & located in a lovely street. There are 2 double bedrooms with ceiling fans which were very welcome with the hot weather. Also two portable fans which were great. The mezzanine was a little too hot during the really hot weather but a lovely breeze through the house too. Check in and check out were easy … communication excellent. Will definitely revisit! Thanks Tone & Dyran!

Nice apartment very close to a good beach

Nice well-equipped apartment which has been tastefully renovated and is a very short walk to the beach and restaurants. If travelling by car I would recommend unloading at the end of Rue Camille Desmoulins which is effectively a cul-de-sac and easy to access from the main road . We also found that the only car parks which allow long term (> 6 hour) parking are Parking du Stade and Parking du Chateau d'Eau , both of which are a 15 min walk uphill from the apartment. If driving to the closer car park (Parking de la Riere) from the apartment , don't follow Google Maps as it tries to route via a very low bridge which looks virtually impassable. The Chateau Royal is well worth a visit and inexpensive , also good to drive along to the coast over the border to Spain to visit some of the small towns such as Colera. Thanks also to Tone and Henrik who were very responsive when we had an issue with fans (it was very hot during our stay) which was addressed over the first weekend.

Collioure family holiday

We had a wonderful time in Henrik and Tone’s apartment. It was even better than we had expected - great location on quiet pretty street but very close to beach and rest of the town. We had our 16 month son and the apartment was very safe and well-equipped for us. It was lovely to get to meet Henrik and Tone too and we felt very welcome. Thank you so much!

Beautiful!

Our first time in Collioure. It is a beautiful little town only made better by our stay in this wonderful apartment. Its set in pretty cobbled backstreets a short walk from the beach. The view from the apartment is stunning. The only downside was having to leave. We will hopefully be back very soon!

Beautiful apartment in a beautiful town

We’ve just returned from a wonderful stay in Collioure. We loved the apartment. It is in the perfect area - quiet but still very close to the beaches, restaurants. And the apartment itself is beautiful. Really well equipped and very comfortable. Best of all - an amazing view. Five stars all round.

Utterly charming beautifully renovated fisherman's house in Collioure.

My family and I are just back from a fantastic week staying in Tone and Henrick's beautiful house. This is a fabulous place, very old but beautifully renovated and only a few minutes walk to all the lovely amenities which Collioure has to offer; shops, beaches, castle & numerous fantastic restaurants serving amazing fresh fish and shellfish! We would love to return as we enjoyed our stay so much and I would thoroughly recommend this house to others. You won't be disappointed.

Escape

We had a wonderful time in this charming and very well presented house. The house is so well maintained and clean with everything available for a relaxing holiday, or stress free holiday. ( you can easily party away in the many bars and restaurants near the beach) The house is in a very quiet and peaceful little street with great views of the sea. I really hope to come back very soon.

A little piece of Heaven

We wanted a taste of living like a local.....which is exactly what we got - in luxury! To end each wonderful day in Collioure watching the sun set over the harbour, from our balcony was a holiday highlight. The apartment had everything you could want and all furnishings were stylish and comfortable.....the only 2 suggestions would be for - english channels on the TV (Boys love to watch the Cricket!) and access to the terrace (looked lovely!) 3 recommendations for your stay here are - Le Cave Fefe, fo fabulous aperitifs and nibbles.....Can Pla Restaurant, divine fish soup and a day on La Plage Bernadi, Port Vendres..... We fully intend on returning and will recommend this beautiful apartment to all who will listen.....a memory for life x

Perfect Collioure accommodation

The apartment was fantastic. Everything was of a high standard, and the location means it's a great base for exploring Collioure while still offering peace and quiet (the town itself can get incredibly busy, particularly on market days). The owners were very welcoming and helpful, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Perfect apartment in historic Collioure

While only a few minutes walk to the centre of the tourist area, this beautifully renovated property is nestled in a quiet and peaceful old residential quarter and makes you feel a part of the everyday life of this picturesque historic town. The apartment has been stylishly renovated and refitted throughout, with a great kitchen (new induction stove top and oven) and appliances including dishwasher and clothes washing machine. The two main bedrooms each have ensuite bathrooms, and the spacious upstairs mezzanine has more couches, TV, and an extra bed. The owners are very helpful and welcoming. It really is a perfect place to holiday and so central to food shops and restaurants. We had a wonderful week there and look forward to when we can return.

Charming and perfeclty located

This charming house is the perfect one for your stay in Collioure. 2 min to the beach and castle, but still not right in the middle of the crowded center of Collioure. The house is well renovated, you'll immediately feel at home. Very nice view on the sea from one of the 3 small balconies. All the equipment you need, cosy atmosphere, sleeps 6 persons easily. We will recommend to our friends and come back when we can.

Beautiful house in perfect location

Fisherman's Cottage is a beautifully renovated, spotlessly clean house situated 1-2 minutes walk from the beach, shops, restaurants, Collioure castle & a children's playground. It has been superbly decorated using very natural materials & in a rustic / nautical style. Fully equipped, including excellent wifi, there is nothing missing from this house! 2 downstairs bedrooms are very comfortable, one with a sea view. The upstairs mezzanine has a large screen TV & would suit children but in the height of summer, this space can feel very hot due to small windows. Also, pedestrian access to the house is via a short but steep hill on a side street so might not suit people of limited mobility. Otherwise, we would love to return ASAP! A real treasure of a house!

Great sea views

A wonderful fisherman’s cottage in beautiful Collioure! We had a fantastic stay at Tone’s home. It was as described with nice furnishings and a comfortable bed. The view of the sea from the living room was so lovely. When all the doors are open there’s also a nice breeze that helps keep the house cool since there isn’t AC. We hope to return for another stay.

About the host

Hosted by Tone Dyran Smith

Host profile image
We are a family who lives in Norway. In 2006 we visited Collioure for the first time and discovered a small pitoresque fishermans village just like the well known fauvisme painters Matisse and Manet. Since then we have regularly spent all our summer holidays there.
One day in 2013, strolling around in the old narrow and charming streets we found a 300 year old fisherman cottage for sale and we fell in love with it and bought it.
By then a renovation project started which lasted for approximately two years. The underlying importance for the work was safety for the children, light and open space. Stairway gates are certainly installed. A beautiful view to the sea and a lot of open space make the apartment attractive. An old fireplace is installed which is good to have in the chilly part of the year when the wind blows and the waves can be heard from the ocean near by.
We have also discovered the adventure of hiking for shorter or longer distances overlooking winefields and maybe see and eagle fly against the blue sky.
By this we would like our guests to have a pleasant stay in our apartment, so please do not hesitate to contact us if any questions.
