I bought this 300 year old stone fisherman's home to house my art gallery and have a place to paint where artists such as Matisse and Picasso lived and worked.
The village is known for it's primal painted fishing boats and it's glorious beaches and small walking streets which are inspiration for the creative spirit.
Collioure is a magical place to nurture your soul.

I enjoyed my week in the 2nd story apartment belonging to the owner/artist. The location on the street of galleries is great but at the end of the street (20 feet from the apartment) is an elementary school which produces quite a bit of noise all day during school as the play ground faces the apartment. A restaurant has also opened across the tiny street which generates noise until at least 11 at night. Since there is not air conditioning, you need to leave the windows open so it is noisy. Plus the street seems to lead to one of the major parking areas so they are groups of people walking by till at least midnight---they are just visiting but in that small space it feels as if they are in your room. Plus the motorcycle parking is at the end of the street and that was quite annoying---much revving of motors. The apartment is cute---I slept on the day bed as the bedroom alcove was too claustrophobic for me---sort of a sleeping closet. The day bed was passable but not truly comfortable. The toilet bowl could use a good cleaning and the shower was disgusting with mold and a shower head held up with blue painter tape---so it usually fell on your head. There was hot water in the kitchen sink but the shower was hit and miss and never stayed constant. It there are guests in the upper apartment, you will hear their every move---they were here for half my stay. The apartment looks just like the photos but the experience does not match the photos---noise from every direction.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, tourists without a car.
