"Collioure has no shadows” said Andre Derain, Matisse’s collaborator and so it appears, sun drenched for over 300 days a year Collioure really is a ‘gem of the south'.  Collioure is nestled in a Mediterranean bay on the ‘Cote Vermeille’, once an old fishing port and then the main port for the city of Perpignan in the middle ages, it is today a lively yet beautifully relaxing place to stay.

Situated above the village with stunning views extending to the sea you will find ‘Villa St Elme’. A large and welcoming family home owned by Nigel and Louise Johnson, here you will be able to enjoy all the peace and tranquility of the countryside yet at just a few minutes walk to the beaches and cobbled streets of the village you will be enticed by the atmosphere that is Collioure (not to mention the fabulous local wines of Banyuls and the extremely tempting tastes of locally caught anchovies for which Collioure amongst other things is well known for).

Villa St Elme is principally divided into two main appartments with the possibility to accomodate comfortably upto 18 people. Complete with two large terraces, a smaller breakfast terrace and a garden with a jacuzzi/plunge-pool to the rear of the property there are many great spots to relax and un-wind. The property also benefits from an off-road parking space.
