Serviced Apartments in Collioure

Collioure is almost on the border between France and Spain, where the Pyrenees meet the sea. It has little rocky coves and outcrops and it is no wonder that it has been very popular with artists for over a century. Collioure holiday rentals are a wonderful way to relax. The town is very typical of the area, with medieval streets and a fortified castle and the church right on the bay. The church is very unusual in that it is converted from a lighthouse and it is unlikely that you would find this staying anywhere other than an apartment rental in Collioure.

If you are an artist yourself, or interested in twentieth century art, you will love staying in a serviced apartment in Collioure. Artists have loved the place for generations and some of the most famous ones of the 20th century – Matisse, Picasso and Rennie Mackintosh for example – have spent time painting there. As you wander around near your Collioure short term apartment you will find examples of their work displayed in front of the actual view it shows, so you can see what they did at the time.

Writers also have loved Collioure and Patrick O’Brian, author of the Master and Commander books among many others, lived there for over fifty years until his death in 2000. It is hardly surprising that an historical novelist would love the town and as you look around the fascinating church and the very well preserved castle whilst staying in a holiday let in Collioure, you may well be moved to put pen to paper as well. Who knows, your holiday blog might make you famous!

The cuisine of this part of France is justly famous and you will have loads of choice when it comes to eating out when you rent a holiday apartment in Collioure.

Gourmets are pretty much agreed that the anchovies from Collioure are the best in the world, so if you are going to acquire a taste for them, this is the place to do it. Take some back to your Collioure holiday let and have a nice light lunch with lettuce, fresh bread and some olive oil. You will definitely come back for more!
