About this country house rental
Atelier Maillol is named after the famous French sculptor who used this property as his studio. This unique ATELIER has been beautifully renovated by an architect, retaining a wealth of character. In its own grounds of drystone terraces and olive trees, the property accommodates 8 comfortably but can stretch to ten people(8 adults and 2 children) very comfortably both inside and out.
Atelier Maillol benefits from air conditioning, ( one room has no air con, but does have a fan for keeping the room cool), central heating and two wood burners and therefore is an ideal rental for both summer and winter. SKI RESORTS are hour away. Located on the edge of town, still within walking distance of all amenities and the beach, nearest beach is a 12 minute walk away, the property is perfectly private.
This spacious house has 4 double bedrooms, one being a family suite (ie. one bedroom leads off the master suite, ideal for young children who need to be close to parents). There are two extra single beds and a cot, should these be required.
It benefits from 3 bathrooms, three separate toilets, and has plenty of space to relax .
The fully equipped kitchen leads onto the terrace and eating area. Enjoy a good coffee from the coffee machine or the cafetière. Laundry facilities with washing machine and removable outdoor rotary clothes line are also available.
Wifi, Sonos and smart TV is available throughout the property, WIFI and Sonos also available on terraces outside.
The house has a large south facing garden. with loungers, a large jacuzzi/pool, outdoor shower, and shaded dining area on one of the terraces. There are further terraces to side and back, with spectacular views and further seating and eating areas. The main terrace has an outdoor kitchen/BBQ area with dining facilities, it is also perfect for sunbathing. There is the added bonus of an outdoor shower and Sonos speakers for sound both indoors and out
This gated property benefits from a carport and large drive for extra parking.
If food is your passion, there a plenty of fabulous restaurants, including a michelin star restaurant all within walking distance. Don’t leave Banyuls without trying Les 9 Caves, Xadic del Mar, for food and atmosphere, Le Fanal for the Michelin experience, La Litorine for the views and La Vielle Cave for their Pizza and well priced food.
Banyuls, has plenty to do, from hiring boats or jet skis at the Marina, to diving lessons where you can explore the marine nature reserve run by the University of Sorbonne.
The Museum Maillol is a 3 km walk from the house and the route des vin and 'Le chemin de la Liberte" are also close by for lovely walks.
It is believed that DINA VIERNY, the muse of ARISTIDE MAILLOL helped members of the resistance to escape over the border to Spain via this route from the studio.
The beaches of Paulilles and Racau are worth a visit. Both can be reached by bus.
There is also an electric bike at the house for the breakfast run. It can be used at your own risk. Please lock the bike up at all times when using please.
Atelier Maillol is easily accessible from
Both Perpignan airport and Barcelona either by train or by car.
Banyuls is perfectly located for easy access to Collioure, Argeles sur Mer, Cerbere and Spain ( only ten km away).

Our group (5 active adults, all in our 60's) loved our stay at l'Atelier Maillol. When not exploring the region and its attractions, we spent much of our time sitting on the terrace/deck, eating delicious local food and drinking tasty wines. The house is a wonderful hybrid of traditional architecture on the exterior and contemporary open design inside, made more special by its history and heritage as Maillol's working studio. The house's set-up of bedrooms and bathrooms offered privacy to all, allowing both group and alone time. Common living areas were comfortable, and the kitchen had all required amenities/appliances. The property's location offered both privacy and access to town, a pleasant 15-minute walk. We took many hikes, including on the trails along the coast leading both north towards Collioure and south towards Spain. Though Collioure is pretty, vibrant, and interesting, we preferred the vibe in Banyuls -- less crowded and touristy, wider and more open. Favorite destinations included the Dali house in Cadaques; Collioure's art museum, shops, and narrow streets; the museum in Ceret; the Maillol museum up the road a couple of miles (a pleasant walk); and, of course, local restaurants and cafes. A favorite pastime was to sit at a cafe facing the beach in Banyuls with a cafe creme or glass of wine, watching people walk by. Our one regret is that we never made time to try the on-site boules court. Special thanks to owner Celine who was helpful throughout our stay.

8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2021
Très belle maison, en deux parties autonomes (mais au sous-sol on entend bien les personnes au-dessus). Terrasses sympathiques et agréables. Maison proche de la plage des Elmes (15 min à pieds) et des commerces et de la plage centrale (2 min).
Garage difficile d'accès dans une ruelle en pente avec des voitures en stationnement sauvage partout. La cuisine principale manque de couverts et de vaisselle et il n'est pas possible de manger à l'intérieur quand on est plus que 2 et qu'il y a beaucoup trop de vent à l'extérieur. Il n'est pas précisé dans l'annonce, mais il faut venir avec un chèque de caution à laisser à l'agence qui remet les clefs.

Excellent séjour dans cette maison de caractère superbement agencée et décorée. Idéalement située près de la plage et des commerces, possédant de plus un garage très accessible pour loger un véhicule, c est vraiment un plus. Chacun a trouvé son espace de vie dans cette grande maison. Une terrasse à l ombre pour le petit déjeuner, et la deuxième avec une superbe vue pour le repas du soir. Ventilateur dans chaque chambre bien utile si grosse chaleur. Propriétaire très sympathique, ainsi que le personnel de l agence immobilière. Je recommande chaudement !!!!
