About this property

Art-deco villa located in the heart of the charming little port of the island of Port-Cros

Maison Balaÿ in Port-Cros, remodeled by Architect Marc Brillaud de Laujardière in the 1930s, offers you a unique Art Deco style on the island of Port-Cros. Its architecture with rounded columns, its large openings on the sea offer a breathtaking view of the bay and the island of Bagaud. Staying true to the Provencal style, the house was completely renovated in 2015.

A very beautiful staircase lined with vines leads to the central terrace, arranged with a plancha corner for good grilling, a beautiful fitted kitchen and an elegant double living room. The ground floor also offers a master bedroom with bathroom and view of the Fort du Moulin. There are seven additional bedrooms on the upper floor - three with a double bed and four with two twin beds. The upper floor also offers access to a 60 square meter terrace, furnished with an outdoor lounge protected from the sun by a pretty pergola. A few lounge chairs invite you to relax, this magical place offers a spectacular view of the port, the bay, the Fort du Moulin and the Ile de Bagaud without forgetting a magnificent sunset. An outdoor shower located at the entrance of the house is ideal for rinsing off after returning from the beach or cooling off at any time of the day.

The island of Port-Cros is entirely pedestrian; the pretty little port invites you to play beautiful games of pétanque at the end of the day while the children play hide and seek around the many palm trees. There are 5 restaurants at your disposal within a few minutes walk. A small grocery store is open every day to complete your food shopping.
Port-Cros is a national park since 1963, its flora and fauna are rich, a multitude of pretty shaded paths lead you to the beaches and invite you to the highest point of the island for a panoramic view of the islands of Hyères.

Très belle maison , sur le port.
Ce qui est particulièrement précieux, c'est l'aide apportée par une personne de confiance des propriétaires: pour les courses, le ménage, des plats préparés éventuellement, la location d'un bateau. Cette très grande maison ne pourrait d'ailleurs pas fonctionner sans son aide et de plus sur une île.

Words cannot describe the beautiful setting and comfort of this lovely harborside home on Port Cros
It was a magical experience approaching Port Cros harbor on the ferry, and we couldn't believe our good fortune when we saw the property we would be spending our time on the island. The home is a historic figure of the island community and provides a very comfortable and convenient setting for relaxation and island exploration. It has a sprawling layout with lovely outdoor areas for entertaining, including a terraced dining area on the main floor off of the kitchen and main living room, as well as an expansive veranda on the second floor with outstanding views of the harbor, village and surrounding hills and sea. It is a wonderful setting for family and friends to gather and celebrate with plenty of room to stretch and opportunity for privacy. We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the beautiful island of Port Cros - hiking, boating, kayaking, swimming - and we couldn't imagine a more perfect place to stay than this lovely harborside home.

Au coeur de l'île et de sa vie, une maison familiale tout confort.
Pour les amoureux de la nature, comment rêver mieux que Port-Cros ? Dans cet écrin, la villa nous a permis de passer en famille 15 jours vraiment très agréables : pièces claires, confortables et refaites tout récemment. Salles d'eau tout confort. Cuisine entièrement équipée. Toute la maison a l'âme d'une maison de famille avec une décoration et un côté pratique vraiment réussis, adaptés à la vie de famille en vacances : solarium et salons avec grands canapés, tables de repas dedans et dehors confortables pour 12 personne. Un bémol ? la tranquillité générale du lieu fait résonner tout bruit. Le soir et la nuit, la musique et les conversations des autres habitants nous ont parfois semblé avoir eu lieu dans la pièce à côté. Cela apporte de la vie ou dérange le calme selon chacun.

La maison Balay est un bijou
La maison Balay est un véritable bijou à préserver !! Nous avons passé 2 semaines de rêve en famille et entre amis. Tout est bien pensé dans cette villa restaurée avec goût. Un petit coin de paradis...

Séjour inoubliable
Nous avons redécouvert en famille cette ile magnifique. Une ambiance grisante après le départ du dernier bateau, des plongées sublimes depuis le bateau, une vue imprenable sur la vie du port et toute l'anse de Port Cros depuis les terrasses. Une maison magique sur une ile paradisiaque, un cocktail inoubliable. Je souhaite remercier les propriétaires de la maison Balay de nous avoir aider à organiser ce séjour merveilleux.
