A contemporary villa where natural materials meet clean architectural lines, where designer pieces coexist with carefully chosen ethnic artworks, Villa Balāo sits quietly within a Mediterranean garden, shaped by light and seasonal rhythms.
More than a Gay Boutique Guesthouse, it is a true home — warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully lived in. A place designed for men seeking calm, comfort and aesthetic harmony. Here, time slows down.
Relax. Read. Listen to the birds. Take a nap in the shade.
Feel the breeze on your sun-warmed bare skin.
Enjoy a massage.
Move at your own pace.
A game of pétanque or a shared aperitif gently extends the evening, followed by a refined Mediterranean dinner inspired by season and place. Then the stars.
At Villa Balāo, you come to breathe.
To reconnect. Naturally.

Five-star experience!
The house and room are beautiful and very comfortable. The pool and jacuzzi were excellent.
Jérôme and Pascal were very welcoming and provided lots of ideas and information about the area.
I ordered the set menu one evening – delicious! And the breakfasts were very generous.
I would gladly return.

Jérôme and Pascal opened this week… and honestly, we have absolutely no complaints. The pool is fantastic, the jacuzzi is superb. The house is very classy and beautifully decorated. The breakfast is very generous and varied (scrambled eggs, fruit, yogurt, toast, pastries, and homemade cakes).
The rooms are spacious. And the hosts are very helpful and welcoming. You can book with complete confidence.

If you’re looking for a relaxing stay in a spacious, well-equipped, and comfortable guesthouse, then look no further than Jérôme and Pascal’s.
Everything is very well thought out, and the heated pool and jacuzzi are a real treat.
Not to mention the breakfast and dinner, prepared with great care to ensure everyone is happy. Everything is perfect. Absolutely nothing to complain about.
Jérôme and Pascal are also available, but they are very discreet and respectful.
Un très grand Merci.

What can I say… nothing, everything is perfect. The setting is magnificent and peaceful, our hosts are incredibly attentive, a true little paradise on earth.
Bo
Everything was perfect!
The house is fantastic, brand new, and incredibly charming. The hosts are absolutely exceptional: very helpful and welcoming.
The bedrooms are accessed from the hall, and the terrace is directly accessible. Everything is furnished with high-quality products. The garden and the 30-degree pool are very pleasant.
In addition to the idyllic setting, a generous breakfast is served every morning, and it’s possible to order dinner on certain days. Don’t miss this opportunity: the hosts are excellent cooks.
The house is ideally located between the old town and the new town: everything is within walking distance. It’s a very quiet place, reflecting the character of the town.
We had a wonderful stay and will gladly return.
