Loved our stay in beautiful Cassis!
This is a charming, traditional French country home located on the hill above Cassis. We were there with a family group of 10 people for four nights in August and all of us loved our stay. We especially enjoyed the ample outdoor space and multiple seating areas. The weather was perfect so we started every day with coffee outside and ended every day with rosé, cheese and bread outside, enjoying the beautiful view of the Mediterranean. The house was peaceful and comfortable and the bathrooms have recently been updated so they are quite clean and functional. The kitchen, while small, has newer high end appliances that served us well, and there are plenty of dishes, pots and pans, etc, for a large group. We also appreciate that there are basics in the house like oil, vinegar and spices. We didn’t spend much time inside expect to sleep; the beds were comfortable and there were fans for each room which was appreciated during the warm nights. WiFi worked well and we were glad to have the washing machine after 6 days at a hotel in Paris. The home also had some beach equipment for guests’ use, like snorkel gear and chairs, which we used and enjoyed. We couldn’t find more than one beach towel so that would be a welcome addition to the beach supplies.
The house is situated a 10 minute walk from town and about 5 minutes from Plage Bestouan. The hill is steep so it was a bit hard on my 82 year old Dad who had to take it very slow. Also, if the house is full, as it was with our group, note that two of the bedrooms are accessible through other bedrooms. Something to be kept in mind if privacy and quiet are big concerns.
Overall it’s a lovely home and the owner was friendly and easy to work with. Cassis is hard to beat, we were all sad to leave.
