About this property

Gite in Provence in an idyllic setting

For your holidays in Provence, we will welcome you in our charming gite. Ideally located between the Marseille and Cassis town centre, we rent out all year long. In the surroundings, you will find a large variety of cultural and sporting leisure activities for all tastes. For those who prefer to stay at home, the pool and its luxuriant garden will offer you a well-deserved rest.


The house is in the middle of a luxuriant garden of 1 000 sq.m, in the heart of Marseille and in a quiet place!

You can enjoy our beautiful beaches (Cassis, Saint-Cyr) or the crystal clear water in the (coves) calanques. You will discover the beauty of Provence while walking around the Sainte-Victoire, the Sainte Baume or the Hills of Garlaban.
Finally, while sipping a Pastis, you will end your day under the shade of a plane tree in a small Provencal village (Gémenos, Allauch Le Castellet, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Les Baux-de-Provence). And if you have enough energy left, you can try the 'Pétanque'!
You won't miss either the Provencal cuisine and the discovery of our world renowned wines and why not visiting some vineyards.

You will also have the privilege to attend many theatre festivals (Aix-en-Provence, Avignon) and music festivals (Voix du Gaou, La Roque-d'Anthéron).

In one word, our villa offers you rest in a green setting but also many activities for all tastes and all ages.


When you need to buy food, you can do grocery shopping by foot. For your leisure purchases, the mall of La Valentine is 5 min away by car; there you will also find a cinema and restaurants. You can reach the town centre (tram stop 100m away) in 20 min, but also Cassis, Aix-en-Provence, Pagnol's landscapes, Marseille's Calanques by quick access...and let's not forget the training centre at the Olympique de Marseille (15 min away by foot) and the Golf courses of La Salette and Allauch 10 min away by car. This house is also 15 min away from the hydrotherapeutic cure centre of Camoins-les-Bains. The owners' villa is nearby.
The pool is closed on Sunday and shared with the owner.
A catalogue containing all the useful information for your stay is available. Here, cultural, sporting and discovery activities will be offered. You will see that the region offers all sorts of activities and outings, for all tastes and all ages.

1 semaine de bonheur
Nous avons énormément appréciés notre séjour au sein de la propriété de Nicolas. Le logement est super bien équipé, fonctionnel et la literie de bonne qualité. Les propriétaires sont très discret, arrangeant et agréable. La localisation est vraiment géniale dans une rue très calme mais aussi avec le tram à 300 mètres, une petite gare à 1km et un supermarché juste à côté du tram. La piscine est vraiment superbe, grande, propre et bien entretenue. Merci encore pour ces quelques jours au soleil. Anita et Alexandre.

A lovely place ideal for families with young kids
Ideal for young families secure clean and with very helpful owners on site. Car parking outside the property but good value for money and access to all areas around Marseille. Cassis worth the visit and use tram underground for the old port. Cheers Deano

What a lovely place!
We spent a week here, and had the most wonderful relaxing time! Not least because the owners are really lovely, helpful and friendly people, and had planned and thought through every little detail in the property so that you had everything you could possibly need. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the peaceful surroundings. Loads of convenient facilities nearby, with good access by public transport to Marseilles, and by road to the lovely Cassis and the Calanques. Nicolas (who speaks pretty good English too) was very helpful, giving us plenty of really useful advice about the good things to see and do and how best to get there as well as the things to avoid. There were also loads of guides and useful printouts of all the things we could need for our holiday in Marseille. The place is really well equipped with a very good quality kitchen/diner and shower room. Perfect for a couple (like us) or a small family. Very comfy bed too! We got a lot more than we expected out of this property and would love to stay here again. We would recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful place to stay in Marseille.

Very nice place!
We've enjoyed our stay very much. The pool was great, the house is beautiful decorated, the kitchen is perfectly equiped and the garden has got a very nice atmosfeer. It is a little paradise, with al the facilities nearby: small and big supermarkets and of course the tram which brings you to the center of Marseille. We've enjoyed our stay very much, thank you Nicolas en Cécile, for your hospitality and your enthusiastic advice for where to go to in the area!

Nice little villa in Marseilles
We spend one week in this nice little villa in Marseilles. Easy accessible in to the city center with the tram just outside. The owners of the villa were very friendly and helpful. The villa is fully equipped and the pool is lovely. In the garden there was a pavilion where we could rest and seek shadow from the sun, very nice!

Le calme dans la verdure à Marseille
Un coin de rêve en plein coeur de Marseille, au calme d'un jardin tranquille. À conseiller pour un couple ou une famille avec enfant, l'appartement lumineux est décoré avec goût. Tout est clair et moderne, propre et pratique. Le tram et la gare sont proches, on peut visiter Marseille sans voiture. Le quartier de villas est très tranquille, pour faire les courses par contre il vaut mieux avoir une voiture. Les repas sous la tonnelle au bord de la piscine... quel luxe dans une grande ville. Je recommande vivement cette adresse, aux propriétaires charmants.

Les photos de présentation de ce coin de Paradis reflètent bien la réalité : située dans un quartier très calme, cette charmante villa, très fonctionnelle et bien équipée, brille par sa piscine agréable et reposante, aux formes arrondies. Accueil sans fausse note, que du positif ! Merci aux hôtes :)
