Located in the 5th arrondissement of Marseille, just minutes from the iconic Vieux Port by public transport, this beautiful and calm flat is an ideal base from which to discover Marseille. Bold colours and modern furnishings paint a bright and airy space to relax – we love the contrast between the contemporary furnishings and original French features typical of the city's traditional architecture. From the black marble fireplace to the large wooden dining table and chairs, an air of French chic persists throughout the home despite its quirky range of modern accessories and designs. Location is everything at this spot, as you'll be perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of what the city has to offer. The best way to experience the Mediterranean colours and way of life is by wandering around the charming streets of Marseille and its tourist hotspots on foot. Wind up at the historic Place Castellane, just a nine-minute stroll away, before extending your walk to Cours Julien and eventually ending at Vieux Port. We recommend taking regular pitstops for refreshing cocktails and snack breaks too. Oh, and don't forget to pack some comfortable walking shoes.
