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.

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.
Logement conforme à la description voire même mieux en vrai que sur les photos. Un coin calme et paisible proches commodités. Tous les avantages de Marseille sans ses inconvénients. Belle piscine pour se prélasser au soleil. On se sent comme à la maison. Et les hôtes sont très sympas ce qui nous poussera certainement a renouveler l’expérience. Je recommande, réservez les yeux fermés !
Nous sommes venus passer une semaine dans la maison de Nicolas. Le lien est idéalement situé, au calme, proche de tous les sites touristiques (avec la voiture), bien desservi également par le tram. La maison est très propre et bien équipée, nous avons même pu bénéficier d'une chaise haute et d'une baignoire adaptée à bébé. On a pas pu vraiment profiter de la piscine à cause de la météo mais elle était comme sur les images, spacieuse et entrevue. Le jardin luxuriant rajoute du charme à ce lieu.Les propriétaires sont sympathiques et très discrets. Nous recommandons cette location.Les p.

Logement très bien ( climatisé, fonctionnel , literie impeccable ) , dans une propriété calme. Les propriétaires sont très accueillants disponibles, et discrets. A recommander sans hésiter
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.
Tram pour le vieux à 100 m. supermarché à 200m. Grande discrétion des hôtes. Quartier tranquille.

Nicht ideal
Im September gab es Schnaken ohne Ende. Der Garten war ungepflegt, das Haus des Vermietets in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft

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

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!
