Stunning tall ceilings, huge windows and free-flowing natural daylight set the scene for a blissful city break by the sea from this ideal hotspot in central Marseille. We love the original features that retain the character of the space here, from the exposed wooden beams to the terracotta tiled flooring – you'll be reminded of your Mediterranean location, despite the home's city centre location. And while you'll be in prime position for soaking up the vibrancy of Marseille, the two bedrooms rather conveniently overlook the courtyard – giving guests a quiet place to rest their heads at night. From here, you'll be able to see and do almost everything on foot. From the Old Port to the train station and the bars, shops and restaurants of the city – there'll be little need to step foot on public transport if you enjoy strolling around in the sunshine. However, if you decide to hit the beach, for example, the public transport system is easily reachable and opens the opportunity to explore all corners of the city. For those keen to discover the local nature, why not rent a car and discover the breathtaking natural beauty and hidden coves in the Calanques National Park?
