Perched high above the Old Port and with impressive views at each end, this sky-grazing apartment offers the perfect base for those looking to make the most of Marseille’s coastal culture. This bright space packs a punch with its soft blush tones, 70s modern furnishings and glass walls that flood the open-plan living room with light. The views are what really grab us here. Wake up in the master bedroom to sights of the Hôtel-Dieu – a 16th-century building classified as a palace since the start of the 21st-century – before walking a matter of steps to your private balcony, where you'll find sprawling vistas across the port and up to the basilica known by locals as, la Bonne Mère. It's here we imagine you’ll start your day sipping coffee as the sun rises and end your day by clinking glasses of Bandol as the sun falls. When you’re ready to explore, the beautiful Frioul Islands can be reached by ferry, while one of France’s most remarkable gardens, Parc Borély, is a perfect place to while away an afternoon.
