I'd Go Sailing

Holiday Rental Description

Blessed with beautiful views over the Vieux-Port de Marseille, this contemporary apartment is just a stone's throw away from the Museum of the Roman Docks and the Musée Regards de Provence, where you'll find lots of locally-inspired art. Across the harbour, the Fort Saint Nicolas draws in history lovers from far and wide. Alternatively, why not hop in a sailboat and enjoy a day trip to the Frioul islands?

With its handsome tiles and accents, this waterside home brings the blue colour palette indoors as well. Here, you'll wake up after a restful sleep and wander into your open-plan living space for a French breakfast. Well-lit by picture-frame windows, we think that this snug is the ideal spot for sipping Nespresso coffee on lazy mornings with your loved ones. When you return in the evening, the private balcony beckons you to watch a romantic sunset while you nibble on macarons. Then, you may want to rummage through the bookshelf and read before bed.
