Le Lumineux Marseille, Provence-Alps-French Riviera

Property Description

With stunning views over Marseille’s roofs and the hilltop Notre Dame de la Garde Basilica, this beautifully bright apartment is a treat for those looking for a central, scenic spot.

Housed in a building that’s been appointed 20th-century heritage status, the home’s most striking feature is, of course, its curved wall of fifteen floor-to-ceiling windows that let a dazzling amount of natural light shine in. Open up the windows to perch by the Juliet balcony as you gaze upon the basilica and the hustle and bustle below from your seventh-floor position. We love that the open-plan living area has been arranged to make the most out of the stunning scenery, so whether you’re enjoying a meal at the dining table or chilling out on the sofa, your eyes never have to stray from the incredible city vistas in front of you.

The main bedroom offers equally spectacular views, and has a desk space should you need to catch up on work. With an additional second bedroom that’s just as comfortable, as well as a luxurious rainfall shower to boot, you’ve got everything you need for a relaxing stay.

The building sits on La Canebière – a pretty, tree-lined boulevard known for its grand buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries. Along your privileged address, you’ll find plenty of bookshops, patisseries, pavement cafes, and boutiques. From here, you can easily walk to the famous Vieux Port with its waterside cafes and seafood restaurants, while Cathédrale La Major is also easily reachable on foot.
