Don Your Dancing Shoes Marseille, Provence-Alps-French Riviera

Holiday Rental Description

This magnificent Marseille home must be seen to be believed. Completely renovated, redesigned and refurbished by a talented interior designer, this former dance hall on the Place aux Huiles boasts a large open plan kitchen cum dining and living room and a mezzanine level sleeping space. Featuring exposed stone walls, wooden floors, beautifully beamed ceilings and array of intriguing hanging lights, this amazing apartment achieves the perfect blend of old and new.

Blessed, too, with unbeatable views of the Old Port from twin sets of French doors in the living room, you’ll love people watching here. Sip on your morning coffee while cocooned in bed, coax the kids into a cook-along or chill out with a glass of wine on the endlessly lounge worthy L-shaped sofa. Whatever you do bring the bonhomie.

If you fancy getting out and about, why not start with a visit to the musée du vieux Marseille and its rooftop café, before stopping to sample some sensational seafood at one of many portside eateries. Alternatively take a twenty-minute ferry ride from the Old Port to the previously uninhabited island of Château d’If made famous by Alexandre Dumas’ The Count of Montecristo.
