Old Port Retreat

Right on Marseille’s Old Port, this apartment is all about the views and the location. Step outside and you’re straight into the buzz, with waterfront cafes, boat trips and that classic Mediterranean energy right on your doorstep. Inside, it’s chic but comfortable, with two bedrooms and a sofa bed so everyone has their own space. With so much going on nearby, you might not stay in for long. The Mucem, Palais du Pharo and Le Panier are all within easy reach, or hop on a ferry, stroll through the luxury boutiques on Rue Paradis or head to Catalans beach for a sea swim, a twenty-minute walk away.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.

*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a travel cot. You'll need to request them in advance.

*If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.

*The kitchen is quite small. We think it is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.

*The bathrooms here are en-suites off the two bedrooms – at full occupancy, privacy may be limited.

*Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
