Coco Mer

Just a short walk from Plage du Prado in the south of Marseille, this stylish apartment offers the perfect base for those looking to make the most out of the city’s coast and culture.

Though petite, it packs a decorative punch with its beautifully dressed bed, natural textures and ample natural light. We love the Acapulco reading chair adjacent to the bed and the sweet loveseat beneath the television. Our favourite feature, however, is the private patio garden with its outdoor seating areas – perfect for enjoying alfresco breakfasts and celebratory sundowners.

Outside of your home, the beautiful beach beckons long sunny afternoons splashing in the sea, while Parc Borély – classified by the Ministry of Culture as one of the Remarkable Gardens of France – is an ideal way to spend a leisurely morning ambling. Elsewhere, the Statue du David is also within walking distance, and Marseille’s buzzing centre can easily be reached by public transport or by car.


Home truths:
*This home is on the ground floor of the building

*This home is slightly further outside Marseille's centre, so we suggest renting a car or using public transport to get around
