The Modern Cabanon

Set in the heart of Les Goudes, this townhouse places you right in the charm of Marseille’s old fishing village. The harbour and restaurants are all on your doorstep, while the balcony delivers a lovely view of the sea and cliffs. Step indoors and you’ll spot an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area with high vaulted ceilings and a cinema-style projector setup. Both bedrooms have their own showers and sinks, though it’s worth noting they’re open to the sleeping space. With quaint beaches a stone's throw away, and Marseille just a short drive away, we think it's a perfect spot.

Home truths:
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a travel cot for free. You'll need to request it in advance.
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There's free unrestricted on-street parking here.
*This home is set over two levels with stairs. It might not be the best option for those with reduced mobility.
*As is common in France, the toilet is separate from the bathroom.
*The en-suite showers open directly into the bedrooms and are separated by glass doors. It’s a sleek, contemporary design touch – though it does mean privacy is a little limited.
