Cast Anchor

Cast Anchor:

Located in ancient Marseille – a city founded in 600 BC by Greek settlers, this characterful apartment faces directly onto the Old Port and the Notre-Dame de la Garde. With boat trips and international restaurants at hand, there's no better place to stay. So, why not stroll to the traditional Opéra de Marseille? Or, if you want to take a tour, the departure point of Les Petits Trains sits just down the road.

Bursting with colour and eclectic textiles, this cosy home leads you straight out onto an intimate balcony promising postcard views. Each morning, open your bed curtains and hop under the rainfall shower before breakfast. For those who have a sweet tooth, perhaps you'd like to plan your day in the kitchen over a plateful of pain au chocolat. After sightseeing, you'll be itching to return to this retreat where you can curl up on the couch and toast to a happy holiday with a glass of French wine.

Home truths:
*You'll receive welcome coffee capsules here
*At full occupancy, one guest will be sleeping on the sofa bed – this may be better suited to a child, as the living room and bedroom is open-plan
*This home is in a central spot, so noise is to be expected – light sleepers may want to pack earplugs
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
*Parking in Marseille can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible – though we think the best way to see the city is on foot
