Location: Marseille, Provence, France, Europe (20 Min from Marseille Airport, 10 Minutes from Tgv-Station)
Accommodations: Apartment, 3 Bedrooms + No additional sleeping rooms avail, 2.5 Baths (Sleeps 6)
Keywords: Penthouse Apartment
The most gorgeous deck in the 7th arrondisement (postal code: 13007) Marseille, only a 10 minutes walk from the beach and a 15 minutes walk from the Vieux Port or Old City Center. The penthouse is located in a gated community, where we have two parking spots in the underground garage. From the large deck you have an awesome view of the mediterranean, the harbor, and the famous cathedral.
The neighborhood ("Bompard") is residential and very quiet, even though it's only a short distance away from all the best Marseillan bars and restaurants. Still closer are a number of bakeries, butchers and grocery stores. Walking back from these shops with a French bread under your arm, you will feel incredibly French.
The penthouse has two floors: the lower floor has three bedrooms (two with King sized beds, one with two regular beds), two bathrooms and a half bath (WC). The top floor has the living room with windows on three sides and a very roomy kitchen. All doors from this living room and kitchen lead to the most beautiful deck you can imagine!
Marseille is a real city for real people !!

Why the Owner Chose Marseille
In 1998 we visited Marseille for the first time to see a soccer match between Brazil and Holland in the semi-final of the World Cup. This was the time we fell in love with this city with endless blue sea views! 10 years later we discovered this penthouse with its' unbelievable deck and we were hooked!

Fantastic Vacatioin Rental

My family and I just returned from a week in Marseille, staying in this fantastic property as a base for exploring the region. The room sizes and amenities were all very generous, we spent many evenings cooking in the fully equipped kitchen. I can't say enough about how expansive the terrace is; the view is 270 degrees from the Vieux Port, all the way around to Basilica de Notre Dame behind. Sunsets over the Mediterannean were fantastic to watch with a glass of wine. Thank you again sharing your home with us.

The Best Apartment we have ever stayed in!

I scored major points with my family for finding this apartment. The terrace views of the Mediterranean Sea, the city of Marseille and the Notre Dame cathedral on the hill behind us were phenomenal. We spent more than we had planned, but it was worth every euro! The main room of the apartment has expansive glass doors on three sides, so you can also enjoy the view from indoors. The apartment was very clean, very spacious and well furnished. The parking garage space was tight for two cars, but it was great to have. The apartment complex is gated and very secure. There are shops just a short walk away and we enjoyed eating in several nights (the kitchen is fairly large and well equipped) while watching the sun set over the sea. The owners of this property were also very accommodating and easy to work with. I hope to return and would highly recommend staying there. It is a special place.

Just wanted to say how much we loved staying in your amazing penthouse!!! It was truly a wonderful experience and we will certainly recommend it to our friends. It was even MORE beautiful than the photos you sent – and they were great. Wanted to let you know that we walked everywhere – including up and down the hill to get back to the condo. It was a great adventure. The views were spectacular at every hour of the day or night. We were intrigued by Chateau d'If brightly lit at night (of 'The Count of Monte Cristo' fame) on an island just outside of the harbor, so we took the ferry ride to explore it. It was very interesting and we would recommend it. Lots of things to do there - we even took a train ride to Avignon to see the 'Palace of the Popes'. We hope we can return some day to your beautiful and spacious pentouse. Thank you, Leona Wood

The terrace and location are the selling point. Views of the city yet very very quiet. Located very close to the port. Underground double garage makes parking easy and secure. A bit tight for 2 cars but great for single car. Large lounge and dining out in the terrace was wonderful. Enjoyed our stay. Not suitable for wheelchair access but otherwise no complaints. Even the neighbours were friendly.

My wife, son and I had the wonderful opportunity to stay in this unbelievable condo over looking Marseille and the Mediterranean Sea !This unit is surrounded on three sides by a huge terrace with views of the cathedral, city and sea all at the same time. Location is prime, the city below is yours as you dine outside either in the bright sun or enjoy the city's lights at night. Easy drive(s) to country side and beaches, art, culture and downtown harbor restaurants and clubs. This property was by far the best value for the money that we have ever stayed at! We highly recommend a visit, and the owners, (The Kist's) were fantastic as well. Great security. We are looking forward to visiting there again soon! The Pardee Family Rockport, Ma. (Boston) U.S.A.
