Oceanfront Exceptional Apartment on Cote D'Azur Close to Beach

Year Purchased: 2003

Why the Owner Chose Cassis

In the early 90's I fell in love with Cassis when on a climbing trip.

The Unique Benefits at this Apartment

Sitting on the balcany with a bottle of cool white wine, watching the boats coming and going.

Walking down to the port in the early mourning and have a coffee while the fishermen get there catch ready.

Swimming and diving in the Callanques.

Climbing.

A
Lighthouse

Walk to the Lighthouse, always worth it especially when there's a big swell, as you can hide behind the Lighthouse as the waves crash around you and spray either side while you remain dry. Exciting.

B
Beach

Lovely beach with great rocks to dive off and a good restaurant in the hotel garden just behind.

C
Sandy Beach

Great for sun bathing, kids and renting Kayaks for exploring the callanques.

D
Market

Every Wednesday and Friday. Not to be missed, all you need for a snack or a feast, plus lots of Provencal produce.

E
Boat trips

Jump on boats here every half hour and go on a tour of the Callanques or get dropped off at a sandy cove and pass the day picnicking and swimming.

 

Owner's Map of Cassis

I am a Mountain Guide, climbing and skiing in the European Alps. Sailing and cooking are also one of my passions, which is why you will find the Lighthouse has a fully equipped kitchen and such a lovely sea view.

    • Anthoni; On our last trip to France in 2005, we spent a week at your delightful "Lighthouse". The accommodations were perfect and thoughtfully appointed. The location was the best in the village, and we spent endless hours on the balcony, watching the comings and goings of the fishermen and the private yachts from early dawn to evening in the harbor below. In addition, there are so many attractions in the area to keep one totally absorbed, not to mention the many and varied restaurants within a few minutes stroll. We plan to return to "Lighthouse" on our next France trip in 2010.

    • My first experience in renting an apartment in Europe. It was perfect. Cassis is so charming, the people could not have been nicer, the apartment perfectly situated overlooking the harbour with everything you need to settle in and feel at home. The apartment is also spacious although we found it very difficult to pull ourselves off of the front terrace... where we spent hours drinking the exceptional wine local to the area and watching the port life. Thanks to Anthony and Victor...looking forward to a return visit!

    • Our apartment stay was excellent and by far the highlight of our vacation in France. If we could we would hop back there and spend two weeks immediately. The view was spectacular and even better than pictured. The apartment was also more spacious than indicated by the pictures. Access to restaurants, hiking and beaches was easy. Both Victor and Anthony were professional, prompt and enjoyable and we thank them both for this great Cassis experience.

    • This apartment is a welcome change from the hotel stays. The view of the harbor and surrounding area is absolutely mezmorizing. The markets in the area have excellent produce and cheese for a home cooked meal. There is also a lot of action along the strand. This location is a good base from which you can explore lower Provence. Overall, Lighthouse is a place you won't want to leave.

    • Dear Anthony, We had a WONDERFUL time while at your apartment in Cassis. The initial view and apartment brought tears to my eyes and a hug to Victor! What a great apartment! Clean, roomy, comfortable and the view!! Awesome! The views of the lighthouse, the little town and boats was something we will never forget! We enjoyed Cassis with the great people, shopping and food. We enjoyed a cruise to the cliffs and drove to the neighboring towns for sightseeing. It was the perfect place to vacation! Thanks so much for making the place available to regular people like our small group! I hope we can come back some day. And thanks to Victor for his welcoming attitude and warmth! He was so nice! With fodness, Sandi, Brooke, Donna, Aaron and Catherine

    • What an enjoyable week. The apartment is in a perfect location - close enough for the busyness of Cassis, yet far enough away to escape from the bustle. Wonderful views with the activity in the harbour being better than any satelite channel. The design and fit-out of the apartment work very well and makes for a comfortable base. We parked out hire car on arrival and left it for a week. Great eating, swimming and promenading. For the first time in my life I've already booked next year's holiday: same time, same place, can't wait.

    • The Lighthouse was more than we ever hoped it would be. What a fabulous little piece of heaven you have there, Anthony. We loved the beautiful view and all the activity in the harbor. The little town of Cassis is wonderful and the food delectable. We ate seafood the whole time we were there and it was superb! We have rented houses all over France, but yours most definitely is one of our favorites. By the way, we really enjoyed Victor. What a terrific guy and he could not have been more welcoming. Also, thanks for the bottle of wine. We brought it home to toast CASSIS and THE LIGHTHOUSE! Many thanks again. Karen and John Kane Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA

    • Dear Anthony, We returned from our vacation yesterday afternoon. We wanted to send you an e-mail as quickly as possible to let you know that we had the best vacation we have ever experienced. Thanks in large part to your fantastic apartment, the most perfect view we have ever had, and the truth in your words regarding the magic of Cassis. Thank you for everything Anthony. Truly, the apartment went well beyond our expectations, Victor was a pleasure, the food the weather and the wine, all beyond exceptional. It is a given that we will return some day, and in the meantime we will be recommending your apartment to everyone we can think of. Thank you again Anthony, and thanks to Victor. Best Regards, Kelley and John Bloom

    • ...i think that when one refers to life through rose tinted glasses, it would be like looking at life in Cassis...from the luxury of the apartment balcony (with a few cushions mind!)..a true window on a world where moments melt as you sip champagne and enjoy the time with those close to you, to listen to the sounds of the sea and watch the varying shades of light on the rock, to hear the laughter of children as they prepare for lessons at sea and to watch those simply at home in the dock...the calanques offer plenty on foot or on fin, however like me you may quickly find yourself drawn back to your view of nature’s best..life can be sweet, a lasting memory and someplace where one visit would never be enough...
