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.
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.
Lovely beach with great rocks to dive off and a good restaurant in the hotel garden just behind.
Great for sun bathing, kids and renting Kayaks for exploring the callanques.
Every Wednesday and Friday. Not to be missed, all you need for a snack or a feast, plus lots of Provencal produce.
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 a glorious sea view.

When I arrived with my boyfriend at this beautiful apartment we couldn't believe the stunning view from the main window, it really is like a landscape painting. Cassis is a beautiful village, with fabulous food and wine, especially at the local market. We spent a week here exploring the coast, climbing and generally relaxing. This is a fabulous apartment, great for romantic dinners by the window with the ever changing view.

We've stayed two times-once in November, 2009 and also in January, I think it was 2008. That view is just amazing-from the windows in the dining room! I tried to memorize the port, town and hills to the left. Cap Canaille to the near left. The lighthouse slightly to the right, the Calanque and houses on the shore to the far right. The boats with "Cassis" written on them. The lady at the restaurant downstairs that calls her dogs name every morning, "Caramel, Caramel!" The beautiful colors of the sunset and the lights on Cap Canaille. The stunning water... I've memorized these and other memories to bring me peace. Thank you. Just an amazing paradise. Susan & Sam

We just returned from a week in this lovely apartment. It was just wonderful. The apartment was exactly as described both in print and in pictures, and the town of Cassis is delightful. From the picture window in the apartment, the 'port watching' is fascinating!!!! Food in the town in plentiful in supply, type and price, and the access to other parts of Provence made this a great starting off point for adventures....and we always knew what a great place we had to return to! This is a 'return to' type place, and we would recommend it without conditions. It was clean, all appliances worked perfectly, and it was more than adequately equipped for dining in, if one wanted to. This place is special.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, sightseeing, adventure seekers, girls getaway, age 55+.

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
