When describing the experience at Domaine de Canaille, one has to leverage some big gun vocabulary: spectacular, magnificent, stunning, once in a lifetime. When my friends and I arrived to the gigantic patio overlooking the sea and Calanques, I literally felt that I’d been parachuted into a James Bond movie. This is an extraordinary property with a rich history and unmatched view in the South of France. The main house sleeps a large group comfortably and there is an extra annex of suites to accommodate larger parties. We relished the experience of working with local Chef Jeremy for the catering and enjoyed the friendly and accommodating team of staff. There is great access to the beach below (although a hike), and Cassis is an easy 15 minute walk away. The orangery was perfect for morning yoga and games, and there is also a boules court and secluded hammock for napping. The decor is brilliantly designed, modern and elegant but completely comfortable and approachable. Marie was extremely helpful in creating all the arrangements and made great recommendations to ensure a lovely stay for our guests and to suggest activities. Our stay was truly a once in a lifetime experience at this magnificent home.
