About this property

House on the port of Vallon des Auffes

Fishermen's cabin in the heart of Vallon des Auffes.
A charming house consisting of a main room on the ground floor and two bedrooms upstairs, in the style of the small port and located on one of the port docks.
Ideal location away from the hustle and bustle of the city, in a place that has preserved its authenticity, despite its fame.
This very picturesque corner allows a certain change of scenery.
Restaurants, including the famous "Fonfon" and its bouillabaisse, amenities of all kinds (various shops) and quick access to the city center and beaches make it a destination with many benefits.
Close to many sites in Marseille, Notre Dame de la Garde, the Basilica St Victor, the Palais du Pharo, the Panier district, the Mucem among others and beaches along the Corniche.
Not to mention the possibility of bathing 50m from the house, in the small cove of the port, nicknamed "the pool" by the inhabitants of the district!

A Gem of a stay in Marseille

Hidden gem

We loved this rustic port cabin. We felt like we were in a hidden neighborhood in walking distance to the main coastal area and an easy bus ride to the main sites. The host was delightful and helpful. We sincerely hope to stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is gorgeous and the home itself was charming and clean. Christian was fast and reliable in communication, and went out of his way to make sure we'd be comfortable during a summer heat wave. We'd certainly come back here next time we're in Marseilles.

La literie est également très confortable.Le propriétaire était très arrangeant sur les horaires d’arrivée et départ, bonne communication générale.Plus adapté pour un court séjour car certaines installations mériteraient un rafraîchissement.

Fischerhütte direkt am Freizeithafen

Die Unterkunft bezaubert durch die fantastische Lage direkt am Hafen der kleinen Bucht Vallon des Auffes unweit der Innenstadt und Vieux Port., Meerwasserschwimmbecken vor der Tür. Die Küstenstraße Corniche mit der Busverbindung (83) führt direkt an der Bucht entlang, sodass eine gute Anbindung zu den Stränden des Pointe Rouge wie auch in die Stadt besteht. Dennoch ist von der Straße nichts zu hören. In der Bucht gibt es mehrere kleine Lokale und an der Corniche in ca 5-10 Minuten zu Fuß einen kleinen Supermarkt und hervorragenden Bäcker. Also: wirklich schön! Klein aber praktisch und tatsächlich für Familie mit 3 Kindern (5 Schlafplätze) geeignet.
