A View to a Kill in Marseille, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur

A View to a Kill Self-Catering

When standing on the gigantic patio overlooking the Mediterranean sea and Calanques – you'll feel like you've been parachuted into a James Bond movie. One of the most prestigious private properties on the French Riviera, this stunning twelve-bedroom home is the former Revestel Hotel, which hosted Virginia Woolf in the 1920s during her stays in Cassis.

Positioned 60 metres above sea level, the mansion features four reception rooms framing panoramic views across the surrounding turquoise waters – you'll have private access down to the coves and swim in the sea. Better still, take a refreshing dip in the larger heated pool amidst the Mediterranean nature of the Calanques. Finally, enjoy the magical scenes at sunset, visible from all rooms – but of course best views from the decked terrace with a crisp glass of local wine in hand.

Alongside the terrace and pool area, you'll have access to the lawns and orangery – perfect for morning yoga and garden games such as the French favourite, petanque. Inside the orangery, you'll find ping pong and table football to enjoy away from the sun.

While you'll feel well and truly separated from the rest of the world in this serene spot, you'll be conveniently just a fifteen-minute walk away from the centre of Cassis and its world-class bars, restaurants and shopping.
