Mid-Century Marseille in Marseille, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur

Mid-Century Marseille Self-Catering

Situated in Marseille’s Old Port, this mid-century apartment is all about unwinding in style. The interiors are contemporary-cool with clean lines, classic teak furnishings and contrasting textile combinations. Mornings here begin with leisurely breakfasts around the sleek oval dining table with warm pastries from your local boulangerie and fresh coffee. There’s an industrial glass wall feature that makes this space feel sociable – one member of the group can be preparing a cheeseboard in the dynamic kitchen, another can be enjoying some downtime on the balcony overlooking the port, whilst the rest of the cohort can gather on the curved chairs to share a bottle of local wine.

If exploring is on the cards, take the ferry out to the Frioul Islands for a walk along the coastal paths and a seafood lunch in one of the waterfront bistrots. Or why not soak up some of the city’s culture with a visit to the Museum of Civilizations of Europe and the Mediterranean? End the day with wine at one of the neighbourhood spots in Cours Julien before heading home for a restful night’s sleep in one of the bold-hued bedrooms.
