The Tenor in Marseille, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur

The Tenor Self-Catering

People flock to Marseille for its fantastic weather and beaches, but this city is also fantastic for anyone looking for a culture-filled escape. This apartment is set in the Opéra district, which gives you a little clue as to the delights you might find here. You’re just a two-minute walk from the classical music of the Opéra de Marseille, and two from modern art exhibits of the Musée Cantini. But this home is a very convenient base when you’re not out enjoying local attractions, bars, and restaurants. Your host will make sure you feel like a VIP, with a private chauffeur service from the airport, as well as offering to book tickets for attractions and experiences. While they sort out your itinerary, pop open a bottle of chilled rosé and take a look around the home. Modern, sophisticated, and sleek, your living space has stylish features like an exposed brick wall and intricate Mediterranean-style tilework in the kitchen. The furniture exudes understated cool, with black metal being the structure of choice for various woven and wicker chairs. With three bright windows illuminating the space, you’ll love gazing out to the view of the serene courtyard below.
