The terrace, with its small pool offering breathtaking views of the port of Les Goudes, is a real asset, particularly sublime at sunrise and sunset.

The benefits of this home is that you get to live inside a masterfully curated home, in a beautiful quiet village, but also right at Marseilles city doorsteps. The BEST way to experience Marseille. I will definitely come back to this specific airbnb. The location is great, the food is, as are the people. Also the amenities were awesome- I loved using the iron. 10/10.

6) Duplex with sea view Marseille – Roucas Blanc

From the Reviews: What an incredibly beautiful appartment: we felt so lucky to have found this, it was exactly what we wanted (but still a lovely surprise). Not having a car it had been key for us to find somewhere walkable to the beach - and a really nice one at that! - but this address is also very easy for getting to the central parts of Marseille due to the good connections via bus, and now Lime/s etc. Francois was an incredibly kind & responsive host, and living near, always on hand. We loved the views, the atmosphere, and the sounds and light. Though we didn't in the end use it, there's great sleeping accommodation possible here & I'd definitely consider it again for another group. The location was brilliant, also, for a high-street type area where we could get groceries, coffee, pizza, fish, etc.; swimming and coast generally just out of this world!

Would definitely recommend!

9) Old Port Apartment – Marsiho

From the Reviews: You walk into this home, and THE WINDOWS...THE VIEWS! They are, literally, postcard views of the Old Port and Notre Dame du Gard. This is an old building (with some stairs), but the home itself is an architectural (and decorator's!) dream. Every possible modern amenity is included, and we were SO SAD that we had only booked the place for two nights. Don't look anywhere else for a place to stay in Marseilles! This is a wow!
