What to say about this beautiful boutique hotel that others haven't already? Only that our six-night stay there was so wonderful that we'd go back in a heartbeat. Stunning individually-styled air-conditioned and quiet rooms, delicious meals (we had breakfast, dinner and lunch there on separate days), friendly and attentive staff, sumptuous bed with cotton linen, huge garden-dining space and secluded communal pool. Particularly loved the decorative touches, the vintage styling throughout, and delightful lounge with old-school library. The hotel provides a map with personal recommendations for cafes and restaurants - of these Restaurant La Place and Marcel & Zette were a short walk from the hotel and served delicious food. The hotel is located in a quiet residential district in south Marseille, a short distance from the Calanques National Park (we actually walked to Sormiou). As we didn't hire a car (possibly a mistake in hindsight) it meant relying on Ubers for comfortable travel in the sweltering July heat - though it is possible to get public transport to the city centre, and we hired bikes from the hotel to visit Plage de la Pointe Rouge. Just a great base for a week exploring Marseille and the Calanques - missing it already!
