Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location in the beautiful Marseille hills called 'Calanques' is a gem, nestled between the stunning Calanques and Marseille. The open design of the rooms with a full-length window and glass door opening to the patio provides a mixed experience, as it offers a spacious feel but lacks privacy for a quiet night in. The bathroom is large, and the separate toilet is a plus, but could use some improvements for a more relaxing stay with a glass of wine.
The hotel offers very spacious and nicely decorated rooms with full-length windows and a glass door that opens to the patio, making them large and comfortable. The service, including housekeeping and a welcome drink, was excellent. The location, while having signs for easy navigation, may not be favorable without transportation, but it is near the Calanques on the edge of Marseille, with a large submerged sitting area. The dining experience provided a healthy choice of homemade and quality products, although it was a bit overpriced for a simple selection. The facilities are well-equipped and brilliantly decorated.
