Cicada & Colour

Close to the creeks and enveloped in the soothing sound of cicadas, this quirky villa welcomes you to Marseille.

Take a day to hike, swim and sunbathe in the nearby Morgiou creek – the undisturbed nature makes this spot a true paradise. When you're at home, switch the creek for the swimming pool. which comes with its own pool house, the perfect place for an afternoon nap in the shade.

When evening falls, fire up the barbecue and chat about the day's events over an alfresco feast on the balcony – be sure to pick up some French wine from the local village to wash it down. Post-dinner, pick a film and head to the home cinema room to enjoy your favourite movies on a big screen.
