Our guest house, the Villa d'Orient, is located in an exceptional place in Marseille and in France: in the heart of the Calanques National Park. Direct access in a few minutes to the gay and naturist (but not exclusive) site of Montrose.
Right on the water, our guest rooms with air conditioning are 20 minutes from the Prado and 30 minutes from the old port of Marseille. Only two guest houses benefit from this privileged and protected location in this unique space that is the Calanques massif...
The small beach of the cove is a few meters away from our guest house. The hiking trails in the Calanques National Park start 150 meters from the Villa, and cover the 22 km of the Calanques massif.
Car parking (free) is possible in front of the Villa (small residential dead end leading to the sea). The bus stop is a 7-minute walk away. It connects every 10 minutes and in 20 minutes the Rond-Point du Prado, central point of Marseille 8th, where you will find the metro, Parc Chanot-Palais des congrès and Stade Vélodromme.
A sea shuttle takes you directly to the Old Port between April and October, a truly enchanting little journey through the bay of Marseille...
A few meters from the sea, we offer 3 guest rooms and a Turquoise studio-suite with kitchenette. All our rooms have independent access, overlooking either the exotic garden or the panoramic terraces with a view of the sea and the Calanques massif. All accommodations are air-conditioned and have free Wi-Fi.
Our guests, on vacation or on a business trip, will be able to enjoy the shaded and century-old garden, the terraces with deckchairs and sea view, the glass roof and its herbal tea room...
