Staying at La Villa Blanche for five nights with my partner was an absolute highlight of our trip to Marseille. Nestled on the hills just outside the city, it offers a peaceful retreat with breathtaking views—serene and refreshing, especially when you're escaping the busy urban vibe. Though we couldn’t fully experience its summer magic due to timing, I can only imagine how perfect it must be in warmer months. The hosts, Williams and Mireille, were incredibly attentive and thoughtful, offering helpful tips and genuine hospitality that made us feel welcome. Breakfast was outstanding—a generous spread of high-quality local treats, served in abundance, setting the tone for each day perfectly. Our room, though modest in size, was spotlessly clean and well-equipped: premium toiletries, a mini-fridge stocked with free drinks, and a wonderful hot tub that added a real touch of luxury. The spacious private terrace with loungers was ideal for relaxing under the sun or enjoying quiet evenings. Parking is available nearby in a secure, private area, and key access gives guests full flexibility to enjoy the space freely. The hosts remain reachable by phone if needed—always ready to assist. At this price point, the value is excellent. For anyone seeking a calm, authentic stay with great service and charm, this villa is a top recommendation.
