Asian with the Owner was excellent and they keep a beautiful little place for a little getaway by the beach. Array from all the hustle and bustle of downtown so a great place to relax while enjoying a spectacular view of the ocean. If it is available another time I would definitely go back.

We had a lovely time here. The location is central so it’s easy to visit wineries and go to the beach or into old town. Amenities are simple. Alan was easy to work with and we would stay here again. Merci Alan!

Everything about this property was just as it said on the tin-if better. The kitchen was very well equipped and we managed to work all the French appliances without difficulty. The air con, which we turned on in the evening to provide heat was very efficient. Plenty of hot water, lovely shower and the terrace was wonderful. Even in early March we were able to have every breakfast and lunch on the terrace, or out and about. Alan was very attentive and although he lives on site was never intrusive. He checked that all was OK half way through our stay. Cassis was a bit of a disappointment. The roads are narrow and quite complicated to find your way around. Parking was not easy and we used a small multi storey car on one occasion. At the weekend it became extremely busy with huge numbers of motor bikes and cyclists. Having said that the Provencal market was lovely-it even had a skating rink! In season these issues could easily be avoided by using the shuttle bus service which stops outside the gite. It is too far to walk in to Cassis and the accomodation is up a very steep hill. This does mean the views are stupendous. We walked directly from the apartment onto a well marked footpath and other walks along the Grande Randonnes are not far away by car. The train station at Cassis is only 5 minutes drive away so we used trains to get us to Marseille, La Ciotat and Bandol. The latter was a very nice laid back town with lovely squares and restaurants along the marina. Nothing better than moules et frites on a pavement cafe in the sun! We came back having had one of the most relaxing holidays ever. We would thoroughly recommend it. We will be back.

Alan very welcoming and friendly and nice welcome bottle of wine and toiletries. Kitchen and bathroom well fitted but some updating needed in the property. TV OK if you are fluent in French. A good sized kitchen bin but it would have helped if some information on refuse disposal and recycling were included in the welcome information. He was right to warn that a car is essential as the property stands in a housing development on a hill about 2 miles out of the town. There is free parking and a reasonably priced bus into town every day but car needed for the half mile hill to get to it, but it saves unavoidable parking charges if you drive into town. Don't be confused by the promotion of a shuttle in peak season only - it runs as an ordinary service bus through the year.
