Calanca, renovated house in Niolon, unspoilt cove of the Côte Bleue, 25 minutes from Marseille.

3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 terraces in the sun. The sea is a minute's walk away, for a quiet swim in the morning.

An authentic, bright fishing village, made for slowing down, swimming, cooking and having an aperitif outside. Ideal for couples, quiet family or friends.

The accommodation
🏡 The house

We renovated Calanca in the spring of 2026 to make you feel good from the doorstep: light everywhere, simple materials, a sober Mediterranean décor, nothing ostentatious.

Just a real holiday home where you want to put your things down and breathe.

→ Fully equipped open kitchen, made for long meals that stretch out

→ 6 guests in 3 bedrooms: 2 in the house, 1 in an independent studio (private bathroom, direct access outside, ideal to preserve everyone's privacy)

→ And 1 sofa bed in the living room can accommodate up to 8 people

→ Main bathroom, in a beautiful deep blue that we really like, + the one in the studio

→ Laundry room with washing machine and dryer

→ Air conditioning, wifi, and a corner to put the computer if you need to work a little

🫒 The two terraces

This is probably the heart of Calanca.
You can live outside from morning to night.

→ The lower terrace, with its large table: the haunt of outdoor dining, from breakfast facing the sea to candlelight dinner

→ The high terrace, under a small olive tree: the view. Sea on the horizon, Calanque de Niolon on the left, Marseille in the distance on the right. Our advice is the aperitif and sunset spot, a drink in hand, without doing anything but watching.

🌊 Niolon & the Côte Bleue

A small fishing village clinging to the creek, away from mass tourism.
We come here to slow down, not to be agitated.

→ The sea is a minute's walk away: early in the morning, the creek is calm and the water clear, it's the best time to swim

→ Diving (the UCPA center is on site), mask and snorkel, and the Sentier des Douaniers which goes to the neighboring creeks

→ At the port, some good restaurants, including La Pergola, les pieds dans l'eau (remember to book in season)

→ Marseille 25 minutes by car, or by TER by the Train de la Côte Bleue, one of the most beautiful journeys in the region

_________

💛 Ideal for

Couples on a getaway, quiet families, friends who love the sea, walking and real breaks.

_________

🤍 Maybe not for
Who is looking for permanent entertainment, shops at the foot of the door, or doesn't feel like walking a little.

Traveler access
The house is completely private and yours: the 3 bedrooms, the 2 bathrooms, the kitchen, the living room, the independent studio and the 2 terraces.

Free parking, then a few minutes walk downhill to the house.

Self-check-in by keybox: code communicated before the stay, with a detailed arrival guide in photos to find the house without stress.

Other remarks
To book with a clear mind:

→ The sea view is best enjoyed from the upper terrace: sea on the horizon, Calanque de Niolon on the left, Marseille in the distance. One bedroom offers a partial view of the creek and the massifs; the other rooms and the studio overlook the village and the alley.
→ The seaside is made of pebbles and rocks, no sandy beach: perfect for swimming in clear water.
→ A small mini-market helps out on site; for big shopping, it's better to do it before (Carry-le-Rouet 10 minutes away).
→ Quiet and unspoilt village: you come here to slow down, not for the entertainment. A few minutes of operation works downhill to the house.

Ideal for couples, quiet families and friends who love the sea and walking.
