A former hotel on the Calanques coast

The villa stands within the Calanques National Park, on the site of the former Revestel hotel, whose guests included Virginia Woolf and Winston Churchill, in the domain's own telling. It was renovated in 2017 and has 600 square metres of living space on a 60-hectare estate under Cap Canaille. A private path leads to the beach in under five minutes, and the village and harbour of Cassis are about 15 minutes away on foot.

A wedding held outdoors

Weddings of up to 110 guests take place outdoors, on the terrace above the bay and in the grounds. Wedding guests do not enter the house, so a tent is set up in case of bad weather. The domain accepts only two weddings of around a hundred guests each year, so as not to disturb its neighbours.
