My wife and I spent four days at Villa Marcam while traveling around France in May, hoping for a respite from the hustle and bustle of the major cities and tourist spots. After arriving, we realized we had hit the jackpot. Villa Marcam is the perfect location if you’re looking for a place to kick back, relax and enjoy all of the beauty of the Mediterranean coast. The house itself was clean, well-equipped, and spacious, with plenty of areas to either congregate indoors or outdoors. The front deck with a heated pool offers the perfect spot to relax on the deck and watch the sunset over the Mediterranean Sea. The kitchen is stocked with the basics you’ll need for cooking, including pot and pans, utensils, plus a handful of spices and oil, with local markets in Sanary-sur-Mer and Bandol just a short drive away. Big bonus is there is a lovely beach just a short walk from the home where locals come out to watch the sunset in the evenings. Witch we did every night. The Calanques de Cassis are less than an hour drive away, and a day trip is highly recommended. Margaux is a great host met us on our arrival and explained everything about the house and the area. Our only regret is we didn’t plan to stay longer. But remember to bring shampoo. I would definitely go back and our next opportunity.
