An artist's house from 1870 in the Provençal style. A couple in love with travel and hospitality. Amira and Édouard have created a place where you simply want to be.

At the entrance to the Côte Bleue bay, this picturesque town with red roofs has attracted artistic souls like Georges Braque and Picasso. Just like the painter Paul Cézanne, you can seek inspiration for your works in the same house—books, diary notes. Who knows, maybe when your mind rests, you'll feel creative powers and a surge of inspiration.

Although the house is in Marseille, it is located on a hill in the L'Estaque district. Guests say the hustle and bustle of the city doesn’t reach here. However, if you wish to be in the center of events, a train station is nearby, just a short ride to the tourist area. Yet, there’s no need to leave Casa Youm at all. The large garden is perfect for leisurely strolls among Mediterranean greenery, with cypress and olive trees standing next to palm trees—symbols of the French Riviera. Around the pool, terracotta lanterns evoke the exotic gardens of Morocco. For the best sunset views, the Genoese tower at the top of the hill is ideal.

In the coastal resort, amidst luxury hotels, you can find something unexpected: a peaceful haven with a family atmosphere and exceptional cuisine.
