Ideal escape in the calanques

My family and friends had a great time in the villa. The property is ideally located close to the little Mejean harbor, which is great when taking the paddle board or kayaks to sea. We especially loved hanging on the large deck which offers a great view on the calanque and is perfect for group lunch and dinners.

A perfect stay

This was a lovely place to celebrate our new marriage with friends. We hired a chef the host recommended one night and we have a lovely time. There were a few little things that did not work but they were immediately fixed by the host. Severine’s responses were helpful and quick. If you can stay here do it!

There aren't enough stars

Villa Cap Mejean is a unique wonderful magical place. I was there with my wife and 10 friends who were visiting the Marseilles area for the rugby world cup. Everyone had the most wonderful time and loved the venue. There is so much to do and everything is right there: Ocean, kayaking, paddle boarding, cute cafe, beautiful views, the list goes on. Also, Severine is an excellent host with fantastic instant communication. If you are considering staying in the area, the Villa will not dissapoint.

Sublime Coastal Location

We had a wonderful 10 days at Villa Mejean. The greeting and welcome information by Jean-Marc was all that was required for our stay. We found the house great to sit out and enjoy the view of the little bay and occasional boats. The bay was quiet, just a few locals (fisherman etc). (Although, we would have loved an invitation to play Petanque). ! Relaxing on the balcony and enjoying the quiet was just a tonic for the soul. The location was wonderful to experience, we had a wonderful day on the Lac de St. Croix canoeing, and picnic. Another day we visited a wonderful Van Gogh exhibition in Aix. The house was overall well equiped for cooking, with a great outdoor BBQ. A supermarché and bakery are nearby for all necessary food items. We also enjoyed the markets at Carry le Rouet (larger seaside town) a couple of times. We also took the train to Marseille one day for lunch, and caught the bus up to the Notre-Dame de la Garde with a view magnifique. We loved the coastal walk which was truly breathtaking. Thank you Jean-Marc, we enjoyed staying at your home very much, it was truly a great way to experience the Calanques and southern Provençal region. Solveigh and Michael and Family Sydney, Australia

Pleasant stay

The house is tastefully decorated, although we spent most of our time outside on the wonderful main balcony. The plancha was great for preparing meals, which we ate at the outside dining table overlooking the water. The pool also has stunning views and was very warm, unlike the sea that was surprisingly cold. Miscellaneous comments and observations: The house has neither AC nor any fans. This was not a problem in the main living area, but at night in the bedrooms the choice was either be hot or open the windows and risk the mosquitoes. The walls of the upstairs bedrooms are quite thin. Be warned! It is not clear from the description, but one of the bedrooms downstairs is only accessible by going through another bedroom Bring beach shoes if you want to use the tiny beach. It is very rocky The last mile to the house is very narrow and may require backing up to allow other cars to pass, as such renting a smaller car is advisable. Also do not use a car with a low front spoiler as it will scrape the ground when entering the property There was no netball or badminton equipment as advertised, but not sure where we would have played if there was The canoe has a leak (we fixed it with duct tape) and the paddle boards needed inflating, but a local took pity on us and kindly lent us his pump. The location of the key box is described as being on the right of the front door when it is in fact on the left The wifi password is all lower case, unlike the instructions on VRBO

Unique spacious property in a less touristy areaThis house has 7-8 levels or split levels--most of which have a view of the Petit Méjean Calanque in the Mediterranean. There is a parking pad; one level down is the pool; another level down is the top level of a 3-story house, 1/2 level to a hammock, 1/2 level to a bocce court, a level down to the kayaks and paddle boards, & the final level down is the garage /exit gate that opens onto a narrow street where one can reach the Mediterranean Sea. To reach the house, one has to be allowed into the Calanque with a visitor permit (provided by the host as a QR code) and then go through a series of switch back narrow roads. It's unique and absolutely lovely! The house is spacious and the kitchen very well resourced (no microwave though). Severine is extremely responsive and provided wonderful recommendations (e.g., boat rental). Some aspects to be aware of: there any many stairs/steps and there are no rails -- inside or outside. There is no air conditioning and we were there during a heat wave but, surprisingly, we were able to manage it well by jumping in the cool wonderful pool or the ocean nearby. Also, there were Dyson fans in every room which helped a lot! Unfortunately, we couldn't get one of the paddle boards inflated but perhaps we could have tried harder. This is not an area full of American tourists (mostly French) so it provided a more authentic feel of a French small town. All in all, merveilleux!

La villa de Séverine est un endroit d’exception au milieu des calanques. Nous étions un groupe de 12 filles pour le week-end, chacune avait son espace tellement la maison est bien agencée. Autour de la maison vous trouverez de quoi vous balader, vous baigner et profiter de la nature. De plus, la communication avec Severine était excellente.On reviendra !

Hôte accueillant, disponible et réactif non adaptée aux personnes âgées en difficulté de marche ou aux enfants en bas âges à cause du nombre de marches pour accéder et circuler dans la maison

Un lieu exceptionnel, hors du temps!

Quel paradis, la maison de Séverine est un lieu de vacances idyllique comme il en existe très peu...! Perchée dans une calanque très calme, accès direct à la mer (avec en prime tous les accessoires nécessaires pour s'amuser). Nous avions loué un bateau qui a pu nous récupérer juste devant la maison, le rêve! La maison est très fonctionnelle et il y a plein d'espaces différents (pétanque, terrasse, solarium, piscine), de quoi ravir tout le monde - j'y reviendrai :)
