Nestled just steps from the beach at Anse de Maldormé, Villa Mosca is a true architectural gem. Designed to accommodate up to ten guests with its five bedrooms and four bathrooms, this stunning villa boasts a style worthy of a contemporary art museum. And the best part? Access to the beach at the Malmousque port, panoramic sea views, and spacious terraces perfect for relaxing while admiring the city of Marseille and the azure sky. Come evening, the rooftop is the perfect spot for a small rooftop party with a view over the city.
Built in the 1970s, the villa was completely transformed under the guidance of Pierre-Antoine Bonamour, founder of PAB Architecture studio. By reimagining the entire space, the architect enhanced natural light and sea views, enlarging openings—some in the form of portholes—to create a truly distinctive atmosphere. The result? A space that feels like living aboard a boat. For materials, the architect opted for a minimalist and raw aesthetic: white walls, polished concrete throughout most rooms, and terracotta tiles—a nod to Provence—featured on one terrace, in the kitchen, and part of the living room.
Located on a picturesque street in the Malmousque port area in the 7th arrondissement, Villa Mosca invites you to live at the peaceful rhythm of the cove. Days here pass serenely, with walks through Marseille’s iconic neighborhoods, discovering local gems, and enjoying marine activities: beach, calanques, swimming, boat trips… Or exploring nearby towns such as Aix-en-Provence, Cassis, Sanary, and La Ciotat. Hikers can even venture to the nearby Saint-Cyr Chain. A vacation in the South with so much to offer is always a great idea!

Perched on the hills of Marseille, Casa Cygalea is a white villa with a futuristic 1980s style, offering an atmosphere somewhere between Los Angeles and the French Riviera.
