Domino Trois

Masters of the art of hospitality, Audrey and Antoine Colombani—avid travellers with a passion for architecture, design, and group getaways—continue to unveil vacation homes you’ll want to return to time and again. After a Basque house in Guéthary, a villa in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, and a chalet in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, their latest gem has landed in Marseille: Domino Trois, a stunning Tuscan-inspired retreat tucked just steps from Plage du Prophète.

Domino Trois is the very definition of spacious—designed with big families and full crews in mind. With four bedrooms, a large fully equipped kitchen, a hammam, gym, and sauna, it delivers comfort on a whole new level. Tucked away at the end of a quiet lane, the villa sits in a true oasis: think pool, terrace, palm trees, and graceful arches. If holidays were a house, they’d look a lot like Domino Trois.

To restore the villa’s former glory, a year and a half of renovation work was carried out in collaboration with architect Margaux Fritz—the creative force behind Domino Quatre and another Marseille gem, Villa Sunset. The goal? To breathe new life into the structure while preserving its original character. Every material was thoughtfully chosen: beautifully crafted wooden floors, red travertine in the bathrooms, and stainless steel in the kitchen for a more contemporary edge. Large openings flood the home with natural light, and the kitchen was designed to bring everyone together around the central island. “My husband wanted a bar, a spacious kitchen, and a fireplace—and Margaux brought it all to life perfectly.”

The result is a harmonious interior where vintage inspirations meet modern touches, and every object tells a story. “We spent a lot of time hunting for unique pieces on Selency and Le Bon Coin. Then, when we moved in, I laid everything out and arranged the pieces. It was a true labor of love and patience,” Audrey recalls. You’ll also find treasures unearthed at flea markets, like the painting in the kitchen. “I wanted this house to have real character—something that wouldn’t look like any other,” she adds. Standout details include ceramic wall sconces, amphora-shaped lamps, and decorative ceramic fish—a playful nod to the nearby sea.
