Cocoonr is offering the Rocca Bianca for rent – a lovely flat boasting stunning sea views as well as a lovely view of Notre-Dame de la Garde, the ‘Bonne Mère’, from the balcony. Here, the sea view is everywhere – from the living room, the two bedrooms and even the balcony. You can relax whilst watching the boats come and go from the Vieux Port or admiring the changing light of the sunset, and enjoy breakfast on the balcony facing Notre-Dame de la Garde. Completely redesigned and refurbished in 2022, the flat is fully air-conditioned. Rocca Bianca is situated on a hillside, perched on the rock – hence its name. The unbeatable views: be warned, you’ll fall in love with it!
The house is laid out as follows:

Situated in the picturesque Samatan neighbourhood, Rocca Bianca overlooks the sea, stretching from the Vallon des Auffes to Catalans Beach and the famous Cercle des Nageurs. The Endoume neighbourhood, with its many shops, is a 5-minute walk away. It is the ideal location for enjoying life in Marseille.
Location:
Samatan is a picturesque neighbourhood that was once made up of fishermen’s cottages and has now become a sought-after area. It is situated on a hill overlooking the sea, close to the Endoume neighbourhood, the Vallon des Auffes and the Vieux Port.
Restaurants, a cheese shop, a grocery shop, a fishmonger’s, a café and a brasserie – everything is within walking distance in the Endoume neighbourhood from Place Saint-Eugène.
Rocca Bianca is also 10 minutes from Les Catalans beach and 15 minutes from the Vieux Port, as well as just a few metres from the small harbour at Vallon des Auffes, a typical neighbourhood with its little fishing boats, its ‘pointus’ (the famous Marseille fishing boats) and its colourful little houses, which lend the area its picturesque and authentic charm (from the flat, we suggest taking the Travers des Mèches to reach the Vallon des Auffes).
We recommend a stroll through the narrow streets of Endoume and St-Victor, amongst the fishing huts and small coves of the Anse de Malmousque.
