MAISON SILVESTRI - LA CAHUTE / Piscine, vue mer

Relaxing location, great view and efficient communications from host.

I fully recommend this place. However, be aware that the 2nd dormitory has no windows of its own. I would come here again.

We had a very nice stay at Les Terrasses de Cassis. As a family of five with three kids from 6 to 13, this place provided everything we needed for our stay in Cassis. The pictures shown here on the site are a couple years old, as the tress have grown since then, but the apartment and entire grounds are still just as beautiful and well maintained. The views are amazing of the hills around Cassis, the ocean, and the cliffs of Cap Canaille. The pool is fantastic and cleaned by salt filters rather than chemicals. Whenever we were not out enjoying the beautiful area, we were relaxing on the patio, swimming in the pool, or playing table tennis and boccia. You are renting a apartment in the lower level of the house. Nathalie and her family live upstairs and the owner, and elderly lady lives in the second apartment of the left side of the house. It was absolutely no issue for us with the other people in the house. We basically had the pool and the garden completely to ourselves during our stay. The few times that we saw the others at the house were no Interruption to our privacy. The view from the kitchen (double windows under the stairs in the lower right of the outside picture of the house) are fantastic and are the same as those shown here over the infinity pool. Everything we needed for cooking our own meals was available in the kitchen. There are two bedrooms, the second of which doesn't have a window but a ventilation system. The living room has two comfortable sleeper couches. Nathalie is a very nice host and we had good communication.

Nice People nice landscape nice Appartement

We greatly enjoyed our week in this apartment. The main plus is the pool, which despite not being heated was warm enough to swim in first week of October, and the view of the Mediterranean. The grounds are well kept. The pool is shared with the other apartment in the house, which in our case was a nice German family.The location is perfect if you have a rental car (but you do need a car). The apartment itself has a nice, minimalist decor and is generally well equipped (although some basic kitchen utensils were missing, e.g. potholders and a spatula). The bedrooms have a couple of drawbacks - one is windowless and the air gets quite stuffy at night. The other has a very low ceiling (about 175 cm) and the floor slopes downwards. Our children were perfectly happy there, though. Our communication with the owners was limited and OK, for the most part. We arrived in the middle of the night, and appreciated that the owner let us in and helped us settle in at this very late hour. On the day of the departure, we were asked to leave earlier than we had hoped, at 10 a.m. The owner arrived five minutes to ten, inspected the apartment and made complaints about a couple of drinking glasses we had left standing in the bathroom and a couple of other small details (as we had paid a generous 50 euros for cleaning, we were surprised by the expectation that the apartment needed to be spotless upon departure). We then had to vacate the apartment in a few minutes because the owner was in a hurry and needed to leave for work. This procedure could have been handled more smoothly.

A great week in a wonderful sunny location. The apartment is clean and well laid out, with a beautiful infinity pool and amazing views over Cassis and over the bay. Quiet and peaceful, and highly recommended.
