Portofino

A prime example of late 19th-century bourgeois architecture, this 377 sq m family home embodies the tradition of Marseille’s coastal villas, blending classic elegance with a direct connection to the seascape. Built on several levels and boasting over 200 sq m of terraces, it offers sea views from most of its rooms, enjoying a prime waterfront location. Reinterpreted with respect for its architectural identity, the house reveals generous volumes enhanced by natural light. The vistas have been opened up to create a constant dialogue with the horizon, while the original features—moldings, high ceilings, fireplace, and classical proportions—anchor the space in an elegant timelessness. Herringbone parquet flooring, clean lines, and a luminous palette define the atmosphere. The main level houses the reception areas in a seamless flow, with living rooms and a dining room extending onto terraces overlooking the sea. The upper floors offer several bedrooms, including a master suite with an office, balcony, and dressing room, conceived as a refuge suspended between sky and sea. On the garden level, more intimate spaces—a library, a television room, a multi-purpose glass-enclosed room, and a small suite ideal for entertaining friends—open onto the landscaped garden and its secluded outdoor areas. A double garage and a loft of approximately 50 sq m just steps away complete this exceptional property. A sought-after address where classic architecture, Mediterranean light, and a refined family lifestyle combine to create a rare gem. The ever-present and spectacular sea view. The lush garden, a true private green sanctuary. The renovation blends classic elegance with contemporary touches.
