Villa Garlaban

Tucked away at the end of a quiet, gated lane, just steps from the Garlaban hills made famous by writer Marcel Pagnol, Villa Garlaban is a fully renovated 300 m² (3,230 sq ft) property set on more than 5,000 m² of tree-lined grounds. A place built for long family lunches, children running barefoot until dusk, and three generations under one roof.

The perfect base to explore Provence The villa enjoys a prime location just 20 minutes from Marseille, 30 minutes from Aix-en-Provence, and 20 minutes from the Cassis calanques. The hiking trails of the Garlaban massif start right at the property's doorstep. Another major plus: Aubagne's town center, local shops and traditional Provençal market are just a few minutes away, so you can stock up on local produce without even needing the car.

A home built for large families With 5 bedrooms sleeping up to 10 guests (4 double beds and 2 bunk beds), 2 shower rooms, 1 bathroom and 3 toilets, the villa offers plenty of space and privacy for everyone — parents, children, and grandparents alike. The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to cook freely, even across generations — especially with fresh produce from the nearby Aubagne market.

Outdoor living at its best The centerpiece of the property is undoubtedly the pool area — a 14m x 7m heated pool with a shallow beach entry, perfect for sipping a sundowner with your feet in the water or safely bathing young children, plus a submerged safety cover — and its fully equipped pool house: shower room, toilet, gas BBQ, plancha grill and a wood-fired pizza oven for memorable summer evenings. A giant trampoline will delight the youngest guests, while the large south-facing terrace and covered walkway terrace offer multiple shaded and sunny living spaces throughout the day.

Comfort and peace of mind Air conditioning throughout, fiber-optic wifi, washer and dryer, baby equipment (high chair, travel cot, safety gates): everything is in place for a comfortable stay in any season. The property has secure double electric gate access and 6 parking spaces (4 outdoor, 2 in garage).
