Choosing the right location
Which area to stay in Cassisfor your trip
Cassis is best explored on foot. Here is what changes depending on where you set down your bags.
A stone's throw from the calanques
From the port, you easily reach Port-Miou and the trails towards the calanques of Cassis.
Near the beaches and the centre
La Grande Mer and Le Bestouan, as well as the shops in the centre, remain within walking distance.
Choosing where to stay in Cassis for your trip
Where to stay in Cassis depends first on your plans. If you come for the Provençal atmosphere, the terraces and the market, accommodation on the port places you at the heart of local life. If you favour hiking and the calanques, you will appreciate setting off early in the morning, on foot, without having to take the car or hunt for a parking spot in peak season.
Summer remains the most sought-after season to enjoy the beaches and boat trips, but it calls for planning ahead: accommodation in the centre and on the port books up well in advance. Spring and early autumn offer softer light, fewer crowds and calmer access to the calanques, while keeping the charm of the village.

Staying above Le Bistrot de Ninot, on the port
Maison de Nino was designed as an extension of our table. By staying right above the restaurant, you enjoy a sea view over the port of Cassis and a rare location, in the front row of the quayside spectacle. In the morning you open onto the boats and the cliffs; in the evening you simply walk down a few steps to dine facing the sea.
This closeness makes all the difference for a car-free stay in Cassis: beaches, tourist office, shops and trailheads to the calanques are all within walking distance. You experience Cassis at the pace of the village, between a morning in the calanques, a stroll on the port and a fresh-fish meal on our shaded terrace.
