Villa Valmer, Renaissance villa in 7th arrondissement of Marseille, France
The Villa Valmer stands on three floors with white stone facades, featuring decorative elements and a central garden overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
Built in 1865 for oil manufacturer Charles Gounelle, the property initially named Wave to the Sea served as a Maritime School from 1942 to 1968.
The villa represents the economic growth of Marseille during the 19th century, when merchants brought Mediterranean goods through the city port.
The public garden surrounding Villa Valmer includes two viewing terraces offering panoramic views from the Blue Coast to Marseilleveyre hills.
The property will transform into a five-star hotel while maintaining a cultural program worth 4 million euros throughout its operational period.
