— The hotel
2 bedrooms with terrace 100 metres from the sea
First Impressions
When I first walked into 2 bedrooms with terrace 100 metres from the sea, honestly, the name pretty much tells you everything you need to know — but it doesn’t capture how close you actually feel to the Mediterranean. This four-star property sits on avenue des Hespérides in Pointe Croisette, and I mean, you can literally hear the waves from your terrace. The building itself has that classic Riviera charm without being too flashy, which I appreciated after seeing some of the more ostentatious places along the coast.
Location & Neighborhood
The location is honestly what makes this place special. You’re in Cannes, but you’re not dealing with the chaos of the main Croisette strip — Pointe Croisette is quieter, more residential, yet you can still walk to all the action in about ten minutes. I loved being able to slip away from the crowds and actually relax. The beach access is ridiculously easy, and there’s a small local market just around the corner where you can grab fresh produce and that amazing French bread for breakfast on your terrace.
The Apartment
The two-bedroom setup works perfectly for couples or small families — I stayed with friends and we never felt cramped. The kitchen is well-equipped enough that we actually cooked a few meals instead of eating out every night (which your wallet will thank you for in Cannes). What really sold me was the terrace though — it’s not huge, but it’s perfectly positioned to catch both morning sun and evening breezes. You know what’s nice? Having your coffee out there in the morning while watching people head to the beach below.
Practical Considerations
The apartment comes with all the basics you’d expect from a four-star place — good Wi-Fi, air conditioning that actually works, and a washing machine (seriously underrated when you’re traveling). There’s no on-site restaurant, but honestly, you’re in Cannes — why would you want to be tied to hotel dining? The building has parking available, which is a godsend if you’re driving along the coast, though I’d recommend just walking everywhere once you’re settled in.
Why Guests Love It
I can see why couples rate this place so highly — there’s something romantic about having your own little slice of the Riviera without the hotel formality. The proximity to the sea means you can pop down for a swim whenever you want, then retreat to your private space when the beach gets too crowded. It’s that perfect balance of being close to everything Cannes offers while having a peaceful base to return to. Plus, watching the sunset from your terrace with a glass of local rosé? Well, that’s pretty much the French Riviera experience right there.
