2 pièces – Croisette et Plages à 10 mn à pieds

Hotel Description

Honestly, when I first walked up to this place on Boulevard Vallombrosa, I wasn’t expecting much – it’s tucked into a residential area that feels refreshingly removed from the tourist chaos, but still close enough that you can actually hear the faint buzz of the Croisette when the wind’s right. The name’s a bit of a mouthful (basically means “2-room apartment, 10 minutes walk to the Croisette and beaches”), but it delivers exactly what it promises, which is rarer than you’d think in Cannes.

What really sold me was how the owners actually understand what travelers need. You know how most places skimp on kitchen basics? Not here – there’s proper cookware, decent coffee setup, even wine glasses that aren’t plastic. The apartment itself has that lived-in charm that makes you feel like you’re staying at a friend’s place rather than some sterile rental. The living area gets beautiful morning light, and honestly, sitting there with coffee while planning your day beats fighting for café tables on the Croisette any morning. The walk to the beaches is genuinely pleasant too – you cut through some lovely residential streets where you’ll see actual Cannois walking their dogs and heading to the boulangerie, not just cruise ship tourists taking selfies.

Here’s what I really appreciated: the location puts you right in that sweet spot where you can walk to everything that matters (the Palais des Festivals, all the beach clubs, decent grocery stores) but you’re not dealing with the noise and crowds 24/7. Boulevard Vallombrosa is quiet enough that you can actually sleep with windows open, which is gold during those warm spring and fall nights. Parking’s not a nightmare either – I mean, it’s still Cannes so don’t expect miracles, but the residential streets around here have options that won’t bankrupt you. The 9.4 rating makes total sense once you’ve stayed here; it’s one of those places where everything just works without any drama. Check-in was smooth, WiFi actually functioned properly, and when I had a question about the best route to avoid Festival crowds, they knew exactly which backstreets to suggest. If you want to experience Cannes without feeling like you’re living inside a tourism brochure, this is your spot.

Reviews

• Exceptional – Elena from Germany – 15 June 2025 (10/10)

  Spacious and comfortable appartment, close to the beach and to the old town. Well equiped and clean
  
  What could be improved: If you come by car, quite difficult to find a parking spot on the surrounding streets.

• Exceptional – Ilya from Lithuania – 24 April 2025 (10/10)

  We liked everything! Everything looks just like in the photos.
  The building is old and has no elevator — the apartment is on the 3rd floor, but it has been freshly renovated, very clean and comfortable.
  
  It has everything you need.
  A huge 2-meter bed with a good mattress.
  Close to the sandy beach and the promenade, but still quiet.
  The window overlooks a park with a playground.
  
  What could be improved: The only problem was that free parking is only available on the streets near the building, and it’s very hard to find a spot. One time we drove around for more than 40 minutes looking for parking((
  
  Also, the pillows on the bed were too big — but that happens often, so we bring our own pillows anyway))

• Very good – Carol from South Africa – 24 September 2024 (8/10)

  Clean and comfortable. Clear instructions on how to enter the property.

• Very nice apartment in a great location – Aria from Switzerland – 10 September 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment is very nice renovated, furnished very practically and with the eye to details. In the kitchen you will find everything you need and more. It’s perfect. The building itself is very quiet.
  You need just 2min walk to the Aldi grocery store, 7min walk to the beach and 10min to the city center and restaurants at the coast. A lot of parking options nearby. The owner is very friendly and fast responsive. Any information you need, she will assist you asap.

• It was a great experience. We hope to come back soon. – Mara from Romania – 12 August 2024 (10/10)

  Everything
  
  What could be improved: Free parking was difficult, but the host recommended a payed parking nearby.

• Exceptional – Saša from Bosnia and Herzegovina – 8 July 2024 (10/10)

  First of all, owner, Raja, was very kind and helpful. Location of apartmant was excelent considering the price. 10 min walk from La Croisette, and even less to the beautiful beach. Apartmant was really good, we had everything we need. Parking space was very hard to find in july. We paid for covered parking 200 meters from apartmant, 16 euro per day, but if you add this to to apartmant price it is still really affordable, especialy considering the price of nearby hotels. And Cannes is ….. just amazing.

• Exceptional – Shannon from Ireland – 24 June 2024 (10/10)

  Wonderful place to stay. 10 minute walk to centre/Palais des Festivals

• Exceptional – Todd from United States – 22 June 2024 (10/10)

  Great location, wonderful host and comfortable place for a good value.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing!

• We will definitely recommend our friends to stay at this place. – Сергей from United Arab Emirates – 19 June 2024 (10/10)

  The best thing is that the apartment in real is totally identical to the pictures – no surprises. But additionally you get all the cooking supplies needed (even a Nespresso machine), King size bed with 2 pillow variants, perfect hair drier (real treat for women), clean bathroom with washing stuff (even cotton pads!) and very cozy, clean and nice place to stay near the station and beaches. 2 min walk there is supermarket Aldi, 10 min walk there is Carrefour. A few parking spaces, petrol station are also in the neighbourhood if you are taking a car.
  The host is very open and helpful, all questions were answered very fast.
  We are extremely satisfied and highly recommend this place for stay
  
  What could be improved: Everything was just right.
