A096 – Superbe appartement avec vue Mer et Piscine

Hotel Description

Honestly, when I first pulled up to 48 Avenue Sainte-Marguerite, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this apartment rental – but wow, the sea view from A096 actually delivers on its promise. You’re positioned perfectly here, just far enough from the Croisette madness to get some peace, but close enough that you can walk to the beach in about eight minutes (I timed it). The pool situation is what really sold me though – it’s this lovely shared space that never felt crowded, even during my July stay when Cannes was absolutely packed with festival overflow and summer tourists.

The apartment itself has that lived-in charm that you don’t get from sterile hotel rooms. I mean, sure, it’s a 3-star place so don’t expect marble everything, but the kitchen actually works (the coffee maker is decent, thank god), and that terrace… well, you’ll probably spend most of your mornings out there with your café watching the Med change colors. What I really appreciated was how quiet it gets at night – Avenue Sainte-Marguerite isn’t one of those streets where party people stumble home at 3 AM. The building has character too, sort of that classic French Riviera architecture that makes you feel like you’re in an actual neighborhood rather than tourist central. Parking was surprisingly manageable – there’s street parking that’s not impossible to find if you’re strategic about timing.

You know what really sets this place apart? The owner clearly knows Cannes. There’s this little folder with actual useful recommendations, not just the obvious tourist traps. They pointed me toward Marché Forville on Saturday mornings (get there early for the best produce), and honestly, being able to walk to the old town Le Suquet area in fifteen minutes made me feel like I had some insider access to the real Cannes. The beach access is solid too – you’re closer to the less chaotic stretches near Palm Beach rather than being stuck in the Croisette zoo. During festival season this location would be perfect actually, close enough to the action but with a real retreat to come back to. The pool area gets lovely afternoon sun, and I spent more time there than I expected, just reading and pretending I was way more sophisticated than I actually am.
