Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about the Alma Florian? It’s tucked right into the heart of Cannes on Rue Florian, but somehow it doesn’t feel like you’re sleeping in the middle of tourist chaos. I mean, you’re literally a three-minute walk from the Palais des Festivals – I timed it because I’m weird like that – but the street itself has this surprisingly residential vibe that most visitors never discover.

The apartment itself is honestly bigger than I expected for a Cannes rental. Four people can actually spread out here without stepping on each other, which is saying something in this city where square footage costs more than gold. But here’s the thing that really won me over – that terrace. It’s not some tiny Juliet balcony situation; you can actually sit out there with your morning coffee and watch the neighborhood wake up. The woman at the boulangerie across the way starts setting up around 6:30 AM, and there’s something oddly charming about having a front-row seat to that daily ritual. Sure, you’re not getting sea views (this isn’t a €500-a-night Croisette hotel), but you get something better – you feel like you’re actually living in Cannes for a few days instead of just visiting it.

What impressed me most was how the place handles the practical stuff that travel blogs never mention. The kitchen actually has everything you need if you want to grab ingredients from the Marché Forville – which, by the way, is about a seven-minute walk and absolutely worth getting up early for on Saturday mornings. There’s decent water pressure in the shower (not always a given in older French buildings), and honestly, the air conditioning works better than some four-star places I’ve stayed in. The Wi-Fi held up fine when I needed to work, though I’ll admit I spent most of my time on that terrace instead of staring at my laptop. Parking can be a bit of a puzzle in this neighborhood – there’s street parking if you’re lucky, or a public garage about two blocks away if you’re not. During Festival season, forget about it, but the rest of the year it’s totally manageable. The 8.8 rating makes perfect sense once you’re there – it’s not trying to be the Ritz, but it nails everything it’s actually going for. This is the kind of place where you end up staying longer than planned because it just… works.

Reviews

  • Fantastic stay in Cannes – Marko from Sweden – 26 July 2025 (9/10)

    The apartment is very functionally and super nicely decorated located on the top floor of the building. The team, Sophie, Bastien and Valentin, who arranges everything is also very accommodating and responsive to ones needs prior to, during the stay and expedites the leaving very smoothly. The location is perfect both for beach life (4 min walk) as well as shopping (around the corner), restaurants (at the doorstep) or even exploring the coast of Provence (train station less than 10 min walk). We could not have asked for anything more – the Alma Florian Apartment is fantastic and we would easily like to return for some lazy days in Cannes.

    What could be improved: That we could not stay longer tis time 😉

  • Absolutely fantastic property – would highly recommend! – Stephanie0310 from United Kingdom – 14 May 2025 (10/10)

    What an absolutely incredible stay! We were four women on a girls' trip to Cannes. The location is exceptional, and the host was fantastic. They shared a PDF document before the trip, which was super helpful and informative, and someone met us at the property when we arrived – he even helped carry our bags! The property is gorgeous, spacious, and perfect for a few days away!

    What could be improved: The property is up four flights of stairs so maybe not ideal if you're not physically able.

  • Exceptional – Maksim from Russia – 13 August 2024 (10/10)

    I would like to especially note the excellent work of Sophie! She contacted me in advance and informed me of the check-in details. Wonderful apartment with a terrace. Hot water, air conditioning, internet, everything was super! Despite the fact that there is a noisy restaurant under the windows, you can’t hear anything in the apartment, nothing interfered with our relaxation. Excellent location of the apartment, restaurants, shops, beach – all within a 3-minute walk! I recommend it to everyone!

  • Delightful stay and will 100% return. – Rab from United States – 19 June 2024 (9/10)

    Amazing location, amazing hosts

    What could be improved: I couldn’t seem to get the AC quite cold enough.

  • I would recommend, very pleasant flat, central location near shops and beaches. – Bertrand from United States – 9 June 2024 (8/10)

    The apartment is very pleasant. The terrace is large enough for a meal with 6 people.
    the place is decorated with taste
    Staff was pleasant and competent.

    What could be improved: The rue Florian is extremely loud at night during the season. There are four restaurant downstairs and they love loud music. You must close all windows to get some quiet time. The windows are soundproof and work really well, hence very important to have the ACs when hot outside.
    The mornings are very pleasant, coffee on the terrace and under the sun is bliss.

  • We rented the apartment for me and my boss and it doesn’t have two separate rooms. The second room doesn’t exist, it’s t – Solana from Spain – 19 July 2024 (7/10)

    Very moderno and Nice.

    What could be improved: It’s def not for 4 people. Just 2.

  • Exceptional – Emma from France – 4 April 2025 (10/10)

    L’appartement est juste superbe, nous n’avons pas été déçues. Sans parler de l’accueil, vous êtes très bien accueillis et l’équipe est très professionnelle.
    Je recommande à 110%.

  • Exceptional – Shevchenko from Italy – 19 March 2025 (10/10)

    La casa molto accogliente, ottima posizione, tutto attrezzato

  • Tres bien! – Damien from France – 14 August 2024 (10/10)

    L’emplacement top, et le soin apporté a la deco.

    What could be improved: La climatisation un peu capricieuse.

  • Trés agréable – Marie-christine from France – 28 February 2024 (10/10)
