Angie By Terry’s Homes

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw the address on Rue Marcellin Berthelot, I thought I’d be stuck in some sterile residential area away from all the Cannes action. But honestly? This turned out to be one of those happy accidents that makes you feel like you discovered something special. Angie By Terry’s Homes sits in La Californie, which is this quietly upscale neighborhood that most tourists completely miss – and their loss, really. You’re about a 10-minute walk down to the Croisette, but you get to escape all that tourist chaos when you want to actually, you know, relax.

The place itself feels more like staying at a well-traveled friend’s apartment than a typical hotel, which I mean in the best possible way. Terry (or whoever’s running things) clearly gets that travelers want space to spread out without paying those insane beachfront prices. The rooms are thoughtfully set up – not huge, but everything’s where it should be, and there’s this nice attention to detail that you don’t usually see at three-star places. I particularly loved how quiet it gets at night; you’re residential enough to avoid the party noise from the port area, but close enough that you can still hear the gentle hum of the city if you open the windows. The morning light coming through those windows is pretty spectacular too, especially if you’re on one of the higher floors.

What really sold me was the neighborhood itself – La Californie has this authentic French residential vibe with actual bakeries where locals grab their morning bread, not tourist traps selling overpriced croissants. There’s a small market on Thursdays that I stumbled across, and the walk down toward the old port takes you through these winding streets that feel properly Mediterranean. You’ll want comfortable shoes for the hills (this is Cannes, after all), but that slight elevation gives you these glimpses of the sea that make the climb worth it. The 9.3 rating makes total sense once you’ve stayed here – it’s the kind of place where small touches add up to something memorable, and you end up recommending it to people months later because it just… worked. During festival season I imagine it books up fast, but honestly, Cannes is probably better in shoulder season anyway when you can actually enjoy it without fighting crowds for every restaurant table.

• Super séjour – Rémi from France – 25 April 2024 (10/10)

  L'appartement est bien décoré et très agréable, au calme mais proche du centre-ville (seulement 12 minutes à pieds du palais des festivals). Merci Terry pour ton accueil et ta gentillesse ! Je reviendrai 🙂

• Superb – Emma from Austria – 17 August 2024 (9/10)

  Ich habe vor kurzem in diesem wunderbaren Apartment in Cannes übernachtet und kann es nur wärmstens empfehlen! Die Lage ist einfach perfekt – nur einen kurzen Spaziergang von der berühmten La Croisette und dem Stadtzentrum entfernt. Man kann die Strände, Restaurants und Geschäfte bequem zu Fuß erreichen.
  
  Das Badezimmer war ein wahres Highlight – modern und super sauber, ideal für eine entspannte Auszeit. Auch die Klimaanlage hat hervorragend funktioniert und sorgte für angenehme Temperaturen, was besonders in den warmen Sommermonaten wichtig ist.
  
  Die Küche war ebenfalls gut ausgestattet mit allem, was man für einen gelungenen Aufenthalt braucht. Es ist schön, das Frühstück selbst zubereiten zu können oder sich nach einem langen Tag zurückzuziehen und zu kochen.
  
  Zusammenfassend war mein Aufenthalt in diesem Apartment einfach fantastisch. Ich kann es jedem empfehlen, der eine unvergessliche Zeit in Cannes verbringen möchte. Vielen Dank an die Gastgeber für die herzliche Betreuung! Ich komme definitiv wieder!
