Apartment Montmorency

Hotel Description

Honestly, when I first pulled up to Apartment Montmorency on Chemin de la Nadine, I wasn’t expecting much – I mean, it’s tucked away on this quiet residential street that most tourists never find. But you know what? That turned out to be exactly why this place works so well. You’re maybe a 15-minute stroll from all the Croisette madness, but when you come home at night, it actually feels like you can breathe again.

The thing about staying here is that you get this authentic slice of how people actually live in Cannes, not just the glitzy festival version everyone sees on TV. The building itself has that classic French apartment vibe – you know, the kind with the heavy wooden doors and those shutters that actually work. I loved how quiet it gets in the evenings, especially compared to the hotels right on the waterfront where you’ve got people partying until 3 AM. The owner (well, I assume it was the owner) was there when I checked in, and she gave me these really specific directions to the best boulangerie nearby – not the tourist trap ones, but the place where locals grab their morning croissants. That’s the kind of insider knowledge you just don’t get at the big chain places.

What really surprised me was how well-equipped everything was for a 3-star spot. The kitchen actually had proper cookware, which meant I could hit up the morning market near the port and make breakfast instead of paying €15 for hotel continental buffet nonsense. And honestly? After a few days of restaurant meals, being able to make simple pasta or a salad felt like luxury. The Wi-Fi was solid too – I had to do some work calls and never had issues, which is more than I can say for some fancier places I’ve stayed. Parking was straightforward, though you’ll want to ask about the best spots since street parking around there can be tricky during peak season. The apartment stays cool even when it’s blazing outside, probably thanks to those thick walls and the way it’s positioned. I mean, Cannes in July can be brutal, but I slept well every night. The walk into town takes you past some gorgeous residential areas you’d never see otherwise, and there’s this little café about halfway that makes incredible espresso – became part of my daily routine, actually. For the price point and that perfect rating, Apartment Montmorency delivers something you can’t really put a star rating on: it feels like you’re staying in Cannes, not just visiting it.

The concierge service in Cannes can arrange exclusive access to film screenings, secure reservations at celebrity-frequented restaurants, and organize personalized visits to the Palais des Festivals and nearby islands.

Reviews

• Ylwa from Sweden – 7 March 2025 (10/10)

  We can't recommend this apartment highly enough—it had everything we could possibly need for exploring Cannes and the surrounding region — and only a couple of steps away from the beach. The breathtaking sea views made it hard to leave! We especially appreciated the convenience of the washing machine, dishwasher, coffee maker, and the on-site garage. It was also extremely baby-friendly, with a cot, high chair, and bathtub provided. Gérard was a fantastic host, offering excellent support and local tips that made us feel truly welcome. We hope to return again soon! Tack så mycket!

• Kim from United Kingdom – 10 April 2024 (10/10)

  Stunning, panoramic views from the large balcony- even better than the photos! We loved sitting and watching it all.
  
  Excellent location in Cannes: everything you need or want to see is within a few minutes walk of the apartment. We also went by train to Monaco and used an uber taxi to go to the mountain village of St Paul de Vence- the artist Marc Chagall is buried there. Lots of art and sculptures studios as well as boutique shops. We have been to Nice before, so didn’t go there this trip. However, if you haven’t been, it is another beautiful place to visit.
  
  Gerard is a very intelligent, kind and helpful host. We arrived late evening and Gerard provided us with lovely French bread, wine, cold meats, fruit, cheese and milk for our first day- delicious! His English is good which helped us too. Lots of thoughtful touches in the apartment such as fresh flowers on the table, toiletries to use and cleaning products provided.
  
  The beach has little cafe kiosks every 50 metres or so. The nearest to the apartment is number 16. If you go right and walk along to numbers 26-30, there are toilet cabins for public use on the other side of the road and the beach is quieter. Perfect for swimming and sunbathing!
  
  We had lovely meals out in the square near the film festival building and marina, as well as cheaper snacks and coffees in the old part of town. Also, we bought fresh fruit and salad from the main market. At one end opposite the market, on the corner, there was a fabulous bakery and cake shop!
  
  We felt very safe and welcome in Cannes- everyone we met was very helpful, polite and friendly.

• Paul from United States – 7 November 2022 (10/10)

  Amazing southern view, both sunrise and sunset can be seen durning autumn, winter and spring! Lots of space, great airflow with lots of windows. Quiet, no road noise. There are +100 plus books to read if you like reading. Deck chair was great for soaking up some sun! WiFi worked great.

• Padauy from United States – 1 July 2022 (10/10)

  Wspaniały właściciel, bardzo dobra lokalizacja, ładne mieszkanie z pięknym tarasem i widokiem na morze:) Zdecydowanie polecam każdemu mieszkanie:)

• Marie from France – 19 May 2024 (10/10)

  L'appartement est très agréable et bien aménagé. Le + de cet appartement est sa vue exceptionnelle sur la mer. La localisation est idéale pour aller à la plage (3 minutes) ou sur la Croisette(10 /15 minutes). Et les bus sont fréquents – pas besoin de voiture pour se déplacer.
  Gérard est très attentionné et disponible. Il m'a gentiment proposé de me récupérer à la gare de Cannes, à l'aller et au retour. Je retournerai dans cet appartement la prochaine fois que je descends à Cannes.

• Bettina from Germany – 31 March 2024 (10/10)
