Hotel Description
Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw this apartment listing with that ridiculously long name, I almost scrolled past it. But I’m so glad I didn’t, because this place turned out to be exactly what Cannes should be about, minus the tourist circus.
The location is actually perfect if you know anything about Cannes. You’re up in La Californie, which sounds fancy but really just means you’re on the hillside where actual people live, not just cruise ship crowds taking selfies. The 15-minute walk to the Croisette is no joke – it’s a proper walk, but honestly? It’s the best part of staying here. You wind down through these quiet residential streets, past old villas with their shutters still closed at 10 AM, and suddenly you’re at the beach. Going back up after a long day… well, that’s when you appreciate having two terraces to collapse on.
And those terraces – they’re not some tiny afterthought balconies. The morning one catches the sun perfectly with your coffee, and the evening one is where you’ll end up spending way too much time with a glass of wine, watching the lights come on across the bay. The apartment itself feels like someone’s actual home, not a sterile rental. Two proper bedrooms, two full bathrooms (thank god, because sharing one bathroom on vacation is relationship suicide), and the private parking is honestly worth its weight in gold. You know how impossible parking is in Cannes during festival season? This solves that nightmare completely.
The pool area is shared, but it never felt crowded when I was there in late spring. There’s something really nice about having that option without the pool being right outside your door – you get the best of both worlds. The whole building has this relaxed residential vibe that’s completely different from the hotel scene down by the port. You’ll hear roosters in the morning instead of revving Ferraris, which depending on your mood, is either charming or slightly annoying.
What really sold me on this place is how it sits right in that sweet spot between being close enough to walk to all the action but far enough away that you can actually sleep at night. The Palais des Festivals is about the same distance as the beach – totally doable on foot, but you’re not dealing with the chaos of staying right in the thick of it. Plus, there’s a little grocery store about halfway down the hill that becomes your best friend for morning pastries and evening wine runs.
The 9.2 rating makes complete sense once you’ve stayed here. It’s not trying to be some luxury hotel experience – it’s just a really well-thought-out apartment in a genuinely good location, run by people who seem to actually care about the details. The kind of place where the Wi-Fi works, the shower has proper pressure, and you find yourself already planning when you can come back before you’ve even left.

Absolutely fabulous – Stephanie from United Kingdom – 27 May 2025 (10/10)
The property was in an exceptional location, very clean, well equipped and spacious and the hosts were simply amazing and very accommodating. We were a 6 minute drive from the Carlton hotel and a 50 minute Uber from Monaco. I could not recommend enough.
What could be improved: N/A, I couldn't fault any aspect!Superb – Sriram from India – 29 October 2024 (9/10)

What could be improved: Nothing specificA very nice apartment in a nice area which was ideal for our stay . – Michael from United Kingdom – 18 May 2024 (9/10)
Excellent location within 15 minutes walk of the beach and the town centre . Well equipped apartment with excellent views and two large terraces . Comfortable beds . Secure underground parking beneath the apartment . The apartment is in a quiet area . We would definitely stay here again .
What could be improved: The apartment would benefit from some brief user instructions for the appliances. The apartment has a nice pool which is shared with a few other properties but this was only cleaned and opened towards the end of our stay.Not the cleanest! – Annie from Australia – 17 July 2024 (6/10)
Great size of the apartment, two terraces and a nice secure building
Close to supermarket and Cannes town, only 15 min walk
Note: it's most likely an apartment someone normally lives in and not just for rentals
What could be improved: We were quite disappointed to be honest, we were so excited to stay here but it didn't live up to expectations. The apartment doesn't look like the photos on this website, it's definitely not as clean or as nice, nor was the pool
The apartment didn't feel clean upon check-in and we washed our sheets as we were unsure. The pillows were not comfortable.
The terraces and windows were dirty and not up to the standard you would expect for this priceWe had a wonderful stay. The host was very generous in supporting our stay. – Anonymous from United Kingdom – 21 May 2025 (8/10)
The host was excellent in supporting our stay. We highly recommend!
What could be improved: We would have really appreciated shampoo, conditioner and shower gel as these are usually supplied.Très bien – Chrystelle from France – 3 June 2025 (10/10)
Très bien situé et très spacieux
