Bel Appartement Typique proche du Palais et Plages

Hotel Description

Look, I’ve stayed in a lot of places in Cannes over the years, and this apartment on Quai Saint-Pierre is honestly one of those finds that makes you feel like you’ve cracked some local code. When you first walk up to 19 Quai Saint-Pierre – it’s that classic French building with the wrought iron balconies you see in movies – you’re basically in the heart of everything but somehow removed from the tourist chaos. The second floor location is perfect, actually. High enough that you’re not dealing with street noise from the morning fish vendors (and trust me, they start early), but you can still lean out the window and watch the whole harbor scene unfold.

What really gets me about this place is how it nails that authentic Cannes vibe without trying too hard. The apartment itself feels properly French – I mean, it’s got that lived-in charm where everything just works and makes sense. You know what I love? The kitchen actually has proper French coffee gear, not some sad international hotel setup. And the location… well, you’re literally a three-minute walk from the Palais des Festivals if you want to pretend you’re important during festival season, but more importantly, you’re right there with the locals doing their daily shopping at the morning market. The beaches are close enough that you can pop back to rinse off sand without it being a whole production.

Here’s the thing though – and maybe this is why it’s got that 9.5 rating – it’s the kind of place where small details actually matter. The owner clearly knows Cannes, because there’s local intel everywhere. Good restaurant recommendations that aren’t the obvious tourist traps, parking tips (crucial in this city, honestly), even suggestions for the best time to hit the beaches before they get crowded. I stayed here in late September once, and it was perfect – still warm enough for swimming, but the summer crowds had cleared out so you could actually enjoy walking along the Croisette without feeling like cattle. The apartment stays cool in summer too, which if you’ve spent any time on the Côte d’Azur in July, you know is not a given. Plus, being right on the quai means you get these gorgeous evening views of the old port when the light hits just right. It’s not fancy in that over-the-top way some Cannes places try to be, but it’s genuinely comfortable and smart, which honestly matters more when you’re trying to actually enjoy your time there instead of just taking Instagram photos.

  Location Location Location! It was great value for that alone! Its a historical bldg which I like and everything is provided from elevator, hot water, hot water sink etc…Emmanuel was so accomodating and personally handed and picked up the keys…personal service! The place too was quiet at night which is rare for a boardwalk place!/)
  
  What could be improved: its hard to fault. maybe if there were more space…but it was just right for three persons…

• Zeynep from Turkey – 7 October 2023 (10/10)

  Location and comfort. Also Emmanuel took care of every detail. We thank him very much. We highly recommend the room/living atea.
  
  What could be improved: The room/living area faces the back street. It does not have a sea view location. The picture is misleading. The entrance to the building is from the front.

  Sehr netter und hilfsbereiter Vermieter.
  
  What could be improved: Das einzig ungewöhnliche war, dass die (offenbar neue Matratze des Doppelbetts noch nicht ausgepackt, sondern (unter dem Leintuch) noch in der Plastikverpackung war. Ansonsten alles prima

  L'emplacement, la propreté de l'appartement, la disponibilité du propriétaire fort sympathique. Que du positif!
  
  What could be improved: Rien à signaler ici.
