C066-Luxurious apartment with sea view – Cannes

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about this place? The address – Rue Velasquez is this quiet little street that most tourists never find, but it’s actually perfectly positioned. I mean, you’re literally on Pointe Croisette, which sounds fancy and is fancy, but without the chaos of being right on the main Croisette strip where the cruise ship crowds swarm.

The apartment itself is honestly quite lovely – the sea view isn’t one of those “if you crane your neck and squint” situations. It’s proper Mediterranean blue stretching out from what feels like your own private perch above Cannes. The space has that effortless French elegance thing going on, nothing too precious or overthought. I found myself spending way too much time on the balcony with morning coffee, watching the sailboats drift past and the early joggers on the coastal path below. The kitchen’s actually functional too (you’d be surprised how many rental kitchens are basically decorative), which comes in handy since there’s a fantastic little marché just a few streets inland where locals shop – not the touristy one near the Palais.

What I really appreciated was how quiet it gets at night. Sure, during festival season all bets are off, but most of the year you’re far enough from the main hotel strip to actually sleep. The building feels solid, proper French construction, not like some of those newer developments that seem to amplify every footstep. Parking can be a bit of a dance – this is Cannes, after all – but there’s usually something within a block or two if you’re patient. The 8.1 rating makes sense to me; it’s not perfect (the shower pressure is merely adequate, and the WiFi can be moody), but it delivers on what matters most. Honestly, for a 4-star place in this part of Cannes, you’re getting solid value without the premium you’d pay at one of those palatial hotels along the main drag. Plus, you’re close enough to walk to all the good stuff – that little wine bar on Rue d’Antibes, the actual beach clubs that locals use, even the morning fish market if you’re ambitious – but far enough away to feel like you’re living in Cannes rather than just visiting it.

Reviews

• Lola from United Kingdom – 26 June 2024 (9/10)

  Lovely space, great balcony! Theyve kept it so clean and tidy too!
  Was a great location for Cannes, also considering whats available in Cannes for accom, this was far better than what we expected to find!
  
  Thanks again!
  
  What could be improved: Sadly was only one key, so my colleague and I had to share and coordinate return times etc.
  Wasnt too bad but deffo would be great to have another key!

• Marzia from Italy – 28 May 2024 (9/10)

  Great position, very close to the Croisette and the beaches (although we were there for work so mainly concerned with getting to the Palais and nearby hotels, which was easy enough). Very spacious apartment, very well-equipped kitchen and great wifi connection. The beds are super comfortable. Would definitely stay again!
  
  What could be improved: Couldn't get the television to work, but it didn't bother us too much as we were there for work. A full size mirror would be nice, but again there are mirrors in the flat.

• Alina from United Kingdom – 3 June 2023 (9/10)

  Lovely apartment in a great location close to beach. Plenty restaurants and shops around although the very centre is a 15 min walk. Price is rather good considering how expensive Cannes is.

• Saira from United Kingdom – 10 May 2023 (9/10)

  very clean, all facilities clean and looked new, very convenient for MIPIM (our reason for staying), good instructions for remote check-in
  
  What could be improved: only 1 toilet so for 4 people this is not ideal but at least toilet separate to shower

• Edin from Switzerland – 31 July 2022 (9/10)

  What could be improved: I didn't like the fact that it was indicated that the trash must be thrown out and the dishes washed (I certainly didn't have one or the other). I think it's the job of the cleaning service, not the people who came on vacation. certainly all praise for the facility

• Anthony from Australia – 18 September 2024 (7/10)

  Close to beach but needed to uber for everything else
  Good space
  
  What could be improved: Have to pick up and drop off keys at a remote location that was 15 minute walking time
  Had to empty rubbish at end of stay
  Dishes were not properly cleaned

• Alina from United Kingdom – 8 June 2022 (9/10)

  Nice apartment close to beach and promenade.
  Well equipped and clean.
  
  What could be improved: Parking difficult
  Close to train line and the noise is very loud if the windows are open but ok at night.

• Teresa from Italy – 12 August 2024 (9/10)

  Gli spazi, molto ampi. L’arredamento nuovo. Aria condizionata in tutte le stanze. Ben organizzata. Vicinissima alla spiaggia. Nell’appartamento Non mancava niente. C’era tutto anche i giochi per il mare.

• Maria from Italy – 24 July 2024 (9/10)

  Tutto perfetto, pulitissima, ben arredata e attrezzata di stoviglie, prodotti per il bagno e per pulire la cucina, tutto nuovo e pulito. Tenda esterna aria condizionata, Wi-Fi , stendino, avvolgibili elettrici. Vicinissima alla Croisette. Molto graditi i fiori freschi sul tavolo all’arrivo.
  
  What could be improved: Un suggerimento: fornirla di teli da bagno più grandi e qualcuno in più.

• Francisco from Spain – 8 July 2024 (9/10)
