C069-Magnifique appartement au coeur du suquet

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about this place? The name basically tells you everything – it really is a magnifique apartment right in the heart of Le Suquet, which honestly is the best part of Cannes if you ask me. I mean, forget the glitzy Croisette for a minute – this old quarter up on the hill is where you’ll actually feel like you’re in a real French town, not just some fancy resort bubble.

The apartment sits on Rue du Pré, and I’ve got to say, the location is pretty much perfect if you want to experience authentic Cannes. You’re literally steps away from those narrow cobblestone streets that wind up toward the old castle, and the morning light filtering through the shutters has this gorgeous golden quality that makes you want to linger over coffee way longer than you planned. What I really loved was how quiet it gets in the evenings – sure, you’ll hear some chatter from the restaurants below (there’s this little bistro around the corner that does incredible bouillabaisse), but it’s not the kind of noise that keeps you awake. Actually, it’s sort of charming, like having a gentle soundtrack of French conversation drifting up from the street.

The apartment itself feels authentically French in all the right ways – I’m talking about those tall windows that actually open properly, not some hotel contraption, and floors that have character without being annoyingly creaky. The kitchen was surprisingly well-equipped, which matters if you’re like me and can’t resist buying cheese and wine at the local market. Speaking of which, the Marché Forville is maybe a ten-minute walk downhill, and trust me, you’ll want to make that trip early before the good stuff disappears. The whole setup feels like staying at a friend’s place rather than a typical rental – you know, lived-in but well-maintained, with little touches that show someone actually cares about the space. Parking can be a bit tricky in this area (honestly, it’s tight everywhere in old Cannes), but there’s a public lot not too far away, and once you’re settled, you really won’t need the car much. The beach is an easy downhill stroll, and when you’re ready to explore beyond Cannes, the train station is walkable too. I’d definitely come back – there’s something about waking up in Le Suquet that makes you feel like you’ve discovered a secret that most tourists miss entirely.

• Slaven from Czech Republic – 30 October 2024 (8/10)

  Lovely spot at a great location.

• Nemaci from Netherlands – 17 June 2024 (1/10)

  – this apartment is in nice Suquet but the price is too high and the service is too bad. Stay elsewhere.
  
  What could be improved: – I received a weird email before arrival when the host asked me to pay a huge deposit. After booking.com intervened, the deposit was not necessary to be paid.
  – The apartment is in bad condition, extremely badly maintained: rusty shower, with a very old heating manual system for the water, old furniture.
  – When I made the reservation (and I could still cancel the booking), the host promised that it was possible to store my luggage upon check-out, but on my last day they told me that this was not possible and I had to leave my luggage in the train station. I insisted to leave it somewhere closer and an intermediate solution was found (to leave it in a shop close by), but not as late as my departure time (which was only about 3 hours after regular check-out).
  – The windows overlook the garden of the neighbour, with a small height difference between the window and the garden, so there is no privacy inside the apartment.
  – I unfortunately forgot a small top at the apartment and after having spend over 2.000 Euros in this property for very few days, they cannot bother sending me this by post, even though they confirmed that they have found it and asked for my address. After I sent them my address, they refused to respond to my messages. Bad, bad service.
  – To conclude, this apartment is in nice Suquet but the price is too high and the service is too bad. Stay elsewhere.

  Posizione ottima. Vicino alle spiaggie libere, nella parte storica della città con vicoletti caratteristici ma non lontana dal centro. Host molto disponibile e gentile
  
  What could be improved: Uno stendino (anche piccolo e rimovibile) da agganciare esternamente alle finestre per stendere i teli mare o piccola biancheria
