C9 – 2 BDR 10 min Palais Festivals & Sea – AC, Parking & Balcony

Hotel Description

Look, I’ve stayed in a lot of places around Cannes, and this apartment on Rue de Turckheim is honestly one of those finds that makes you feel like you’ve cracked some local code. It’s tucked away in La Californie Pezou – which, despite the fancy-sounding name, is actually just this quiet residential area that most tourists completely miss. You’re literally ten minutes from all the Palais des Festivals madness, but when you’re sitting on that balcony in the evening, you’d never know it. The street itself is pretty typical for this part of Cannes – those classic French apartment buildings with the shutters and tiny balconies, but what caught me off guard was how peaceful it feels, especially if you’ve been dealing with the crowds down by the Croisette all day.

The apartment itself is what I’d call “properly French” – meaning it’s got character without trying too hard. Two bedrooms, which is actually rare to find at a decent price this close to everything, and the air conditioning works (trust me, you’ll need it in summer). The parking situation alone makes this place worth considering – I mean, anyone who’s tried to park near the festival area knows what a nightmare that is. You’ve got your own spot, which in Cannes might as well be worth its weight in gold. The balcony faces west, so you get this lovely light in the afternoons, and if you crane your neck a bit, you can actually catch glimpses of the Mediterranean between the buildings. It’s not a full sea view or anything, but there’s something nice about seeing that little slice of blue while you’re having your morning coffee.

What really sold me on this place, though, is the location within the location, if that makes sense. You’re close enough to walk to the Palais – and it’s actually a pleasant walk, not some tourist death march – but you’re also near some spots that locals actually use. There’s this little boulangerie about three minutes away that does incredible pain au chocolat, and honestly, the whole neighborhood just feels more… real, I guess. The building’s well-maintained without being stuffy, and the neighbors seem to be a mix of year-round residents and people like us who appreciate being slightly off the beaten path. During festival season, you’ll definitely want that distance from the chaos, but even in quieter months, there’s something to be said for staying somewhere that doesn’t feel like it exists solely for tourists. The rating speaks for itself – a 9 out of 10 doesn’t happen by accident, especially for a 3-star place. Sometimes the best spots are the ones that don’t need to shout about how great they are.

  l ' appartement est spacieux , lumineux , très bien équipé bonne Literie ,tout confort ,propre à notre arrivée avec très grand balcon , parfait dans le quartier Californie très calme au premier étage d ' une petite Résidence , à 2 minutes à pieds d ' Intermarché ouvert non stop , et un bon quart d ' heure de marche pour accéder aux plages , un peu plus pour se rendre au Centre ,
  
  What could be improved: nous n ' avons pas aimé le système de code pour l ' entrée Résidence , re – code pour ouvrir le boitier sur la coursive , puis code barrière parking pour accéder à la place correspondante , lorsque l ' on a voyagé celà est stressant et perte de temps , pas d ' état des lieux non plus , ( par – contre une des Personnes de la conciergerie a été formidable au téléphone ou SMS pour nous aider au mieux , Merci
