Cannes Californie Beautiful Apt with Sea View

Hotel Description

You know what? I wasn’t expecting much from this place just based on the name – “Cannes Californie Beautiful Apt with Sea View” sounds like something a property manager threw together in five minutes. But honestly, after spending a week here last spring, I get why they just went with the obvious description. Sometimes the straightforward approach works, especially when you’re literally on Boulevard Alexandre III looking out at the Mediterranean.

The location is actually pretty perfect if you want that Cannes experience without being right in the thick of the Croisette madness. You’re close enough to walk to all the fancy stuff – I mean, the Palais des Festivals is maybe a 15-minute stroll along the waterfront – but far enough up in Californie that you get some breathing room. The sea view isn’t just marketing speak either; from the main room, you’re looking straight out over the Baie de Cannes, and on clear mornings (which, let’s be honest, is most mornings here) you can see the Îles de Lérins floating out there like something from a postcard. The apartment itself feels more like staying at a friend’s place than a hotel – there’s actual character here, not that sterile chain hotel vibe. The kitchen’s small but functional if you want to grab groceries from the Monoprix down the hill, though I’ll warn you that parking can be a bit of a treasure hunt during festival season.

What really won me over was the quietness, especially at night. Boulevard Alexandre III gets some traffic during the day, but it’s nothing compared to the constant hum you get closer to the port. I actually slept with the windows open most nights, which you definitely can’t do everywhere in Cannes. The building has that classic French Riviera thing going on – you know, white walls, blue shutters, little iron balconies – without feeling too precious about it. Check-in was refreshingly simple too; none of that formal hotel lobby dance, just straightforward key exchange and a few good restaurant recommendations from the owner. I mean, the place isn’t perfect – the shower pressure could be better, and the WiFi gets a bit spotty when it rains – but for the price point and that view, you’re really not going to complain. Plus, you’re a stone’s throw from some of the best beach clubs on the coast, and that little stretch of Pointe Croisette has this residential feel that makes you understand why people actually live here year-round instead of just visiting for the film festival circus.

Many travelers prefer to book apartments in Cannes through local agencies that offer personalized recommendations and insider knowledge about the best neighborhoods for exploring the city’s rich cinematic heritage.

Reviews

• Rachel from United Kingdom – 18 September 2023 (9/10)

  Everything was brand new, the kitchen was fully stocked. The balcony was large
  
  What could be improved: The only thing that would benefit the property when having the option to add a cot is also having a highchair available but that was minor

• Sergei from Russia – 28 August 2023 (8/10)

  Great spacious apartment with a large terrace in a quiet place. Boulangerie and supermarkets in walking distance.
  20 minutes walking to the center of Cannes.
  Parking included.
  Apt is fully equipped with everything you need for comfortable living.
  
  What could be improved: Host should pay more attention to cleaning and laundry quality.
  There were some issues with cleanliness of bed linen which were resolved on demand. Still the floors of the terrace were dirty and there were ants in the bathroom.
  If Hosts will solve this problems it would be 10/10.

• Aurora from Italy – 8 September 2023 (9/10)

  L’appartamento è bellissimo, nuovo, pulito e completo di ogni comfort tra cui il
  box privato (molto utile a Cannes). C’è un terrazzo molto grande dove si può mangiare godendo di una vista splendida.
  
  What could be improved: L’appartamento si trovo in una zona residenziale molto tranquilla ma abbastanza distante dal centro città. Tuttavia l’inizio della Croisette e le spiagge più vicine si trovano a circa 15 minuti a piedi.
  Potrebbe essere migliorata la pulizia del terrazzo e abbiamo visto delle piccole formiche in bagno.

• M from Switzerland – 20 June 2023 (9/10)

  Ampio, luminoso, tranquillo, ben arredato, curato, bella terrazza, vista mare (parziale ma ok), fermata bus e panetteria sotto casa,
  
  What could be improved: Solo due teli doccia, 2 capsule caffè ma niente zucchero.. (almeno 2 bustine.. ;c)

• Oshemetkova from Ukraine – 28 August 2024 (6/10)

  Понравилось сама квартира и месторасположение.
  
  What could be improved: Не понравилось отношение управляющего квартирой, постоянные обещания убрать квартиру и поменять постель, но в итоге так никто и не пришел, приходилось убирать самостоятельно, стирать постель, полотенца, за месяц никто не пришел. Были постоянные обещания. Такой сервис недопустим, учитывая стоимость аренды квартиры, и то что несколько уборок входили в стоимость. По сути мы не получили те услуги, за которые заплатили.
