CARIBOU T2 piscine – Axelle Loc’Appart

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw “CARIBOU T2 piscine” on my booking confirmation, I had no clue what I was getting into. But this little apartment on Rue de la Verrerie turned out to be one of those pleasant surprises that makes you want to keep the secret to yourself (sorry, too late now).

The location is actually brilliant if you know Cannes at all. You’re tucked away on this quiet street that most tourists completely miss, but you’re literally a five-minute walk from the Palais des Festivals – you know, where all the film festival madness happens. What I loved most was how you could slip away from the crowds on La Croisette and be back in this peaceful residential pocket where actual locals live. The building itself is typical French apartment style, nothing fancy from the outside, but once you’re up on the first floor it feels like you’ve got your own little slice of the city. The pool – and yes, there really is one – is honestly the best part during those sweltering summer afternoons when the beach feels like too much effort.

Axelle, who manages the place, clearly knows what she’s doing. Check-in was smooth, none of that awkward waiting around wondering if you’re at the right door. The apartment itself has that lived-in comfort that’s way better than sterile hotel rooms – you’ve got a proper kitchen if you want to grab ingredients from the morning market (which, by the way, is just a pleasant stroll toward the old port), and the space actually feels like you could settle in for more than just a night or two. I mean, with an 8.3 rating, people obviously get it. The whole setup works especially well if you’re the type who wants to experience Cannes beyond just the tourist strip – you can walk to the beach when you want the scene, duck into the winding streets of Le Suquet for dinner, or just hang by the pool with a book when you need to recharge. Parking can be a bit tricky in this part of town (honestly, what did you expect in Cannes?), but there are options nearby if you’re driving. The place gets busy during festival season and peak summer, obviously, but that’s when having your own little retreat with a pool really pays off.

Early hotels booking in Cannes is essential during major events like the Film Festival, as accommodations fill up quickly with visitors eager to experience the city’s renowned glamorous atmosphere and luxury shopping.
