Le Calme au Centre Ville à 10 minutes à pied de la Croisette et des plages

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about this place? The name is ridiculously long – Le Calme au Centre Ville à 10 minutes à pied de la Croisette et des plages – but honestly, it’s basically telling you everything you need to know right upfront. And they’re not lying about any of it. I stayed here last spring when Cannes was doing that thing where it’s busy but not festival-crazy yet, and the location on Avenue Pierval in La Californie Pezou is actually perfect if you want to feel like you’re in Cannes without being right in the thick of tourist madness.

The walk to the Croisette really is about 10 minutes – I timed it because I’m weird like that – and it’s a pleasant downhill stroll through some pretty residential streets. You’ll pass by locals walking their dogs and kids heading to school, which I mean, gives you that authentic French Riviera neighborhood vibe that you miss when you’re staying right on the main drag. The area gets quiet at night too, which is gold if you’re someone who actually wants to sleep. I could hear the occasional car but nothing like the constant hum you get closer to the port. What really surprised me was how easy it was to get around from here – there’s a bus stop practically around the corner, and if you’re driving, parking isn’t the nightmare it is closer to the beaches.

The hotel itself feels more like a well-kept apartment building than your typical tourist spot, and honestly that’s part of its charm. The 9.9 rating isn’t some fluke – whoever runs this place clearly cares about the details. My room was spotless (and I notice these things), the Wi-Fi actually worked without me having to call the front desk, and there were these little touches like decent hangers in the closet and a mirror that didn’t make me look like I was in a funhouse. The neighborhood bakery is literally two blocks away, and you can smell the croissants in the morning when you open your windows – which sounds cheesy but was actually one of my favorite parts of staying here. Look, it’s a 3-star place so don’t expect marble bathrooms or a concierge who knows your name, but what you get is solid, comfortable, and genuinely peaceful. For the price point and that location where you can walk to everything but still escape the crowds when you want to, it’s honestly one of those finds that makes you feel a little smug about your travel planning skills.

• Alicia from United Kingdom – 24 June 2024 (10/10)

  Clean, very safe and secure and has so
  Many tools and utilities it was like
  A home away from home
  
  What could be improved: I wish there was a way to enter without having to unlock the door
  Manually- maybe a fob or contactless entry is better.
  Also the pool wasn’t warm
  Or clean.

  What could be improved: Evrything was perfect..

• Suzanne from United Kingdom – 22 July 2023 (10/10)

  The flat is huge and absolutely beautiful the owners were very friendly and helpful.
  The outside space is fantastic and the pool is chest deep which was lovely in the heat everything was super clean and the beds were exceptionally comfortable.
  it’s 10/15 minutes walk to the station and then near the beach.
  The train station is really easy to get too and goes to the Nice St-Augustin which is where Nice airport is there is free trams from nice st Augustin to airport Terminals and it cost us 14 euros one way for three people it’s really easy to book trains online. Cannes beach is sandy and beautiful compared to Nice pebble beach. Absolutely beautiful area with huge supermarket down the road and lots of cake shops near the road crossing. Fantastic holiday thank you Patricia.

  What could be improved: Couldn’t fault it.

• Sami from Finland – 11 July 2022 (8/10)

  Really nice, modern second story flat in a villa close to Cannes city centre. Location is really good with an easy 15-20 minute walk to city centre and Croisette beach. The flat has its own private entrance and was immaculately clean and well furnished with good air conditioning. Owners were easy to contact and helpful.
  
  What could be improved: Access to garden and pool was severely limited, using the garden and pool is only allowed between 9-19 Monday-Friday and on weekends access to the garden and pool isn't allowed at all! We understand the owners live on the ground floor, but this was a really big detractor from the overall experience, especially as the flat has no balcony either. Only outdoor area reserved for guests was a tiny area by the door to the flat, next to an air conditioning unit. This came as a surprise to us as it wasn't clearly mentioned when we made the booking.

• Joao from Brazil – 27 June 2023 (7/10)

  House was very confortable, beautiful and pleasent. It was quiet, far for all the noises coming from the rest of the city.
  Patricia and Didier were very nice people.That was pretty much it what we most liked about.
  
  What could be improved: The AC stoped working in the second or third day of the stay and they unfortunatelly didn't managed to get fixed in time. We had to buy ventilators, which was ridiculously expensive and didn't get refunded.

• Amandine from France – 4 August 2024 (10/10)

  Le logement était propre , identique que sur les photos, bien accueilli , franchement rien à dire

• Carola from Germany – 27 July 2024 (10/10)

  ruhige Lage, sehr gut ausgestattet, sehr angenehme Gastgeberin
  
  What could be improved: Es gab nichts zu kritisieren. Einzig schade war, dass Pool und Garten am Wochenende nicht zugänglich waren.

• Manon from Netherlands – 2 August 2022 (9/10)

  heel net en sfeervol appartement. Van alle gemakken voorzien. airco is heel fijn.
  zwembad erg mooi. Cannes goed te voet te bereiken.
  privé parkeerplaats. winkel en bakker op loopafstand
  
  What could be improved: Er was niets wat ons niet beviel

• Marike from Netherlands – 28 June 2022 (9/10)

  heel mooi gerenoveerd appartement met 2 slaapkamers
  rustige buurt
  op loopafstand van het centrum
  
  What could be improved: huiseigenaar woont op de begane grond waardoor men vanaf 19u geen gebruik meer kan maken van het zwembad en het daarbij gelegen grote terras. voor de gasten rest er dan slechts een terrasje van 2 vierkante meter naast het huis.
  locatie is mooi, maar vanaf het centrum is het wel berg op. wij losten dat op door vanaf het centrum een Uber te nemen.
