Luxury Apartment – 150m to Palais des Festivals ( Cannes )

Hotel Description

Look, I’ve stayed in a lot of places around Cannes over the years, and this little gem on Rue Buttura honestly surprised me. You know what I mean when you walk into a place and immediately think “okay, someone actually cares about this property”? That’s exactly what happened here. The apartment feels like it belongs to someone who has good taste but isn’t showing off about it – everything’s thoughtfully chosen without being precious about it.

The location is actually perfect if you know Cannes at all. Rue Buttura is this quiet residential street that most tourists never find, but here’s the thing – you’re literally two minutes from all the Palais des Festivals chaos when you want it, and you can escape back to actual peace when you don’t. I mean, during the film festival this kind of positioning is gold because you can walk to the red carpet stuff but you’re not dealing with the crowds camping outside your door at midnight. The street itself has that typical Cannes residential vibe – you’ll hear the occasional scooter puttering by in the morning and maybe some French conversations drifting from balconies, but it’s honestly pretty serene most of the time.

What really got me was the attention to small details that actually matter when you’re traveling. The shower pressure is excellent (and if you’ve stayed in enough European apartments, you know this isn’t guaranteed), the kitchen is set up like someone who actually cooks uses it – not just some random appliances thrown together for show. There’s proper counter space, decent knife, coffee situation that doesn’t make you want to cry. The bed is comfortable in that way where you don’t spend the first night adjusting to weird firmness levels. And honestly, the whole place just feels clean and well-maintained without that sterile hotel vibe. You can tell they’re regularly updating things – the bathroom fixtures look recent, the paint isn’t chipped, that sort of thing. The only minor thing I’d mention is that like most buildings in this part of Cannes, you’ll hear a bit of street noise if you’re a super light sleeper, but honestly it’s just normal city sounds, nothing crazy. The 9.8 rating makes complete sense to me – it’s that rare combination of great location, solid comfort, and reasonable expectations that actually delivers what it promises.

Reviews

• Cozy and clean apartment, definitely would consider again for next strips. – Renata from Mexico – 6 October 2024 (9/10)

  Small but fully renovated and well located apartment. The host was very attentive and even let me a welcome kit of food and drinks on the fridge. Very thoughtful of her to have different cables to charge all of my devices.
  
  What could be improved: The elevator was not working well the day I left. So I had to take the stairs with my luggage.

• Top notch!🥰 – Kairi from Estonia – 3 June 2024 (10/10)

  We really loved everything about that place, very clean, nice bedding, the location was 11/10. Top notch iron, hairdryer(100%) and so on… something small in the fridge to eat and drink, some fruits on the table as you’ll arrive… and as our flight was early in the morning we didn’t know if the morning check in is possible.. but it all went really well:) we enjoyed the stay like 100% and we’ll be back!

• Adorable modern apartment and incredible staff – Jennifer from United States – 22 January 2024 (10/10)

  A perfect location, minutes from everything but peaceful and quiet at night. Thoughtful and beautiful decor, very modern kitchen and bath. The best part was the owner and her team – the true test of service is when something goes wrong. Due to a problem with another apartment in the building being renovated the hot water in the bathroom would not work. Catherine, Marine, and their plumber responded immediately on a Sunday and made my comfort their first priority. It was fixed right away and their follow up was exceptional.
  
  What could be improved: Loved everything

• I enjoyed every bit of this place’ high recommend!! – Oi from Hong Kong – 23 May 2023 (10/10)

  Everything was perfect and it was definitely beyond my expectations! It was so clean and the renovation is new! The owner definitely has her unique taste and I enjoyed every bit of it! I had a super wonderful week in this apartment and also it is right next to palais! I came here for work during Cannes Film Festival and it made my life much easier as everything is super accessible! I highly highly recommend this place to everyone!
  
  What could be improved: I don’t think anything needs to be improved! Maybe the price could be cheaper 🙂

• Exceptional – Roger from Singapore – 29 September 2022 (10/10)

  Great little apartment, excellent location, 3 minutes walk from train station, clean, fully equipped, very nice and helpful owner.

• very nice stay – Marina from Argentina – 9 September 2022 (9/10)

  the location is wonderful
  the place is very clean and nicely decorated
  
  What could be improved: the sofa bed instead of a regular double bed
  I thought it was a one bed room apartment and not a studio

• Perfect holidays in a perfect apartment. – Irina from Romania – 17 August 2022 (10/10)

  Lovely studio apartment with modern furniture and equipped with everything what is needed. Close to the train station, shops, beach. This apartment can be considered also for a business travel as there is also a good WiFi. Catherine is a lovely host, easygoing, helpful, she gave me good advices about nice restaurants and nice places in Cannes. Definitely will consider for rebooking this apartment again and would definitely recommend it.

• Excellent stay in a lovely apartment well positioned for all the main attractions and restaurants – Derek from United Kingdom – 26 August 2022 (9/10)

  The apartment is very modern and has excellent equipment within. The location is very central with quick access to the main attractions, beaches, restaurants and the transport network. There is also a lift within the block which helps with luggage. Our host was also excellent to deal with and made everything clear on what do when we arrived. Any request we had was not an issue.
  
  What could be improved: The only minor issue is that the bed is a sofa bed although it was very comfortable and served the purpose for our short stay.

• Modern, clean and everything available! – Chris from United Kingdom – 1 November 2023 (8/10)
