Résidence Californie Cannes

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first pulled up to Résidence Californie Cannes on Rue Baron, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place. But you know what? Sometimes the best finds are the ones that surprise you, and this little residence absolutely did that.

The location is actually pretty brilliant if you know Cannes at all. You’re up in La Californie, which means you’re away from the madness of the Croisette but still close enough to walk down when you want to. I mean, it’s maybe a 15-minute stroll to the beach, and honestly, that distance is a blessing during festival season when the main strips are absolutely packed. The neighborhood itself has this residential feel – you’ll see locals walking their dogs in the morning, and there’s this authentic French vibe that you just don’t get when you’re staying right in the tourist zone. Plus, parking is actually manageable up here, which… well, if you’ve ever tried to park near the Palais des Festivals, you know that’s worth its weight in gold.

What really got me about this place was how they’ve managed to punch above their weight class. The rooms aren’t huge – this is France, after all – but they’re thoughtfully laid out and surprisingly quiet for being in a city. I stayed during a busy week in September, and I could barely hear the street noise, which was such a relief after some of the paper-thin walls I’ve dealt with in other Cannes hotels. The staff actually remembers your name after a day or two, and they’ll give you proper directions to places, not just the tourist traps. There’s something to be said for staying somewhere that feels more like a well-run residence than a hotel factory. The breakfast setup is simple but done right – fresh bread from a local bakery, decent coffee, and they don’t try to oversell you on fancy additions. It’s the kind of place where you can actually have a conversation with other guests without feeling like you’re in some corporate hospitality theater. And here’s a detail that matters more than you’d think: the WiFi actually works consistently, even on the upper floors. Small thing, but when you’re trying to coordinate dinner plans or upload photos, it makes a real difference in your day.

  Well furnished. Well equipped. Well looked after and clean. Good location.
  
  What could be improved: Only 1 toilet roll for family for 2 nights. We ran out and had to purchase our own. Air con in living area would have been a bonus

  Très bon contact avec l'hôte Valentine, personne trés réactive lors d'une question
  Appartement spacieux, calme, avec décoration de très bon goût
  Il ne manquait rien, il est très bien équipé
  La piscine et le garage privé sont des plus très apréciable
  L'appartement est proche du centre, nous avons tout fait à pieds
  La personne Natacha qui nous a remis les clefs était très sympathique également
  Que du positif ! N'hésitez pas !!

• Andrea from Italy – 7 August 2024 (9/10)

  Ottima casa. Molto grande, spaziosa e pulita.
  Ampio soggiorno con divano e poltrona e cucina dotata di tutti i confort.
  Le camere da letto forse un po' piccole ma con il climatizzatore e il bagno (solo lavandino e doccia).
  
  Molto belli anche i due terrazzi. Comodissimo il garage e molto carina la piscina esterna.
  
  What could be improved: I cuscini erano troppo morbidi e bassi. Quasi inutili.
  Metterei il climatizzatore anche in salotto.

• Natascha from Switzerland – 31 July 2023 (9/10)

  Tolle Lage, grosse Räume, gute Ausstattung, bequeme Betten. Und dazu noch der Pool, den alle Appartementhausbewohner nutzen dürfen. Allerdings muss man hier (mit Kindern) sehr ruhig sein, um die anderen Bewohner des Hauses nicht zu stören. Supermarkt direkt um die Ecke, ebenso ein Bäcker und ein Pizza Take Away. Alles sehr praktisch.
  
  What could be improved: Nichts

• Mario from Italy – 5 June 2023 (9/10)

  alloggio molto bello ,pulito e in ottima posizione
  
  What could be improved: abbiamo prenotato questa struttura per la piscina in uso esclusivo come diceva l’annuncio….la piscina è in uso comune per il residence ma cosa più grave non era aperta…. non abbiamo potuto usufruirne!

• Amine from France – 30 May 2023 (8/10)

  Proche de tout et à deux pas de la Croisette et plages de Cannes Se rajoute au côté très confortable de l’appartementle le côté très serviable de l’hôte et de la propriétaire 👍j’ai à nouveau réservé une semaine dans ce même lieu car quand on y est bien on y reste et on revient. Merci pour votre accueil et votre patience à bientôt
