Solezia appartement, piscine et vue mer, by Welcome to Cannes

Hotel Description

Honestly, when I first pulled up to 45 Boulevard Leader, I wasn’t expecting much – I mean, it’s sort of tucked away from the main Croisette action, which actually turned out to be perfect. The Solezia appartement sits in this quieter stretch where you can still hear the Mediterranean lapping against the rocks below, but you’re not dealing with the constant parade of supercars and street performers that make the famous waterfront feel like a circus sometimes.

What really got me was stepping onto that terrace for the first time. You know how most “sea view” places show you a sliver of blue between buildings? Not here. The view stretches across the Baie de Cannes toward the Îles de Lérins, and honestly, I spent way too much time just watching the ferries chug back and forth to Sainte-Marguerite. The pool – which isn’t huge but perfectly adequate for cooling off after a day exploring – sits right there with the same panoramic backdrop. I found myself swimming laps at sunset more nights than I care to admit, watching the light bounce off the water while the bells from Notre-Dame d’Espérance chimed in the distance.

The apartment itself feels properly lived-in rather than sterile hotel-clean, if that makes sense. The kitchen actually has decent knives and real olive oil (not those tiny packets), which matters when you’ve hauled fresh tomatoes and burrata back from Marché Forville. Speaking of which – the walk to the old market takes maybe fifteen minutes through some lovely residential streets where you’ll pass locals walking their dogs and chatting over garden gates. It’s that authentic Cannes neighborhood vibe that tourists rarely see. Parking can be a bit tricky during the busy summer months – there’s street parking but you might find yourself circling the block a few times when the film festival crowd descends. The Welcome to Cannes team was pretty helpful about suggesting alternative spots though, and check-in was refreshingly straightforward without the usual hotel desk drama. I mean, with a 9.2 rating, they’re clearly doing something right, and after spending a week there I totally get why people keep coming back to this particular slice of the Côte d’Azur.

Reviews

• Hannah from United Kingdom – 29 August 2023 (10/10)

  The apartment was fantastic, clean, well equipped & the view was simply breathtaking. The best thing to wake up to apart from the glorious sunshine.
  
  What could be improved: We found it difficult to locate key information such as where to put the rubbish & any information on fire escapes/routes etc. We were unaware of the timings for the pool until a kind & patient resident pointed it out for us. Other than that we had everything we needed.

• Hannah from United Kingdom – 24 June 2023 (9/10)

  Really clean, bright and spacious. All amenities provided. Stunning views and friendly
  and helpful staff
  
  What could be improved: Sound proofing could have been better as you could hear a lot of noise from other apartments especially people walking above and there was construction work in the building which started early in the morning. Very difficult to have a lie in past 7.30am and sleep wasn’t always the easiest with the noise

• Jin from Switzerland – 26 December 2022 (10/10)

  spacious and modern apartment with all the necessities necessary. The host is a superhost and provide all the detailed guidance in check in/parking/etc. The apartment has a wonderful sea view and lovely sunshine during the day, and it's located really close to everything.

• Johan from Sweden – 22 July 2022 (10/10)

  Nice location, quite and close to the Beach

• Wvvianen from Netherlands – 31 July 2023 (10/10)

  Uitzonderlijk groot, schoon, luxe en goed uitgerust appartement in mooi complex in de heuvels van Cannes met gedeeld zwembad en uitzicht op zee. Appartement is ongeveer 10 minuten lopen van het strand. Winkels en het centrum van Cannes zijn iets verder weg. Appartement is groter en beter ingericht dan we op basis van de foto's hadden verwacht.
