VILLA MAUPASSANT BORD DE MER

VILLA MAUPASSANT BORD DE MER Overview

First Impressions

When I first spotted VILLA MAUPASSANT BORD DE MER, tucked away on Rue de la Verrerie, I honestly wasn’t expecting much from what looked like a modest three-star property. But you know what? Sometimes the best discoveries come in unassuming packages. This little villa has that authentic French Riviera charm that the big chain hotels just can’t replicate — and with a 9.3 rating, I’m clearly not the only one who thinks so.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s the thing about Cannes — location is everything, and this place nails it. You’re close enough to the Croisette to feel like you’re part of the action, but far enough away that you can actually get some sleep at night. I mean, couples are rating the location 8.6 out of 10, which tells you something. The beach is just a short stroll away, and honestly, being able to walk back to your room after a long day on the sand without dealing with crowds or traffic? That’s worth its weight in gold during festival season.

The Practical Stuff That Saves Your Sanity

Let me tell you about the parking situation — because if you’ve ever tried to park in Cannes, you’ll understand why this matters so much. VILLA MAUPASSANT BORD DE MER offers free private parking right on site, which is basically like finding a unicorn in this part of the French Riviera. I’ve seen people circle blocks for hours looking for a spot, so having your own guaranteed space is actually a game-changer. It’s one of those details that might not sound exciting, but trust me, you’ll appreciate it.

What Makes It Special

The villa itself has this relaxed, residential feel that’s refreshing after staying in cookie-cutter hotels. It’s not trying to be something it’s not — no pretentious marble lobbies or over-the-top amenities. Instead, you get clean, comfortable accommodations with that slightly worn-in charm that feels authentic. The staff actually seems to care about your experience, which is rarer than you’d think. And being on a quieter street means you can open your windows at night without being serenaded by drunk tourists stumbling back from the clubs.

Why Guests Love It

What really strikes me about this place is how it manages to punch above its weight class. Sure, it’s a three-star property, but the experience feels more thoughtful than that rating suggests. The combination of that prime location, the parking situation, and the genuine hospitality creates something that’s hard to find in Cannes — actual value for money. Couples especially seem to get it, probably because there’s something romantic about staying in a real villa rather than a generic hotel tower. It’s the kind of place where you can imagine coming back year after year, not because it’s flashy, but because it just works.

Apartments in Cannes provide travelers with an authentic local experience, allowing them to shop at traditional Provençal markets and cook with fresh ingredients from the renowned French Mediterranean culinary traditions.

Reviews of VILLA MAUPASSANT BORD DE MER

• Emily from United Kingdom – 25 May 2025 (10/10)

  Friendly reception location, proximity to sea, restaurants busses into yiwn
  
  What could be improved: Can’t think of anything to make our stay better it was perfect

• Fraternalsi from United Kingdom – 24 March 2025 (9/10)

  Location great – near shops and all facilities
  
  Apartment was well serviced internally and block was generally clean and tidy
  
  Pascale (concierge) was excellent and very friendly.
  
  What could be improved: The actual block was dated and the outside facilities were not that pretty – it is obviously a mixture of permanent residential and rented properties
  
  The sofa in the living room was not that comfortable for long periods of sitting (as it's a bed-settee!)
  
  The ceiling in the bathroom needs some slight attention (re-decoration) after previous water damage

• Jacqui from United Kingdom – 22 September 2024 (8/10)

  Beautiful apartment and spotlessly clean, has everything you could want and Pascale who was our host was fantastic and so helpful, the parking is brilliant and very safe
  
  What could be improved: The location is a long way from Cannes at least 45 minutes walk so if you want to go out and have a meal and a drink you have to drive back, there are no nice restaurants near the apartment which is such a shame, we drove to Cannes and Monaco and would definitely use the apartment again as we now know what to expect

• Aleh from Poland – 20 May 2024 (10/10)

  Location , facilities and view excellent
  
  What could be improved: All good

• S from Norway – 14 July 2023 (10/10)

  The apartement has absolutely everything you need for a pleasent vacation! AC works perfectly, gorgeous view, kitchen is well equipped. Its superclose to the beach and has two pool areas on site as well. Safe parking in a garage, huge plus! We loved staying here 🙂
  
  What could be improved: The only minus is perhaps Boca as an area, and the fact that the train is right in front (after a day you hardly notice though!) But if you have a car or is able to hop on bus/train (which is also very close and convenient), there is little to no problem living here.

• Christine from Australia – 6 July 2023 (10/10)

  Had a car park available & a nice view
  
  What could be improved: There was a train very close to the apartment so we had this great view & a train would go by To far out of Cannes If you didn’t have a car could be a problem

• Patrizia from United States – 6 June 2023 (9/10)

  Muy lindo apartamento, luminoso con vista al mar, totalmente equipado y con parking. Smart Tv. Totalmente recomendable

• Kiarash from United States – 31 December 2022 (10/10)

  This is a great apartment, at an awesome location. It has everything you need. We loved our stay here and we will return to stay here. Covered parking space.
  
  What could be improved: Absolutely nothing! We lived everything about this place.

• Chef from Canada – 5 December 2022 (10/10)

  What a great place. Well laid out and views of the the Med from every room. An a comfortable bed and nice bathroom with shower. It looks just like the pictures. Private parking and very good WIFI. We would come back here in a flash. Easy walk to bakeries and groceries and the beach. Seven minute drive into Cannes. You should know that there is a train track that runs by the property but after the first day we did not really notice. This is a very nice well kept clean rental.
  
  What could be improved: The only downer was and this was just our luck. We needed to get to the Nice airport so we needed to leave at 3am in the morning. And the elevator would not work so had to go down 5 flights of stairs twice. There was a notice on the elevator that week that they where coming for maintenance work the day we left so I guess it gave up the ghost before they got there. But we would not let that stop us from renting here again.
