Our family of 5 rented this apartment for 2 weeks in July 2015. Positioned in the historic old part of Cannes, the location is fabulous. It is a 2 minute walk to a series of beautiful public and private sandy beaches. There are multiple restaurants nearby, a boulangerie for your morning croissants just across the road from the back entrance to the apartment and a small supermarket very close by.
Cannes' famous Le Forville market (fruit, veg, fish, cheese, flowers, bric-à-brac etc) is only a 5 to 10 minute walk downhill through the historic streets, which was perfect for stocking up on good local food to cook at home or take on picnics.
The apartment itself is very clean, comfortable, air conditioned and was well furnished with everything we needed. We loved the balcony, which has uninterrupted stunning views to the harbour, old town and out to sea. There is plenty of room to relax on the balcony reading a book or just to sit and watch the world go by.
Apart from the beach and the shops, there is plenty to do in the area. On this trip we decided not to hire a car, but instead used the network of trains, buses and ferries to travel along the coast and inland to Monte Carlo (to visit the excellent aquarium and look at cool cars!), Grasse (to do a 2 hour perfume making workshop), St Paul de Vence, Nice, Renoir's house in Cagnes sur Mer, etc. The ferry port for day trips to St Tropez and the nearby islands and Cannes' main bus station are both within a 5 minute walk from the apartment and the train station is less than a 15 minutes away on foot.
Our whole family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Cannes. We would definitely recommend this apartment and hope to return to it in the future.
