“What a location”

I attended a conference in Cannes this December, what a fabulous location!, it was lovely to wonder down the promenade during the day, at night the town looks amazing with its Christmas decorations. The harbour is something else! What an array of superb yachts. The town is great to wonder around too, some great fashion shops as you would expect from Cannes. Can’t wait to return in the summer

“solarium with a sea view”

Well decorated room, pretty exteriors but a swimming pool too cool to swim in, a nice spa but too little availability for a massage, we found that the photos on the site were much more beautiful than the reality but we will come back in the summer to take better advantage of this villa, the manager… more

“Think twice - especially out of season”

The room was a good size, large, light and airy, tastefully done. Good views over Cannes. Quiet and calm. Breakfast was eggs and bacon anyway we wanted them, fruit, drinks, juices and a choice of bakery products either in the room or in the breakfast area.

The room was a good size, large, light and airy, tastefully done. Good views over Cannes. Quiet and calm. Breakfast was eggs and bacon anyway we wanted them, fruit, drinks, juices and a choice of bakery products either in the room or in the breakfast area. Although we had breakfast around nine, I liked it that if you wanted breakfast in your room you could have it anytime apparently. We were disappointed in relation to price and what we expected from the photos and descriptions. My husband and I, after working incredibly hard and being exhausted, wanted a 3-day getaway. We dropped the kids off and headed to what we thought would be a luxury B&B with spa, hot tub, pool in the countryside surrounded by the 'tropical gardens'. We just wanted to relax. The 'villa' is in fact in a residential area above Cannes - hence good views - but when we got there, we were told that the spa, jacuzzi, hot-tub had to be reserved in advance and was extra, 69E00 for a couple with champagne or 50E00 - per hour! It was too cold to use the pool (late Feb) so we ended up doing the 30-minute walk to Cannes every day downhill and then taking Über's back. So, in the end, it would have been cheaper and easier to have stayed in Cannes. For a boutique hotel, there wasn't much generosity - nothing was offered - a small bottle of water 3,50 euros, there was a kettle but no coffee or snacks in the room, only one little bottle of shower gel and shampoo (for a couple?), frayed dressing gown (where I found a tab of pills in the pocket!). Cannes is great, but shopping and restaurants wasn't really what we'd wanted and so for 250 euros a night, the trip ended up really expensive and disappointing.
