Location:

Located at the seaside and near the market place, Cannes-le-Village, this building ist constructed in accordance with the traditional palace style of the grand hotels of Cannes.

Your residence:

The residence faces the sea, just apx. 50 metres to an excellent sand beach but you have to walk out through the east main entrance and under a road tunnel towards south so the practical walking distance is apx. 200 metres.

The apartment:

There are 5 apartments for rent:

Apt. 610 at 6th floor:
A 2 room apartment for 4 persons, 30 m2 plus balcony 8m2. It is cleverly utilized and serves the purpose well. A wonderful balcony with a splendid view to the sea, the beach, the coast towards west, the Esterel mountains, the swimming pool and the palm tree garden.

Apt. 702 at 7th floor:
Identical with 610 except that the balcony is facing straight south which offers total privacy and a splendid panoramic view from east to west over the Cannes Bay and partly the swimming pool. The balcony fence is solid but one can still watch the sea and mountains whilst sitting down. On the plus side is a great view on some hills in the back land from the bed room window, superior to the view from the bed rooms of the other apartments. Furthermore the bed room is a bit larger. Some prefer this apartment since there is less disturbance from the pool area.

You may modify the combination during your stay but upon your departure you should restore the combination to the one it had upon your arrival.

It is recommended to close the glass door to the balcony when you leave the apartment to prevent the theoretical risk of theft. Also always close and lock the window in the bedroom and use the curtains and don't leave valuables in sight since it has happened in some apartments in same building that a thief managed to get a telescope rod through the metal grid fence in front of the window and emptied a bag that was left visible on the bed.

Our apartments have been upgraded with a modern electricity cut-out in case of short circuit.

Complaints: In case of any reason for a justified complaint such must be notified to the Owner or the cleaning lady immediately upon arrival or the moment that such a reason should be experienced in case you expect this to justify a theoretical financial compensation. Not afterwards.

Please observe:

1) A railway line runs between the residence and the sea.

2) Smoking not allowed in the apartment but you can smoke on the balcony.

3) We regret that we cannot prevent dogs in the area since pets are allowed by some of the other apartment owners.

4) The freezer in the refrigerator is a "conservator" and it may develop a block of ice if the thermostat is not kept at 4. It is not suitable for long term freezing purposes.

5) Some clients find childrens' noise while playing in the pool during high season disturbing.

6) The sun bed area around the pool is closed during the period where the pool is closed. This is a new regulation due to a new French safety law of protecting children from falling into the pool. So the whole pool perimeter including sun bed area has been closed behind a transparent fence.

7) For sensitive guests it should be mentioned that elevators - when in use - can be heard from the bedroom in apts. 610 and 608 if you are sleeping with open windows.
