Discover the unmissable areas for holiday rentals in Cannes

Cannes, famous for its film festival, attracts visitors from all over the world every year. If you're considering a holiday rental in this iconic Côte d'Azur town, it's essential to choose the area that best suits your needs.

When it comes to luxury real estate, villas dominate the market, with strong demand for properties offering 5 bedrooms, a swimming pool, and stunning sea views.

Seaside: immerse yourself in coastal effervescence

If your heart leans more towards the pleasures of the coast, then Cannes (Californie and Croix des Gardes), and Cap d'Antibes offer properties that will plunge you into the heart of coastal effervescence. You'll be just steps away from sandy beaches, trendy restaurants and water sports.

These areas offer an authentic Mediterranean living experience, with panoramic sea views and easy access to local entertainment. However, it's important to note that proximity to the sea is reflected in prices, with seasonal rental prices 15-20% higher than those in the hinterland.

The Cannes lifestyle : luxury and glamour by the sea

Cannes is the epitome of Mediterranean elegance, with its designer boutiques, Michelin-starred restaurants and private beaches. Opting for a holiday rental by the sea in Cannes, particularly in the districts of Mandelieu, Cannes (Croisette, Californie and Croix des Gardes), and Cap d'Antibes, means plunging into a world of luxury and glamour.

Days can start with sunbathing on the fine sandy beaches, followed by lunch in one of the trendy seaside restaurants. Evenings can be filled with casino nights, cocktails on terraces overlooking the sea, and total immersion in the nightlife of the Croisette. This festive and sophisticated lifestyle makes Cannes an ideal choice for those seeking a refined Mediterranean experience.

Cannes offers a variety of activities to enrich your stay. Lovers of the sea can indulge in exciting water sports, explore the Lérins Islands, or simply relax under the Mediterranean sun. Art and culture lovers will find plenty to do in the local museums, galleries, and festivals.

The hinterland: a refuge of Provençal charm

Lovers of tranquillity, space, and Provençal charm will find their happiness in Cannes' hinterland. Villages such as Saint Paul de Vence, Valbonne, Châteauneuf de Grasse, Opio, and Mougins offer spacious properties with peaceful surroundings. These areas are ideal for those looking for an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. You can enjoy an exceptional natural setting while remaining within easy reach of Cannes' beaches.

The advantages of choosing a holiday rental in the hinterland include more affordable rates compared with seaside properties. You'll also benefit from an authentic environment and increased privacy, while remaining close to renowned tourist sites.

The hinterland of Cannes : authenticity and Provençal quietude

Picturesque villages such as Saint-Paul-de-Vence, Valbonne, Châteauneuf-de-Grasse, Opio, and Mougins offer a serene, unspoilt atmosphere. Choosing a holiday rental in these inland areas means embracing the charm of Provence, with its cobbled streets, local markets and historic homes.

Life in the Cannes hinterland is marked by a pleasant tranquillity, perfect for a rejuvenating holiday. Activities can include walks through the vineyards, visits to local art galleries, and sampling regional produce on the terraces of small cafés. It's a chance to discover the cultural and natural riches of Provence, away from the hustle and bustle of the beaches.

For those who prefer the hinterland, excursions to the Gorges du Loup, hikes in the Provençal hills and visits to vineyards offer a captivating alternative. The contrast between these two worlds means that you can tailor your stay to suit your interests, whether you're looking for vibrant moments by the sea or peaceful escapades in the hinterland.

Tailor the budget to your preferences

Ultimately, the choice between the hinterland and the seaside depends on your personal preferences and your budget. If you're looking for the tranquillity and authenticity of Provence, the hinterland is the best option. For those who prefer coastal excitement and are prepared to invest a little more, the seaside districts offer an unrivalled luxury experience.

Cannes offers a variety of neighbourhoods to suit different holiday rental requirements. Take the time to define your priorities and explore the unique charms of each area for an unforgettable Côte d'Azur experience.
