This villa was everything the pictures and description promised it would be. The stars of this rental are definitely outside - the view of the Mediterranean, the patio with an outdoor dining set and lounge chairs, the beautiful palm trees and flowering plants, and the private swimming pool with more lounge chairs and a covered seating area, of course!! This setting made for a perfect, relaxing vacation for our family of five.
There were five spacious bedrooms with ample storage. (We didn't use the 5th bedroom with the bunk beds as our three children were all too big for those.) The kitchen has all appliances, cookware, utensils, etc. that you could want, and there was a fully-stocked supermarket about 10 minutes drive from the villa. The main room had plenty of comfortable seating, a fireplace, a large dining table for 8+, a large TV we used to watch a few Euro Cup matches, and gorgeous chandeliers. The entire villa had marble floors and an elegant white, black and gray motif throughout. There were other residents on the second and third floors of the building, but there were no problems with noise and we had the private use of the outdoor space.
We had a rental car for sightseeing purposes. But, if you plan to stay in Cannes, you really can walk just about anywhere you might want to go - nearby glacerie (ice cream shop), Rue de Antibes (main shopping street), Croisette, beach, watersports, Festival Pavilion, and several restaurant and café options.
Monica (the owner) and Katherine (the local contact) made sure we had everything we needed and were available to answer questions before and during our visit. I would recommend this fabulous villa to any family or group that wants to enjoy a relaxing holiday on the French Riviera!
