Croisette Afternoon

Part of a grand villa less than 100m from the sea, this apartment puts one of the French Riviera's most glamorous stretches of coastline right on your doorstep. The light-filled living room opens onto a private terrace, and there's a communal pool screened by tall trees for when the afternoon heat peaks. The main bedroom makes a real impression – palm-print wallpaper and garden light filtering in give it a warmth that's hard to shake. The Boulevard de la Croisette and the Palais des Festivals are a fifteen-minute walk away.

Home truths:
* At full occupancy, one guest will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
* If you're travelling with a baby, your host can provide a cot. Request it in advance to make sure it's ready for your arrival.
* You'll have access to the on-site swimming pool and roof terrace here. They're shared with the building's other residents.
* The swimming pool is only available for use between April and September. The pool is unsupervised, so you'll be responsible for your own safety while using it.
* The Boulevard de la Croisette is about a fifteen-minute walk away. If you're visiting specifically for the Film Festival or want to be right in the heart of Cannes, bear in mind you're a little further out than the most central addresses.
* Parking is available here.
* While the home can sleep up to six people, the maximum occupancy is five guests.
