Cannes Villa Rentals in France
Cannes is a working city as well as a resort, which surprises people. Yes, there's the Croisette, the long seafront promenade with its palms and sand, and the Palais des Festivals where the film festival happens each May. But walk up the hill behind the old port to Le Suquet, the old town, and it's narrow lanes and views over the bay. Offshore lie the Lérins islands. Our villa has eight bedrooms and sleeps up to 16.

Distances are straight lines on the map; the drive through the mountains is longer.
When to go
The south has its moment from June to September. July and August are the hottest and busiest; June and September bring the same warm sea with fewer people.
Before you go
What guests ask us most before a stay in Cannes.
Is Cannes very crowded during the film festival?
Yes. For about twelve days in May the town fills with press, studios and fans, the Croisette is partly closed off and the roads are slow. Some people come for the buzz. If you'd rather avoid it, check the dates first. The 2027 festival is expected in mid-May. September has a big yachting show too, and the town fills up again.
How far is Cannes from Nice airport?
On a clear road, around 30 minutes by car. On a summer weekend, or during a big event, it can take twice that. There's also the coast train from Nice, and Cannes station is right in the centre. With a week's luggage, though, we'd say take the car.
How do we get to the Lérins islands?
By ferry from the old port of Cannes. Boats run to Sainte-Marguerite, the larger island, with pine woods and a fort, in around 15 minutes, and to Saint-Honorat, where monks still live and make wine, in around 20. Go for the day with a picnic. The water off the rocks is very clear.
