This second-floor apartment is all about the location for us. Stripped back yet with everything needed for a relaxing coastal stay, the only thing missing here is an oven – but there’s a whole host of local restaurants for an authentic taste of Cannes. Step out onto the balcony, though, and you’ll see why this studio caught our eye. With views across the Promenade de la Croisette to the Mediterranean Sea beyond, it’s the perfect place to relax with a chilled wine after a day exploring all this magical city has to offer.

Home truths:
*Given the home's location, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. *Single beds are pushed together here to form a king-size bed. *You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals. *This home is located within an apartment building, with a shared entrance. Expect to bump into other guests during your stay.
