Holiday rental in Cannes with sea view and pool

An apartment for four, a balcony facing the bay, and a residence where a whole day can pass without touching the car.

Blue View Cannes is a 40 m² one-bedroom apartment offered as a holiday rental in Cannes. It sleeps 4 guests, has a sea view balcony and is located in the Villa Francia residence, which has a swimming pool and a 5-hectare park.

A good holiday in Cannes usually comes down to very practical details: having shade at three in the afternoon, being able to cook a meal without going out, knowing where to leave the car, and having somewhere the children can run.

That is exactly what this address allows. The apartment gives you a proper bedroom, a full kitchen and air conditioning. The residence adds the pool, the park, the tennis courts and the parking. Between the two, there are only a few shaded pathways to walk.

This stay will suit you if…

  • You are travelling as two, three or four (one bedroom + a sofa bed)
  • You want a pool on site, as well as the beaches — a 7-minute walk away
  • You prefer a whole apartment to a hotel room
  • You are arriving by car and need secure parking
  • You like eating outdoors rather than going out every evening
A typical day

What a holiday at Villa Francia looks like

In the morning, breakfast is taken on the balcony: the light comes in off the sea and the pool is still empty. It is often the quietest moment of the day.

The middle of the day is spent at the pool or on the solarium, in the shade of a parasol. The more energetic walk down to hit a few balls on the tennis courts or start a game of petanque in the grounds.

The afternoon belongs to Cannes: the beaches — seven minutes on foot — the Croisette, the Forville market, Le Suquet old town, or a boat crossing to the Lerins Islands. Then you come back up, cook, and the evening ends outside as the bay lights up.

With children, the playground and the fenced sports court in the grounds genuinely matter: they let you abandon the programme when the day has been long.

The pool

A pool open from April to November

This is the asset that makes the difference on a holiday, especially with a family: a large shared pool facing the sea, a few minutes' walk from the apartment.
