Why Rent a Villa in Cannes?
A villa around Cannes gives you the glamour with a pool and a view of the bay. Our holiday villas in Cannes range from properties near the Croisette to hillside homes in Le Cannet and Mougins with infinity pools and sea views. Most have a private pool, air conditioning and outdoor dining, and the area is well placed for the whole western Riviera, with Nice airport about 40 minutes away.
Beaches, Islands and the Hills
Cannes has proper sandy beaches, unusual on this coast, along the Croisette and towards Mandelieu. Offshore, the Lerins islands make a lovely day out. Behind the town, Mougins is a gourmet hilltop village and Grasse, the perfume capital, is a short drive inland. Antibes and Nice are easy to reach along the coast.
Planning Your Cannes Villa Holiday
Cannes is busy during the festivals in May and peak summer, when Croisette-side and sea-view villas book earliest. Tell us whether you want the beach or the hills, and our team will create a shortlist for you.
