Villa Victoria, by Destination Cannes

Experience the uniqueness of a 19th century environment and discover 'Villa Victoria' - a very special Victorian manor house, built in 1849 by the renowned architect Thomas Smith. The house is a lovely example of when the Cannes area, benefitting from the influx of the English aristocracy, began the transformation from a simple fishing village to a world famous resort. It is a two rooms apartment with a window gallery and a balcony along the sides of the house. It combines traditional style with modern comforts and facilities with a fully equipped kitchen. In the bedroom you have two single beds that can be put together as a double bed. If you need additional bed space you have a sofa bed in the living room. The apartment is situated on the first floor (one stair up), without elevator. # Location # Villa Victoria is located in the western part of central Cannes, next to the old town of Le Suquet, just a short walk from all the amenities Cannes has to offer: Beach, Entertainment, Shopping and Restaurants. Just 180 meters to the well-kept municipal sandy beach Plage du Midi. There are also private beaches nearby where you can rent a sun bed with parasol. A series of bars, cafes and restaurants stretches from the beach to the Palais des Festivals with its famous red carpet and further to the Croisette. If you want to start the morning with hot freshly baked bread, fresh fruits and vegetables, quail eggs, cheeses and other delicacies - go to the Marché Forville, the central food market of Cannes, which is open every day except Mondays. You will reach it after a pleasant 10 minute morning walk. And on Mondays they have a flea market there where fans of antiquity can find many interesting things. The colorful floral market of Allees de la Liberte is located near the Marche Forville and offers freshly cut seasonal flowers. # Distances (by foot) # - Beach: 3 min - Palais des Festivals: 12 min - Train station and bus station for the airport coaches: 15 min - Restaurants: 5 min - Shops for essentials and grocery: 3 min # Parking # The excellent location saves you from having to use a car, all the delights of Cannes are nearby!
