Property Description
This spacious top floor, two bedroom apartment is located within a modern residence in the centre of the seafront village of La Napoule, very close to Cannes. On the 3rd floor (with lift), it has lovely views over the surrounding hills and mountains and is in walking distance of all shops, restaurants, beaches and train (and very nice ice-cream shop too)!
Offering approximately 100 sq metres of living space (80 inside and 20 in sunroom) it comprises a long hallway, vaulted-ceiling living room, American-style kitchen, roof top sunroom, two double bedrooms, two shower rooms and extensive terraces on all three sides. To keep it cool in summer, all rooms have reversible air-conditioning units, electric sun blinds & window shutters.
The secure residence is in a convenient location, right in the village centre and within walking distance of the many facilities. For golfers there are two excellent courses (and driving range) very nearby, and its position on the edge of the ‘Massif Esterel’ (coastal mountains) also make it ideal for those who enjoy hiking, cycling and horse riding.
The apartment has a maximum occupancy of 4 people (plus babies) and would be perfect for a small family, group of friends or couples. The owner prefers not to accept children less than 4 years old.

About the local area
Local shops, boulangeries and restaurants can be found just outside the apartment in the village of La Napoule, plus a huge supermarket / shopping mall offering just about everything just 1km away. There's also a good selection of restaurants to choose from around the Port of La Napoule (including the exclusive Oasis) and in the surrounding coastal towns of Cannes and Theoule-sur-Mer.
Local markets are held in nearby Mandelieu and La Napoule and in Cannes you'll also find a huge covered daily market which offers an array of fish, vegetables and fresh local produce.
Sporting activities in the area are abundant – the main activity here is golf as there is both a 9 and 18 hole golf course (visitors welcome); there’s also a tennis club within walking distance, plus you have all the aquatic sports like sailing, diving, fishing, jet skis and water sports nearby. You are also in very close proximity to the mountains and hills of the Alpes Maritimes region here, which makes walking, cycling and horse riding very popular.
Beaches are sandy and can be found just 200 metres away at the Plage du Chateau and Plage de La Raguette; you'll also find a long stretch of superb sandy beaches running right around the bay from La Napoule as far as Cannes. The beaches at the seafront village of Theoule-sur-Mer are sandy and beautifully kept, and offer great views across the bay to Cannes. Further round are the red rock inlets of Les Calanques which are quiet nature and marine reserves.
The ski stations of Greoliere, Valberg, Isola 2000 and Auron are between 1 and 2 hour’s drive away if you fancy a couple of days winter sports!
Getting around is very easy from here. You have the bus and train services which have a great network along the coast and further inland - the nearest bus stop is 100 metres away and the train station directly outside, where you can take inexpensive trains either in the direction of Nice and airport (St Augustin) or the other way to St Raphael. A car is really not necessary here.
Sightseeing is endless; you have the famous town of Cannes and its old town ‘Le Suquet’; the Port of Cannes; the designer shops in Cannes on the ‘Croisette’; boat trips from Port La Napoule to the nearby ‘Isles de Lerins’ (St.Margauret et St.Honore); the charming hilltop village of Mougins; a trip into the Esterel hills; the amazing Gorge de Verdon and lots lots more.
Other entertainment includes shopping, the casinos & nightlife of Cannes, cinemas, festivals, wine tasting, helicopter rides, or just good old relaxing on the beach!
REVIEWS
We would just like to thank you for how you have dealt with our holiday booking. From start to finish the personal touch has been great. Thank you also for checking on the Monday after we arrived to make sure that everything was ok. We loved the apartment, the pictures didn't do it justice, although a couple of quirky bits about it. The garden was lovely, my husband watered the tomato plants and we had fresh ones once they had ripened. We would like to book for 2024, the dates we would like...Mrs V. from Kent, July 23.
The location and large terrace were the best features, very well appointed - Mrs M. from Surrey, Sept 19 (2nd visit).
