Perfect for a holiday, the Cannes Film Festival, or other Congresses, the villa is located at the top of Cannes's well-known Boulevard Carnot that connects it in a straight line to the Croisette and Palais des Festivals.
A taxi rank is to be found right at the foot of the villa: taxis take you to the Palais in less than 10 minutes.
The Palais can also be reached by direct bus N°1 in less than twenty minutes for just over 1€.

The Cannes Film Festival is coming! Have you booked your vacation rental yet?
Every May, the city of Cannes, on the French Riviera, plays host to one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious film festivals, which makes it the perfect time to visit and stay in your own vacation rental from New York Habitat. For over sixty years, actors, directors, and other film professionals from around the world have descended on the town for two weeks of films and ‘fêtes’, while wondering which film will win the ‘Palme d’Or’.This is your chance to vacation among the Hollywood elite.
Cannes itself is an ideal location for the festival. In May, the weather is sure to be warm, with the sun glistening off the blue Mediterranean Sea. If you can’t get into a film showing, a day on the beach will not disappoint.
This year, the festival will run from May 14th until the 25th. Over the years, approximately forty percent of attendees have been newcomers, so if you’ve never been but always wanted to go, now is the time!


Lovely red-tiled XVIIth century villa Le Cros is for the real lover of Provence. The descendant of the family, while still preserving its original soul, has just entirely refurbished it and redesigned its Provencal suspended garden of olive-orange-and jasmine-trees.

The villa laid out over three levels has sea-views from the two bedrooms and is definitely a much more pleasant experience than staying at a hotel in the Cannes crowd.

There are two bedrooms, each with two single beds that can be turned into king-size beds.

The first room has a large bathroom en suite with bath and hair-dryer; the second has a washbasin in a cupboard with hair-dryer.

A third spacious independent shower room with hydrotherapy massage shower and hair-dryer has just been built.

The drawing room has a king-size Italian sofa bed that can sleep two more.

The villa has all modern amenities including full air-conditioning, ADSL, Satellite TV, plasma screen, HD recorder.

The villa has been in the owner's family for over 3 centuries and has been added to in the course of centuries.

It is named Le Cros (the Hollow) and has given its name to the neighborhood.

The lady-owner of the villa is a descendant of the 140 Ligurian families who, in the 15th century, came from Italy at the invitation of the monks of the Iles de Lerins (off Cannes) to cultivate their orange-trees.

The genealogical tree on Place Bellevue still bears testimony to the adventure of the foundation of the village : the name of the owner is to be found on the orange tiles that line Place Bellevue.

The villa still retains its 17th century charm with
- its 'tommettes' (red tiles)
- its old stone fountain dated 1867
- its ancient stone 'lavoir' (old wash-place)
- its old wine press where the owner's father, grand-father and great-grandfather used to 'walk' the grapes from their land barefoot
- its terracotta boiler in which her great-aunts used to boil their linen with ashes to make it whiter
- its rounded staircase 'confiturier' (marmalade cabinet) to keep the orange preserves they had made from the bitter 'Bigarade' oranges that grew (and still grow) in the garden
- and its 'bousquetière' where the family kept wood for the fireplaces.

The garden is planted with jasmine, mimosa, orange, lemon, tangerine and olive trees (that make a natural parasol over the elegant garden furniture) not to mention a Muscat grape vine that yields delicious grapes.

Needless to say that the villa and its quaint garden offer you much more space than a hotel room.

What is more you can wander peacefully and safely in the main street, pedestrianised rue Saint-Sauveur, with all its Arts and Crafts shops, its fine art galleries and numerous cozy restaurants not to mention the Place Bellevue wherefrom you will admire the liners moored in the Bay of Cannes

You can buy anything you need from the small shops on Boulevard Carnot.

A pharmacy, the post-office and public library as well as an excellent baker's and butcher's are only 1 minute away.

If you do not feel like going out to expensive restaurants twice a day you may bring home some gourmet food and relax in the garden.

Buying local products, good bread, cheese and a bottle of wine is often a much better way of enjoying French cuisine and Provencal delicacies than dining out.

A 25% non-refundable deposit is required on booking (PayPal or bank transfer).

Prices are all-inclusive.

However if the villa is returned in a dire state €100 euros will be charged as a cleaning fee.

English-speaking key holder service and 24/24 hotline service inclusive.

The balance is due two weeks prior to arrival.

Payable on arrival, is a fully refundable security deposit against damage, of €1,000 or equivalent by check in your preferred currency.

Arrival : usually after 5 pm (flexible) Departure : usually 10 am (flexible).
