Eden Park, Cannes
Review Submitted: January 7, 2009

An excellent place to spend the Christmas week in the sun without the hassle of air travel. We experienced temparatures of +/- 15°C, which the locals told us was about normal. Blue skies, azur sea (of course), perfect. Even better there were no other toursists, just the locals, which made getting around very easy indeed.
The appartment is very well placed, a short walk from the old town of Cannes and the main shopping street (a must for window shoppers) yet was rather calm. The description was spot-on, i.e. it was well appointed, very spacious for a family of four, clean and well-maintained, and set in luxurious gardens. The indoor pool was a huge bonus, and we virtually had it too ourselves. Being a gated residence gave us total tranquility for the car, but we also noticed that it is also a 15 minute walk to the station.
We used this also as a base for a bit of touring - the Gorges du Loup and the villages therein (especially Gourdon and Tourettes), Grasse and Monaco were easy to get too and well worth the visit, especially at thsi time of year when there are very few other tourists.
All in all very good - thoroughly recommended, especially to families such as ours with a couple of children around 10, as well as more mature people.
