BED & BREAKFAST CHAMBRES D'HOTES COTTAGE BELLEVUE, Cannes

The bed and breakfast is located in a calm neighbourhood on a steep access road, providing a peaceful retreat from the city centre. The Palais des Festivals and the Croisette are about a 25-minute walk downhill; the return is uphill. Public buses (Lycée Carnot stop) run regularly to the centre. Local amenities include a supermarket, post office, and several restaurants within 0.5-1 km. Free walking tours and the Musée International de la Parfumerie are nearby attractions. A private car is useful, but parking is limited and must be pre-arranged.

Each double room includes air conditioning, a coffee machine, a seating area, a dining area, and a wardrobe. Rooms offer either city or garden views from a private patio. The shared bathroom is equipped with a walk-in shower and bath, and is used by all three rooms. The shared kitchen includes a refrigerator, dishwasher, oven, and cookware, ideal for self-catering. The house features a shared lounge and TV area. The property is older and some rooms may have dated decor. Noise from adjacent rooms can be audible, so requesting a quieter room is advisable. The overall atmosphere is described as charming and peaceful.

Breakfast includes bread, croissants, and jam, with coffee and tea available throughout the day. The dining area offers city views. Guests can enjoy breakfast in the garden or on the terrace. The breakfast is simple but fresh, with croissants noted as particularly good.

A variety of outdoor activities (cycling, hiking, walking tours) are accessible nearby, all off-site. Some local activities (e.g., bowling, cinema) carry an additional charge. The garden is shared and well-maintained, though some guests have noted it can appear unkempt.
