Morning light, palm-framed views and the easy rhythm of Cannes life set the tone for this 1st-floor one-bedroom apartment in the sought-after Californie–Montfleury area. Inside, 44.84 m² is thoughtfully arranged around an open living space that extends outdoors to a generous 21.02 m² south-west-facing balcony. The residence is designed as a private, landscaped haven with a central swimming pool—an inviting contrast to the buzz of the Croisette and Rue d’Antibes, both within easy reach on foot. Premium specifications include individual reversible air conditioning, centrally controlled electric roller shutters, and a fully secure, gated environment.

Riviera days, effortlessly lived
There’s a particular kind of calm that Cannes offers when you step just beyond the waterfront: leafy streets, a softer pace, and that unmistakable Côte d’Azur light that seems to polish every surface. Set in the prized Californie–Montfleury area, this 1st-floor apartment captures that feeling beautifully—close enough to the city’s energy to walk to boutiques, markets and the Croisette, yet held within a landscaped residential setting designed for everyday ease.
Here, life naturally shifts outdoors. Coffee lingers, lunches stretch, evenings arrive in warm tones. With a generous south-west-facing balcony and a residence organised around a central pool and gardens, the apartment invites you to live Cannes as it’s meant to be lived: unhurried, sunlit, and always within reach of the sea.

A layout that feels simple, bright and considered
The apartment offers 44.84 m² of well-composed interior space, arranged to make day-to-day living feel fluid and intuitive. From the entrance hall (5.06 m²), the plan opens into a main living area where relaxing, dining and cooking come together naturally, without sacrificing comfort. The overall impression is one of clarity—spaces that are easy to furnish, easy to maintain, and designed to welcome light.

The heart of the home
The open-plan living room and kitchen total 21.93 m², creating a central space that adapts to your rhythm—quiet mornings with the doors open to the balcony, or lively evenings that begin with apéritifs and continue out under the Riviera sky. Generous glazing brings in sunshine and contributes to a sense of well-being, while the home’s design supports passive solar gain—particularly valuable in a region where the seasons are gentle and the days are long.

A bedroom made for true downtime
Set apart from the living area, the bedroom (11.36 m²) feels like a private retreat—proportioned for comfort and calm, whether you imagine it as a main residence, a refined pied-à-terre, or a base for extended stays in Cannes. The separation between day and night spaces is subtle but effective, giving the apartment a composed, residential feel.

A sleek, practical bathroom
The shower room (5.25 m²) is finished with full-height wall tiling and equipped with a vanity unit, mirror and lighting. Details are chosen for comfort: thermostatic fittings, a shower column, and a heated towel rail, all designed to make everyday routines feel quietly polished. The home also benefits from a small internal corridor space (1.24 m²) that contributes to an easy flow between rooms.

Your outdoor extension: 21.02 m² of south-west sun
The balcony is where this apartment truly leans into the Riviera lifestyle. Measuring 21.02 m² (approximately 2.60 m x 8.08 m), it reads like an outdoor room—large enough to create distinct zones for dining and lounging, or simply to let you follow the sun from afternoon into evening. With a south-west orientation, it’s perfectly placed for golden-hour light and long, warm evenings that define life on the coast.
This is the kind of space that changes how you use a home: breakfast outdoors, a book in the shade, a late lunch after the market, or a quiet nightcap as the city settles. In Cannes, outdoor living isn’t an occasional pleasure—it’s part of the daily rhythm, and this balcony is designed to make the most of it.

Premium specifications for comfort, security and year-round ease
The residence is conceived with a clear focus on quality and peace of mind—details that matter whether you live here full-time or arrive with a suitcase and want everything to simply work.

Individual reversible air conditioning for cooling in summer and comfort in cooler months
Electric roller shutters with centralised control
Large-format tiling (80 x 80 cm) throughout the apartment
Powder-coated aluminium joinery
Fully enclosed, secure residence with controlled access via videophone and contactless badge system
Reinforced entrance door with certified 3-point locks

The overall development follows an environmental approach and is compliant with Re 2020 standards, aligning modern comfort with contemporary performance expectations.

An oasis feeling at the centre of the residence
One of the defining pleasures of this address is its landscaped heart: gardens shaped to bring greenery into everyday life, and a central swimming pool bordered by a fitted beach area. It creates a resort-like atmosphere—refreshing, social when you want it to be, and quietly restorative at other times. In a city celebrated for its glamour, this kind of private calm feels especially valuable.
The residence is organised to prioritise these outdoor spaces, with underground parking provided at development level—helping keep the environment serene and pedestrian-friendly within the landscaped grounds.

Cannes within walking distance, the Riviera within easy reach
From Californie–Montfleury, Cannes opens up beautifully on foot. Everyday conveniences sit close by, making the apartment as practical as it is pleasurable: a mini-market around 230 m away, city-centre shops and services at approximately 700 m, and the Gambetta market also around 700 m. For beach days and evening strolls, the Croisette and Macé beaches are about 1 km away, while the Palais des Festivals and the Vieux-Port are roughly 1.3 km—close enough to feel the pulse of the city, yet far enough to return to a calmer residential atmosphere.
Connectivity is equally appealing. Cannes train station is approximately 800 m away, linking you to Antibes in about 10 minutes, Nice in about 32 minutes, Marseille in under 2 hours, and Paris in around 5 hours 20 by Tgv. Bus stops nearby (around 200–450 m) provide straightforward access to the station, beaches and key points of the city.
For international travel, Nice Côte d’Azur Airport lies roughly 25–26 km away, while the A8 motorway can be reached at approximately 5.9 km, placing the wider Riviera—from Monaco to Saint-Tropez—and the inland villages of Grasse and Mougins comfortably within your orbit.

A Cannes address designed for real life
This apartment isn’t about excess it’s about balance. A well-sized one-bedroom interior that feels bright and modern, paired with a truly generous balcony for outdoor living, and the rare pleasure of a landscaped, secure residence with a pool—right in one of Cannes’ most desirable residential sectors. Whether you picture a refined base for weekends and festivals, or a year-round home where the sea and the city are part of your everyday routine, it offers a polished, Riviera-ready way of living.
