Cannes Luxury Hotels

Posted by Nick Niesen on October 29th, 2010

There are no doubt a number of renowned Cannes luxury hotels in the Cote D'Azur-we have stayed at one such luxury hotel just outside Cannes.

My wife and I flew from Birmingham Airport in England to Nice Airport in the South of France in early June to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary at a luxury hotel called Le Mas Candille about 10 km north of Cannes in a beautiful village called Mougin which has numerous artists shops/galleries and restaurants-a lovely old place to just meander around.

Le Mas Candille is indeed one of Cannes luxury hotels.

We drove up to the entrance gate of the hotel in the heat of the afternoon in a rented Peugeot 206 Cabriolette to be met by the gate attendant who let us through to drive down the tree lined long driveway arriving at the front of the hotel where we were greeted outside by two members of staff who took our luggage and parked our car. After a speedy check in we were shown to our bedroom in the original part of the building which was exquisitely furnished with a luxurious bathroom. French doors from the bedroom opened onto our own private terrace where breakfast can be taken if you so desire.

Le Mas Candille has 39 bedrooms -some located in a seperate modern building. It is set in several acres of well tended grounds with 2 outdoor swimming pools surrounded by sun loungers and hammocks. There are outdoor jacuzzis and a small outdoor gym with the most breathtaking views while you work out. The hotel has its own spa which offers all the usual treatments-my wife commented that the massage was the best she had ever received.

There are several quality restaurants at some of Cannes luxury hotels but the main restaurant at Le Mas Candille is a gastronomic michelin starred restaurant of the highest standard-service is impeccable and the food a delight. Dinner on our wedding anniversary was an evening to be remembered. There is a more informal restaurant by one of the swimming pools which again is superb-we usually ate breakfast here beneath the morning sun.

Le Mas Candille is an exclusive spa hotel which is without doubt one of Cannes luxury hotels.

Enjoy!
