The Pierre &
Vacances Residence Cannes Verrerie is a budget 250-apartment holiday
complex situated on the outskirts of town overlooking Cannes Bay. Apartments
are mostly pleasant with good cooking facilities and furnished terraces, though
some are definitely too small for groups. The pool and nearby beach provide plenty of opportunities to splash about, though loungers have to be hired.
Overall, it's not a bad option for a cheap family break, though don't expect
much in the way of service or space.

Scene
Budget holiday complex with simple, family-friendly vibe
Although part of
the same apartment complex as the P&V Residence Cannes Beach, the P&V Residence
Cannes Verrerie immediately makes a better impression -- a pleasant palm-tree
lined path leads into a bright, modern lobby area dotted with wicker
furnishings, potted plants, and black-and-white movie-themed photographs. The hotel
is still a pretty simple set-up, but centered around a circular seasonal
swimming pool surrounded by sun terraces and well-maintained Mediterranean
gardens. The atmosphere varies by season, but summer sees an influx of families
with young kids splashing about in the pool or at the sandy beach nearby.
Location
Set in residential area close to airport overlooking Cannes Bay
The complex is
located in a largely residential area overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and
Cannes Bay, a couple miles or around a 10-minute drive from the center of town.
The Bosquet train station is just minutes walk away, while the Cannes
Mandelieu Airport is just five minutes by car. Through a tunnel running under
the railway and a busy seafront road, there there's a thin strip of sandy beach
within two minutes walk, though the town's best beaches are about a five-minute drive along the coast. Note: station is not a terminal as described on previous P&V property
Rooms
Pleasant but small self-catering apartments with balconies -- some with sea views
The complex has
250 apartments, all of which are decorated in a simple, contemporary style with
colorful fabrics and modern furnishings. Kitchens provide basic but adequate
facilities and cookware, while bathrooms are clean and modern (though towels cost
extra). A lounge area with sofa bed and TV opens onto a furnished terrace or
balcony; some of these have lovely sea views (though also views of the railway). The downsides are that some
apartments are definitely a bit small, especially for larger groups, beds are
on the hard side, and air-conditioning doesn't come standard.
Features
Seasonal outdoor pool area with kids' pool and loungers (for a supplement)
The complex is
centered around a circular swimming pool, which includes a kids' section, and
sun terraces dotted with loungers (open from April to September and loungers
are charged). For a supplement, guests can have food delivered to their
apartment while there is also a bar-restaurant on-site serving drinks and meals
throughout the day.
