Hôtel La Villa des Oliviers, Seaside Hotel

Hôtel La Villa des Oliviers offers double rooms, a twin room and a family room. The rooms have a private bathroom with a shower, air conditioning and a flat-screen TV. They accommodate two people; the family room can take an extra bed on request and with the management’s approval. Room sizes range from 12 to 22 m².

The main differences are the views and outdoor spaces. Some rooms face the sea and have a balcony, sometimes with an additional terrace. Others overlook the garden, inner courtyard or town; one double room has a private terrace and patio. The twin room has two single beds, while the double rooms have one double bed. In some categories, the upper floors are accessible only by stairs. Each room therefore offers a distinct combination of view, sleeping arrangements and outdoor access.

Hôtel La Villa des Oliviers has a garden, outdoor furniture and terraces, including a sun terrace. Cros-de-Cagnes Beach is 100 m from the hotel, and nearby activities include scuba diving, cycling, windsurfing and fishing. Bicycle rental and bike tours are also available.

Accessibility features include wheelchair access, a low-level washbasin and toilets with grab rails.

Le Cros-de-Cagnes is a coastal neighbourhood in Cagnes-sur-Mer, between Nice and Antibes. A former fishing village, it retains its connection with the sea, with its harbour, beaches and promenade for walks. The atmosphere is that of a resort on the French Riviera, popular for days by the water and trips to nearby towns. Pebble beaches and landscaped areas line the seafront, while the old village of Cagnes sits on the hills above.

Cros-de-Cagnes Beach is 100 m from the hotel, and Cros-de-Cagnes train station is 800 m away; trains connect you with towns along the coast. The Renoir Museum, in the Domaine des Collettes, traces the painter’s time in Cagnes-sur-Mer and can be visited in leafy surroundings. Château Grimaldi, in the medieval village of Haut-de-Cagnes, houses a museum and is surrounded by old lanes to explore. Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is 3.4 km away. Nice and Antibes offer further opportunities for visits, with their heritage, markets and museums.

To enjoy the coast, you could start the day with a walk along the shore, followed by a swim and a visit to Haut-de-Cagnes in the late afternoon. The Mediterranean climate makes outdoor activities pleasant for much of the year; summer brings more visitors and warmer weather, while September often has milder conditions. Train services make car-free trips to Nice or Antibes easy. To explore the hinterland, set aside half a day for the lanes of the hilltop village and the Renoir Museum.
