At 8 Rue La Fontaine, just steps from La Croisette, the white sandy beaches, and the luxury boutiques of Rue d’Antibes, the Guitare apartments represent the essence of contemporary elegance on the French Riviera.
Fully renovated and designed by Marie-Pierre Petitpas of M-P Design, Cannes, this collection of four apartments harmoniously blends Scandinavian serenity with the vibrant lifestyle of the Côte d’Azur. Every element — from the architecture to the smallest decorative detail — has been thoughtfully composed to create a space that is at once refined, comfortable, and timeless.
An Elegant Welcome
From the moment you enter the private entrance hall, the atmosphere sets the tone — calm, sophisticated, and discreetly luxurious. The subtle palette, fine lighting, and bespoke finishes create the impression of a first-class residence, more akin to a boutique hotel than a standard apartment building. This graceful entrance establishes an immediate sense of exclusivity and welcome.
Design That Balances “Hygge” and Riviera Chic
Inside, each apartment expresses the unique design philosophy of Marie-Pierre Petitpas: a seamless dialogue between Nordic minimalism and Mediterranean warmth.
Natural oak herringbone floors, soft neutral tones, and tailored woodwork set the foundation for interiors that feel bright, airy, and elegantly understated.
The spaces evoke the Danish concept of “hygge” — comfort, harmony, and well-being — interpreted through the Riviera lens: sunlight streaming through tall French windows, a gentle sea breeze, and a design that invites relaxation and conviviality.
Crafted Details and Tailor-Made Elegance
Throughout each apartment, you’ll find bespoke cupboards and cabinetry, designed and built to measure, combining functionality with refined aesthetics.
The lighting — from the sculptural lamps over the beds to the ambient tones in the living spaces — has been carefully curated to enhance comfort and intimacy, echoing the ambiance of a 5-star hotel suite.
Every bedroom features high-quality bedding and thoughtful layouts to ensure a sense of calm and restfulness.
The bathrooms are finished to the highest standard, with premium fittings, elegant marble or stone surfaces, and refined brass or matte-black details — luxurious yet understated, reflecting the same Scandinavian precision and Riviera glamour that define the rest of the apartment.
A Home Designed for Living Beautifully
The Guitare apartments are as functional as they are beautiful — equally suited for private living, seasonal enjoyment, or high-end rental investment. Each apartment is designed to meet the expectations of international guests seeking both style and substance: elegant décor, thoughtful amenities, and a location that truly embodies Cannes’ effortless sophistication.
Just outside your door, you’ll find the Mondrian Hotel’s lush garden and Dr. Nakasati restaurant, the renowned L’Affable, and all the attractions that make this neighborhood one of Cannes’ most desirable.
In short, Guitare offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of design excellence — where Scandinavian craftsmanship meets Riviera elegance, in a location that simply can’t be surpassed.
