![hotels are excellent, Uste the Travel Editor of The Queen, a high authority, who writes : “The hotels of Cannes are among the best arranged in respect to sanitation in Europe, which is greatly due to epidemic scares of past years.” Pensions.—Among the numerous hotel-pensions, the follow- ing have been recommended : Victoria, Westminster, and Terrasse approaching the Californie quarter, Suisse and Louvre in a central position, and Victoria with large garden. On an elevated position near the Boulevard du Cannet is the Hotel Paradis. High up to the north, at some distance from the sea, is the Hotel Beaulieu, whieh is well spoken of. The pension at these houses is usually from lO to 12 fr., according to position and aspect of bedroom. It must be remembered that in the height of the season the proprietor may decline to take visitors at pension rates. A visitor staying only four or five days in an hotel would find it more economical to pay the pension terms for the whole week than to take his meals a la carte, and pay for his room by the day. All the hotels frequented by English and American visitors close in the summer. There are several private pensions. Those chiefly frequented by English people are the Villa Donat Rose, Bd. Carnot (now transferred to Villa La Garde, Chemin de Vallauris), Villa Campestra, and Pension Tanner. Pension from 7 or 8 fr. Villas and Apartments.—There are a great many villas in Cannes and in its neighbourhood, and, with the exception of about one hundred belonging to resident French and English proprietors, they can be rented for the season, which is counted from October ist to May 31st. The rents vary from ;!^ioo to ;i^i,200, including plate and linen. There are not many at rents below 50, and it would be difficult to obtain a satisfactorily furnished villa, in a good position, and with a moderate-sized garden, suitable for an ordinary small family with servants, at a less rent than £200. The smaller villas can sometimes be rented for the separate periods known as “half season” and “high season.” Flats and apartments are rather scarce and relatively expensive. The rent of the smallest, in a good posi- tion, would be £^]Q or ^80.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b28071955_0083.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
