Serviced Apartments in Saint-Raphaël

Just down the road from Cannes, Saint-Raphaël is a modest city of about 35,000 people and is a relatively recently developed seaside resort. Particularly popular with artists over the years, the town benefits from the customary Mediterranean weather, and is a popular choice for tourists from France and Italy all year round. There is a good selection of accommodation available with serviced apartments in Saint-Raphaël being of a particularly high standard.

Saint-Raphaël is also known for its extensive coastline with 36 kilometres in total to enjoy. In large part this is due to the somewhat cragged nature of the coast, with many coves and creeks alongside the excellent sandy beaches. It is of course the beaches which bring many visitors to the area and many holiday rentals in Saint-Raphaël are found right on the seafront. The main beaches in question are Veillat Beach (the one closest to the city centre), and others at at Boulouris, Le Dramont and lastly Agay. If you wish to get away from the busier beaches, there are also two smaller areas at Anthéor and Le Trayas.

Despite being at least comfortable for the majority of the year, the true holiday season in Saint-Raphaël is from June to September when temperatures can push towards 30° Celsius. Many visitors book Saint-Raphaël holiday apartments in the winter months for a quieter break and even at this time the weather tends to be warm and humid.

There are many different ways to reach the town with the nearest international airport being 45 kilometers away. Saint-Raphaël has a modern railway station offering services to all of the major cities in France including Paris (which actually uses the national high-speed train network). Reaching your Saint-Raphaël city centre (center) apartment by road is also a practical method, with connections to Nice, Marseille, Cannes and St Tropez all available.

Among the sites to see in the town are the Church Notre Dame de la Victoire, a mediaeval tower, and another tower built into the old church of San Rafeu. Travelling to the sights from any Saint-Raphaël apartment rental is largely possible by foot but there is also an extensive town bus service available for those hot days when your feet start to ache a little.

The nearby town of Fréjus is a very pleasant day out and is the site of an old Roman aqueduct as well as the rather impressive church of St. Maximinus, completed in the 15th century. It is always worth taking day trips from your Saint-Raphaël short stay apartment to make the most of the area.
