P E R F E C T in every way
My family and I stayed in this divine apartment for 16 nights. We moved from Australia and spent the 16 nights in the apartment as we waited for our new 'home', our sailing catamaran, to be finished for us to move on.
I am an interior architect and I was attracted to the apartment from the photos. THe experience of staying in the apartment was better than the photos.
Thierry, the lovely owner, designed this apartment for himself to live in so it goes above an beyond any rental apartments. There are beautiful Miele appliances including ovens, steam oven, plate warmer, induction cooktop and dishwasher. There is a wine fridge aswell as double fridge, a coffee machine and so much preparation and storage space in the kitchen. There is also a Miele washing machine and dryer. A true home away from home.
The apartment is right on a heritage landmark on the ramparts right next to the tower. Although you are next to amazing restaurants, the temptation to use the trolley provided and walk to the fresh produce markets and cook our own meal in the amazing kitchen and sit out on the upper deck was too great! We had cheese and wine on the deck most evenings and watched the sunset and mostly ate in the apartment at night.
The beds are comfortable and living is easy. There is always a sunny side to be at and great views out of all windows including a view out to the ocean and horizon.
La Rochelle is a fantastic town to explore. We are also thankful for Thierry's help with not only navigating the town, where to eat and purchase things but also Thierry was able to help us out with the fitout of our new boat. He speaks really good English compared to my not so good French.
I highly recommend staying here! So much so that my friends came and stayed here for the week following us and loved it too!
Don't you love it when you end up with the perfect apartment somewhere?!!
