Fabulous break

This was our second visit to this lovely house, and once again did not disappoint, this is the perfect home for a multi generational holiday, plenty of room for everyone to chill and relax. Great location, scenic walks, lovely restaurants locally and the best swimming pool, only a short drive into La Rochelle. A lovely and accommodating host who met us on arrival and was easy to contact if we had any queries. I can’t recommend highly enough.

Perfect in every way!

We have stayed at many different holiday homes in France over the years. It is not often that a property has everything; but in this case it really does! The house is perfect, along with the pool, location, beautiful views and the most welcoming host - Virginie. We have just returned from a wonderful week where we enjoyed several days out, including the Ile de ré and La Rochelle, all of which are on the door step. We cannot recommend the house enough; so much so that we’ve already booked for next year!! Thank you Virginie 🇫🇷😎👍

Fantastic stay. Perfect location, everything and more, that you could want from a holiday home. Perfect place to relax. Good sea food restaurants within a short walk, may need to book. Virginie is a great host. Will be back again to see more of the area.

Perfect Family Getaway

Just returned from a wonderful week here. The house was a fantastic size for our two families and was perfectly presented on arrival by the owner, Virginie. The property is well stocked with all the things you would expect to find and all the bedrooms have double beds so plenty of sleeping space. The pool was brilliant and just the right size for us. As for location the house is situated in a small village with a supermarket, bakery, butchers, a couple of pizza takeaways and a market that visits a couple of times a week just a few minutes walk away. A 15-minute drive sees you in La Rochelle itself. The only downside (if there was one) was the lack of restaurants within a short walk away - there are some fantastic seafood restaurants around a 15 - 20 minute walk away along the coast which are well worth the walk but booking is essential as we found to our cost! Otherwise, we could not fault the property and had a great week!

About the host

Hosted by Virginie

Host profile image
We are a Franco-britannique family and we live in Newmarket near Cambridge. We have family friends who live in L’Houmeau and we have visited them every summer for the past 25 years.
The children have great memories of their holidays there and still enjoy coming to stay in the house with their friends

Why they chose this property

It is in a great location and easily accessible, all the benefits of La Rochelle and l’île de Ré without the inconvenience of the bridge toll charges and terrible traffic on the island during the height of the season
Having stayed ourselves in the house these past two summer seasons, we have enjoyed the tranquillity of the location.

What makes this property unique

Unrivalled view of the sea and across to l’île de Ré
Very quiet location
Ideal for relaxing, sitting by the pool and enjoy the sunshine
