Coastal La Tranche-sur-Mer Villa With Private Pool, Vendee, France - L`Etoile De Mer Reviews

This was our (two related families)second visit to this property,the 1st time was in 2012 and within the first day we decided to book for the following year - we were gutted when it wasn't available. When we returned last year it was everything and more than we had remembered. The House itself is wonderful and the outside terrace, seating and pool area is to die for. Our late teens sons were with us the first year and practically lived in the pool with my 80 plus Mum looking on from the sun terrace which she could access directly from the ground floor en suite bedroom. This room is perfect for people of limited mobility. The estate is beautiful and the walk to the beach is stunning. A five minute walk takes you to the village of La Terriere which has a great wee bar, bakery and hotel with a good restaurant. 20 minutes walk the other direction is the small town of La Tranche sur Mer which is just lovely, some great restaurants and some really nice shops. All that said, we are at our happiest having a barbeque at the outside seating area after a lazy day at the pool. The outside dining area is covered so even if there is spot of rain you can still be outside. Although our weather has always been mainly great. We are going again this year and can't wait. There is nothing to beat sitting in the late sun before dinner by the pool with a glass of vin blanc and delicious local olives from the market in La Tranche. We have all been coming to France for over 20 years and this is our favourite area. Indeed this is our favourite Villa and will always be our first choice when coming here. The owner, David, is extremely helpful and makes the whole experience a total pleasure. I do not have a single negative thing to say
