Holiday Heaven

This is a wonderful place to spend a holiday. We were there for two weeks in May. The house is set in a grassy courtyard with trees and a pond (home to an entertaining frog chorus). The charming house is tastefully and comfortably furnished, with added seaside touches. The kitchen is lovingly equipped, and we appreciated the little extras: even herbs, onions and garlic. All the equipment worked perfectly.
The courtyard terrace is lovely for early sun and the secluded garden with second terrace and outdoor furniture perfect for breakfast and dinner as well as relaxing (sleeping) with a book and a drink in a comfortable chair or the swing. We were happy to spend days there without wanting to go further afield.
Le Chateau is the nearby village with a citadel, shops, a lively, large, Sunday market, and an excellent choice of restaurants. There are reasonable places for lunch all over the Island.
The nearby main road makes exploring the Island from end to end very easy, but try the coastal roads as well. Grand Plage and Vert Bois are excellent beaches and were never crowded while we were there. There are activities to be enjoyed by the energetic throughout the island but we did not sample them.
We left the island only once during our stay and were glad to get ‘home’.
It was the most relaxing holiday we’ve ever spent.
