Built on the outskirts of Vendres about 20 years ago, the house has 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms(baths & showers) 2 separate WCs, kitchen & a large lounge/dining room.

Outside there is an enormous terrace for outdoor eating and chilling in the evening, a large beautiful mature garden with figs, pomegranites & other fruits. A gardener attends all year round. There is automatic watering (arrosage) which keeps the lawn very green.
BBQ available.
Pool/Beach towels provided.


The pool is 10m x 4m, with a dome cover. The water is saline, which is really soft & easy on the skin & eyes, much nicer than chlorine & absolutely nothing like the sea! The cover keeps the pool immaculate & incredibly warm(28-30C in summer). It also extends the season for using the pool.

There are two downstairs bedrooms: 1 twin & 1 kingsize. Upstairs 3 bedrooms are a twin, a double and a kingsize, so the house sleeps 10 comfortably.

We believe that we have provided most things that should be needed for a comfortable & enjoyable stay and have responded to feedback from this years guests. The reviews so far have been very positive. We have a new pool management team, as the last one was not very 'responsive'..

Bookings are Saturday to Saturday or Sunday to Sunday, although happy to consider some flexibility around this out of season.

Please do contact us for any further information, we do usually reply within a few hours.

Due to additional costs over the past couple of years during the pandemic, we now have to make a charge for deep cleaning which is €200 per stay.
