Welcomed by a cousin of the owner, this lovely property, with loads of bathrooms and loos, essential for twelve people, provided a great swimming pool, and large garden for badminton, archery, kicking footballs and rugby, hanging out your washing, having barbecues, etc., and we were all able to eat together outside around large tables, or just relax under the awning. Plenty of bikes of all sizes, for exploring the safe, traffic-free country lanes, while surrounded by vineyards and sunflowers. Trips to the local boulangerie in the mornings, or the Super U in Mirambeau, meant easy catering. Superb sandy beach at St. George de Didonne, and other closer estuary beaches.
Very well equipped house, and quite cool in the extreme heat, with the only downside being the mosquitoes, which were all over France this August. Bought a small fan to try to disperse them at night in one bedroom, and would recommend that a very useful addition would be a fan for each bedroom, to blow them away. Bring some Vick, as it helps! A charming and unobtrusive host in one apartment, there to help if needed, with lots of good tips about local wines and cognac. A great place for a relaxing holiday, for all the family, which we hope to return to in the future.
