We travelled as 2 families comprising 12 people (4 adults/8 kids ages 8-16)to this house in La Rochelle.
One of the best bits was the little pool (in the entirely private and secluded garden) which was heated and clean, safe enough for our smaller children and deep enough for our teens to play in.
The house is quirkily laid out, with bedrooms and bathrooms over 4 floors accessed by a steep spiral staircase. The living arrangements were fantastic for our large, diverse group. WiFi, a well-equipped kitchen, ample dining space indoors and the most MARVELOUS covered decking with BBQ grill and seating for 20 people! We spent much of our week's holiday in this space irrespective of the weather.
The bedrooms are plainly furnished but clean and well configured, with a range of flexible accomodation for singles and couples, and plenty of bathroom and toilet facilities. The house is in a very quiet area, yet within easy walking reach of all the town's attractions
The town of La Rochelle itself was absolutely charming, laid back yet buzzy, with plenty of good food and family activities in the surrounding areas. The marina is quite spectacular, and there several sailing schools and opportunities to take to the seas.
Our host was very welcoming and helpful throughout our visit, making sure we had everything we needed during our stay and even treating us to a trip out to sea on his boat!
We're all a bit in love with La Rochelle now!
