My wife, young children and I stayed at this villa for 10 days in July. If you are looking for a peaceful retreat, and / or a base for visiting the west coast beaches and towns I would recommend this Villa whole heartedly.
The villa’s appearance and general up keep are as good as the photos suggest, and is set in large, well-kept grounds surrounded by extensive woodland. The Villa was clean and very well presented, and provided everything we needed for an extremely comfortable family holiday. There is a fully stocked Supermarket near Castets centre which is five minutes’ drive in the car.
The owners Henri & Aude made us feel most welcome. Prior to travelling they provided detailed information on the facilities and clear directions on how to get there. Upon arrival they made sure we were happy with everything and provided useful information on where to go, and what to do.
We spent lots of time playing in the pool, which was fantastic for cooling down from the hot sunny days. We also travelled to the nearby town of Dax (20 minute drive), which has some lovely shops and restaurants. The beaches of the west coast are sandy, clean and again only a 20 minute drive away. Moliets plage is a popular beach with lots of facilities (eating / shops / surfing / golf / bike tracks / camping), and Saint Girons Plage is a quiet, less touristy beach to visit. Both have surfing facilities, and are fully patrolled by lifeguards.
In summary, we had a fantastic holiday and have many, many lovely memories of the time we spent here. I would not hesitate to recommend this Villa and would rate it as exceptional in terms of facilities, appearance and location.
