“Great gite, lovely position, nice and quiet, very relaxing.”

Reviewed 2 Aug 2017

Cathy and Howard were great hosts. Although there were 6 gites on the site we still felt very private. Lovely quiet area, easy distance to beaches and towns such as St Gilles. The observatory at Olonne Sur Mer is definitely worth a visit. It was great to see green woodpeckers and especially hoopoe in the garden. Would certainly stay there again.
