Great location for everything, port, shopping, bikes and eating out with the addition of a pool and parking. Well equipped property with outside space

Good

We had stayed in this apartment once before with our children a few years ago and now returned as a couple. It has a good sized parking space, a sunny private terrace and plenty of space inside. There are so many places to eat within a short walk we didn’t bother to cook much though we did need to reserve the earlier in the day or the day before in the evening. We hired bikes for the week but the weather was so warm we also spent a lot of time by the pool . Everything was perfect !

The apartment was impeccable, very small kitchen, but all as described. Lovely pool, only small gripe was we don’t think it’s cleaned every day and saw something that put us off swimming until the overnight clean had been done one night. That being said, it was very hot and there had been a lot of folk having a lovely time cooling off, so it was probably getting above average use. We cycled far and wide every day and it was lovely to come back and relax by the pool, with other friendly residents (some who own properties there). La Jolie Brise is perfectly positioned, with shops and harbour within a few minutes walking distance. There were only two of us, but the apartment, which stayed wonderfully cool, would have been perfect for 4 people with 2 generous size bedrooms. Really the only problem was the airport transfer, there are no buses to the island from the airport, except July and August, it is essential to pre-book your taxi to and from the airport when you book your flight (use local taxis otherwise it could cost £150 +) As we asked the owners, we were disappointed that they couldn’t recommend anyone, but we visited the tourist office and found there are 2 taxi companies in La Flotte - we used Beatrice Taxis to get to the airport, but had to get there 4 hours before our flight as they were fully booked later, you may have to use Google translate if you’re not a French speaker, they accept bookings by text, and confirm by text. Bothering to do this as it took us 3 hours to get to La Flotte by taking the bus into La Rochelle and getting the bus for La Flotte at the bus station. The return journey saw us at the airport 4 hours before our flight because all the taxis were fully booked. Hope this will be helpful, it is a fabulous place to go if you enjoy low key relaxing holidays, immersed in nature and beautifully unspoilt villages.

trés bien

Résidence calme, très bien placée, très propre (y compris la piscine) Appartement très agréable, salon lumineux, très bien équipé pour se sentir à son aise dès son arrivée, bien agencé (bonne séparation zone jour / zone nuit), très propre. Accueil parfait. Je recommande et je garde l’adresse pour un prochain séjour.

Séjour d'une semaine dans ce joli appartement à la décoration soignée, propre et très fonctionnel. Tout y est bien pensé pour le bien être des locataires. Accueil chaleureux. Nous y avons passé une agréable semaine.

très bel appartement, chambres et salle de bain très spacieuses. Très bien situé, proche du port et des commerces. Avoir une piscine et parking privé est un plus. Seul bémol pas très important, le réseau téléphonique ne passe pas bien. C'est l'ile qui veut ça.
