We had an enjoyable stay and host was accomodating when we asked for the pool to be heated although it was not clear it wasn't heated all year round. House was clean and bathrooms are absolutely beautiful. All in all our second trip to Bordeaux and it was thoroughly enjoyable!

Great location, outdoor facilities and garden which we enjoyed. The pool is not alarmed, have a cover or fenced so care needed for children and animals. No mention in the description that you have to walk through one bedroom to access another or that the fourth bedroom is in a separate building and you have to walk outside to access the bathroom. There are also some changes in level in the property which are not obvious immediately - into kitchen and to the en suite bedroom. Unfortunately we had a number of minor issues the main ones being a broken aircon unit which poured water when on and took 2 days to isolate so we had no aircon in the lounge for those days and the pool turned green due to lack of testing so no pool for two days. These were sorted but no apology or recompense was forthcoming from the owner. Inside the property it only has seating for 6 at the dining table and 4 on the sofas although there is plenty of outdoor furniture. Outdoor seat pads and umbrella need replacing as were very tired and ripped in places. Wara was good at responding but it took time to get things sorted.

Lovely garden area…,house is nice although a bit tired in bits and as others say could be a privacy issue with walking through a bedroom to get to master…my grown up son slept in this room and had to creep by him in morning so not to wake him. Also another bedroom is in a garden room/garage which may not work for all families as is outside main house and guests have to come into main house for toilet. The kitchen was well equipped and the outdoor barbecue area was a nice bonus. We had a lovely stay there and was a great location to cycle and explore the area.

We had a lovely time as a family of three adults and four kids. The house is lovely, nice pool and outside seating, excellent amenities and Valerie (the owner) and Wara who helped us settle in could not have been nicer - both lovely people. Ares is a nice little town, great restaurants and everyone was really friendly. We would definitely stay there again Kieran & Maeve

Lovely relaxing villa, great pool and sunbathing! Brilliant barbecue and very close to shops and bars

If you enjoy swimming in the Atlantic Ocean, cycling long distances on safe paths through lovely pine forests, oysters and chilled white wine and immersing yourself in french culture while staying in a very well appointed home with a great entertainment area and salinated swimming pool then this is the ideal villa which we would highly recommend. Situated on a quiet road which is only 5 minutes walk from the centre of Ares with boulangerie(2), boucherie, restaurants and a small Carrefour as well as easy access to interesting walks along the beaches of the Arcachon Basin ( we had no problems with walking our dog on the beaches). Plage Cohort is 15 minutes drive from the villa with miles and miles of clean white beaches with warm Atlantic water (20 degrees) and good surf.(also no problem with our dog on the beach). We had a truly wonderful 3 weeks holiday. Communication with Valerie the owner as well as her support team of Wara and Nicolas was excellent and any issues were quickly and efficiently dealt with. ( including supplying fresh linen every week) The description of the property is accurate except that it was not clear that the the main en suite bedroom is accessed through a second bedroom which, while it was not a problem for us, could be a privacy issues for unrelated adult couples. An outside shower would be a welcome addition to the property. Overall a wonderful holiday and hopefully we can return one day.

We spent two wonderful relaxing weeks in Valéries beautiful Villa. The house and the whole equipment is stylish and cosy. Garden and pool are awesome. It is a very quite and friendly neighbourhood. Just a short walk to bakery, butcher and supermarket. Thank you Valérie for the friendly contact and Wara for the help on site. We highly recommend this beautiful villa and would love to come back soon! ☀️

Tout très bien Il manquait juste un 2ème jeux de clés Et un détail, quand il fait chaud, les lattes en bois autour de la piscine suintent de la résine qu’il faudrait je pense gratter quand c’est sec ? Mais ce sont des détails : la maison dégage de très bonnes énergies et nous avons avons passé un très bon séjour
