Owner profile
About the owner
Alan and Mary-Clair Farrelly live in London and bought Green Village off-plan in 2006.
We try and stay here as much as possible, we love the area as it's quite an unknown part of France. The food, wine and people are just great we always come back to London feeling 10 years younger. Whatever age you are Green Village and St Gilles Croix de Vie has something to offer you.
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We holidayed all over France looking for the perfect spot to buy a home. Green Village met all our requirements. From the golf course to the beautiful beaches with the perfect cycle paths and destinations we are never happier than when in Vendee.
Unique benefits of the property
We like nothing better than relaxing on the patio at night with a glass of locally produced wine, watching the sun set over the golf course and enjoying the quiteness and tranquility.
Although we love the golf course and swimming pool, during the day we like to cycle to all the local markets and attractions on the many beautiful cycle paths, which start right outside the door.
