This was our first holiday in Les Landes and we were completely new and unfamiliar with the area. We chose the villa due to the pool, the two bathrooms and it's proximity to the beach. We fell in love with the area and returned to Les Landes in 2014! Unfortunately the house was already booked!
The villa is stunning! It appears to be brand new, and was presented in a very clean, fresh state. The bedrooms are large, the beds comfortable. The upstairs bedroom feels like a pent-house suite, facing onto a large roof terrace over-looking the pool. There are electric shutters on all the bedroom windows, so the morning sun can be blocked out leaving you to sleep late peacefully!
The bathrooms are great. There is a large family bathroom with walk in shower and bath downstairs and an ensuite shower to the bedroom upstairs.
The kitchen is small, but modern and functional. There's plenty of storage space and all the equipment you need. The living room is basic, but fine, there's a large LCD TV and a single large sofa.
The pool is visible from most angles in the garden, including the eating-area, so it felt very safe with our two young children running around. However, the garden and pool are shaded by large trees, so the pool was fresh to say the least. The white sun loungers by the pool are very very relaxing.
The villa is set within a very quiet residential part of Labenne Ocean, away from the holiday villages. It was extremely quiet and peaceful. It's a short drive (less than 20 minutes) to Capbreton and Hossegor, where we spent most of our beach days.
The owner of the house is lovely. She lives just round the corner and should you need her she would be there to help. Other than check-in and out, we didn't see her all holiday because we had no issues at all during our stay. But, we did accidentally leave a couple of personal items behind, which we picked up from her one whole year later - great service!!
I would definitely recommend this house to friends and family, with the warning of the cold pool!
