Guest Reviews Of Villa "Les Bernaches"

We had an absolutely wonderful 2 weeks in the villa. The location is absolutely perfect with great beaches on the doorstep. It was great to have a beach we could walk to but the village is a perfect base for biking round the island too. The house is a great size, very clean, well equipped and has a lovely big garden. It was great to be able to eat outside with a great barbecue although the biggest bonus was the outdoor shower which meant we didn't spend all holiday sweeping up sand! We will definitely be coming here again next time we visit Ile de Re.

Very well appointed and equipped house; large and interesting garden which is secure (walled, with high gates to street) for small children to roam and play. Hot/cold outside shower particularly helpful for after the beach.
Decent broadband (wired, or wireless) connection.
The beach at the end of the road (c. 800m; 10 mins stroll, or a few moments by bike) is endless with a large tidal range with rock pools at lowest tide. There are a range of access points through the dunes.
The village centre, with bike hire shops, daily market, cash point and small Carrefour, is also a 10 min stroll away. The wine growers' co-op is also within 1km.
St Martin and La Courade 15 mins by bike, 20 mins to La Flotte, overwhelmingly on dedicated bike-only tarmac away from roads.
Countryside and salt pans/marshes were very peaceful with many beautiful birds (stilts, egrets, herons, kites, harriers, shelducks, etc)
We visited in early-mid June; typically 21-24 degrees by day and mostly sunny. The market and village were busy on weekend mornings, but the beach was far too spacious to be crowded even if busy.

This is a lovely house with great outdoor spaces in an excellent location.
It is close to the beach and the town of le bois plage is a short stroll away. We would highly recommend it.
