We had a wonderful, relaxing week at Stéphanie and Franck's villa. The villa has a real home-from-home feel, with stylish décor, lots of indoor plants and every facility you could need. It's much nicer to stay in than a typical, characterless holiday rental.The villa was lovely and clean when we arrived, and Franck was there to greet us and show us around.The pool was fantastic and, with temperatures in the high 30s/low 40s whilst we were there, it was certainly well used! The good-sized gas BBQ was another highlight.A car is definitely recommended. There are several supermarkets (Intermarché Super in Andilly does great kebabs from the fresh meat counter for the BBQ!) and retail parks just a short drive away, and La Rochelle is only a 20 minute drive away for a day or evening out.For us, it was a week simply to relax after a busy week in Nantes and Puy du Fou, so we didn't explore much further afield, but the location worked perfectly for us.The only things we'd suggest to make an already excellent villa even better would be a fan in each bedroom for exceptionally hot nights (or air conditioning, if ever installed) and a couple of sun loungers by the pool. There is outdoor seating and a large dining table, but it would have been lovely to have somewhere to lie down and soak up the sunshine.Overall, a fantastic villa that we'd happily recommend.
