We have just had a very nice week at Belle Azure, we met the charming owners on arrival and found the house extremely clean, and very prettily decorated. However one point we were disappointed with was the number of bathrooms,The details state 3 bathrooms including one ensuite, we travelled with my parents who are in there 70's and had allocated them the room with the ensuite, when we arrived we realised it is not actually an ensuite but a shower and wash hand basin in the bedroom - no WC, we then went to look for the other 2 bathrooms only to find that there was only one, this was to share between 8 of us. We did manage ok but I do think the details on the sitte should be made clearer. The garden was lovely and very safe for our 4 year old and our teenagers loved the table tennis and basketball,With regard to the beach it is not 2 minutes walk rather 10 minutes walk away to what is an estuary with sand on it, and not a great view from there! The main beach is approx 30 minutes walk away for brisk walkers (an hour for the elderly) I would recomend this house but just feel its important that the details given are correct. |

An excellent property which more than met our expectations. The villa is very comfortable, tastefully decorated, extremely clean and is very well equipped. It was ideal for two small families or one large family. The spacious, enclosed garden was perfect for those with young children and the table tennis, basketball hoop and baby foot were a real hit with the bigger kids! We also appreciated the various toys, DVD's, sport & beach equipment provided for our use. The location of the property is great, its easy to walk to all the local amenities and of course the nearby little beach where the kids can swim and learn to sail. A little further is the ocean beach and La Faute where there are more shops, restaurants and cafes. All in all a wonderful villa, with a genial owner and an excellent service team - all of which ensured we had a great holiday. Many thanks |

The house and garden were very well equiped and stylishly decorated. The Kitchen had everything you could want. The children enjoyed the slide in the Garden and we enjoyed the BBQ. |
