The bedding is comfortable, and there is the necessary "vital" for cooking (salt, pepper, oil, herbal teas etc....) it's appreciated. Thank you!

VILLA DEL RE 3 in Residence with pool

AlisonRating, 5 stars30 months ago

As described. I recommend. There were 3 of us, we didn't have to be + (according to us). The fleet is a very charming village, the seaside are very pleasant. Restaurants, shops, possibility to have bikes. It has everything on site to enjoy and discover. It is easy to move from one place to another on the island. We recommend the restaurant, "your mouth laughs." Received at 12:15 p.m. without a reservation, we were made room. The food is very well prepared, the service is efficient, the professionals smiling. In short. Simple and efficient.

We had a great time at Barbara's place which matched the photos and description in every way. Very quiet residence, the closed garage is a real plus to leave the vehicle safe for the duration of the stay, especially since everything is within walking distance very quickly! Barbara has excellent advice and we were warmly welcomed. We would recommend it without hesitation to people we know wishing to come and stay in La Rochelle. Special mention for the bedding which is of excellent quality!

Francois' place was great, beautifully designed with a great indoor/outdoor flow between the spaces. The place was well equipped with lots of amenities and equipment to make the stay as easy and enjoyable as possible. We has one small issue but this was remedies very satisfactorily by Francois and so our trip was excellent and we would recommend this place to anyone who wanted to explore the Ile de Re. The location was great and our experience was that La Flotte was the perfect base on the Island, with a beautiful market every day and lovely shops, bars and restaurants.

We had a fantastic stay at Angela’s house. It is in a fantastic location, very tranquil but close to the heart of La Couarde. The house is beautifully furnished and very well equipped. Communication with Angele was excellent and she was very friendly and welcoming when we checked in. We loved our stay and will definitely book again when we come to the Île de Re.

The Compass

CarolineRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Flawless accommodation, very well-equipped kitchen, pleasant and spacious living area. The bathroom is a little small but it does the job very well. We stayed there in winter, so the location and outdoor vehicle traffic in relation to the noise was not particularly disturbing (double glazing). Very nice hosts, good advice. Parking, market, bakery, pharmacy, convenience store nearby (walking distance). Functional connection and wifi. No complaints, perfect stay for us!
