Perfect holiday house with pool.
Family of 4 (kids 15y & 6y).The house is one of 3 but situated such that it is private from the other properties. Very clean and well equipped. Hosts lovely, gave us a welcome coffee, sugar and eggs and very helpful. Pool is FABULOUS! Definitely recommend for families. Don't forget to bring your own towels

Quiet and relaxing
All necessities for a lovely holiday, simple and quiet. Ideal for the very young, with goats and chickens to feed and a swimming pool. La Roche nearby is good to visit and Challans market, but the gite offers a lazy and gentle relaxation.

Lovely rural gite with a traditional French experience
Lovely welcoming host who are close by but not intrusive and will help with anything you need. The gites are well equipped but remember to take your own towels, hand towels and dish towels. There is a lovely pool that you share with two other gites. There is a barn which houses fusbol and table tennis. There is a small fishing lake surrounded by goats, chickens, sheep and horses.
1.5km from the gite is a large supermarket and petrol station. The nearby village is lovely and there are beaches approximately 35 minutes drive away.
Thank you for our lovely holiday.

Gîte très agréable
Le gîte est propre, spacieux et la piscine chauffée est bien grande. Il est aussi bien situé, pas loin du Puy du fou et pas loin non plus de l'île de Noirmoutier. Il y a tout ce qu'il faut au niveau vaisselle et rangement. Le WiFi fonctionne bien. Nous avons pu discuter avec la propriétaire qui est fort sympathique. Elle nous avait préparé un gâteau de la région. Je recommande cette location.

Heerlijke plek om te verblijven
Deze vakantiewoning is een aanrader voor wie van comfort en rust houdt. Mooie en ruime woning en van alle gemakken voorzien. Bedden wel aan de harde kant, wat een klein nadeel is. Verder alles top. Veel van het mooie zwembad genoten, deze is ruim en verwarmd. Alles heel netjes. Locatie op een mooie en rustige plek in natuurlijke omgeving. Grote supermarkt en bakker op enkele minuten rijden, wat ideaal is.
Voor de stranden/kust moet je een stukje rijden, ongeveer 40 minuten.

Séjour agréable dans un site exceptionnellement calme
Les prestations du gîte sont de très bonne qualité et les propriétaires accueillant et à l'écoute. L'environnement particulièrement calme (on entend que les bruits de la nature environnante) a été malheureusement terni par la présence de voisins locataires à l'année peu discrets.
Alors que la mer n'atteignait que 18-19° durant notre séjour, la piscine chauffée était un vrai plus et assez grande pour y faire quelques brasses.
A proximité du gîte des commerces facilement atteignables même en vélo et pleins d'idées de visite pour découvrir la région.
Nous conseillons vivement ce séjour bien connu déjà de certains habitués semble-t-il...

Très bon séjour au gîte Mathilde 👍👍
Nous avons passé une semaine très agréable au gîte Mathilde.
Les propriétaires sont très sympathiques et disponibles. Le gîte est très bien équipé et confortable. Le point fort est la piscine grande et bien entretenue et le coin « jardin privé » ainsi que sa terrasse nous fait bien profiter de l extérieur . Pour les courses une grande surface est à moins de 5 minutes du gîte et la mer a 40 minutes environ. Très bon séjour
