A Gem!

We had a fantastic stay in this lovely, well appointed apartment. The apartment is in excellent order, very clean and well looked after, with a lovely large balcony overlooking the sea, and the wonderful muddle of Mediteranean style terracotta rooftops nearby. The property's agent, Eric, was exceptionally helpful, and turned up very quickly 'out of hours' with a key for my husband.
The beach just over the road provided hours of fun for our small boys, the rock pools are teeming with interesting creatures!
Within a few minutes walk there are shops, pharmacy's and lots of restaurants - most of which I can personally recommend!
Les Sables D'Olonne has an amazing long beach, and is a magnet for water sports enthusiasts. There are countless cafe's along the sea front, an ideal place to sit and watch the surf.The small cobbled streets are lined with an array of shops. We visited in October and November (for the start of the Vendee Globe Race) it was still T-shirt weather, very warm and sunny. Les Sables D'Olonne is one of France's gems!
Would we recommend this property to a friend - without a doubt! It is by far the best self catering apartment we have stayed in - it was such a pleasant surprise when we opened the front door.
I'm looking forward to my next visit already!
