Rural Semi-detached Farmhouse / near Coast in Sunny Vendee sleeps up to 10

L’Octaviere Bleue is a stone built farmhouse, situated in quiet countryside, 3km outside the pretty village of La Chapelle Achard in a small scattered hamlet of about 20 dwellings. The farmhouse is well furnished and decorated, with art work from the owner displayed throughout. It is attached to the French-speaking caretaker’s house and has its own extensive private gardens set in an orchard, with nice, relaxing views across fields and woods. There are many romantic walks near this self-catering summer holiday rental villa. The garden has its own terrace with garden furniture, leading to an area with a large free-standing barbeque, all set in an orchard. There is a boules area in the large side garden. Les Sables d’Olonne, the nearby local seaside town, which is well-known for its beaches, with the Remblai promenade (all sorts of evening entertainments in the high season), and its working harbour, overlooked by a street of over 20 restaurants, most of which offer local fish delicacies.

Our Holiday

Holiday 2008, Cleveland, England
Review Submitted: August 13, 2008, Date of stay: July, 2008

As a family of 5, our children 15 and twins of 11 we enjoyed our holiday and the pool was a great bonus. The property is well equipt, well maintained and was very clean. The gargen is large with a large brick BBQ with extra table. A car is essential, we also took the children's bikes as there are adult bikes at the property, the roads around the property and into the village are quiet and there are cycle routes. Some nice beaches with rock pools 30mins away, but there are beaches closer. Sables de L'Onnes busy seaside town.
A quiet location in the middle of the countryside and very dark at night!
I would recomend the propery and would consider going back again if we were to visit this part of France again.
Our children were happy with the pool, beaches and sight seeing as well as evenings out but we are family who likes to get away from it all when we are on holiday.
