Fishing and golf are also catered for within easy distance. If history is your interest, why not visit and tour the abbeys and chateaux in the local vicinity, or check out the museums. The local restaurants are a 'must' on any holiday, and the Vendee is no exception. Choose from the simple but cheap, to the gourmet eateries that are located all around.

Beautiful House

Tufty Guernsey
Review Submitted: May 29, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2007
We really enjoyed our stay at la Fleur de Lys. The house was very attractive, immaculate and tastefully decorated by the very dedicated owners. The pool was nice and warm and the barbeque area was excellent and used regularly. There was plenty to do in the surrounding area for everyone and the children loved it. Would strongly recommend this to those wishing to explore the beautiful Vendee region. We enjoyed our stay so much that we booked for the following year as soon as we returned home!

Owner's Response: We love to have these reviews from our customers. It not only gives us great satisfaction to know that our clients enjoyed their stay, but also makes us try harder to improve the facilities to make their stay even more memorable.With this in mind, we are constantly making changes and amendments to up-grade the property, the accommodation and the leisure facilities.

Perfect retreat

Hellmutt Lichfield
Review Submitted: September 28, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2008
We have been now on at least 3 separate occasions. The house is beautiful, very tastefully decorated, & more than adequately equipped. The gardens & pool area, in keeping with the rest of the property, are well maintained & the owners work tirelessly to ensure it stays that way. The property is situated near to Fontenay, a reasonable sized town where all services & facilities are available, but in a charming little village, so it remains peaceful. The beautiful beaches of La Tranche & Les Sables d'Olonne are within easy reach as is the town of La Rochelle, steeped in history, with lots to see & do,& where the local cuisine is outstanding. The town of Cognac is also worth a visit.The roads are pretty well deserted except in major towns, & the local people have always been friendly & very helpful.
To summarise, you get 5-star accomodation, your own pool, & everything you need, in an area where there is something for everyone, which caters for but is not swarming with tourists. Simply Brilliant! We will return

Visit to the Vendee

Crosspatch Chichester
Review Submitted: July 20, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
On arrival at the House we discovered that the Owners, who live on site kept two dogs. This was expanded to three when a friends Dog arrived for a one week stay. The fact that Dogs were kept on site was not disclosed in the original details. This was a major setback to our enjoyment and should have been disclosed. This property is not suitable for small children as a consequence.
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Pet-friendly, Families with Teenagers
Owner's Response: The vast majorty of our guests are actually pleased to see our extremey gentle dogs. We always make a point of asking the guests if they have a problem with dogs, and if they do, we ensure that they are kept away from the guests at all times. Crosspatch did not indicate a problem until a day or so later, when we immediately secured the dogs. We are sorry that Crosspatch felt unhappy with the situation,and sorry that they had to leave early because ther baby had a virol infection. The rest of the group seemed to thoroughly enjoy their stay.
We have had many families with babies and small children, never having had any similar complaints, so I disagree strongly that this is not a suitable holiday venue for families with any age of children! (Please see other reviews from our extremely satisfied customers.)

Fabulously Luxurious Holiday House

mynonna ELY
Review Submitted: July 14, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Our extended family had the most amazingly comfortable holiday experience in this wonderful house. VERY WELL equiped and beautifully decorated with everything we could possibly want to make us feel very much at home. The bonus of having ensuite/individual bathrooms was such a bonus. The pool was sheer luxury and very much appreciated. The bikes came in very handy for those times when a trip to the village for 'supplies' were needed by the men folk. Our boys loved having the owners dogs around, and they always seemed to sniff us out al fresco meal times!!!! Lots to seek out in the area, beautiful bike rides and punting, and of course, the beaches. Being in this lovely village in Harvest time was lovely and the busyness of the farmers was not at all intrusive. Overall we can say 10/10 to Hugh and Gill for being fantastic hosts to our family. We would love to come and stay again if the opportunity arose and are very confident about our recommendation for this lovely property.
