Out of this world - incredible place with an superlative garden and wonderful owner
Tranquillity in Anglet, privacy beyond your wildest dreams, fabulous and incredibly helpful owner, a garden from paradise which takes your breath away, a great swimming pool. You will not find a property in Anglet that matches this one, and it is surrounded by woods and wildlife - truly magnificent.
Kevan and his family were model tenants that I recommend: Calm, discreet, very respectful of the house and the garden which they greatly appreciated. It is with great pleasure that I would welcome them again.
We spent 5 weeks in this villa and were enchanted with it every minute of our stay. The main attraction is living in a beautiful garden totally secluded in a forest and yet within easy reach to civilisation. The pool, the garden and the surrounding forest are just too beautiful for words. Even the pictures do not do them full justice. The inside is rather simply but tastefully furnished. At first glance we had the impression that the interior was somewhat less posh than expected from such a property but soon enough we discovered that everything was arranged in the best taste and comfort. Most of the time we were alone on the whole property (the owner being away) and enjoyed the liberty and privacy. For a few days we were joined by our family and the house offered ample accommodation and fun for six. It is not a cheap place to rent, especially not in the season, but if you can afford it I recommend it wholeheartedly.
We very much appreciated the quietness of these guests and the respectful use of the property. It is an encouragement to continue our efforts to maintain this property as a beautyful and exceptional place.
Property is in beautiful location as described, very well maintained and supplied. However - few inaccuracies in description, first of alls, there is NO AIR CONDITIONER. Not even fan, we had few uncomfortable nights when temperatures creeped towards +30 and it is always very humid there. Secondly it is not the villa per se that you rent, but annex to the main villa that is occupied by owner. Pool is only allowed to use between 10 and 7PM. No ball games due to a lot of plants and landscaped garden which can be an issue if you are with young children. You have to take out your garbage to the public bins that are 15 mins walk away. Owner lays rules down on your arrival, there are quite few of them. With him being on site full time and trying to stay out of your way and with all these numerous rules (there is printed list of them in living room if your memory does not serve you well) you cannot escape feeling you are invading someones privacy. I think property would benefit if owner saw himself not just a landlord but a host as well. Overall we had a very pleasant and enjoyable stay, owner was pleasant and helpful and environment is out of this world. However due to inaccuracies in property marketing description makes us feel that it was overpriced and we did not quite get what we thought we were paying for. Highly recommended for quiet and peaceful stay, might be tricky with a bit more active children.
Thank you very much for your good review and your comments. You are right there is no air conditioner but automatic air ventilation in all rooms of the house. The English translation from French was not accurate we corrected it. Anyway, it is less hot in the house as it is located in a pine forest and also less humid with our automatic air ventilation. You must know that this country in South West France near the ocean is sometime humid and hot, particularly when you stayed here. But you were lucky and you enjoyed sun and blue sky everyday. You had to take out your garbage to the public bins because there is no collect in the forest, or you had to book a maid for everything. The house rules and information about the house is a must and very helpful for the guests, they can be downloaded before booking. The owner or another person stays sometimes in the second house of the property for maintenance of pool and garden and to help the guests, it is stated in the description of Homeaway. We always respect the quietness and privacy of our guests, they have their own private entrance, private garden and exclusive use of the pool. You are right the property is not very suitable for loud children playing football between the flowers. The price is according to the official 4 stars rating by the tourism office. But again, you say in your comments: "We had a very pleasant and enjoyable stay, owner was pleasant and helpful and environment is out of this world". That is the positive and most important summary of your statement.
Des le premier contact avec Mr. Fischnaller, les demarches se sont deroulees simplement et efficacement.
Nous avons ete acceuillis en personne par Mr. Alexandre qui nous a donne le toiur de la propriete.
Mon epouse, ma mere, mon fils de 12 ans et moi-meme avons passes dix jours "a la campagne" tout en etant en meme temps a deux minutes de la halle de Blancpignon, boulangerie, marchand de journaux, restaurants etc...
I grew up in the Basque Country, was very familiar with the area, took morning walks across the forest to reach the Ocean. I would recommand this property to anyone; the pictures do not tell th ewhole story: the grounds are amazing, the lay out perfect.it was a pleasure to deal with the owner, checking out was a breeze, I would not hesitate to call this place: paradise :-).
I would book this property for vacation again.

KĂŒchenausstattung ist sehr alt und teilweise nicht funktionsfĂ€hig. FĂŒr diesen Mietpreis dĂŒrfte man eine bessere Ausstattung der KĂŒche und Infrastruktur erwarten.
Wir bedauern dass die KĂŒchenausstattung teilweise nicht funktionsfĂ€hig war, dies betrifft nur das Kochfeld auf welchem eine von vier Kochplatten ausgefallen ist, dies konnte nicht sofort repariert werden weil Handwerker im Sommer nicht sofort verfĂŒgbar sind. Die KĂŒche selbst ist sonst gut ausgestattet und wurde von keinem Mieter beanstandet. Wir freuen uns dass sonst alles in diese wunderschöne Ferienanlage die mit 3 Sternen ausgezeichnet bestens fĂŒr diesen Mieter war.
Sehr schönes Anwesen in einem abgelegenen WaldstĂŒck. ĂuĂerst gepflegte sehr schöne AuĂenanlage. Die Innenausstattung ist gut. Die Beschreibung bei FeWo trifft es sehr gut (bitte genau lesen). Die Queensize-Betten sind eher schmal. Alle notwendigen GerĂ€te vorhanden. Alexandre ist ein sehr freundlicher und behilflicher Gastgeber, der sehr viel Wert auf die Pflege seines Anwesens legt und das auch von seinen GĂ€sten erwartet. Obwohl er auf dem GrundstĂŒck wohnt hat man uneingeschrĂ€nkte PrivatsphĂ€re. Check-in und check-out völlig problemlos.
Insgesamt: jederzeit wieder.
A tranquil oasis set in the middle of a pine forest.
Secluded setting with a lovely pool in a beautiful garden with palm trees.
A perfect place to relax but with easy access for days out in the local area.
Great variety of local restaurants and shops within walking distance of the villa.
Lovely walks through the pine forest to the beach at Anglet.
The spacious villa was clean and comfortable offering 3 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a well equipped kitchen with a private space for eating outside.
The owner was very welcoming and helpful and resides in the adjoining property but kept himself to himself.
We had a wonderful week of rest and relaxation.
We very much appreciated this beautiful house close the beach. What a surprise on arrival: We leave the ordinary for a rare environment: We access to the property on a private trail that winds through a little pinewoods. After 200 meters, a magnificent secluded property appears, surrounded by a beautiful, exotic garden with palm trees and flowers everywhere. This calm, concealed property is ideally situated, void of traffic, with many activities in walking distance: It is just 1 mile from the beautiful and large sandy beach of Anglet, shops and supermarket at 500 paces, even the forest exercise path can be directly accessed from the property. Other close activities include: Golf, tennis, horse riding, fishing, sailing, skate parks and surfing. A warm welcome by the owner, followed by privileged info about local life awaits. The house was very clean, comfortable bedding and cosy furnishing. All the windows open upon garden or forest. The well-equipped, practical kitchen communicates with the living room which opens up to an outside veranda covered by a glass roof inviting open air dining. On the lawn a few meters away, the bamboo pavilion invites relaxation. All is well thought out. It is a Provencal style home with a lovely pool rippled by water cascading from a decorative vase and an Italian style fountain genuflecting before a knoll hugged by hydrangeas. We highly appreciated our stay and we hope to return as soon as possible.
Situation exceptionnelle au bout dÂŽun chemin privatif dans le calme dÂŽune pinĂšde, sans aucune circulation, sur un grand parc fleuri, avec une piscine et ses magnifiques couchers de soleil.
