We had a great stay with our children and grand child in the very beautiful and spacious villa at a few steps from the sandy beach. The accomodation was very clean and cosy with nice west facing sunny terrasses around the nice heated pool. All you need for a perfect holiday!
Great house in a perfect location. 30 meters to the beach
We stayed in this house for a week during August 2018 and had a great holiday. We have visited the island several times and this is the best property we have found. Excellent all round.
The property has everything you need for a luxurious stay in this house. Lots of room with everything beautifully presented and of extremely high quality. Just a stones throw from the beach. Every room is very tastefully presented.
Das absolut perfekte Ferienhaus. Besser geht nicht. Herzlichen Dank an Sylvie fĂŒr so eine wundervolle und perfekte Betreuung vor Ort. Wir wĂŒnschen Ihnen fĂŒr die Zukunft alles Gute und wir sehen uns bestimmt wieder auf der Ăle de Re đ
Our first time to Ile de Re and a short flight from Manchester to La Rochelle airport. Small and friendly airport which we passed through in under 15 minutes! Silvie organised a private taxi which was waiting for us on our arrival, a short transfer and we were at our house within 20 minutes. Excellent location we had the beach 50 metres away, bus stop 5 minute walk, shops and market 10 minute walk and we only needed a taxi once for the whole week. Buses were regular and inexpensive however they can be late, busy and a little unreliable. Fun Bike hire was a ten minute walk away and we hired bikes for the whole family for three days, they were really friendly, English speaking and couldn't be more helpful. We cycled to La Flotte and St Martin where there are beautiful shops and restaurants. We had a special family dinner at Hotel de Torois in St Martin which we can highly recommend if the budget will stretch. Our house was perfect and very thoughtfully designed with complimentary wine and biscuits on arrival. A great holiday, we will brush up on our French next time as this island is popular with the Parisians and you need to have a good grasp of French if you want to get the most out of your stay. Merci Silvie and we hope your father gets better soon. Breda, Guy and family x

Wonderful!
Both the villa and Ile De Re are fabulous. The accommodation is very spacious, well equipped and maintained to a very high standard. Excellent swimming pool with comfortable loungers in a lovely garden. Plenty of interesting little spaces ideal for hide and seek. We made ample use of the excellent barbecue with plenty of high quslty fresh produce on the doorstep. Altogether perfect for a three generation holiday with the pool table providing for fierce competition throughout the week!
And all this just a step away from the big sandy beach. Walk past the refreshment kiosk and right under the underpass to arrive in super Rivedoux Plage with the daily market, boulangerie, charcuterie, bars, restaurant, supermarket and cycle hire.
Try the Creperie in Rivedoux Plage or for more choice and an excellent sunset cross over to the North side with a couple of excellent restaurants looking out to sea.
We were glad not to have a hire car. The island is designed for cycling and walking; or to venture further try the hop on hop off 1⏠bus service.
A visit to La Flotte is a must for great harbourside restaurants, ice cream and holiday shopping. And even more of the same at St Martin where an obligatory climb up the ancient clock tower gives great views across Ile De Re as far as the magnificent Bridge to the main land. We loved the superb Marine restaurant here.
Next stop along is Le Boue which appears to be the most popular beach with a very good children's playground.
All in all a beautiful holiday island. There are no amusement arcades and little evidence of lively night life but everybody is friendly, helpful and appear determined to make everybody's holiday as enjoyable as possible.
Thanks to Sylvie and Emily for your kind hospitality at Villa Rhea.
Excellent accommodation and very helpful owner. We had a marvellous time and would love to go back! Everything was close at hand, and both the beach and the garden/swimming pool were great for the children.
Our first visit to Il De Re.The villa was exceptional ,every thing you needed was available and the quality first class. We will definitely make a return visit.
A wonderful place to stay with a lovely pool. The villa is located conveniently just next to the beach too. My husband and I and our 1.5 year old daughter enjoyed ourselves and the propertyâs modern secure facilities
What a wonderful villa , spacious , spotlessly clean & superbly equipped. A large safe , sandy beach is just a short walk away, there are good restaurants and a well stocked supermarket within easy reach. The garden of the villa is private, very tidy & fully enclosed . The heated swimming pool is a huge bonus ,
There were 6 adults & a 2 yr old in our party. With 4 bedrooms & 3 bath / shower rooms life was very relaxed.
We were very lucky with the weather and the barbecue came in handy.
None of us had visited Ile de Re before and we are looking forward to a reunion. It was great not having to hire a car, we were happy to walk & hire bicycles. Thanks to Sylvie we were collected from & returned to La Rochelle airport
The locals were friendly and Sylvie could not have been more helpful.
Fantastic accommodation, great location, Villa finished to a high standard.
Enjoyed our week at the Villa Rhea in Rivedoux-Place on the Ile de Ri. Accommodation was fantastic and in a great location to the beach and local shops. The Villa was spotlessly clean and everything was finished to a very high standard. There was plenty of room for everybody and we received a warm and friendly welcome from our hosts. Spent many hours together around the pool table. The only downside was not having access to the swimming pool due to being so early in the season. Hopefully we can return in the future during warmer weather. A must is to hire bikes as the island is very cycle friendly with plenty of cycle only routes all over the island.
Would definately recommend this accommodation if you're thinking of stopping in Rivedoux-Place.
Beautiful Villa with every you need on the wonderful enchanted island, Ile de Re!
The property is comfortable, clean, modern and a beautiful home away from home. It is peaceful and private with a wonderful pool and the beach across the road. We had everything we needed at a 5-star hotel quality. The owner Sylvie was close on hand if needed although we did not need to contact her as everything was perfect.
My husband and I cannot wait to return!
Absolutely stunning villa with first class attention to detail.
We have spent our holidays in France for many years. Having three children usually we go camping. However this year with other family we decided to stay in a villa.
We found this beautiful villa and decided to stay during two weeks in August. The villa can only be described as stunning. Prime location for the beach and supermarket. Ideal also for exploring the beautiful island. The host was very friendly and she should be congratulated on her presentation and lay out of the villa. Attention to detail was first class. Thankyou very much for one of the best holidays we have had. Highly recommended.
