What makes Villa Ardea a great holiday rental
Villa Ardea is a modernised holiday house for up to 8 people in the lighthouse district of Cap Ferret village, a few minutes' walk from the shops and restaurants of the centre. The dining and kitchen areas open onto a north-west-facing terrace for eating alfresco. Beaches, the superb local market and good restaurants are a walk away. Villa Ardea is a great place to enjoy this unique corner of France.
Best for:
Families and groups of friends wanting an easy holiday where everything you need is a walk or cycle away, in one of France's most chic destinations and which is laid-back too.
Suitability for:
- Toddlers - cot & high chair available. Grounds are enclosed. Care may be needed on open staircase.
- Teenagers - a walk to beaches, cafés and nightlife. Many activities locally.
- Reduced mobility - level entrance (apart from step on terrace), downstairs bedroom & shower room.
Anything to watch out for?
Villa Ardea adjoins another rental property, Maison des Hérons, on the east side; the owners have been meticulous about ensuring the best possible insulation from neighbouring noise and visual screening so you are not overlooked. In July & August the owners live in a nearby apartment and are on-hand for help or information if required, but will otherwise leave you in complete privacy.
Why Cap Ferret?
Cap Ferret village is one of France's chic-est holiday destinations featuring smart boutiques, cafés and restaurants in a low-rise, laid-back setting - the ambience is casual, relaxed but appreciative of good living. The bay is renowned for sailing & oysters, the Atlantic beach is superb. It's easy to get around. It's an Aquitaine gem.
Accommodation
Villa Ardea is a modern, tastefully decorated house adjoining another of the owner's rentals, Maison des Herons, on one side. There is excellent interior sound-proofing and good screening outside so that neither house overlooks the other.
Inside
The house is reached via an enclosed garden at the front of the property, gated from the road outside. The entrance porch leads via double doors into the downstairs area comprising:
· Good sized living/dining room, with extendable dining table and chairs for up to 10 people
· A small kitchen opening onto the terrace, equipped with dishwasher, washing machine, oven, 4-ring hob, microwave, fridge
· Lounge/reading room
· Bedroom 1: double bed, with built-in cupboards
· Shower room
Upstairs:
Open stairs lead to the first floor and:
· Bedroom 2: double bed, with built-in cupboards
· Bedroom 3: bunk beds and built-in cupboards
· Bedroom 4: twin beds (can make a double), shelves
· Mezzanine area/TV corner with single bed
· Bathroom, plus separate WC
Outside
The porch at the front of the house doubles as a very pleasant outside sitting and eating area - with two sets of double-doors into the house it also nicely extends the space inside, and is directly accessed from the kitchen as well as the dining/living area. The porch is raised from the front garden by a single step; the gardens are partly-paved, partly-unmade ground, with a small grassy area, totally enclosed and have plenty of playing space for children. There is a barbecue, garden furniture and parasol.
The owner Caroline is, like us, passionate about Cap Ferret and will be delighted to share her enthusiasm and knowledge with you. Speaking from experience, it is infectious!
