Les Atlantes

What Makes Les Atlantes A Great Holiday Rental

• Fabulous location next to famous Hossegor beach
• Enclosed balcony with fantastic views
• Good quality, recently renovated, well-equipped
• Walk or bike-ride to cafés, restaurants, shops & market

Best For:

The apartment location has just the right balance, right by the sea and close to amenities without things being too built-up.  The views are amazing. It's really most comfortable for 4 or 5 people - families (especially with older kids), couples, groups of friends, surfers, beach-lovers of any description will all love it.

Suitability for:

• Toddlers: the balcony is enclosed and with windows shut is completely safe; lift access, push-chair storage area
• Teenagers: will love the location, lots to do nearby, easy to be independent
• Reduced mobility: lift access to the apartment (2nd floor), all on single level

Anything To Watch Out For

The sofa bed sleeping area doesn't offer much privacy - best suited to a child/teenager. Not on a busy street but some outside noise is to be expected.

Why Hossegor?

Stylish resort known for surfing and family holidays, offers great beaches, good shopping, a lovely lagoon and plenty of activities (surf, golf, tennis, cycling, sailing & more).

Accommodation

Nicely-renovated apartment, well-equipped with fabulous sea views

Les Atlantes is a 2nd floor apartment, entirely renovated in January 2017, accessed by lift in a secure apartment building with barrier entry and parking.

The apartment is well-equipped, including air-conditioning & wifi, and features a large enclosed balcony extending from the living room - giant sliding windows & a large awning make it feel outside. Overall it is a good size (65m2) and newly furnished to a very good standard. The bedding is new, sheets are high quality.

The small entrance hall leads in to the living room with corner kitchen - it's a lovely light room (south & west facing) with panoramic views of the forest, the Pyrenees (on a clear day) and the ocean to the west.

There is a coffee table plus two sofas seating four altogether. A dining table seating six, with lovely sea views through the window, separates the sitting area from the open-plan kitchen.

This room opens through to the enclosed balcony, with raised table and 6 stools for an aperitif, breakfast or light meal, and two attractive loungers.

The corner kitchen is brand new and fully equipped (fridge, hob, microwave/grill, coffee maker, kettle, etc), with beautiful views west.

There are two bedrooms:

- A parental suite (west-facing) with views towards the ocean. There is a small enclosed balcony which makes a perfect reading or coffee corner. A comfortable large double bed (160cm), plus small dressing area and ensuite shower room.
- A twin room with two single beds (90cm) which can be joined to make a 180 cm double, dressing area and a south facing views to the ocean.

Sliding doors lead from the twin room to closed off area of the balcony, containing a double sofa bed which can sleep 1 or 2 more if needed. Both the twin room and this balcony sleeping area have blackout curtains to provide some privacy, though it is probably best suited as spillover sleeping space for children or teenagers.

There is a separate good quality bathroom with bath and double sink, small laundry room with washing machine. Separate WC.

There is a room for storing bikes at ground floor in the building. On the landing outside the apartmenty is a small room for storing surfboards and other beach equipment.

The Local Area

The local region of Sud Landes is typical Aquitaine - endless stretches of sandy eaches buffeted by the Atlantic ocean, vast pine forests punctuated by the occasional lake and criss-crossed by a network of cycle trails.

Hossegor is known largely through its surfing pedigree. It's a 'feelgood' place offering boutique shopping, great bars and restaurants, world-famous surfing beaches, casino, a lovely golf course and a beautiful lagoon for safe bathing and sailing.

Neighbouring Capbreton is a short cycle ride away and boasts a modern marina, bustling port home to the  daily fish market and surrounded by seafood restaurants.

Following the continuous beach a short way up the coast you come to the Seignosse-Ocean spots of Les Estagnots, Bourdaines and Le Penon, with several more beach bars & restaurants, and bit of nightlife and a water park.

Service: Alternative Aquitaine is a great company to deal with. Response time is quick and information about rental properties seem honest and they do seem to know all the properties. Thank you Justin for making this book experience so easy. I'd highly recommend dealing with this company.
