Active families who want easy access to the beach and plenty of activities. Outside the summer season the la Prade villas are popular with golfers.

Suitability for:

• Toddlers - baby kit available for hire. All pools are protected, generally by alarm or cover, rather than fence
• Teenagers - plenty of activities, a great surfing beach and sea-front cafes and club
• Reduced mobility - always a bedroom and bathroom on ground floor

Anything to watch out for?

Gardens are not always enclosed. Please note that BBQs are prohibited at Moliets because of the forest fire risk. You can use an electric plancha though - cheap, portable ones can be found in local supermarkets.

Why Moliets?
Moliets is known as something of an oasis amongst the endless pines of western Europe's largest forest. It's basically a big playground!  Activities include: surfing, cycling, golf, tennis, adventure parc, horse-riding, kayaking, etc etc. Many places of interest are within an hour's drive. It's an ideal destination for an active and varied seaside holiday.

Service: Palvelu on erinomaista, nopeaa ja tehokasta. Kaikki toimii aikataulun mukaan, ohjeet selkeitä, nettisivut hyvät.

Product: Talo tilava ja siisti. Keittiö hyvin varusteltu, sisustus yksinkertainen mutta toimiva. Uima-allas erittäin hyvä lukuunottamatta melko hankalaa avausmekanismia. Talon Wi-Fi huono.

Service: Phone Alternative Aquitaine after losing a booked villa via another company at last minute. They supplied me with a list of properties still available that met our requirements in 15 minutes and having choose one it was booked within 30 minutes. Really excellent service.

Product: Great to have a reception where you can get holiday information every day. A couple of minor issues with items in villa which they had a man come and fix within the hour. Excellent service.
