Best for:
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
• The villas are not luxury - despite what other websites may say. They are simple inside and work really well for easy beach holidays
• 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.
