About this property

Detached villa in Les Mathes with private heated pool - Villa Cachée (Sleeps 10)

Jayne and Andrew welcome you to their detached villa on the outskirts of Les Mathes.

The villa is perfectly located for your holiday in the Charente Maritime. We are 900m from Les Mathes centre with it's boulangerie, bar, market, and SPAR supermarket and 10 minutes (6km) from the lovely seaside resort of La Palmyre with it's wide variety of bars and shops. Large supermarkets are also just 10 minutes away in Arvert and La Tremblade.

The coast here offers miles and miles of sandy beaches, forest trails and activities for all members of the family. For children of all ages, July and August sees the opening of the seasonal fair 'Luna Park' which is a simple 8 minute drive away.

The large seaside resort of Royan is 11 miles away with La Rochelle airport 48 miles away, just over an hour dependent upon traffic.

The villa rests at the end of our private driveway and is almost hidden from the quiet road - hence the name Villa Cachée which means 'Hidden Villa'. This is our retreat in France and accordingly our guests will find everything they need for a relaxing family holiday - because that's what we want from our holiday home.

We have 4 bedrooms. A family room with a double bed and bunk beds, and 3 doubles. All the double beds have comfortable pocket sprung mattresses and there is a large wardrobe in each bedroom. The family room benefits from French windows that open directly onto the patio. The family rooms is fully self contained with it's own ensuite shower room. and tea making facilities.

The accommodation also has 2 fully equipped modern shower rooms besides the en-suite in the family room.

The large 32m2 open plan living area incorporates a fully equipped kitchen (oven, hob, washing machine, dishwasher, fridge / freezer, microwave) dining area with table and 8 chairs, and sitting area with 2 large 4-seater sofas.

We have a 43" LCD TV with satellite receiver (All non-premium UK and French channels). In addition we have a playstation games console. The TV also has a soundbar attached that offers Bluetooth connection to your mobile phones so you can play your own music.

The villa also benefits from free WIFI (Router located in living area).

We have electric fans for each room and electric heating for those visiting the villa during the cooler months.

Outside we have secure parking for at least 3 cars, a large tiled patio area for alfresco dining. The patio extends around the swimming pool and we have 10 sun loungers around the pool. The private, 8m x 4m, pool is heated and is available from 1st of May to the end of September. It has a level floor approx. 1250mm deep making it ideal for playing games.

Bed linen and towels can be provided at an additional cost via the agency that looks after the villa for us.

Post stay cleaning is now included in the cost of rental.

The minimum rental period during peak periods is a week, off peak we can be more flexible.

Lovely holiday home
We had a lovely stay in this very well equipped villa. Although relatively compact inside, the outside garden and pool area more than make up for it. As the property has few neighbours and is on the edge of a wood, peace and calm are guaranteed, yet the villa is still close enough to all amenities. The owners and housekeepers was helpful and friendly, so overall a wonderful holiday.

Idéale pour être au calme
Maison vraiment au calme, on a apprécié. Les chambres sont petites, la literie est de qualité. Pas de sèche-linge comme indiqué sur l'annonce (cela ne nous a pas manqué). Cuisine très petite, on n'y tient qu'à deux, nous n'avons pas pu préparer ensemble les repas comme on aime faire, dommage. Pas de moule à gateaux/tartes, pas assez de verres à vin, sinon tout l'essentiel est disponible. La piscine est très bien mais un peu frais vers la fin de notre séjour - peut-être le problème de la pompe à chaleur qu'on nous a signalé (le dernier jour) ou simplement la méteo? Quelques finitions à revoir: mauvaises herbes qui poussent aux abords de la piscine; la fenêtre d'une des salles de douche est en mauvais état; les moustiquaires soit ne s'ouvrent pas, soit ne ferment pas... ces détails ne nous ont pas empêché d'apprécier notre séjour. Propriétaire très proactif et aimable, Andrew nous a toujours répondu très rapidement.

Ferienhaus in ruhiger Umgebung zum Entspannen
Insgesamt gesehen hat das Ferienhaus unseren Erwartungen entsprochen. Das Ferienhaus liegt in einer sehr ruhigen Gegend, am Ortsrand von Les Mathes. Bäcker, Supermarkt, Apotheke, Strände sind mit dem Auto in maximal 15 Minuten erreichbar. Einziger Wermutstropfen war, dass das Ferienhaus in den Zimmern Spinnenweben hatte und die Räume und der Pool für uns nicht sauber genug waren. Hier hätten wir eine gründlichere Endreinigung erwartet.

Perfekte Erholung
Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt (zwei Erwachsene und drei Teenager). Die Villa Cachée ist perfekt ausgestattet - besonders haben wir den Außenbereich mit dem tollen Pool, der Tischtennisplatte und den vielen Relaxliegen und dem weiteren Außenmobiliar genossen. Erholung pur. Nur zu empfehlen - Top!

About the host

Hosted by Andrew Haywood

Host profile image
Jayne and I both live in England, in the Midlands, and both love France and go as many times as we can during the year. I, whilst nearing retirement, currently own a small software company providing software to the UK's NHS. We have 3 children and currently have 5 grandchildren. Like us, they all choose France as their destination of choice and we all try and get to the villa at least once a year.

Why they chose this property

For 20 years we have been travelling to La Palmyre with our now all grown up family. We used to stay in mobile homes and then gites and always wanted a place of our own. So 2015 we started our search and after many months of searching this villa was found. It was tucked away at the end of a long drive and only had one bedroom but it was location, location, location - so we took the plunge.

From February 2016 to July we extended and renovated the place, adding 2 bedrooms and a shower room. We also added a swimming pool.

We had our first guests late August 2016.

This is our Holiday Home in France and we have made it comfortable for our family, having all the facilities we need to have a relaxing and enjoyable hotel. This makes the place an excellent property for our guests.

In 2021 we bought some adjacent land from our neighbour and from May 2022 we have a brand new swimming pool (8m x 4m) and an additional 20m2 family bedroom. We have also taken the opportunity to upgrade the quality and extend the patio.
