☼ Le Farniente - A beautiful house next to the harbor and the aquarium ☼

Very pleasant townhouse, modern and bright, totally redone and decorated with care.
Ideally located to visit La Rochelle on foot, while being able to park for free.
Without exteriors.
On the ground floor a fully equipped kitchen (dishwasher, fridge, microwave oven,...), a pleasant living room, a bathroom and a separate toilet. Upstairs: a large double bedroom (bed 160), and a large bedroom with 2 single beds. A sofa bed in the living room, for a total of 6 beds.
A 5-minute walk from the train station and the aquarium and a 10-minute walk from the old port and the city centre. You will appreciate its immediate proximity to shops (newsagent, bakery, cafes and restaurants...). Downstairs from the house: a self-service terminal for bicycles. Free parking on the street, and if you can't walk, bus located a few metres from the house, which will take you directly in a few stops to the port or to the city centre.
We leave DVDs, games for children of all ages, magazines and books available.
A welcome booklet will give you ideas for walks and our good addresses (beaches, shops, restaurants...) in sun or rainy weather. And above all, having young children ourselves, ideas for outings with the children for a successful holiday!
Arrivals are done alone via a key box, but we make ourselves available if you wish to meet us or for any need throughout your stay.

Very pleasant area because it is in the immediate vicinity of the port and the city centre, without all the problems of traffic and parking... Everything will be done on foot from the house, for a relaxing stay.
For walks around La Rochelle, it will be very easy for you to get out of La Rochelle without traffic jams, and visit the Ile de Ré, Fouras...

Très bon séjour, la localisation de l'appartement est idéale (quartier calme et assez proche du port à pied).Les deux chambres sont agréables et le logement est assez spacieux pour une famille de 4. Petit bémol concernant du matériel abîmé (casseroles/poêles, étendoir à linge) ou manquant (planche à repasser). L'hôte s'est montrée réactive et prévenante.

Precision de la description

L'annonce decrit 3 chambres alors que la 3eme chambre est en fait la piece a vivre avec un canape lit. Plutot que de parler de 3 chambres, il serait plus juste de parler de 2 chambres. Ce gite est fait pour un couple avec deux enfants et non pour 4 ou 6 adultes. A part ce point qui nous a posé probleme, le reste n'appelle pas de commentaires particuliers.

petit gite agréable

heureusement nous n'étions que cinq ( trois adultes au lieu de quatre ) , une enfant de 5 ans et un bébé de 17 mois . Le lit pour bébé a été très apprécié . En revanche le canapé est un couchage trop petit ( heureusement mon fils de 1m95 n'a pas pu venir ...) .

Un peu décevant

Petite maison de ville décorée avec beaucoup de goût. Propriétaire disponible et à l'écoute cependant beaucoup de détails négligés. A noter, pas de four comme indiqué dans l'annonce. Un peu étroit pour 6 personnes, avec une salle de bain ne fermant pas à clé. En revanche, draps et torchons fournis , très appréciables.
