Pet Friendly La Maison Bleue - Luxury Villa with Heated Pool

Very nice house. very thoughtfully and accommodatingly equipped. Lovely pool and very effectively secured if you have small children. nice setting next to the forest and very friendly hosts. One bedroom occasionally gets a bit of noise and smell from the machinery behind the wall in the garage (central heating for house and pool).

Amazing house, good location, close to the beach. Perfect heated pool, especially for kids. Very friendly owners.

We chose this property because we wanted a secure pool area for our children of 1 and 4, and it did not disappoint. Indeed the pool is heated to 32C rather than the standard 29C to cater for toddlers. Another plus is the provision of a range of very usable bikes, to take advantage of the miles of cycle tracks in the area. The owners live close by, and communicated with us well to ensure that we had the right sized beds for the children in the right rooms. There is no air-con but the villa is well insulated enough to stay cool in all but extreme heat; one night we had to buy a fan for the baby's room when it had been 38C in the day. The owner reimbursed us and we left it in the villa. The owner asked for a 500 euro damage deposit on arrival; this was returned with no quibble at the end of our stay. Overall, we would come here again very happily. The owners are grandparents and have made a real effort to create a child-friendly environment.

The villa was exactly as shown in photos, beautifully clean and well equipped plus the beds are very comfortable! We were 4 adults and 2 children and we all loved it. The heated pool was absolutely lovely. The covered outside dining and seating area is perfect for a bit of shade. The owners greated us on arrival , showed us around and left us to our holiday. We had a fault with the electric garage door which was fixed the same day. The village of Lege is a short cycle ride away and there are lots of places to visit and perfect beaches only a 15 minute drive (or slightly longer cycle) . Overall a great holiday!

We spent two, very happy, weeks at the villa. The owners were attentive; the villa and pool were clean; and, the layout of the property was excellent. The cycle paths, many of which went through the pine forests, had practically no hills and made for a very good cycling holiday (we had brought four of our own bikes with us, together with a fold-up bike trailer for transporting body-boards, beach equipment, etc.). Cycling to and from the Southern point of Cap-Ferret was a challenge for our youngest (6 years), but was preferable to travelling by car in slow-moving August holiday traffic. The various markets in the area were well worth visiting, as was Dune du Pyla (leave early morning to avoid the traffic), and the delightful oyster farm village of l'Herbe with the excellent restaurant, Hôtel de la Plage.
