Charmante maison de 4 doubles chambres La Rochelle

This is a spacious house of character (former échoppe renovated and extended in 2000). It is in a quiet residential area, only 20 minutes pleasant walk to the historic old port of La Rochelle with its excellent restaurants and beautiful views over the harbour. It is also 10 to 15 minutes by bike (25 minutes on foot) to the nearest sandy town beach - Plage de la Concurrence. An enclosed walled and secluded garden of trees and shrubs runs two sides of the house facing south and west. There is a small swimming pool to the front of the house, which for small children can be gated off from the lawn and terrace. The terrace has a barbecue and a large garden table with 8 matching chairs; it also has an awning to allow guests to enjoy shade or sunshine. There are climbing roses and numerous colourful shrubs. Inside, the living accommodation downstairs is mostly open plan. There is a bright and spacious living room with three sofas (one is a sofa bed), and a television. Through an archway you reach a dining area and beyond a kitchen with breakfast bar, fridge/freezer, hob, small oven and a dishwasher. The property has two large double bedrooms downstairs each with a double bed, and two more upstairs, one with a double bed, the other with a double bed and a single bed. There are two bathrooms, one downstairs with bath and separate shower; the second upstairs with shower. There is an attached garage with the washing machine in. Well-behaved pets are welcome and there is a cat flap, but please check with the owners before bringing an animal to the property. Bed linen is available for hire for 10 euros/bed. We also ask for a €50 euro cleaning fee. The pool is usually open from mid May to early September time (weather dependant) so please check in advance.
