About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

the charm of the old

Family house in the heart of the village of La Couarde, in the center of the Ile de Ré. Rue de la Motte, 100m from the main street and 300m from the beach. The house is an authentic village house, with its main building (living room, dining room, 3 bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom), an annex and its two courtyards. All the charm of the old. It can accommodate 6 people and offers traditional comfort. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped. A summer dining room allows you to take your meals cool even when the sun is getting generous. An additional shower room (access from the outside) has many advantages when you come back from the beach and want to get rid of the sand. Very quiet since the house is located in a discreet street that only those who know the village take. Do not hesitate to consult the reviews on the house. Thank you.
PS 1 A family home, well equipped and welcoming, which we hold dear and which we continue to maintain with passion. (new parquet in the bathroom ..., shutters same in the last bedroom)
Alas, for reasons of "logistics", sheets and towels are not provided, but the rental is very easy if you wish.
PS2 My daughter suffering from serious allergy problems we regret not being able to accept tenants with animals. I am sorry.

Pleasant stay
The communication with the owners was good and they organized linen for us as we were traveling from overseas. The home was comfortable and well equipped. Onsite person was helpful. Nice spaces inside and out. Unfortunately they couldn't do anything about the weather.

Great - hard to beat -roomy
A great self sufficient house with all the amenities plus a nice private hard to enjoy a glass of wine and good conversation. Would go back again. Couarde is lovely and the house is close to everything .

Beautiful character full property right in the centre ofLa Couarde
The location is perfect. A few minutes walk from the market. A few minutes walk to restaurants. Easy walk to the beach. There was plenty of room for 4 of us to live in comfort for the week. When it’s warm eat out in the garden. Eat in the kitchen if it’s colder. The outside shower room is the better shower and a real bonus when coming in from the beach. Kitchen is reasonably equipped, we happily did our own meals there. The barbecue outsize is really good.

Maison idéalement située et jardin très agréable
Grande maison située en plein centre et proche de la mer. Le calme s’associe à un très joli jardin pour permettre un séjour des plus reposants. La maison est bien entretenue, quelques équipements seront peut-être à moderniser mais cela n’a aucunement entachés notre très agréable séjour.
