We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at La Petite Retaise. Regarding the pool, it is indeed a small pool, its dimensions designed primarily to offer a pleasant space for cooling off, and particularly suitable for children. Its depth of 1.40 m also allows for plenty of fun and swimming for the whole family. We are happy that you had such a wonderful holiday in our house and that you appreciated its charm and location.

Beautiful

We very much enjoyed our stay at Petite retaise - it is a really lovely holiday house with all the amenities we could have wished for. We all particularly enjoyed the pool and it was great to be within walking distance of the town. A small issue we had was sorted out very quickly without any questions.We would love to go back there again.

A lovely place

We spent a fantastic week at Le Petite Retaise with glorious weather which meant the pool was brilliant and was used a lot. It was an easy 10 minute walk to the centre of St Martin and also close to the main supermarkets and bike hire. The place was really comfortable and the service from Sonia the concierge was brilliant. She even let us check in early when we arrived sooner than expected. I would highly recommend it and would love to go back in future

Excellent!

Petite Retaise had everything and more that we could have asked for. Super comfortable bed and sofa, which, when you have a bad back is such a relief! Spotlessly clean. The pool was fabulous and used every day. The owner’s communication was brilliant and everything was much appreciated. Highly recommended.

Review of Petite Retaisse

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Petite Retaisse. The only thing we would like to mention is the problems experienced with the swimming pool. The description of the property quoted a 'heated pool' but the pool was very cold indeed. The pool level continued to drop & was topped up by the engineer, with cold water, on a daily basis. We made Justine aware of this. We were also not told to cover the pool at night until mid way through our holiday. We were advised by the pool engineer that the skimmer was faulty & had to be replaced. This took a few days to sort out & we were not able to enjoy the pool as we would have liked. All in all the pool was unusable for the majority of our stay. We feel that this problem should have been discovered prior to our arrival so that we could enjoy the house as advertised & paid for. We look forward to your comments.

I am very happy that you enjoyed your stay at petite retaise . The pool was repaired as soon as we got the information and it works well now. We always recommend to our guests for maintaining the water temperature, (written in the advertisement and the travel notebook) to put the cover on pool after use and in the evening, Especially when the temperatures are low for the season as this year. Looking forward to welcoming you again.

Beautiful property. Ideal location. Only down sides were V small pool. V small property overall for a family of 5. Mezzanine level was too hot to sleep in and no fans provided. Otherwise we had a wonderful holiday in what is a very beautiful vintage style villa.

Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed La Petite Retaise, its prime location, and its charming atmosphere. La Petite Retaise lives up to its name: it's a small, intimate holiday home, designed to comfortably accommodate up to 5 people max, in an authentic setting. The listing also mentions that it has a small swimming pool, perfect for cooling off and making the most of sunny days. This year, the region experienced some particularly intense heatwaves. The mezzanine, located under the eaves, was warmer during your stay. As soon as we were aware of your comment, we came the very next day to bring a fan to improve your comfort. We are happy that you had a wonderful holiday and that you were charmed by the atmosphere and character of La Petite Retaise. It is precisely this charm, its location, and its holiday home feel that make it so authentic.

Eine wunderbare Woche.

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, sehr geehrte Frau Barré, wir durften eine tolle sonnige Woche auf der Ile de Ré, in Ihrem Ferienhaus, verbringen. Toll ausgestattet, perfekt gelegen, der nicht einsehbare Pool, die Ausstattung, alles hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder auf die Ile de Ré Christian

Petite maison rétaise au coeur de Saint Martin

Nous sommes venus en février avec notre grande fille. Espace idéal en hiver. Le port de Saint Martin accessible à pied et la piste cyclable à 300m. Nous connaissions l'île de ré l'été pas l'hiver. C'est fait. Quelle tranquillité aux terrasses, pas d'embouteillage sur les pistes cyclables et seuls au monde sur les magnifiques plages. Maison au calme au fond d'une impasse décorée avec goût et très bien équipée. Très belle expérience à renouveler.

Très belle maison où il fait bon vivre ! Elle est tout équipée, lumineuse et d'une propreté impeccable! La possibilité de se garer devant la maison est très appréciable. Elle est idéalement située dans un cadre d'exception. L'accueil est très chaleureux, nous avons été très bien reçus! La communication avec les propriétaires était facile et rapide! Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la piscine chauffée et les deux terrasses qui nous ont permis de profiter un maximum du beau temps! Je recommande sans hésiter cette magnifique maison ! Nous reviendrons avec plaisir !

Excellent séjour

Très agréable maison typique de l'île située aux confins des remparts. Situation idéale pour évolution dans la capitale et sur l'île. Les deux cours, ainsi que l'emplacement réservé de parking sont un plus inestimable sur l'île. Configuration de la maison particulièrement agréable, équipement complet et en bon état, décoration de très bon goût. A conseiller sans réserve! La piscine doit évidemment être un plus en été...

Quelle jolie petite rétaise très cocooning, accueillante, très propre. Nous nous sommes délecté des petits cafés pris sur la terrasse au soleil. La maison est bien équipée et la décoration très chaleureuse. Elle est conforme aux photos et nous avons beaucoup apprécié sa situation idéale en plein coeur de St Martin et très au calme. Nous reviendrons sans doute plus tard dans la saison pour pouvoir profiter de la piscine chauffée
