BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE HOUSE:

The lounge is an open space with a dining area sitting 16 people around the antique table and decorated in a traditional country style with Victorian and French antique furniture. Above it, there is a mezzanine with 2 bar football tables. The dining room composes the other half of this open space and has an antique Victorian table which sits 16 people.

The main white kitchen is simple in design and is fully equipped with an oak table and 6 chairs.

It has a washing machine, a dryer, a double sink and some laundry products which are usually complimentary for the first wash. This laundry room leads to a separate wing of the property also accessible through an outside corridor which contains an extra large bedroom. It is equipped with an ultra modern double bed with LEDs and hanging space for clothes. It also contains a mini gym facility.

On the 1st floor, the property offers 1 double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, 2 King size bedrooms and a king size bed and a comfortable sofa-bed in addition to a family large bathroom.

There are 2 kitchens in the property including one in the main house and the other one at the swimming pool.

The pool is set in the front garden away from the main property. The lights inside the pool create a visually pleasing effect in the evening.

The pool is heated for extra comfort during the months of November to May; the region has a warm climate and temperatures can reach up to 43°C in the summer. Sometimes, it can be cooler but as a general rule, the pool will not be heated during the months of June to October.

There is also a garden around the pool grounds and one at the back of the house; all 3 being accessible via a long drive.

The property features free unlimited Wi-Fi and a phone to receive calls from your friends and family.

This unpretentious but imposing villa is situated in a village where farming constitutes the majority of activities. Tractors might drive past at a slow speed and make some noise, and the occasional farming smell might reach you when a gust of wind blows towards the house.

The neighbours are not too close to the house; they are far enough to give you almost total privacy. They are all well-intentioned, helpful, and welcoming!

Relaxing two week break in the French countryside
We had a wonderful two week stay at Helene’s property in August 2023. The property was well presented and very spacious for the 6 adults and 2 children. The property is set in a rural area and is peaceful and quiet. The highlight of the property was the outdoor pool, including a kitchen area and huge garden. We ate almost all our lunches out by the pool. We spent most of our time at the property but also went on 3 separate day trips to Saint-Jean-de-Luz (beach), Biarritz (beach) and Pau (shopping). We were well looked after by Gilbert who serviced the pool on a daily basis. Helene, out host, was very responsive and easy to communicate with before and during the holiday. We would highly recommend this property for families and friends who are looking to get away to the quiet French countryside.

Demeure de charme au coeur des Landes
Nous avons passé trois semaines cet été avec nos enfants dans cette maison de caractère, au charme de l'ancien, dominant un jardin verdoyant au joli panorama. Nous tenons à remercier Gilbert et Martine, l'équipe sur place qui a été quotidiennement aux petits soins pour nous, afin que nous passions les meilleures vacances possibles. Nous remercions aussi Hélène la propriétaire qui tout au long de notre séjour nous a écrit pour prendre de nos nouvelles et nous donner de nombreuses informations sur les environs. Un séjour reposant dans une région à découvrir au travers de longues balades. A recommander

Super séjour !
Nous avons passé un super séjour chez Héléne. La propriété est très bien entretenue et vraiment agréable. Gilbert et Martine sont présents, s'il y a le moindre soucis. Tout est à disposition pour passer des vacances reposantes et joviales entre le barbecue et la piscine. La maison est également très bien équipée pour préparer des repas à l'intérieur comme à l'extérieur.

About the host

Hosted by Helene

Host profile image
Hello! I have travelled extensively but the Landes department is still my favourite destination in the whole wide world. Truly. It is so authentic, unspoiled and relatively unknown. There is no fuss. There is no artifice. Life over there is uncomplicated and revolves around simple but essential values. You are surrounded by everything that you can possibly need plus the tranquility and sense of balance that nature wraps around your mind.

I hope you like my home because through it, I would love to welcome you into my world of real family values and authentic living. Welcome!

Why they chose this property

Le Grand Lamarque is a typical period Maison de Maître which oozes with rustic authenticity and country character. It appeals to families with a passion for French traditions in search for genuine style combined with good facilities.

The property is situated in a village and while this allows you to benefit from the peace and quiet of such a location, you are also next to all amenities within a few minutes drive. It is safe for children and in turn, this gives parents the opportunity to worry a bit less than in other locations.

This villa welcomes guests throughout the year: experiencing Christmas in this warm home has an old fashion touch of magic while the summer offers pure indulgence and rest. Easter is known to have impredictable temperatures but the egg hunts are delightful. The autumn period is colourful and romantic and can be split between exploring the region and creating unforgettable family memories.

You can do as much or as little as you want as the region abounds in activities especially if you enjoy physical challenges.

Day trips to the beach are excellent as you get the best of both worlds: you embrace the atmosphere of the busy sea resorts but come back to the quietness of your spacious home.

It is a pure paradise for children and a delight for teenagers and young adult as they are able to have parties around the pool until reasonable times (set by law) in the evening and under adult supervision. The nearby Olympic swimming pool can provide hours of fun at extremely low prices while parents play golf across the road.

Fresh croissants and pains au chocolat (called chocolatines in the region!) are available from numerous patisseries in the nearby town in less than 5 minutes by car.

All supermarkets and restaurants are within a similar distance, placing the property in a very convenient location.

The property is situated in farmland with occasional slow tractors driving past and natural fertilizers used sometimes.

What makes this property unique

To me, the location of this property makes it one of its best features. It is a place which enables you to take a step back in order to reconnect with family values, nature and "real France" while not feeling isolated. It is my personal hidden treasure!
