Villa in Saint-Martin-de-Ré

About this villa rental
This exceptional architect-designed family villa, recently renovated in strict adherence to the traditional style of the Île de Ré—combining stone or whitewashed walls with wood siding—can accommodate (see photos with captions) up to 15 people in 7 bedrooms (including a dormitory with 4 individual sleeping spaces on bunk beds).
All bedrooms feature a private bathroom and are equipped with double beds (except one, which consists of two single beds pushed together that can be separated).
The U-shaped layout around the pool and the two-story design allow families or groups of friends with children to stay in three separate areas of the house with complete privacy, while sharing spacious common areas (summer kitchen, living room, dining room, TV room, yoga studio/gym, and covered patio) connected by a large Ipé wood deck.
The deck also provides access to the large pool (12×4 m), equipped with a robotic, remote-controlled safety cover. The pool is heated (by a heat pump) from mid-April through October.
It is situated in the heart of a vast landscaped garden spanning over 1,000 m² (a rarity in Saint Martin) featuring a variety of plant species: palm trees, apricot trees, arbutus trees, bougainvilleas, oleanders, olive trees, wisteria, hydrangeas… A bike shed is available near the entrance/lawn parking area, which is itself accessible via a lovely, quiet alley.
Cars (at least 2 parking spaces) can be parked for free on the property at the garden entrance (tight maneuvering required for very large cars). The villa is located within the city walls, an area not accessible without a resident pass (provided to guests), making it easy to park in the side streets at a reasonable weekly rate. All of Saint Martin, which is mostly pedestrian-friendly, is within walking distance of the villa. Supermarkets are a 5-minute bike or car ride just outside the village.
