Charming house with a large yard / downtown

We had a super stay at La Flotte. We really enjoyed the house and it’s facilities - a little bit dated and quirky but we were fine with that and would recommend it. A couple of issues needed addressing during our stay but the owner was very quick at responding and sorting things out - really excellent communication. A fantastic location and we only used our car once in two weeks - hired bikes and cycled all the other days. We would definitely return.

This is a simple, but amazingly situated holiday house. Its greatest feature is the huge walled garden, a real oasis of calm literally a stone's throw from the bustle of the La Flotte harbour. We parked the car in the garden and never touched it again, going everywhere on foot and by bike. The house isn't exactly modern, although some improvements have been made (new kitchen, decorated bedrooms, and the most comfortable bed I think I have ever slept in) but it really worked for us - a family group of 6 with teenagers / young adults. We were met by Patrick on arrival, who was charming and very helpful, and the contact with the owner was excellent too - looking to help and improve. All in all, a good address for a family holiday on Ile de Re. Would recommend!
