Set overlooking the golf course of La Palmyre, this whimsical villa in Les Mathes is bathed in an abundance of natural light and welcomes guests to retreat to its garden of sand and pines. While luxury designs and amenities grace the villa from the inside out, you'll feel as though you're staying in the wilderness even when spending time inside the home here. Despite double exposure from east to west, the home isn't at all overlooked, meaning you'll benefit from utmost privacy. Open up the whopping bi-fold doors to bring the outside in – the transitioning indoor-outdoor living spaces make for a sociable stay. Meanwhile, seven stylish bedroom suites, each with its own en-suite bathroom grant everyone in the group their own personal space – important for precious moments of solitude. In the garden a wealth of fauna and flora surrounds, creating an idyllic hideaway and escape from reality. Relaxing, meditating, doing yoga or simply reading your book in peace will provide you with an utterly blissful experience in this serene setting. Oh, and you'll have your own heated swimming pool to make a splash in here too. With the nearest sandy beach, only a 300 metre walk away – you'll have the choice of staying here in your own private haven or exploring France's western coastline. Why not take adventurous trips out to discover the picturesque locale? Ile de Oleron is reachable in just a fifty-minute drive up north and boasts stunning beaches and seafood opportunities galore.
