Homestays in Arcachon

Orla Ireland

Amandine was a perfect hostess and was very helpful, cheerful and friendly. The Villa was immaculate with lovely thoughtful extras like speciality tea selection and a homely treat jar . I loved the way the Villa supported local produce such as locally produced luxury toiletries and arcachon speciality teas. The atmosphere in the Villa was relaxed and peaceful and it was evident that it was loved. The design details were charming , from designer lighting, to demi manivelle door knobs, stone staircase, tasteful sculptures and a lovely selection of coffee table books which we enjoyed browsing through. The outdoor area was well maintained with lovely pool and flowering shrubs and the rustling sound of fan palm leaves in the breeze. As the temperatures were in the late 30 s it was lovely to have access to the lovely red roof tiled gazebo for shade. Breakfast was available on request and Amandine ensured that personal preferences were accommodated as was the options of having it indoors or outside in the garden. Acces to the kitchen facilities for self catering for breakfast , lunch and dinner was a valued bonus. We also had access to bicycles to cycle into the centre of arcachon, which is only 10 mins away and all downhill :-) All in all the attention to detail and service was excellent. So much so that we had pre booked for 3 nights but loved the place so much that we extended to 6 nights. An absolute gem, beautiful location, charming Villa inside and out and wonderful staff that give great love and attention making it a very enjoyable, memorable and relaxing stay. Thank you so much to Amandine and her colleague ( whose name I’m sorry I can’t recall ), keep up the wonderful work.

Our hosts were warm, welcoming, and competent. Breakfast was terrific, with homemade pasteries as well as yogurt, fresh fruit, bread, homemade jams and jellies and more. The house is charming, in an old restored villa with abundant art work and immaculate and modern bathrooms. The location was close to the best beach and walking/bicycling trails on one side, and charming Arcachon center on the other.

I liked the willingness of the owner. The place was cozy and calm. Outside the apartment was area to sit and have a coffee. There was a lot of equipment and some of the basic food and ingredients to cook like oil and salt.

- Booking reimbursed us about 20% of the damage to our vacation from this horrible and scary landlady and location - Since we left right away, we changed our plans and gained 3 days in San Sebastian

Stéphane is a very nice host. He speaks not only French, but also good English. He gives tips, is interested in the guests, also tells something about himself, without being pushy, if you take some time. The apartment is very conveniently located: a maximum of 5 min walk to the train station and 10 min to the port and the beach of La Hume. A small supermarket, a bakery and a bike rental are also within 5 min walking distance. There is a fridge, sink, Tasimo machine and a small set of dishes for breakfast or similar in the apartment, but no real cooking facilities. However, in the immediate vicinity there are some restaurants and fast food places (Italian, etc.). We recommend the seafood restaurants at the harbor, especially the Cap au Large, even if it seems not as classy as the other two restaurants there.
