Villa Acacia

We had a very nice time in France, thanks. Everything worked well. The villa was as described and met our needs very well, very relaxing environment. All the information provided was helpful and made the visit easy. Overall very good place for us to stay and an excellent break.

We had a great time thanks. It was very enjoyable and the house was perfect for us. We then went to Brittany for a week and the kids were asking if we could go back to Villa Acacia instead.

The people that ran the place seemed very warm, friendly and helpful, and so did everyone in the entire area. Having spent holidays in Italy and Spain most recently, the contrast in hospitality from all of the people we met in the Vendee was very stark indeed. Our villa suited us perfectly, it exceeded our expectations in a lot of areas, especially the surprise boules alley at the side of the house. It was very well equipped, we did not want for anything at all, a lot of equipment had been donated by previous occupants such as wetsuits, inflatables, surf boards. The local town Sables d’Olonnes was just perfect for us to eat out, shop, or go on the beach. Honestly, I was so impressed with the whole thing. My dealings with you, Christophe, have always been friendly, there was no confusion at all, you were able to answer my questions with patience. All good. My advice to anybody looking to travel from the UK to the Vendee would be to stop at Bayeux, maybe for a day, but at least for half a day. It’s 3.5 hours from the tunnel, and 4.5 from the Vendee so it adds a little bit on to the journey but it’s a great place to stop around the half way mark. This is what we did on our return journey. You also miss out Rouen which we needed to do due to the low emissions zone.

Fabulous holiday thank you, with excellent weather.

We had a really lovely time at the villa, much more spacious than we imagined, especially the garden. Very well equipped and homely, rather than a sparse holiday let. Facilities on site were ok and the reception staff were very helpful. Location was very useful for the beaches and getting into town was quite quick by car. Good local shops also. Thank you for helping make it a good holiday.

Select Villas – You have been very helpful as always and made it easy for us to book. Also helping us with the Vet meant something we did not have to worry about! The tennis court was ok and we had some good fun playing tennis. Location – We love the area, we had some lovely walks and runs, kayaking (at Des Salines), a few meals in the town and sightseeing.

Beautiful villa. We had a great family holiday. The private swimming pool is really nice. The villa is spacious. Very quiet residence and very friendly staff.

We had a brilliant time in Oasis Les Jardins once again this year. Just as good as 2022. Thanks!

Lovely Villa Near Les Sables-d’Olonne. Villa was extremely well maintained and pool was spotless, perfect place to cool down in the sun. Resort itself was quiet and staff very helpful. Nice boulangerie, small supermarket and newsagent within 10 minute walk. The coastal walk toward Les Sables-d’Olonne was very nice and the kids enjoyed playing in the Atlantic surf. The town itself was lovely, with lots of restaurants and shops along la grande plage. Thoroughly enjoyable holiday.

Just perfect. Ten days of proper rest! Christophe handled the management of our holidays with exemplary rigor. Communication is immediate and constant. Les Jardins is located close to the sea, food shops and hiking trails. The residence and the villa are very well maintained which allows you to quickly feel comfortable. The service of a swimming pool specialist throughout the week makes it possible to take full advantage of this option. In short, I recommend contacting Christophe for a successful holiday.

As feedback I would say the location and site is very good. I didn’t have to use reception except first morning and she was very helpful and I had a look in the shop but it wasn’t stocked with anything I would buy food etc. The Villa itself was nice , plenty of hot water and quiet, if I was going to suggest any improvements is that the Villa internally looked tired and fry pans past their sell by date as well as the fridge issue. We also had rubbish from previous guests under bed. All that in mind I would book again but probably go straight to reception re fridge shelves as that caused a right pain trying to juggle what to put in it.

We had a lovely stay at Oasis les Jardins. The villa was just what we needed and the location was great. We really enjoyed the pool (although we thought it would be slightly wider as in the photos on the website – we didn’t realise that some villas had different shaped pools). We also enjoyed planning tennis and mini golf. We were surprised that the larger, communal pool wasn’t open though. The staff at reception were very helpful and responsive. We called them a few times when the level of the swimming pool water sank down and they sent maintenance staff to come and have a look straight away.

Our holiday and the villa were both fantastic - very happy to say that we loved it as much as on our previous visits and actually could easily have stayed longer. We have no complaints at all and hope to be able to visit again next year. I would happily recommend to anyone.

Fantastic family villa. The villa exceeded all my expectations. It was clean, spacious and the pool and garden stunning. The complex is very peaceful and it was a great place for a family holiday. Everyone we dealt with from booking to our stay were extremely helpful. Would highly recommend.

Fabulous first family holiday. Clean, tidy and spacious villa with own pool, our villa was not overlooked by other properties. Three good-sized bedrooms, two bathrooms (one en suite), and very spacious living/dining/kitchen area. We went with two very small children and the villa layout worked well for us. The pool is perfectly adequate for cooling off and playing with plenty of inflatables! The reception area has a small shop, where you can buy essential food provisions, and the nearest supermarket is a 10 minute drive away. Oasis Les Jardins is an attractive setting, about a 10 minute walk from the coast. There are flat, sandy beaches slightly further up the coast towards Les Sables d'Olonne, which are accessible via about a 30 minute walk, or a 10 minute bike ride. Lots of bike paths everywhere, the area is very well setup for cycling! We drove down and took bikes and bike trailers with us in the van, but you can hire bikes/trailers etc from the reception. We're certainly keen to return again, it's a 670km drive from the Eurotunnel, but in our experience the French motorways are quiet and you can make good progress. We drove from Oasis Les Jardins back to Bristol with two under 3-year-olds in 1 day, so it's doable. Thanks for the happy memories!

“We had a great stay, as we did last year and enjoyed the residence and its setting immensely. Regarding the villa, everything was perfect and the equipment excellent (jacuzzi, table football and boules pitch delighted us)! We will remember villa n°132 hoping to be able to rent it again next year.”

”Superb holiday, beautiful villa with the heated swimming pool the best! Lots of opportunities for activity and outings in the area. Affordable price and very friendly staff. Thank you Christophe for the information and arrangements before the stay. We will be back!”

”We did a last-minute booking as weren’t sure if we would be able to go on holidays; we contacted Christophe and were advised that there was a cancellation and that a Villa Acacia was available. Christophe and team were very responsive with our enquires so it was an easy decision to go ahead and book it on a Thursday and then heading there on the Saturday. It is an over 8 hours drive from Luxembourg to the Villa, but once in Les Sables d’Olonne it was easy to get there. The Villa Acacia was perfect for us, a family of 4 and a pet dog, the kids 6 and 4 loved the place too; they enjoyed the pool and the stay so much; we really appreciated Christophe advice of heating the pool, considering that the kids used the pool from early to late in the day. The villa was in excellent condition and the service was excellent. We highly recommend it to any family than wants a relaxing vacation.”

”We’ve had a perfect week in les Jardins d’Olonne, a beautiful villa, well equipped and with a good kitchen, set in a very tranquil residence. Despite the often-cloudy weather in September we used the heated pool almost every day. The staff at the reception was very kind and helpful when the pool wasn’t heated on arrival, this little problem was quickly solved. Booking the villa went smoothly, the deposit by credit card was rapidly returned, directions to the villa and residence were very clear, nothing but positives here. We’ve been to the Vendee before, as always, we enjoyed the landscape, the seaside and the town of Les Sables d’Olonne and we hope to come back next year for more.”

”The villa was perfect and the residence lovely, so much so we were even enquiring if any properties were for sale on the residence! We had a slight glitch with the pool one day but that was fixed pretty quickly. The service provided by both yourselves and the residence staff was flawless – thank you.”

“We had a lovely stay at Jardins d’Olonne and cannot fault it. The staff were very helpful. The villa was lovely and well equipped. The area was just what we needed. Our dogs were, like us, relaxed and well behaved!! The restaurant on site was wonderful and we visited it twice. Absolutely no complaints. Thank you.”
