We had a fantastic holiday, thank you. We liked Villa Sophora very much, with the children particularly enjoying the pool, even if it was a little cold! The villa was spacious, modern and well-equipped. It was clean and maintained to a high standard, and two modern shower-rooms was a big plus. The outside space was very private and allowed us to enjoy family meals on the decking. The communication from yourself and Select Villas throughout, from booking to the end of our holiday was excellent and much appreciated – thank you. We would happily book another holiday through you again!

The holiday was great, thank you. The villa was fantastic thanks, so very clean and tidy and had everything we needed. We all loved having the private pool! The resort was well looked after. Every day their we people on site tending to the pools and landscaping. The childrens play park on site could do with updating but we only went once so maybe doesn’t get much use anyway. We only spoke with one young guy on reception and he was very helpful. Overall the site was great. With hindsight if we were ever to travel that far from Dover for a villa holiday I’d probably fly. It was quite the slog via car! Thanks again.

Christopher D Sep 2023

As always, the villa was lovely and the site is lovely and the reception staff were very helpful. We had a wonderful stay there.

Alistair B Aug 2023

We had a wonderful family holiday at Oasis des Jardins, booked through Select Villas. The process from start to end was incredibly easy and Christophe was very helpful and provided us with all the info we needed to ensure we chose the right villa to suit us. The complex is very clean, modern and safe. Check in at reception was simple and they explained everything that we would need to ensure we had a stressless stay. The villa itself was fantastic. The facilities were great and the pool was amazing. The children loved it! The location was also very good. Close to Sables D’Olonne and its wonderful beaches and restaurants. I would highly recommend Select Villas and Oasis Des Jardins for anyone wanting a tranquil villa holiday with lots to do in the surrounding areas.

We had a lovely holiday thank you. The villa was very nice and located in a good spot. The children had a nice time. Beaches are lovely and the promenade was fabulous! We visited the zoo and Puy Du Fou, some towns etc. Was a really great experience, we had been to Puy Du Fou a few years back as well, really recommend for new visitors! I love the supermarkets and the shops there, so nice! – spent too much of course! Reception staff were friendly- the only thing I would say is they could store some fresh milk. It was really nice Christophe, thank you for all your help and I am sure we will all be in touch again.

Rachel F Jul 2022

Hi Christophe, We’ve just returned from France this evening and I wanted to drop you a quick line to say how much we enjoyed our stay at Oasis Les Jardins. The villa was superb and everyone very helpful and friendly. We all wanted to stay for longer and are keen either to return or perhaps try a similar villa in a different location. At any rate, I will definitely be recommending the villa and your company to my friends and family. Many thanks for all your help with the booking (and rebooking!) - it was definitely worth the wait!

“Villa was quite hard to find, but once there it is a lovely place for a relaxing holiday around a pool in the sun. Very clean and well equipped, the only thing missing was matches to light the BBQ! The surrounding area is amazing, beaches very close by and a choice of supermarkets all a few minutes’ drive away. English speaking staff made the holiday even more enjoyable; we will definitely be back.”

Karine V Sep 2018

“Thank you very much for everything. We were very happy especially with your service. The villa is excellent. The receptionist was very helpful. Our dog was very calm and happy thanks to the garden being enclosed. The villa was quiet, offered privacy and luxury with the garden and the pool. The on-site restaurant was also very good. It was a fantastic holiday.”

Adele K Aug 2018

“We had another wonderful holiday in Vendee! Sadly, we arrived Saturday afternoon to find the pool unclean and cloudy so understandably the girls were really disappointed they couldn’t jump straight in. The pool technician attended Sunday so we were in the pool by Sunday afternoon. Our rep mentioned there’d been a few complaints regarding dirty pools. This was a disappointing start to the holiday. However, on a brighter note the villa was fabulous and the garden as green and lush as we remembered it! Reception were very helpful with bookings for restaurants and activities. We love the location of the villa with the vast array of beaches within close proximity. Each year we discover wonderful new beaches. We’ve previously visited La Rochelle and Ile de Re as day trips by car so this time decided to hire a boat to view the coastline by a different route. The coast line of Ile d’Aix and Ile d’ Oleron were beautiful and there was the added interest of getting close to Fort Boyard! We would love to stay at Les Jardins again next year but September is probably a bit too organised for me!”

”In a Eurovision song contest style here are my scores (out of 5, with 5 being excellent): Villa = 5 First class villa fitted with all mod cons, great pool and excellent facilities Location = 5 Beach, Supermarket, town and cycle paths all on the doorstep On-site facilities = 5 Reception, restaurant and snack bar + mini golf (all well used) Customer service = 5 Welcome pack, comprehensive booklet and all-round good comms Customer experience = 5 Efficient booking system – all together excellent service As it stands, I’m 99% sure that I’ll be heading back there next year.”

Agency From Kendal, United Kingdom Member since Sep 2015

I was born and brought up in Nice and spent most of my holiday youth in Provence, Aquitaine and Brittany. This has helped tremendously understand what is important about each region of France, what makes a property special and how best to promote it. If a property makes it to our range it simply means that the background work and checks have been carried out and that I am happy to send clients there. As a matter of fact I have holidayed in many of our villas of the years! Having worked in the holiday rental sector for twenty years for Tour Operators and Travel Agencies including French Life Holidays, Rent Villas France and for the last seven years at Select Villas this has allowed me to gain a great deal of experience and knowledge in the wonderful world of holiday property letting across France. I understand how important client's holidays are and this is why I want to ensure that all villas in our range are visited either by myself or by one of the trusted local agents we work with. Clients can therefore book their holiday with peace of mind knowing that the property they will stay in has been vetted, that they can book with confidence and enjoy their special time in France.
