Ile de Ré Holiday Studio Apartment in France

"We loved the island and St Martin . I think I have found my spiritual home. The location of the apartment is superb and it is equipped with absolutely everything you could need. The maps and booklets were particularly useful. We had great fun on the bikes which were a good way of working off all the extra food we ate! We had a great meal at L’Embrun round the corner from the apartment; very welcoming atmosphere and attractive food. Although, we got to Le Loix, La Couarde, Bois en Plage, La Flotte, St Marie and La Noue, there is plenty still for us to explore and I am sure we will return to Ré one day. The only disappointment was that although we saw lots of donkeys, they were not wearing their pyjamas!"

"Just to let you know we had a fabulous time and we have fallen in love with the place, as we thought a week just wasn't long enough. Many thanks again and hopefully we will be in touch re another booking soon."

We had a great time - the apartment was just what we had wanted and really well equipped. We really appreciated the attention to detail that you have put into it. E was very helpful and the apartment was spotless on our arrival.

We brought back a few bottles of vieux pineau to bring back the holiday mood - I might have to open one this evening! Thanks again."

"We had a great time, apart from the mixed weather. We hired some bikes in the end with a little yellow chariot for the baby and covered most of the island over our week. We understand now why you fell in love with the place and we semi-seriously viewed a couple of houses for sale in St Martin!

Your apartment was an ideal base from which to explore and had all the home comforts we needed. We enjoyed discovering the restaurants, particularly Bistro Marin and Belem. Now we are home we are missing fresh oysters, the fantastic fruits de mer and also the crepes....but back to the diet instead....

we definitely hope to return to Ile de Ré soon, and realise we must do something about our school French!

"We had a fantastic holiday thanks and it's definitely somewhere we'll be coming back to. The weather was getting bad a couple of days before we left but it certainly didn't put a damper on things!

The apartment was fantastically equipped and having the bikes available was great - cycling really is the best way to see the island. Thanks very much."

"We had a lovely time spent the whole week bike riding. No punctures though thankfully.

Thankful for the books you had there I read three. It was clearly evident that a lot of thought has gone into what people need. Thanks for that."

"We would both like to say how much we enjoyed Ile de Ré and St Martin. The flat was ideal and we had great weather; it's definitely worth a re-visit at some stage. Thanks for everything."

"We had a really great time on Ile de Re - what a gorgeous island. We loved all the long sandy beaches and hired a surf board for a few days which was great. It really is geared up brilliantly for cycling which we enjoyed. We had some poor weather towards the end of the week which was a bit of a shame but certainly didn't stop up doing anything. We thought St Martin was really lovely and also enjoyed wandering round La Flotte and Ars en Re particularly which were also lovely. We had some delicious meals - Le Serghi was probably our fave but the others were all good, thanks for your recommendations. The apartment was great, it is so well kitted out and you really have thought of every detail. It's really great to go somewhere self catering where all the basics, and more, are already there. All we had to buy was food, absolutely everything else was taken care of. We went to the market every morning and could have bought so much more - if only they had markets like that in the UK! Thanks for all your help and advice, it's much appreciated. I hope we will be back again!"

"We had a fantastic holiday thanks very much. The weather was great and we really enjoyed the apartment. First day back in the office today and I have a hankering for baguette and brie....."

"We had such a fantastic stay, the apartment was perfect and so well equipped and organised. It really was the best self-catering set-up that I have seen. The island itself was so beautiful and we were very lucky with the weather so we were able to explore everywhere. The bikes got used every day to see the various beaches and despite coming home somewhat heavier after eating all the lovely food(!) we could not have asked for more. We will definitely be coming back! I was also amazed how close the apartment was to the airport. Do you let the apartment for weekends?"

"We had a fabulous time on Ile de Re - it really is a beautiful island, with plenty to see and do. Particularly enjoyed sitting in the quayside cafes of St. Martin watching the yachts come and go...and the ice cream was to die for! Getting around the island was easy and we particularly appreciated the use of your two bikes. The apartment had absolutely everything we needed and more - thank you for thinking of everything! Will definitely recommend it to friends and colleagues."

"We had a fantastic week. The location is wonderful and we completely fell in love with St Martin. The apartment is extremely well equipped, we were very impressed."

"We had a great time thank you. The island was lovely, the weather fantastic and the apartment perfect for us. We used the bikes plenty - the healthiest way to get around! Thanks again - we both agreed we'd like to go back and will certainly recommend it to others."

"We had a really lovely holiday - great place, great weather, great location and we even used the bikes!!! Great exercise!! - I think we only had 2 lots of rain, both times overnight and it was nice to have a couple of cloudy days. We really enjoyed the pace of life as it was so relaxing loafing about the harbour! We really liked the market - lovely fresh food every day, Serghi's Restaurant and a wee wine bar we found when we cycled to La Couarde. Used the velo bus to go to Les Portes!! Got lazy and had to get it back most of the way too!! Many thanks for your helpful notes - everything was just as you described. Thanks again."

"We had a lovely time. Didn't use the bikes as my wife never learned to ride one, but she'll certainly learn if we go back! Used the buses a lot and walked quite a bit. Weather was great all week - just a shower a day after we arrived."

"We really enjoyed our holiday and at last I learnt to ride a bike!! I have to say I'm not very good yet and need lots more practice, but the holiday was very relaxing and just what we needed. The apartment was very well equipped, far more than we expected. Once again thanks, we really enjoyed the holiday."
