La Pivoine La Rochelle, Nouvelle-Aquitaine

Holiday Rental Description

For a pocket of peace in the coastal city of La Rochelle, choose this beautiful villa with its own private terrace. The charming abode is just a fifteen-minute walk to the old town and ten minutes by car to the beach, so when you're not luxuriating in your artfully designed living space, you can discover the very best this popular destination has to offer.

Our favourite part of the house has to be the garden-facing dining room. Gather for wholesome home-cooked meals whipped up in the kitchen – if you're brave, you might even try your hand at making escargots – and slide open the glass doors. On particularly balmy days, you can opt for the outdoor table instead and grill up some fresh produce on the barbecue.

The interior decor is a blend between classically French and ultra-modern style, with a serene colour palette and wicker accents. Matisse fans will delight in the painted Sheaf-inspired wall art in the master bathroom, a cheerful pop of colour in an otherwise muted space. Tasteful marine touches, such as the boat oars in the twin bedroom, are a reminder of your seaside location, encouraging you to hop in the car and discover the stunning strands on your doorstep.
