Overview
Nestled neatly between the seaside villages of Lanton and Andernos-les-Bains on the Bassin d’Arachon, Maison Colorée is a bright and spacious holiday home perfectly suited to up to ten guests.
Fresh from a full renovation in 2023, this five-bedroom villa is the ideal blend of comfort, enjoyment, and easy access to nearby activities. Well-suited to friends and family alike, guests are welcomed by the villa’s sleek architecture and manicured garden lush with palms.
True to its name, each room in Maison Colorée comes with its own personal splash of colour. Tastefully decorated and bright with natural light, the spacious and sophisticated indoor spaces are perfect for entertainment. The open-plan kitchen comes fitted with an extensive range of modern appliances, ensuring your holiday feasts are prepared with a minimum of fuss.
The villa’s outdoor areas are just as inviting as its indoor spaces. With ample opportunity for al fresco dining in the shelter of the cabana and in full view of the private swimming pool, this holiday home exudes the indoor-outdoor French coastal lifestyle. Open a bottle of local Bordeaux wine by the pool and enjoy the serenity of this private getaway.
Beyond the villa itself, perhaps the most wonderful highlight of this holiday house is its proximity to the Gironde coastline and its renowned beaches. Situated on a quiet street a twenty-minute walk (1.5km) from the closest beach, and a short-drive from a litany of nearby attractions and beach-based activities, Maison Colorée is a relaxing escape with no shortage of opportunities for adventure and local experiences.

Location
About the surrounding area of Maison ColoreeThe Bassin d’Arcachon, or Arcachon Bay, is a large Atlantic-fed bay west of Bordeaux with an inlet between the tip of the Cap Ferret promontory in the west and the famous resort town of Arcachon to the east. Various towns, fishing ports and holiday resorts dot the bay’s coastline. Maison Colorée is located in a residential area near the small fishing village of Lanton, which boasts a supermarket, a few restaurants, a beach and a small harbour populated with picturesque bobbing boats. For those who like to swing the sticks, the Aiguilles Vertes golf club can be found only a short walk from the villa itself.
Close by Lanton is the holiday resort of Andernos-les-Bains featuring a long pier and is best enjoyed at high tide when the bay sidles right up to the beach. Here a range of supermarkets, restaurants, shops, a theatre, and even a casino can be found. A short drive south will bring you to Le Teich and its renowned ornithological reserve, a magical spot for birdwatchers to see a wide range of bird species in their natural environment. Don’t forget to bring your binoculars!
Following the bay around will bring you to the popular resort town of Arcachon, where begins the longest, sandiest stretch of coastline in Europe, running 200 kilometres southwards to Biarritz. It's worth noting that cars cannot be taken on the ferry from Cap Ferrat to Arachon, but bikes can. Don’t forget to check out the Dune de Pilat, Europe’s highest sand dune whose shifting summit provides panoramic views across to Cap Ferret.
