Just moments from the bustling harbour, Villa Boisvinet enjoys an enviable location in the heart of Saint Gilles Croix de Vie. This warm and welcoming townhouse places beaches, restaurants and bustling markets all within walking distance, inviting guests to settle effortlessly into the town’s seaside atmosphere. From morning strolls to the port to evenings spent dining beneath the Atlantic sky, every day here feels wonderfully uncomplicated.

Inside, the villa combines comfort with a gentle coastal spirit. Soft maritime touches and natural light create an atmosphere that feels calm and connected to the nearby ocean. The elegant living area is designed for easy gatherings after a day by the sea and the spacious open-plan kitchen diner is ideal for keen cooks preparing fresh market produce. Three pretty bedrooms include two doubles and a twin, alongside a stylish contemporary shower room.

Outside, the villa reveals a rare sanctuary in the centre of town. A wooden terrace creates an inviting extension of the dining space, complete with a lounge area, an outdoor dining table and a jacuzzi for long, soothing evenings beneath the stars.

Villa Boisvinet enjoys a superb location for discovering the many charms of Saint Gilles Croix de Vie. Plage de Boisvinet is just a short walk away, while the town’s larger beach, vibrant promenade and seasonal surf schools can be reached across the river.

Beyond the town, the coastline unfolds with sandy coves, wild dunes and celebrated seaside spots including Brétignolles sur Mer and Les Sables d’Olonne. Boat trips to the beautiful Île d’Yeu offer another memorable escape, with peaceful cycling routes and unspoilt beaches waiting to be explored.

Whether filled with coastal adventures, long lunches by the harbour or slow afternoons in the jacuzzi, Villa Boisvinet offers a relaxed and convenient base for truly experiencing the great appeal of the Vendée coast.

• In the heart of Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, a single train track runs just across the road from the house. Indeed, the train station is only 650m away with departures to Challans and Nantes (do check timetables in advance as they are not always very frequent). 
• There is garage parking for one car. Street parking may also be possible, however the town can get busy, especially in the summer months.
