Whether taking a cycling holiday with friends or seeking a family vacation with easy access to all of the stunning locations on Ile de Ré, the four-bedroomed Villa Bastien welcomes guests to the beautiful port village of Ars en Ré.
The open-plan living space is bright and welcoming, with exposed steel beams offsetting the whitewashed, vaulted ceiling and doors leading to two of the three terraces – ensuring no shortage of natural light during the day. There’s no lack of comfortable seating either, with a large sofa in front of the television and stylish chairs next to a wood-burning stove, giving even larger groups a great space to wind down at the end of the day.
Rustic chic meets contemporary family life here, and it looks and feels great - a distressed sideboard sits just alongside a large dining table, with the kitchen’s modern countertops and cabinets in tasteful contrast. The superbly appointed kitchen’s range cooker and generous marble countertops lend themselves to culinary enthusiasm – no bad thing when you have incredible local produce nearby! The kitchen sink is within an impressive preparation island, which also incorporates a relaxed breakfast bar adjacent to traditionally-styled portes-fenêtres that invite hungry guests to the dining terrace.
Villa Bastien’s master bedroom features a large double bed and a bright, well-appointed bathroom. Along with one other bedroom, which has twin beds that can be joined together, guests in this room enjoy direct access to the garden. With two additional bedrooms - one double, one twin – Villa Bastien comfortably delivers a great night of sleep for up to eight guests.
A barbecue is provided – perfect for relaxed dinners with family or friends. In addition to the dining terrace just outside the kitchen, you can recline with a glass of wine in the outdoor lounge, while the terrace outside two of the bedrooms is a great little sun trap – what a fabulous way to start any morning!
