Maison Des Vagues

Stay in style near Biarritz in this stunning grand house with private pool within walking distance to a renowned surfing beach and a wonderful golf course.

This traditional Maison de Maître has been completely renovated by a well-regarded local architect who has created a beautiful abode which combines gorgeous character with contemporary flair. Step inside the huge living room with its intricately tiled floor, original fireplace and light flooding in from the French windows, then wander through to the uber-modern extension with its sleek kitchen-diner and sliding doors opening up to the swimming pool and garden.

The five bedrooms over three floors are minimalist yet chic with a sense of authenticity in their subtle characterful features whilst the bathrooms are elegant and stylish. Up on the very top floor the bunk-bed bedroom will delight the kids under the sloping ceilings.

The swimming pool is just the perfect size for cooling off on hot summer days as kids play on the little lawn in the garden whilst the contemporary pool house and sumptuous sun loungers offer further spots for relaxation and outdoor living.

Just south of Biarritz, you can walk to the local beach with its sandy shores and crashing waves, a mecca for surfers as is much of this coastline. Backed by a couple of well-known summer restaurants and bars, it’s a cool place to hang out whether you’re looking for relaxed family lunches looking out to the ocean or summer weekend nights spent dancing by the beach.
