As its name suggests, Villa Nature is the perfect place to stay if you are a lover of nature! The home is located in the Chiberta area of Anglet in France’s Basque Country, an area filled with ancient forests and enveloped by sweeping beaches and the Adour River. The home’s amazing location means you can spend time out in the local countryside and beaches and also visit a number of cities such as Biarritz and Bayonne which are each under 7km away.
If you are a sports enthusiast, then this is the place for you! Not only will you have beautiful scenery to enjoy in the local area, but you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to the fantastic range of sports facilities, walking trails and natural spaces nearby. Just 1.5km away from the house for example, is the local golf club which is home to a 27-hole golf course, as well as a tennis court. Just 4km away, you can also easily reach the Chiberta Forest, a lovely pine forest where you can walk, cycle, horse ride and even book on to an exciting Segway tour through the 220 hectares of peaceful woodlands. Another place you could visit for a walk or a scenic picnic is Parc écologique Izadia, just a short distance from the villa. This large park has lakes and plenty of flat walking trails for all abilities.
If you prefer to spend your down time unwinding on a long sandy beach, you will find plenty within easy reach of Villa Nature. There are 11 delightful beaches which span 4.5km along the coast up to Biarritz. The closest beach is just 1.5km away. As the area is known for surfing, you will find lots of surfing areas on the beaches, but the bathing areas are also clearly marked so those who wish to relax in peace can do so too. Backing the beach is the lush pine forest, local restaurants and children’s playgrounds, so you will have plenty to see and do without travelling far.
When you fancy walking around the streets of a bustling city, Biarritz is only 6km away. Biarritz has been a firm-favourite with holiday-makers for hundreds of years and was made famous as a summer destination for royals and nobles. Now, the city is one of two halves- the older areas with their glamorous historic buildings and the new, vibrant surfing scene which has brought in more modern bars, shops and restaurants. There is certainly something for everyone in the city. While here you can wander round the stunning streets and do some shopping and visit some of the sumptuous Belle époque era villas. There are also unique attractions here such as the Cité de l'Océan which is a sea museum which also has a range of fun-filled rides.

Ah, the French Basque Country… a region that has such a mix of Basque tradition and French charm that it immediately wins the heart of every tourist that visits. What’s not to love? The incredible beaches, friendly locals and fusion of Spanish and French cultures is one-of-a-kind.
