Overview
Description
Spacious villa with large, private swimming pool, set within mature and peaceful grounds. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Beaches 34km.Villa Ravel is a spacious holiday home that can comfortably sleep eight people. From the roomy living areas, to the sun-drenched conservatory as well as numerous outside terraces and wonderful private swimming pool with decked surround this is a great place to relax and enjoy the quiet and privacy whilst being just a short drive away from a great selection of sandy beaches.
This wonderful property is located in the small village of Nalliers which has everything you need including two restaurants, bar, a small supermarket and a pharmacy.
The villa is just over 30min drive from the numerous beaches of La Faute sur Mer. You will also find more fantastic beaches along the Atlantic coast in the resorts of La Tranche-sur-Mer and Jard-sur-Mer (both 45min by car) and an hour from the hustle and bustle of Les Sables d’Olonne, the largest seaside resort in Vendee.
The medieval coastal town of La Rochelle, with its famous twin towers guarding the colourful old port, is 45 minutes’ drive and the charming Ile de Ré, now a fashionable holiday destination, about an hour away. Both a must to explore without a doubt!
Last, but certainly not least, is the Puy du Fou rural theme park, the fourth most popular attraction in France, just fifty minutes’ drive away and certainly not to be missed whilst on holiday in the area.

Leave ReviewVilla Ravel
By Stephanie Y on 10-Aug-2024We really enjoyed our week at Villa Ravel. The outdoor space and pool are fantastic. There are lots of different seating areas for relaxing and eating, and the pool is a wonderful size. The gardens are pretty too. Inside, the villa is incredibly well-equipped; the kitchen has everything you could possibly need. As it was hot, we spent most of the week outside, which meant that there were entire rooms that we didn’t even use indoors – such as the lounge and dining room. The downstairs is large with many different seating areas which is fantastic. The house is modern and clean, and beautifully decorated throughout. The town of Nalliers was very quiet in August. We only used the boulangerie and the convenience shop. There are very limited options for restaurants that you can walk to. There is a large supermarket a ten minute drive away which we found incredibly useful. We enjoyed the proximity to, and had wonderful days out in, La Rochelle, the Ile de Re and boating in the Marais Poitevin. The parking at the villa is excellent. Thank you so much to the host Nathalie for a wonderful week.

By Patricia B on 27-Jul-2024I am pleased the owner considered we left the property in good order. In over 30 years of renting properties in France, Italy, Spain and Portugal, we always endeavour to do this and cannot understand what appears to be a fairly recent issue caused by those who appear to have little, if any, respect for other’s property. The owner, was extremely helpful, and when there was a slight problem with the pool – quickly remedied – she was upset and emphasised that everything should be “perfect” for us. We enjoyed our stay and the owner proved an excellent host. Again, thank you for all your help.

By Stéphane L M on 01-Aug-2023A very, very beautiful house where nothing is missing (which is actually quite rare!). Everything is perfect, the terrace, the swimming pool, the fully equipped kitchen, the very well appointed rooms, the large gas plancha for great barbecues and super easy cleaning, the little touches and the smile of the owner, everything is there (and we have experience with dozens of luxury rentals!!!). We recommend without hesitation.
