Surf beaches and miles of prestigious vines.....

From the regal and fashionable seaside resort of Biarritz, the endless beaches of the Côte d’Argent hold irresistible appeal for holidays by the sea. Surfers flock here to ride the Atlantic breakers on France’s ‘California coast’ while families enjoy carefree days on sandy shores. Learn to surf on the superb beaches or go sailing and windsurfing on inland lakes and find excellent golf courses in scenic settings.

Vast pine forests back onto these beaches, towering dunes rise into an incredible desert like setting near Arcachon and inland lagoons promise all kinds of water sports in scenic surroundings for walking and cycling. Savour plump local oysters from the Bassin d’Arcachon. How does that sound to you? Has that whetted your appetite for a beach villa in Biarritz.

This corner of France is also wine country. The historic city of Bordeaux is surrounded by 1000 square kilometres of carefully tended vineyards with over 5000 wine châteaux scattered throughout the precious landscape. Enjoy the full bodied St. Emillion, lighter Médoc reds, dry-white Entredux-mers, sweet Sauternes and make an appointment for tastings at prestigious Pauillac châteaux including Lafitte Rothchild, Mouton Rothchild and Margaux. What better to enjoy a glass or two when you are lunching by the sparkling pool of your luxury French villa rental.

The Pyrénées Atlantique provides a mountainous backdrop in the south, climbing to a dramatic natural border with Spain and with sheer cliffs plunging to the sea on the coast. The ancient riverside city of Bayonne is the capital of the French Pays Basque and there is a distinctive character to the tall, half-timbered houses and traditional coloured shutters in red and green. Of the local specialities, the smoked Bayonne ham has a distinctly Spanish flavour or visit the famous Chocolate Factory.

We have an exciting selection of houses ranging from a full hotel style service in a former stately home; a fabulous apartment right on the beach; a stunning property in Bidart with amazing views to a delightful house set within a forest with a pretty garden and pool and close to a sandy beach.
