What guests say :

“Fantastic family villa. The villa exceeded all my expectations. It was clean, spacious and the pool and garden stunning. The complex is very peaceful and it was a great place for a family holiday. Everyone we dealt with from booking to our stay were extremely helpful. Would highly recommend.” Emma K 2022

“We’ve just returned from France this evening and I wanted to drop you a quick line to say how much we enjoyed our stay at Oasis Les Jardins. The villa was superb and everyone very helpful and friendly. We all wanted to stay for longer and are keen either to return or perhaps try a similar villa in a different location. At any rate, I will definitely be recommending the villa and your company to my friends and family. Many thanks for all your help with the booking (and rebooking!) – it was definitely worth the wait!” Rachel F 2022

Trip Advisor review : Excellent
“A fantastic location just minutes from the coast, the parc itself is immaculate and very well set out . Spacious villas and a great pool. Delicious coissants at the parc’s bakery. Great location if you want to cycle.” Cully, 2017.

Trip Advisor review : Perfect family villa
“Good size, modern villa, with pool and near the beaches. Also family friendly with direct access to the bike routes into Les Sables d’Olonne. The villa was very clean and a great location for a family summer holiday.” Seth, 2017.

Trip Advisor review : Comfortable and well managed
“We have stayed at this location 3 times now in 3 different villas and have enjoyed it every time. The location is perfect and the villas are all of a very high standard – well equipped and well looked after. The staff at reception are helpful and they speak several languages. The location is very good for young children as it is gated and all pools are alarmed and within secluded and private gardens.”

Outside July / August, if you are looking for 10 – 12 nights we will quote you a specific price where this is possible – please ask.
Please note that if you have seen the property advertised on one of the major brand name websites, the price given there may not be correct. These systems do not always allow the necessary flexibility in entering the prices, or they can loose pricing data, or they can incorrectly calculate the price shown for your chosen dates.

Can I book on-line ?
Sorry, we don’t participate in the automated booking schemes proposed by some of the major publicity sites. There are good reasons for this and we much prefer the personal contact with our clients. Please note that you get the same safe booking and the security on payments by card.

Is the swimming pool sole use ?
On the summary page and the property page (top left), if it is marked “Private Pool”, then it is for sole use. If it is shared in any way it is marked “Shared Pool” and the sharing is described in the property text.

How far is it to the nearest beach, to amenities ?

Are sheets and towels included in the rental ?
On the property page, just below the pricing table, you will find the list of charges. If sheets and towels are included in the rental price this will be marked here (for one set, further changes may be charged).
