To help you choose and book your Vendee gite, cottage or villa and to to avoid you tapping needlessly on your smartphone asking questions, the most frequent questions are answered below.

For properties that are indicated as being under the management of a partner agency or company, you can use this for basic guidance but there may be differences, so please refer to their specific terms of rental.
Scroll down for all questions.

Are my holiday dates available ?

If it is Yellow then you can ask to be placed second in line if the option falls through. If it is Red, then the dates have already been taken. You will also see that there is an availability summary in the main site menu that allows you to check across all our properties at a glance.

Can we do other than a Saturday to Saturday rental ?
July / August – no it’s not possible, only the standard changeover day.
(Note that occasionally a property may be Friday to Friday and this is shown on the calendar.)

If there are two prices shown, the lower price is for smaller groups (up to the number of people stated at the top of the pricing table). 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.

Is the swimming pool heated ?

Are sheets and towels included in the rental ?
