Dolphin Gites in Vendee -  Heated Swimming Pool

Dolphin Gites is a friendly family run complex of 6 independent holiday gites, situated in 1.5 acres of private grounds, with a heated swimming pool, only 5 mins' drive from the beach.

 

 

"Thank you for a very relaxing holiday in a lovely setting. The extensive grounds enabled the children to play together in a safe, carefree environment and the swimming pool was lovely and warm. The gite itself was very comfortable with a generous patio area for our many bbqs. We'll be back next year! (G. family, gite 3, Sept 2011, from the Wirral)

 

The complex comprises of 6 character gites of different sizes, all with direct access to the gardens and heated swimming pool.  

 

 

 

Dolphin Gites in Vendee - Heated Swimming Pool

 

 

 

Our gites complex is situated in the delightful village of La Chaize Giraud in the North of Vendée, only 5 mins' drive from the superb beaches at Brétignolles-sur-mer and 12 minutes from the impressive Grande Plage at St Gilles-Croix-de-Vie. 

 

 

 

 

 

Local beaches are only a few minutes away by car or 20 minutes by bicycle. If you prefer, you can spend the day relaxing beside the swimming pool. Children over the age of 12 are allowed to camp in the garden by special request.

 

 

"We have enjoyed a tremendous holiday which surpassed our expectations. The pool and table tennis have been a particular pleasure and it has been lovely to spend time in a warm, welcoming and safe environment. Thank you for making a memorable holiday." (B. family, gites 2 & 3, from Devon).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our largest gite (holiday house with 3 bedrooms) can accommodate up to 8 people and is ideal for a large family or two families sharing. Our smallest gite has just one bedroom and is ideal for a couple or a small family. 

 

"Quality gite, stunning location, the swimming pool made the holiday for the children, very friendly hosts especially Luc and Tristan. Good beaches, lots to do in the area. All in all a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday - a little more sun next time needed." (G. family, gite 4, from West Yorkshire).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our gites are ideal for children, with large enclosed gardens, fenced swimming pool, table tennis, bikes for hire, swings and, most importantly, other children on-site for your children to play with. The owners have 3 children.

 

 

 

 

 

For those who are interested in meeting people, we have an informal drinks evening in the garden once a week. 

 

We would also like to thank you for your warm hospitality and the 2 social evenings. This enabled exchange of ideas and allowed people to foster friendships. " (S Family, holiday cottage, from Herts).

 

"Fantastic location and great, safe environment for the children. We have all enjoyed our stay and the use of the pool. Thank you so much. We hope to come back again one day! (S family, July 2011, gite 2, from Scotland).

 

"Friendly owners; information sheets very useful; location is excellent; general cleanliness is great; a larger living area would have been welcome; the use of a pool was a bonus; thoughtful provision of washing up liquid, etc." (L family, July 2011, gite 1, from West Midlands).

LOCAL VISITS

 

The Normandeliere at Bretignolles sur-mer is a great beach with a créperie in the dunes. There is also a sea lake at the Normandeliere which is ideal for young children.

 

The Puy du Fou is one of the most famous attractions the Vendée has to offer and is only a 90 minute drive from Dolphin Gites. It is a large medieval park with a falconry display, jousting Knights, gladiators and Vikings. 

 

Apremont is a very attractive village with a chateau and river beach - it is well worth a visit.

 

The Vendée has many great opportunities for cycling, swimming, fishing, sailing, sunbathing, surfing and walking. The beaches are monitored by the CRS who volunteer as lifeguards in the summer months.
