Description
Just west of Bordeaux and tucked away in a serene cove off the French Atlantic Ocean, sits the beautiful and tranquil Villa Arcachon. It is a place where luxury accommodation meets exemplary service in an inspiring environment of land, sea and pine forest. This exclusive country estate offers eight refined bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms (four with original marble fireplaces), and includes a tower suite "La Tour" with 360 degrees floor-to-ceiling windows offering breathtaking sea and forest views. Other features include a cozy, club library with fireplace and an extensive international book selection, and a media/movie room with a 55 inch flat-screen TV and state of the art video system that can be converted in to a meeting room for seminars or confrences. For guests with restricted mobility, a specially built ramp offers access to the outdoor covered terrace, the dining room, as well as to a double bedroom, "La Verandah".
Outside are wide vistas over the front lawn extending as far as Cap Ferret and Arcachon. Unchallenged sea views and nightly sunsets are just a few of the perks available to guests of Villa Arcachon. A centuries old stone wall with gate, lined with Tamaris trees that have withstood the winds of times, separates the grounds from a direct stroll onto the beach at low tide, or a refreshing dip at high tide. The estate gardens are highlighted by an ecological lap pool fed by natural spring water, a petanque field, and outdoor table tennis.
