Location

In the summer breeze sail boats ply the tidal waters of the bay of Cap Ferret. Sun-weathered fishing boats loll on the horizon, their submerged nets gathering up unsuspecting prey. Lining the shore, undulating sand beaches soften the meeting between land and sea. The beautiful villa, La Tosca, steps directly onto the beach with vast lawns to take in the sea air.

The nearest airport is Bordeaux Merignac approximately a 30 mins drive and Bergerac airport, 1 hour.

The Property

Pushing through the sand, the wrought-iron garden gate of La Tosca leads directly onto the bay. From there, a barefoot walk along the beach in either direction leads to summer restaurants and ad hoc oyster bars, under water treasures served with chilled muscadet on elbow-to-elbow tables.

The Asiatic influence at La Tosca extends beyond a choice selection of Eastern furnishings and garden focal points - the villa staff provide Oriental levels of dedication to guests. An attentive villa manager helps guests discover the local region from Day 1, and housekeepers who visit six days per week neatly lay-out a French breakfast on the covered dining terrace overlooking the bay.

Beautifully-tended gardens of lawns and iridescent borders surround a 15m lap pool, book-ended with day-beds, smothered with cushions. Kayaks are provided for the beach, with table tennis and trampoline also available on-site.

The near region is rich in cultural diversity and interest, one can enjoy recreational as well as educational experiences- Paragliding at Dune du Pyla - Cycling in the beautiful pine forests - Discovering the fabulous treasures of the Bordeaux wine region.
