Biarritz is an appealing and compelling destination for visitors to southwest France.  The pounding surf, fine beaches, waterfront casino, elegant shops, unending choice of restaurants, and incredible history all combine to ensure a marvelous visit!

What we find to be the icing on the cake, however, is Villa le Goëland, the prominent architectural delight seen in the photo above. 

Here is your opportunity to stay in a luxurious and historic property right on the Atlantic shore!  Most châteaux are nestled in the countryside, but this beautiful villa,  situated on a plateau in the resort city of Biarritz, has a commanding view of the Atlantic coastline from the Landes region south to Spain.  Your room here with a balcony could become one of your favorite places in the entire world!

We can't stress enough the charm of the south Atlantic coast of France.  The liveliness of Biarritz with its upscale restaurants, grand casino and Napoléonic history is something to make a vacation unforgettable.  The Basque people in this corner of France infuse the towns and countryside with their fascinating folk customs, interesting architecture and unforgettable cuisine. 

The Villa le Goëland is a gem -- not only for its incredible location and appealing architecture but for what it offers:  the young and enthusiastic host and hostess, Monsieur and Madame Daraignez,  intent on welcoming you to their home with comfortable and well furnished rooms, large modern bathrooms, and great breakfasts on balconies with views to take your breath away!   These friendly and knowledgeable people will answer your every question about the Basque region and Biarritz, as well as point you to the best restaurants and shopping in town.

A Spacious Guest Room and the View from its Window

Three en suite guest rooms await your visit, each with a view -- even the large modern bathrooms have views!  Your comfort is paramount, of course, but what you will find outside your window will also make a lasting impression -- the coast and the sea!  Naturally, as Villa le Goëland is located in the heart of Biarritz, you will find access to fine restaurants, shopping and the casino quite easy.  Parking is provided at the Villa for you car, but you may decide that walking to all the city's destinations is quite convenient.

The region around Biarritz offers vacationers everything from golf and scuba diving to horseback riding and paragliding.  The Landes coast to Arcachon is a pleasant, uncrowded drive, and Atlantic beaches are wide and clean.   Nearby there are many sites and museums devoted to prehistory.  An easy drive from Biarritz will take visitors to St-Jean-de-Luz down the coast, inland to Basque country, and less than two hours north to Bordeaux. 
 
 

Imagine  breakfasts of fresh fruit, yogurt, breads and pastries, juice and coffee  taken on the terrace overlooking the sea.   When people are looking for fine tourist attractions but still insist upon tranquility and relaxation on their vacation, they could do no better than to reserve a room for several nights in fashionable Biarritz at the historic and classical Villa le Goëland.
