About this property

The Old Customs House

“The Old Customs House” has an unforgettable view overlooking the mouth of the Gironde into the Atlantic Ocean.
This prominent 1930’s house is truly in an unforgettable magnificent panoramic position situated on the edge of the outstanding peninsula village of “Talmont sur Gironde”, classified as “One of France’s most beautiful villages”. You can watch and hear the tide rolling in and out from the kitchen, lounge, bedroom and of course outside on the balcony, terrace and in the garden. At high tide you are only meters away from the water. You really might feel as if you are on a ship on the sea. The house was built on the foundations of the former “Customs House”, therefore, giving title to its present name.
For your holiday pleasure we have just finished renovating a 2 bedroom apartment on the 1st floor with splendid views overlooking the water .We have used only quality products to provide the comfort and style this magnificent house deserves.

Inside you will find a large comfortable living room, fully equipped beautiful built in kitchen-dinning room, 2 double bedrooms, each with their own bathroom or shower room and separate WC, separate laundry room, as well as 2 separate entries on to the terrace and then down to the walled in garden. French TV and DVD Player. There is private parking.
The apartment provides the perfect view for JUST watching. There are many species of wildlife who visit the nature reserve of the white cliffs and the bay just outside the windows and balcony.

Séjour fantastique
Une semaine avec vent, pluie et soleil, mais l'impression d'avoir le village pour moi tout seul, je vous recommande le "hors saison" ! Côté confort, tout est prévu dans l'appartement, merveilleux coucher et lever de soleil de soleil, pas de bruits avec des fenêtre bien étanches et bruit de la mer si on les ouvre. Très grand confort et très bon accueil.

Außergewöhnliche Unterkunft mit fabelhaftem Ausblick
Die Lage es Hauses ist einmalig am Ufer der Gironde gelegen mit einem fantastischen Ausblick! Trotz der Touristen im Ort ist es in der Wohnung sehr ruhig und man ist ungestört. Die große Wohnung ist sehr schön eingerichtet mit einer tollen Küche und allem anderen, was man benötigt. Im Garten oder auf dem Balkon mit dem tollen Ausblick lässt es sich herrlich entspannen. Valerie hat uns sehr geholfen, als wir Unterstützung benötigten. Vielen Dank! Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und sind rundum begeistert. 😊

Paradise
We had an amazing 10 days in the best holiday accomadation weve ever stayed in. The property itself was spotless with all all you needed for a relaxing break. The views were to die for in this little piece of paradise. The Old Customs House is sutuated in a lovely little village where you could shop and eat if you just wanted a lazy day. Some amazing coastal walks for the more energetic.

Très bon séjour à la Maison de la Vieille Douane
Très bon accueil de Valerie. L’appartement est très bien situé, bien entretenu et au calme, avec vue imprenable sur le port de Talmont et sur l’estuaire. Valerie est vraiment adorable, à l’écoute et j’ai passé un très bon séjour. Je la recommande.
