A large house has been divided into four apartments, each with their own private access.

Easily accessed from the N2 road with parking available.

A change of scenery and a friendly atmosphere is guaranteed.

As well as her smile, Nicole will offer you a welcome drink: Ti punch or local fruit juice (mango, pineapple…)

She will also put some basic food provisions in your cottage cupboards so that you can relax on your first night; pasta, sauces and everything you will need for breakfast on the first morning.

For fans of scuba diving or snorkelling, Nicole, the owner, and also a state-qualified diving instructor, will be able to give you some advice on the best sites to explore to ensure you have a great holiday.

Passionate about life under the sea, Nicole chose to settle in Petite Anse because:
