Hi everyone,
It never fails - once I start writing trip reports I immediately start planning another trip. But I guess this is probably a normal occurrence for most of you, yes?
We are in the process of narrowing down some options for late May/early June of this year. I know that construction is prevalent and hard to avoid, but I'm mainly concerned about line-of-site large cranes and beep-beep-beep/ack-ack-ack types of noise. Our two finalists are Le Perchoir (picture 1 - I think I have this location correct near Flamands but please correct me if i'm wrong), and Villa Paradis (picture 2 - on the road between St Jean and Lorient).
Construction possibilities aside, here are my perceived pros/cons:
Le Perchoir
Pros - heated pool and hot jacuzzi, shaded deck near the pool, a/c and screens throughout, rental car included with weekly rate.
Cons - no late afternoon sun (although this could be a pro), possible major construction just below the villa and near Cheval Blanc
Villa Paradis
Pros - hearing the waves, sidewalk access to St Jean/Nikki/Shops, sunset views,
Cons - slightly higher rate, no car included, a/c in bedrooms only, no jacuzzi or pool heat (we got REALLY spoiled with the pool heat at Villa Manon!)
My preference is definitely leaning toward Le Perchoir, but I'm very concerned about construction. Does anyone have any knowledge about what is happening in that area?
I'll appreciate any advice the experts here can provide, so thanks in advance!
