Villa Ortensa

Built in the 1960s, the villa was completely redesigned and renovated in 2025 to combine modernity with the authenticity of the Landes. ‘We wanted the house to reflect the region without falling into pastiche,’ the owners explain. ‘Details such as the red bricks of the pool, the La Rhune stone used for the terrace, and the triangular niches brought exactly the charm we were looking for.’

The architecture remains true to the traditional codes of Landes houses, with subtle curves and wide openings that blur the line between indoors and outdoors. Inside, the villa embraces a 1950s to 1970s style, with speckled tiles, cream, butter and sky-blue tones, and olive-colored door handles, blending character with modern comfort.

Inside, the carefully curated décor blends modern design with nostalgic touches. Among the owners’ favorite details are the glass roof flooding the living room with light, the green-painted walls in some rooms, and the villa’s inviting kitchen. The bedrooms come with yoga mats and generous wardrobes, while the dormitory and twin room make it easy to accommodate children and teenagers comfortably.

The villa is fully equipped with fiber-optic internet. For younger guests, a travel cot, high chair and baby bath are available on request. Board games, a barbecue and the heated pool add to the experience. End-of-stay cleaning is included, and a local concierge ensures everything runs smoothly. The result is simple: guests can relax completely and enjoy their time without a single worry.
