My husband and I, along with my parents, stayed in this villa in the town of Baud for one week, this summer. We had spotted the villa on the Internet, and the photos and description seemed amazing. However, on arrival at the villa we were disappointed, to say the very least. Firstly, the villa did not look as if it had been properly cleaned since the last people left.
A month or two before the holiday, we made contact to find out if animals were allowed, as my mother is allergic to dogs. We were assured that there were no dogs about the villa. However, when we got into the villa, the first thing I noticed, on the living room table, was a framed photograph of a small white dog. I didn%26#39;t think too much of this, until I noticed a bit of a %26#39;dog%26#39; smell about the villa. It was confirmed the next morning when my husband picked his socks up off the floor - they were covered in white hairs, probably from the dog in the picture. My mum suffered breathing problems for the whole week as a result of this.
It states on the Internet that the villa sleeps 6 people. There were just 4 of us staying, and I was extremely glad that it wasn%26#39;t more, as there was only one bathroom! Not only that, the bathroom was at the end of the house upstairs, and you had to go through the two bedrooms to get to it. My parents stayed in the room adjacent to the bathroom and my husband and I stayed in the room next to theirs. This meant that, whenever either of us had to use the bathroom, we had to walk through our parents%26#39; room! I could not believe the layout - I was only glad there weren%26#39;t 6 of us, I don%26#39;t know how we would have managed!! As if that wasn%26#39;t enough - there was no door on the bathroom either.
I could go on for pages about our disappointments with this villa, like the unfinished tiling jobs and the ‘bad DIY’ appearance of the place. However, I just wanted to write a brief review to let our disappointing experience be known about. Our main problems with the villa were the standard of cleanliness, the layout and lack of bathrooms and the fact that there was a dog allowed in the house, when we were specifically told that this would not be the case.
We expected to spend a week in an extremely luxurious villa, and we paid a lot of money for the accommodation. However, it certainly did not meet our expectations.

Thanks for the warning - it sounds horrible! Only thing is, I have just googled %26#39;villa baud morbihan%26#39; and got about a zillion hits so not sure which one it is! Could do with a bit more info to save confusion!

Hi there! Yes, I know the property is quite difficult to find on the Internet. It is actually a thatched cottage rather than a villa - it looks gorgeous from the outside!! The website for the villa is www.abritel.fr (although I%26#39;m not sure if I%26#39;m supposed to post web addresses). The property number is 602494. Hope this gets you there! Good luck
