Local area description
Villeneuve‑en‑Retz is a peaceful and scenic destination in the Pays de la Loire, ideal for holidaymakers seeking nature, coastline, and authentic French charm. The area is known for its wide‑open landscapes, cycling routes, wildlife reserves, and easy access to some of the region’s most beautiful beaches and coastal towns.
Your estate sits in a completely private 100‑acre woodland, offering total seclusion with gardens, walking trails, and a pool — a rare combination of tranquillity and space. Despite its privacy, everything you need is close by: the vibrant town of Machecoul is just 5 minutes away, with supermarkets, bakeries, shops, pharmacies, a doctor, and even a vet.
The Atlantic coast is only 15 minutes away, giving you quick access to sandy beaches, seaside walks, and water activities. The charming harbour town of Pornic lies around 20 km away, perfect for seafood restaurants, coastal paths, and family‑friendly beaches.
For day trips, the estate is ideally positioned:
• Nantes and Nantes Airport – approx. 35 km
• Noirmoutier Island – around 45 minutes
• La Baule – around 45 minutes
• Puy du Fou – approx. 1h45 minutes
Villeneuve‑en‑Retz also borders the Marais Breton, a protected natural area known for birdwatching, cycling, and peaceful waterways. The region offers a relaxed pace of life, weekly markets, local produce, and easy access to both countryside and coast — making it a perfect base for families, couples, and nature lovers.
Whether you’re exploring the Loire‑Atlantique coastline, discovering nearby islands, or simply enjoying the privacy of your own woodland estate, Villeneuve‑en‑Retz offers a holiday experience that is both serene and wonderfully connected.

Just come back from the most fantastic week here. We had two families and we're looked after brilliantly. There was so much to do at the chateaux and the days were spent swimming and cycling. Some great towns near by. Jennifer was a superb host and could not have been more helpful. No hesitation on recommending, if you are looking at this review then I would highly recommend booking - you won't be disappointed! Thanks team for a great stay. Hope to be back next year.

We had the most wonderful family holiday at Château Chevreuil. The property was splendid, and equipped with everything we could possibly need. The pool was amazing, for young and old alike. There was plenty to keep everyone occupied on the property, and, when we were ready to venture out, many activities and interesting places to visit within a short drive. And finally I have to say that I have never encountered such helpful and on-hand hosts, ready instantly with an answer, a suggestion or a solution to a query. In conclusion, a perfect holiday, with many happy memories.

Absolutely divine residence. Fantastic well equipped kitchen. Glorious grounds and Jennifer was on hand to help with everything from finding a great beach bar to making the reservation’s. Could not have enjoyed our stay more

A great resort for a large group to spend a relaxing holiday together. The houses are superbly furnished, especially the kitchens. The grounds and garden are flat and inviting for strolls. The swimming pool is large and relatively deep. We were well looked after by the management. A lovely retreat

We had an amazing family holiday at Château Chevereuil, celebrating our birthday with a large group. The château, the other building and the extensive private grounds are beautiful and very relaxing. We had everything we needed and the place was spotlessly clean. The hosts had thought of everything and we can't wait to return.
