This beautiful modern apartment is located in the quiet area of Rotheneuf, near the sculpted rocks and the golden sands of Val beach. Unwind in the comfortable living area while the floor-to-ceiling windows and glass sliding doors lead the way out to the terrace overlooking the sea, allowing the sunlight to reach its way inside. Whether you're making your morning coffee in the well-equipped kitchen and greeting the day out on the terrace, or you're sitting at the dining table to get some work finished remotely, you'll feel right at home in no time. In good weather here, you'll be able to see as far as the Chausey Islands – it's the perfect backdrop to good conversation, evening drinks or morning yoga.

Not only does this home allow you to comfortably enjoy the beauty of the Emerald Coast and the rolling waves at your doorstep, but you'll be close to a range of salubrious amenities like Les Thermes Marins de Saint Malo and Phytomer Spa, where you can spend your day receiving the pampering you deserve – after all, what else is a holiday for? Once you’ve experienced total tranquillity, you’ll be all set to explore the medieval town of Dinan, filled with art and history. Visit the feudal castle and take in the beautiful traditional architecture. Hikers will be able to take advantage of the walking trails atop the Point de la Varde cliffs with incredible views over the whole bay, and through the gorgeous Rance valley with its picturesque landscape punctuated by fishing villages and mills.

Nice to haves

For a Brittany beach stay like no other, this contemporary dwelling has it all. Nautical style, modern amenities and space to stretch out and relax after long days of swimming and sunbathing. And did we mention that sea view? 

Stays here are as laidback and lovely as the photos suggest. Wake up each morning with a full French breakfast on your cute dining set. Open the floor-to-ceiling patio doors and breathe in the sea air from your sunny terrace. Head down to the beach, located just a stone’s throw away, and paddle, play or put your feet up. Then return for a relaxing evening in, and sit out on the deckchairs with a bottle of French wine as you watch the sunset.

If you want to venture out beyond the beach, you’re also ideally located to explore Pléneuf-Val-André, a vibrant seaside resort boasting quaint cafes, elegant restaurants and lively bars. Bienassis Castle is based just a short drive away too if you fancy soaking up some French history. Or, take a trip up the coastline to explore more rugged shores and golden sands.


Nautical Nest

Self Check-in / Check-out

Perched cliffside above the beach of Saint-Énogat, this apartment offers idyllic sea views and makes the perfect setting for a restorative retreat on the Emerald Coast. 

From the outset, you’ll want to pause and admire the striking facade of this building – it evokes a wonderful sense of tradition and ushers you inside with a warm welcome. Head up one flight of stairs and you’ll find this apartment adds a contemporary touch to the rustic charm of its setting. From the light-filled living room styled in calming tones to the simple bedroom (with its own private balcony), every detail inspires a wonderful sense of relaxation. 

Enjoy quiet mornings with a coffee listening to the sound of the waves, sip refreshing drinks as the sunsets and prepare simple meals inspired by the fresh local produce – Saint-Énogat’s weekly market is just a short walk away. And when you’re refreshed and ready to explore, wander straight down to the beach or visit the beautiful coves and towns dotted along the coast – Saint-Malo is less than a twenty-five-minute drive away.

Reap all of the benefits of coastal living in this beachside home. Located in the Côtes-d'Armor area of Brittany, the most northwestern part of France, golden sandy beaches and striking pink granite cliffs are just a stone’s throw from this seaside villa.

Enjoy panoramic sea views thanks to large windows and multiple living spaces to ensure there's always a cosy corner from which to enjoy a glass of wine and a sunset. One of the two living rooms features a fireplace, perfect for getting cosy after a busy day of exploring or cycling around the coastline - bikes are provided so no need to worry about getting around.

This home is ideal for family living, thanks to a private, south-facing garden with plenty of room for playing in, plus a balcony complete with dining table for those all-important family brunches. There's even a ping pong table, which is bound to keep the kids entertained whilst the adults enjoy some well-deserved downtime.

Spend a leisurely morning sipping coffee on the terrace before heading to Fréhel's nautical centre for a spot of surfing the waves, exploring lagoons via paddle board or even boating across the Atlantic Ocean via catamaran. 

Oceanview Villa

Paid Parking On Street

This pretty half-timbered house from the 17th century is located right in the heart of the fairytale-esque Breton town of Dinan and comfortably accommodates up to four guests in its quirky, lovingly-decorated interior that boast its own unique character. 

With a charming blend of original wood features, painted frescos, eye-catching mosaic tiles, and picture frame windows that let in plenty of light, the home feels like it has been lifted from the pages of a Brothers Grimm fairytale. Open up the windows on the ground floor and be greeted by the gentle hum of everyday French village life beyond its pane, allowing the sunlight to stream in whilst you linger over breakfast or a book. 

Step over the threshold and you'll find yourself in the midst of things here in Dinan, with everything from boulangeries to historical attractions right on your doorstep, whilst the coast and its iconic towns such as Saint-Malo are just a short drive away.

The Fairytale Townhouse

Freezer

Desk

Located in a former hotel, this apartment has breathtaking sea views. We particularly love the main bedroom with its four-poster bed and ocean vistas (there's also an office area here if you want to write a travel blog or catch up on work). In fact, there are sea views to enjoy from most rooms. The highlight, though, for us, is the private garden area around the apartment – you have a terrace and garden furniture for alfresco meals – it's a great space overlooking the Grande Plage, as well as the Pointe de la Garde.

Spend idyllic days on the Grande Plage on your doorstep or indulge in some water sports such as surfing, paddleboarding or take some catamaran lessons. If you fancy exploring further afield, then Cape Fréhel, to the west, is perfect for bird watchers, or the nearby charming resort of Saint-Cast-le-Guildo has a small port and coastal paths.


Sea, Sand & Good Times

Wheelchair Access

Ideally positioned, just footsteps from Sillon Beach, this bright and modern home is all about kicking back and relaxing. Wake up feeling refreshed in the soft yellow bedroom before plating up a stack of crêpes at the matte grey kitchenette. Recline on the plump sofa and get lost in a paperback or fill your lungs with the fresh sea air on your private balcony. 

When you’re ready to explore, the heart of Saint-Malo is a short walk away. Soak up unobstructed views of the marina from the city walls then swot up on your French history at Château de Saint-Malo. At low tide, discover the Grand Bé after basking in the sunshine on Plage de Bon-Secours. Finish the day with a feast of Breton cuisine followed by a glass or two of wine in a local restaurant. 

Footsteps From the Sand

Sun Loungers / Beach Chairs

Gorgeously restored with consideration and keen eye for detail, this converted farmhouse offers the best of both archetypal rural France and chic modernity. 

The beautifully finished living area is characterised by its plush furnishings and luxurious finishing touches, lending the entire space a sense of glamour and of occasion. The kitchen, with the same eye-catching exposed stone detailing which runs throughout the property, provides a great place for everyone to come together and prepare a meal based on Breton specialities, including the freshest local seafood pulled from the water which lies just a stone’s throw away. For those with a hankering for vitamin-sea, the superb wide sandy beach of La Guimorais is just 5-minutes’ walk from the property.

Make your way upstairs and you will find two beautifully decorated bedrooms, each of which is filled with light and a feeling of height, thanks to its sloping loft ceilings that reach up into the eaves of the old building. Old stonework contrasts with cool contemporary wallpaper in the master bedroom, continuing the theme of ‘old-meets-new’ which makes the home so captivating, and an elegant standalone bathtub provides an extra unique touch. Imagine soaking in the bath in the comfort of your bedroom, looking out of the opposite window as dusk falls, before heading back downstairs and out onto the terrace for a glass of wine or an alfresco barbecue as evening turns to night.

You’ll find everything you could need during your stay in the delightful village of Saint Coulomb, just 2.5 kilometres from the property, whilst the iconic seaside town of Saint Malo with its historical walled centre and tidal fortress is but 10 kilometres away. 

Elemental Harmony

Shared Washing Machine

Perfect for a couple, this contemporary oasis in Lanvallay is a real gem. Spend mornings sipping freshly-brewed coffee in the shared garden with today’s paper, afternoons reclining on the plump blue sofa sipping a glass of Muscadet, and evenings in the sleek kitchen rustling up a regional cheese plate – either way, this elegant home is a welcoming space to spend time in.

Inside, there are contemporary designs and a stunning scenic feature wall that creates a sense of calm. It’s a bright and inviting space to unwind after a day strolling the cobbled streets and exploring the 14th-century Dinan Castle, a short drive away. 

Soak up the Brittany culture in Dinan with a tour of the medieval half-timbered houses, a visit to the 15th-century artillery tower of Tour du Coëtquen, and an authentic dinner of pork rillettes at a family-owned bistrot. As evening descends, amble along The Rance River with a sweet chantilly crêpe in hand. 

Scenic & Serene

Pets Allowed

With captivating views of the twinkling waters of Erquy's port de pêche, this home provides a great base from which to begin your own seaside odyssey, exploring the myriad sights, sounds, smells, and tastes that make coastal France so uniquely beguiling. 

Tear open those windows and feel the sea air rush in and fill the surprisingly wide-open, uncluttered spaces of the apartment – we can't think of many better ways to start a day than with a few invigorating breaths of salty-sweet oceanic breeze. After a light brunch on the patio, Erquy and its surrounds are beckoning, its delights just waiting to be uncovered. 

Frequent some of the many local ice cream parlors, restaurants, or bars located just a stone's throw from the apartment for a taste of authentic Breton cuisine. Mosy to the nearest beach, just 5-minutes walk away. Or, for something a little more active, why not sign up for the well-regarded sailing school, surf classes, or hire a jet ski for an afternoon of wave-riding? Those with a penchant for golf are in luck too, with the 18-hole course at Pléneuf Val just 10-minutes away by car.

We can easily see why Layers Upon Layers was chosen as one of the best homes for breaks in France in 2016 — it's typical French countryside home with oodles of charm and plenty of amenities that will help you make lifelong memories. The interior has been furnished with gorgeous furniture that give it a rather retro-rustic atmosphere, and the host is keen on restoring period features, so that you can immerse yourself into the spirit of rural France. Meneac is far from a ghost town even outside of the tourist season, making it a great destination year-round, but there are plenty of interesting villages and castles to explore in the area. When you've had your fill of sights for the day, return to your holiday residence and try out a new recipe, or get the charcoal barbecue going in the garden. After a nice meal, treat yourself to some local wine and organise a movie night with the help of the big flat-screen TV that's equipped with Freeview.

This slice of tropical modernity comes as quite a surprise in a town known for its medieval ramparts and cobbled streets. A timber cabin-style home that wouldn't look out of place in the world's most exotic corners, it's even set in a private garden that's inspired by the jungle. With three bedrooms and a family-friendly open layout, it's stylish, spacious and smart.

Inside, the wood floors and white walls are calm and neutral, with comfy furnishings and lots of house plants. There's a sleek contemporary kitchen with an island where you can sit on the stools and chat as someone rustles up dinner, and both an indoor and an outdoor dining table.

And it's outside where we think you'll be spending most of your time if you're here in the summer months. Step out of your sliding doors and straight onto the deck, partly shaded with a sail over the comfy loungers. And, you guessed it, this place also comes with a private, heated pool. 

Just hanging out here is pretty perfect in our opinion but when you want to head out and explore, the town is less than half an hour away on foot or a five-minute drive. Book a nearby boat trip, visit St Malo or discover some of the sandy beaches on the coast.

 

Tranquility Basecamp

Fenced Property

This beautiful, two-storey terraced house is located in the Rochebonne district and only 20 meters from the beach. The property offers direct access to the beach and boasts a well-kept garden and south-facing terrace with outdoor furniture and a barbecue grill. The cosy living room features comfortable seating and a flat-screen TV, while the open kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances. Upstairs, guests will find three bedrooms, one with a dressing room, as well as two bathrooms. With free WiFi and reserved parking for up to two cars, this property is perfect for families or groups of friends seeking a relaxing seaside holiday. Nearby attractions include St Malo's Grand Aquarium and Le Mont St Michel, making this property an ideal base for exploring the region.

Staring at the Sea

While the Mediterranean beaches in the south of France are constantly lauded, the ruggedly beautiful seaside spots at the top end of the country are underrated by comparison. If you want to see a splendid example of one such resort, this home in Sables-d'Or-les-Pins will convert almost anybody.

There's almost something quite rustic about the address, whether it's the large tree-filed garden surrounding the house or the pretty stone facade. Behind the front door, it's a little more contemporary than you might imagine, with the sort of stark white walls, smart wooden floors and sleek kitchen surfaces that wouldn't look out of place in a stylish city apartment. Saying that, the living room's large window and feature fireplace add a level of cosiness, although sadly the latter is only decorative.

Such is the humble size of the local town, the bulk of the attractions and conveniences are only a short walk away. The main beach is 1km, for instance, while there are tennis and golf facilities all of two minutes away on foot. In the centre of town, there's a small selection of restaurants and bars to tide you over during your visit.



Great Breton

Security System

Sunny, welcoming, and cheerful – this apartment is a wonderful choice for your Brittany getaway. Nestled on a quiet street in the village of Rothéneuf, the location boasts the best of both worlds – peaceful and friendly while being close to the walled city of Saint-Malo and its museums, historical sights, and bars. The cherry on top? You can get to the sandy beach of Le Val in just a few minutes on foot. 

Light pours into this apartment through the floor-to-ceiling windows – a constant source of joy. Whether you're preparing food in the kitchen, perched on a stool around the table, or stretching out on the sofa, you'll love how naturally bright this home is. And the best place to bask in the sunlight is on the spacious balcony – the perfect spot for savouring your morning coffee while enjoying your current read.

Calming days can be spent taking leisurely walks along the beach, stopping to soak in the sun and going for a swim on a good day. If you want something a bit more active, the walking trails atop the Pointe de la Varde cliffs are particularly beautiful. One of the most fascinating things in the region can be found here, too. You'll find over 300 granite rock sculptures at Les Rochers Sculptés, which were carved out in the late 1800s. After a day of exploring Rothéneuf, head to Saint-Malo for a gorgeous dinner along the waterfront, overlooking the vast Mediterranean sea. 

Stroke of Light

This lovely home is a real delight. It was recently renovated, and has been beautifully decorated – you can tell how much love has gone into this home. Hues of green and jade run throughout the decor, resulting in a soothing vibe. When you’re on holiday, you want to be able to relax in style, and that’s just what you can do here. 

The stunning monochrome kitchen is a great place to begin your day, whether you’re simply preparing coffee or whipping up a feast. Everything you might need has been considered here, so cooking is a pleasure rather than a chore. When everyone is seated around the dining table, you’ll see why this home is so popular with families and groups of friends – there’s plenty of room for everyone to gather together. 

If the sun is shining, you’ll want to be outside. Lie out on a sun lounger to top up your Vitamin D, or dive right into the heated swimming pool. The south-facing terrace is a wonderful spot, looking out over the lush gardens – we’d be tempted to fire up the barbecue for a dinner under the stars. You’re close to the coast so the seafood is great – the scallops from the Bay of Saint-Brieuc in particular are divine. 


Jungle Greens

Safe

There's something special about waking up to a view each morning, and at this bright and cheerful apartment in Saint-Malo you'll have just that. Whether you're waking up from your restful slumbers in the comfortable bedrooms and cradling a cup of coffee on the balcony, enjoying breakfast in the light-filled dining area, or catching up with friends in the stylish living space, views of Solidor beach can be admired from every angle. 

Throw open the windows, kick back on the velvet sofa and relax with the sea breeze washing over you, as you map out the day ahead. We love the palm-themed artwork and rattan details that add to the cool and calm feel around the home. 

When it's time to head out, grab your seaside essentials and take the short walk to the sandy beach right on your doorstep for a day of sunbathing and swimming. And if you're in town for sightseeing, you can reach the historic centre of Intra-Muros in fifteen minutes on foot along the coast. There's also a fish market on the square of St Servan nearby and a small oyster market every Sunday on the Place Bouvet square. 

Sea Through You

We fell hard for this characterful home not far from the St Lunaire coastline and we're pretty sure other guests will be just as smitten. A lot of that is down to the design. Much of it is contemporary in scope, from the minimalist kitchen and stark white walls to the bare wooden floors and the chic selection of furnishings. However, there are a few features that hark back to the past, like the large cabinets filled with curios and the vintage wall signs.

One of our favourite parts of the home, however, is just how bright it feels – that's what'll happen if you fill the walls with large windows, skylights and floor-to-ceiling glass doors. If you want to feel the sun directly on your skin, you only have to step outside onto one of the pair of terraces, which have both loungers and an alfresco dining table for making the most of sunny weather.

If you're lucky with the forecast, you'll probably want to make the most of the fact that St Lunaire's main beach is less than a kilometre away and there are a few more along this stretch of Breton coastline to explore. The centre of town is just as close when you want restaurants and shops, but there's a greater variety in the Dinard, only a short drive away.

Past, Present, Future

Located in the charming fishing port of Binic, France lies this sweet apartment with an open-plan setup and beautiful views of the sea. Snuggle up in the cosy bedroom or relax on the quaint balcony overlooking the sea and watch the waves roll in. Or make yourself a morning cup of coffee in the small yet practical kitchen, equipped with all the basics for essential cooking.

If you're hoping to stay in a beautiful little French town with the beach at your doorstep and surrounded by comfort, style and convenience, look no further – this is a stay for the whole family, including your four-legged friends! Whether it's spending a day at the beach, looking around the local shops and market or taking part in one of the many tourist activities available in the area, you're sure to have a wonderful time. And after each day you'll have the pleasure of returning to an apartment that has everything you'll need for a short stay to soak in the beauty and culture of northwest France. Everything you need inside, and close enough to a beach and other local amenities that a car isn't needed everytime you step outside. Just relax, explore and enjoy.

You, Me & The Sea

Head up to the first floor of this home close to the Brittany coastline and you're treated to views of the sea and the narrow Sillon de Talbert stretching out through the water. Back down at ground level, it's not possible to catch a glimpse of this vista, but there's an innate sense of peace and tranquillity that often comes with being close to the sea.

During spells of warm weather, guests can while away the hours on the loungers and dining table on the terrace, or even play games on the large lawn. When you finally head inside, you're sure to be instantly struck by the minimalist interior. Large windows and glass doors invite in bountiful amounts of natural light and this is accentuated by the stark white walls and shiny wooden floors. The black kitchen is all clean lines and smooth surfaces, while the furnishings are subtle and unshowy to match.

When it comes to seeing a little more of the local area, you can walk to Sillon de Talbert in eight minutes and Pors Rand beach in eleven. The island of Bréhat is well worth a visit for its pink granite and Mediterranean microclimate, and can be easily reached by boat.


Sumptuous Simplicity

This delightful home is a countryside dream. Quaint in style, this home is part of a magnificent 400-year-old building, beautifully renovated and modernised. Exuding calm, you will feel the ambience before you even enter. Soft cream stone and white shutters set the scene for the beauty that resides indoors. The open-plan kitchen and living space is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a romantic evening cooking dinner. The moss green chaise centrepiece is where you may kick your slippers off and pop your feet up for an evening in front of the open fireplace. Moving up your spiral staircase, you’ll find a lovely bedroom decorated in French chic decor. Archway doorways, beamed ceilings and soft cream interiors set the scene for a restful night's sleep. 

On waking in the morning, peek out of your delightful windows across the countryside. Feel the warmth of the sun on your face and a gentle breeze as you sip on your morning coffee. Whilst you’ll be residing in this serene rural area, you’ll smell the salt water with the beaches only 2km away. Close to the village centre and quaint shops, you’ll have plenty to entertain you across the Emerald Coast. 

Moss Cottage

Pool / Snooker Table

Meeting / Conference Rooms

If you're a fan of history, you'll love just how much history is in store for you at this fifteenth-century château. Surrounded by seven acres of private land, there are plenty of games to be played and trails to be explored. There's also a badminton set, billiards and a ping-pong table, which means the kids will be entertained for days. When you're ready to explore the surrounding scenery, the beaches at Plestin Les Greves are guaranteed to make you fall in love with the area.

La Rivière

Situated on the commune of Pleneuf-Val-Andre less than 1km from the beach lies this cosy home. Perfect for families, you'll have a large garden to let the kids play in alongside your furry friends, and a raised terrace with seating outdoors to comfortably enjoy the fresh air and blue skies. In the day, large windows and doors to the terrace let the sunlight bathe the open-plan living space, and you'll have the option of whipping up something in the kitchen, throwing a barbecue in the sunshine or heading out to one of many choices for fantastic nearby restaurants. In the evening, sit under the stars with a drink or gather in the living room with a movie on the big screen and let the wood stove heat you up – a perfect cosy evening.

You'll be close to the port of Dahouet, and will be able to benefit from close proximity to shops and pick up any necessities you might need. You won't have to compromise the practicality of your stay just because you want to stay away from the busiest areas and tourist traps! It's only a stroll down to the nearest beach where you can appreciate the sand, sun and sea of the coastline. Not to mention you'll also be close to an array of wonderful bars, boutiques and markets where you can immerse yourself in the culture of Pleneuf-Val-Andre and really feel like a local.

In the Pocket of the Sea

Sitting within the winding network of historic streets in the Intra-Muros neighbourhood of Saint-Malo, you couldn't ask for a better spot in the Brittany seaside town. Everything from Eventail beach to the cathedral lies within walkable distance, while there's even a rather peaceful view of the English Channel – or La Manche, depending on your disposition – out through the window. 

The apartment itself is humbly sized, sure, but we're impressed by the simple and contemporary design found behind the front door. White walls and smart wooden floors are a timeless combo, while the furnishings, lighting and artwork selection are subtle and unshowy – and all the more chic for it. It's the sort of space that's sure to give you a bit of inspo for when you're next doing up your home address.

As mentioned, you don't have to venture far to find some of Saint-Malo's big sights, but once you've exhausted the small town – which might take longer than you think – you can catch a ferry over to Dinard on the other side of La Rance for more beaches and historic architecture.

Coastal Blues

Situated just 10 metres from the beach and a short walk from the heart of Erquy, this straight-talking apartment is ideal for a small family or two couples. Inside, it’s calm and collected with vintage furnishings in the living space and a sleek kitchen with everything you need for putting together Breton-inspired dishes. Begin your mornings with a coffee on the quiet balcony before grabbing your seaside essentials and skipping down to the stretch of golden sand. 

Stroll into town for freshly caught scallops in a local restaurant then explore the Cap d’Erquy moors. Head home in the late afternoon to watch the sun set over the harbour with a glass of wine in hand. And when it’s time to get some rest, an early night is impossible to resist thanks to the supremely comfortable beds dressed in crisp, white linens.

Harbour & Tide

This modern yet comfortable apartment is close (but not too close) to the heart of Saint-Melo, offering its guests some peace and quiet away from the thrum. Inside, expect muted licks of red, blue and green and a curated selection of furnishings. There’s an open-plan living space for both entertaining and relaxing and a handy kitchenette with everything you need for rustling up quick mid-week dinners. Sip the last of your coffee on the private balcony before throwing on your sunhat and making haste to Bon Secours Beach. Take a dip in the seawater pool or stretch out on the golden sand. 

If you’d like to explore a little, begin with a wander along the city walls then discover the history of the Château de Saint-Malo. Amble down the narrow streets of the Intra-Muros – deliberate over menus outside traditional eateries, peruse the independent boutiques and savour sweet crepes in an unfussy creperie.

One Step Beyond

Ceiling Fans

Doorman

Nestled along the Malouine coast, this sleek apartment invites you to unwind and appreciate the beauty of Saint-Malo's quiet Rothéneuf region on foot. You have sandy beaches nearby, including Plage du Val, less than a ten-minute walk away, while Havre de Rothéneuf, a beautiful little cove, is also well within reach. Keen hikers can embark on a 10km walk between the Pointe du Grouin and Cap Fréhel, which will really introduce you to the idyllic seascape.

Whether you're sunbathing on the beach or hiking up the rocky cliffs, you'll love returning to this family-size apartment, ideal for seamless modern living. It's wonderfully bright and open due to the vast skylights, large sliding glass doors, and sociable layout.

The biggest draw is, of course, the outside space. With two furnished balconies, you'll be cradling your morning coffees and tucking into breakfast while watching the changing moods of the sea. It's the perfect spot for those after a private and peaceful place to relax. 

Sea it Clearly

Paid Parking

Set in the historic heart of Dinan, this timeless home puts you in the centre of so many medieval landmarks, such as the St. Catherine Tower and the Château de Dinan. Stroll along these cobbled streets and browse the nearby artisan shops on the Rue du Jerzual. Here, you'll find beauty everywhere you look, so be sure to bring your camera or sketchbook for the incredible architecture that awaits.

From the moment you step inside, you'll see how the traditional wood beams, stone walls, and decorative fireplace honour the remarkable heritage of this 16th-century building. When you wake up from a good night's sleep, come downstairs and turn on your Senseo coffee machine each morning. As you convene at the dining table, nibble on croissants and chat through your daily plans. Later, you'll want to return to this elegant living space and listen to your favourite songs on the hi-fi. Or, how about a friendly chess tournament with your family before bedtime?

Timbered Trove

If you're after a comfortable and stylish place to call home while exploring the beautiful Brittany coastline, then look no further than this family-size house with everything needed for an endlessly relaxing stay. Located on the outskirts of Saint-Briac, you're a short walk from several sandy beaches and outstanding golf courses, while being just 1.5 kilometres from the town centre, full of charm and character, with granite houses, small cobbled streets, bakeries, shops, and seafood restaurants. 

Architecturally, it's a stunning design and we love how the owners have made use of the space. With the double-vaulted ceiling, skylights, and floor-to-ceiling windows making the home wonderfully inviting and open. Whether you're cooking in the contemporary kitchen, mapping out the daily plans around the dining table, or enjoying your holiday read in the cosy living area, it's all in one space so you can really make the space into your own social sanctuary. 

The star of the show is the large decked terrace outside, complete with seating and a barbecue for alfesco meals in the sunshine. When it's time to head out, walk to the pristine sand of Plage Du Bechet or Plage De La Salinette, and enjoy fun-filled days sunbathing and swimming. 

Pure & Simple

Sun Umbrellas

Nestled away in the village of Plumaudan, this classic French home is waiting to welcome you in with open arms. Step inside and your eyes will be drawn to the original features that this home boasts, such as the imposing, grand fireplace and the exposed wooden beams. Sitting alongside the old, you’ll find an inviting chaise sofa, just the place to relax after a long day out exploring the local area. 

Climb the twisting wooden staircase and upstairs, there are two charming bedrooms which promise a peaceful night’s sleep once the day is done. Our favourite spot, though, is the sunny south-facing garden – just the place to start or end your day. So, whether it’s with a coffee first thing as you listen to the backdrop of birdsong, or last thing at night with a glass of fine French wine and some quality time with loved ones, this is a place to be enjoyed. 

The local village of Plumaudan is picturesque and a quiet location to spend your days. If you’re planning to travel further afield, we’d recommend a visit to the mediaeval town of Dinan, just 12 kilometres away, where you can stroll around the port, enjoy a spot of lunch or even rent a boat if a day on the water tickles your fancy. 

Classic Tranquility

Bike Shed

This beautiful home with its quaint wooden shutters, feature fireplace and wooden beams is utterly charming. At its heart, an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area is the perfect place for making memories with loved ones. In colder months, gather for a hearty breakfast around the dining table as the fire crackles and glows beside you. When it’s time to put your feet up, the generous corner sofa ensures there’s plenty of space for all to snuggle and recount tales of the day’s adventures. 

Our favourite spot here has to be the garden. It’s just the place to retreat to when you need a little quiet time. Settle down on a sun lounger with a glass of French wine and a good book, and get lost in a story for a few hours. In such a tranquil setting and with the quiet of nature surrounding you, it’s a blissful way to spend the day. As evening starts to call, you may decide to gather everyone for a spot of alfresco dining, where you can watch the sky dance through an array of colours as the sun slowly starts its descent. 

When it’s time to tear yourself away from this quiet retreat, take a ten-minute stroll and you’ll find yourself on the beautiful 7km sandy stretch of Berneuf beach. Sink your feet into the sand and take in a deep breath of sea air, as calmness washes over you. You’ll never want to leave. 

Golden Charm

Situated in the desirable commune of Lamballe-Armor, this contemporary farmhouse is an ideal base for a family or group of friends after a coastal retreat with a little extra sparkle. Stepping inside, you'll find clean lines, an open-plan layout and floor-to-ceiling windows that make an instant impression. We love the striking wood-burning stove, connecting the chic living space with a light-filled dining area and sleek chef's kitchen for seamless modern living. 

Pour yourself a glass of something bubbly, before soaking up the sun from your private roof terrace with dazzling sea views. Relax on a lounger or enjoy lunch alfresco as you top up your tan. There are several furnished terraces, perfectly suited for your outdoor dining needs, including a pretty patio area and garden at the back of the house. 

Location-wise, you're a five-minute stroll from the sandy beach of Port Morvan for effortless afternoons relaxing by the crystal waters. We also recommend a visit to the beautiful fishing port of Dahouet and the seaside resort of Val André – both are just five minutes away by car. 

Seaside Glamour

A serene spot on the beachfront in Saint-Malo, this seaside escape invites guests to make ever-lasting memories in delightfully blissful conditions. Built in 1906, you'll be just metres away from the sandy shores of le Grande Plage. With direct beach access via the stairs in front of the villa, from here, you're encouraged to meditate, do yoga, or relax while taking in the stunning blue views with a cup of tea in hand. Inside the beach villa, classic and nautical designs present a home bursting with character. We love the antique furniture pieces which add traditional French charm with bags of elegance. 

Thanks to its on-point location, you can enjoy scenic beach walks, rollerblading or cycling on the seawall. There's also a surf school just 200 metres away, and if actively participating in watersports isn't your thing, the beach's kitesurfers, windsurfers or surfers will guarantee an excellent show. Meanwhile, a mini-market and the many nearby restaurants offer an endless opportunity to sample the local Brittany delicacies and fresh seafood in Saint-Malo. 



Staring out to Sea 

Free Parking

EV Charger

Located in Plumieux, this charming home is welcoming in a minimalist kind of way, and under the exposed rafters, you’ll find the space to socialise, relax, and completely unwind. 

Beyond the four walls, you’ll find an outdoor area perfectly capable of hosting alfresco meals every day, so delight in the fresh air as you dig into scrambled eggs and croissants for breakfast every morning. The ancient church spire can also be seen from out here, and if you wish to get a closer look at the whole building, you can walk to Église Saint-Pierre in mere minutes.

Explore the rest of the village or travel to Loudéac, at the other end of a short drive, for more dining and shopping options. If you’re staying in, take advantage of the terrace for socialising with cheese and wine. Move inside and turn the dining table into a tabletop for board games or spend quiet evenings in conversation in the cosy living room.

Green Postbox

Juicer

Overlooking a small beach on the atmospheric shores of Dinard, this traditional family home has been lovingly restored into a private seaside sanctuary. 

Set across two floors with an adjoining self-contained apartment, you’ll find an abundance of space to relax and savour the simple pleasures of coastal living. From laid-back gatherings in the living room to refreshing drinks in the garden and intimate candlelit dinners, this is the kind of space that inspires you to settle in and make it your own. And with Dinard’s colourful market just a short walk away, you’ll find it easy to connect with the authentic charm of Brittany. 

From here, it’s just a five-minute walk to Prieuré beach where days can be spent strolling along the sand, embracing ice-cold swims, picnics and incredible views of nearby Saint-Malo (just a fifteen-minute drive away). Families will love the close proximity to the mini-golf course, while Promenade du Clair de Lune makes the perfect setting to watch the sunset. 

Primrose Sea

Emanating quintessential coastal charm, this delightful holiday apartment in the storybook town of Saint-Malo combines elements of rustic-chic – courtesy of the exposed stone detailing – with thoroughly modern influences.

Whitewashed wooden beams and high sloping ceilings are the primary features of the living area which give you a sense of both the building's history and its timeless charm. Light fills each room through large windows, illuminating cosy corners that are just made for curling up with a good book and a cup of tea. 

After a day of exploring the numerous highlights to be found in Saint-Malo (the centre of which is a ten-minute walk away), luxuriate over a home-cooked meal in the dining room – a carefully thought-out space that invites you to linger with your loved one over typical Breton specialities, including the freshest seafood, pulled from the water just moments away. 

Stone Walls & White

Just a few steps from the sands of Plage de la Hoguette, this home offers a modern base to make the most of this historic port city. The interior combines coastal tones, bold accents, and contemporary touches that inspire a sense of calm. And whether you’re here with a culturally-packed itinerary, an adrenaline-fuelled surf retreat or a family beach break, this is a place you’ll look forward to returning home to. 

Open up the French doors in the serene bedroom and sip your morning coffee, accompanied by a coastal breeze. Whip up a hearty breakfast in the sleek kitchen to share in your charming garden with your loved ones before heading out to sink your toes in the sand. The open-concept living area is a cosy space thanks to its rich teal velvets, charcoal grey furnishings and golden mustard textiles – crashing here with a glass of Rosé d'Anjou after a day on the waves is blissful. 

When you’re ready to explore, the city’s cultural and historical highlights are all within walking distance – from discovering the unique history of the National Fort to exploring the city’s abundant food markets to hiking the GR34 trail. Make sure to sample oysters caught off the coast with a glass of locally-produced cider on the promenade.

Musings in Saint-Malo

Blu Ray Player

Ice Machine

Resting on the Côtes-d'Armor, this sunny apartment boasts beautiful views over the Bay of Saint-Brieuc. Only a six-minute stroll from the Casino Val André, you'll have easy access to the restaurant-dotted promenade here. Alternatively, go shopping at one of the local morning markets, then soak up the spectacular seascape at the Chemin de la Pointe de Pléneuf observation deck.

From the moment you step inside, this bright home welcomes you in with its floor-to-ceiling windows and an open-plan layout. For breakfast, wander into the sleek kitchen and indulge your sweet tooth by sharing a plateful of French pastries. Then, hop under the rain shower before heading out to explore the vicinity. When you return, unwind on your southwest-facing balcony with a cup of coffee in hand. After dark, the DVD player promises great movie nights, and this telescope might just tempt you to stargaze. Before drifting off to sleep, take a book from the shelf and switch on the reading lamps.

For Sky Watchers

Sitting just across the street from the golden sands of Grande Plage du Sillon, this fourth-floor apartment is treated to a front-row seat on Saint-Malo's coastline and the architect has rather thoughtfully covered the walls of the apartment with large windows so you gaze out at the seaside. Even better, there's a balcony to stand on for a burst of sea air and sunshine on your skin.

Given that your eyes are naturally drawn to what lies outside, it makes sense that the design doesn't try to compete. However, there's a sleek subtlety to the stark white walls, deliciously sleek kitchen and geometric furnishings – the square dining table next to the double-aspect windows is a particularly picturesque spot for dinner.

When it comes to seeing a little more of Saint-Malo, there's way more than the neighbouring beach to keep you occupied. Fort National can be visited if you time the tides right, while the winding alleys and streets of the historic Intra-Muros area are less than ten minutes away on foot as well.



Can I Take Your Picture?

If you’re seeking a coastal gem minutes from the sands of Saint-Malo, this contemporary dwelling has it all. Just a short walk from Rochebonne Beach, and with a nautical style, modern amenities and light-filled interior – this boho gem is perfect to stretch out and relax in after long days of swimming and sun-soaking. 

Stepping inside, you'll find clean lines, natural textures and artworks inspired by this home’s coastal location that make an instant impression. We love the open-plan living space – with its velvety corduroy sofa and glittered wave paintings –  pour yourself a glass of cider and settle here with your loved ones for conversations about today’s surf.

Location-wise, you're a few minutes’ stroll from the sandy shores, where you can spend days riding the waves and eating oysters. We also recommend a visit to the centre of the city, a quick drive away, to soak up the local culture. Dine in an authentic seafront restaurant and sip a local beer overlooking the waves.
