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.

Located in Saint-Malo, the age and history of this beautiful home become apparent as soon as you start to climb the narrow, steep period staircase up to the third floor. Open the door to your home-away-from-home, and you’re met with charm and character in abundance. This is a retreat for those who enjoy life's older, finer things.

There’s so much to love about this apartment. Quaint wooden shutters surround generous windows that usher in natural light. Wooden floors, an original stone fireplace, exposed wooden beams, and stone walls complete the look. Despite the age of this home, it’s been brought to life with modern furnishings and pops of colour, making it a cosy, comfortable place to rest. Golden touches bring a sense of glamour and luxury to this age-old space.

Nestled on a quiet street in the heart of the city, everything is within easy reach when you’re ready to get out and explore. In particular, there are beaches and a whole host of shops less than 100 metres away. Head to the coast, breathe in the salty sea air and you’ll feel a sense of calm wash over you. When weariness sets in, stroll home where you can settle down on your chaise sofa with a glass of fine wine to finish off the day in style.

You’ll fall blissfully asleep in the elegant bedrooms – the waves just beyond your window.

Location-wise, you're a few minutes’ walk from the shoreline, where you can spend days along the promenade sampling the local oysters. We also recommend a visit to the centre of the city to soak up the local culture – we suggest the Romanesque and Gothic-style Saint-Malo Cathedral and the 18th-century privateer’s museum, La Demeure de Corsaire.

Destress with a glass of wine, rustle up a French-inspired feast, or throw on your favourite DVD and settle in for a romantic movie night on the sofa. Whatever your mood, this place has got you covered. 

Of course, it wouldn’t be a coastal escape without a trip to the beach, so why not wander down to Plage de Bon-Secours for a day of sun, sea, and sand with your significant other? Go for a relaxing stroll along the coast or stay put and watch the sun go down over the glistening water, then head back home for a good night’s rest in your cosy, king-size bed. We can’t imagine anything better.

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.

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.

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.

Upon the Rocks of Malouin

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.

There’s a vivid kitchen for preparing dinners with the produce you picked up from Marché de Saint-Servan, and after a day perusing the promenade and touring Saint-Vincent Cathedral of Saint-Malo, you’ll look forward to a blissful night’s sleep in the soft and stylish bedrooms. 

Saint Malo’s pristine sand beaches are just a short stroll away – grab a flaky pastry from your local boulangerie before enjoying a morning swim. At the golden hour, sample a couple of locally-caught oysters and a glass of Muscadet overlooking the bobbing boats in the port.

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

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

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.

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.

The Cozy Retreat

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?

This is a stunning 2-storey, 4-room apartment in the Solidor district, with an excellent location that's both central and quiet. Just 50m from the beach and sea, this cosy apartment boasts a marvellous view of the sea. It's fully renovated with modern furnishings and electric shutters. The large living/dining room has a double sofa bed, flat-screen TV, and ample space to relax. The open kitchen is equipped with an oven, dishwasher, induction hot plates, toaster, kettle, microwave, freezer, and electric coffee machine. There are three bedrooms: one large room with a French bed, hand-basin, shower, and electric shutters; two rooms each with two beds and electric shutters.

Casa de Maritè

And just a short walk from the beach, this apartment welcomes you to discover the beauty of this northern enclave. 

From sun-dappled strolls along the Au Clair de Lune promenade to setting sail on boat trips and browsing colourful market stalls, it's easy to fall in love with the charm of this special location.

Savour drinks and candlelit meals around the table, get cosy on the sofa with a book and find a wonderful sense of relaxation in the bedrooms. Whether you’re here for an action-packed getaway or a slow-paced escape, this apartment will leave you feeling renewed and ready to explore. 

Sea Sage 

Sitting close to the point at which La Rance meets La Manche, this home puts guests in an excellent location for exploring the famed beach resort of Dinard.

However, it's fair to say that there's a lot more riding in this address's favour that the spot it occupies on the map. For a start, it's actually made up of two properties that have been joined up and consequently, there's a huge amount of space behind the front door – something only emphasised by the open layout and wealth of natural light from the large windows. Added to that, the design is sleek and contemporary throughout, especially the minimalist kitchen and bathrooms.

There are wonderful views of the coastline to be had out through the windows and you can enjoy these with a sea breeze on your face as you take up residence on the large terrace, which wraps around two sides of the home. As well as that, guests also get the run of a small garden where it's easy to find a shady spot.

When you want to see a little more of the town that has drawn in illustrious visitors for quite some time, there's a coastal path all of 20m from the path that will take you around the coastline and to the golden sands of Plage de l'Écluse. There are restaurants and shops aplenty in the centre of Dinard, about 1km away, while you also have the option of catching a ten-minute taxi-boat to Saint-Malo if you wish.

Maison Grâce

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

This is a charming 2-room apartment located on the fourth floor of a small residence in the heart of Dinard. The apartment boasts beautiful and cozy furnishings, with a spacious living area equipped with a double sofa bed, flat-screen TV and DVD player. Guests have access to an open kitchen fully equipped with modern appliances such as a dishwasher, induction hot plates, toaster and electric coffee machine. The apartment also offers free WiFi for guests to stay connected during their stay. It enjoys an excellent location close to many amenities, including shops, restaurants, cafes and bars.

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.

This home in Saint-Malo is full of classic charm, with large picture windows, rustic floorboards and exposed beams.

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

Escape to the Emerald Coast, with this cosy and colourful apartment only a fifteen-minute drive from the port city of Saint-Malo. Based on a rocky peninsula, the surrounding area is a coastal delight with the Romanesque Cathedral, one of the finest fortified structures in Europe, at the centre of the town's tall granite walls. Just a half an hour walk from the sea, you're perfectly placed for fun-filled days on the beach or sightseeing adventures in the old town. Back home, there's a homely living space to put your feet up while breaking open a bottle of bubbly. Looking around, you'll notice abstract artwork and antique pieces – we really loved the sailing boat in the master bedroom. The dining area is a lovely spot to enjoy your morning pain au chocolats, before setting off for a day exploring Brittany's important seafaring past. 

Fortitude

Moments from the Emerald Coast, this contemporary home offers the perfect base for those seeking a retreat just outside of Saint-Malo but still within a short drive. With a minimalist style, plush furnishings and a light-filled interior, this coastal gem is the perfect space to return to after a day hiking the local trails and exploring the historic site of sculpted rocks. 

Inside, you'll find a crisp white colour palette with cooling grey accents and poppy orange textures. Pop open a bottle of Chenin Blanc and soak up the summer sun from your private terrace after a long day hiking the 10km cliffside path towards the tip of Grouin. Sample some delights of your location and rustle up a dinner of local scallops and share conversations around the dining table long into the evening. You’ll fall blissfully asleep in the simple and serene bedroom – the waves just beyond your window.

Location-wise, you're a short walk from the shoreline, where you can spend days on the sands of Plage du Val. We also recommend a day trip into the city to soak up the local culture – we suggest the Gothic-style Saint-Malo Cathedral and the 18th-century privateer’s museum, La Demeure de Corsaire.

Sculpted Rocks

Tennis Court

Less than a minute’s walk to the seafront, this peaceful apartment is ideally positioned for beach days and cool coastal walks in the sunshine. Inside, creamy tones are interspersed with subtle black accents to create a modern space that feels both stylish and homely. You’ll find an open-plan living space with plump sofa for relaxing and a dinky kitchenette. Put together a cheese board and uncork a bottle of wine to be enjoyed on your private balcony. Venture out on warm afternoons and take a stroll along the Promenade Clair de Lune, a five-minute walk away, past the blue and white striped tents Dinard is so famous for. Head inland for Belle Époque mansions perched high on the cliffs and gourmet restaurants serving the finest French cuisine. End the day at a nearby waterside bar, watching dusk fall across the Emerald Coast.

Breton

Board Games

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.

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

First Aid Kit

In the heart of the walled city of Saint-Malo, this charming apartment combines mid-century chic with contemporary comfort. And not only is it a lovely place to stay, but it's also in a prime location for exploring this coastal city, less than a kilometre from the beach.

We love the natural theme that runs through the apartment, it has a soothing, earthy feel that's stylish yet comforting. And while it's a homely space, it's beautifully light, thanks to its high ceilings, cream walls, and brightening French doors. The doors lead you out to the delightful balcony, where you can enjoy a fresh cup of coffee or crisp glass of local wine, overlooking the cobbled street below. 

There's a lot to love about Saint-Malo. Whether you're soaking up the sun on the nearby beach, taking a windy coastal walk along the famous walls, learning about the history of the city in one of the many museums, or visiting old pirate hotspots, you won't get bored in a hurry. Round off afternoons in a local wine bar, enjoying a lunch of moules-frites.

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.

Step into the elegant space, drop your bags and unwind with a crisp glass of Muscadet on the plump sofa before heading to the soft sands of Plage du Val for a sunset stroll. Head into town for a seafood affair caught directly off the coast, then return home for a restful night’s sleep in your stylish bedroom. 

Location-wise, you're a short walk from the shoreline, where you can surf the swell and soak up the sun. If you’re seeking a cultural excursion, head into the city to explore the Gothic-style Saint-Malo Cathedral and the 18th-century privateer’s museum, La Demeure de Corsaire.

At chillier times of year, prepare family favourites in the whitewashed and wood kitchen, gather around the wooden table or gaze out to sea from the second dining area. Pick up a book or just give yourself permission to kick back and relax on the sofa in front of the fire before indulging in a long, hot soak in the tub.
