Just a nine-minute drive from the awe-inspiring, prehistoric Carnac Stones, this stone villa might not be as ancient, but it’s certainly got a different type of allure. Your apartment is set up in the sloped roof of this traditional home, where the rich wood of the pine planks brings warmth and colour to otherwise understated interiors. We love the natural feel of the living and dining space – wicker chairs and decorations, faux fur throws, and pale wooden floors are illuminated by a sloped window and the glass doors leading to the balcony. This cute outdoor spot looks out to views of nearby gardens. We think it's the perfect place to enjoy a fresh baguette, nibble some olives, and sip a chilled glass of sauvignon blanc. At bedtime, ascend the staircase to the mezzanine floor. Mirrored wardrobes extend the space, with yet more fabulous wooden slatted ceilings to wake up to. After your morning café au lait, grab your beach towel and take an eight-minute walk to Plage de Carnac. Spend the morning trying watersports like kitesurfing, then spend the afternoon sunbathing while you listen to the lapping waves.
