This countryside haven welcomes you to a relaxing retreat in southwestern France. Landscaped gardens offer peace and privacy as well as a heated swimming pool and loungers for sunbathing sessions. There’s a barbecue and plenty to keep the whole group entertained with a yoga deck, table tennis and an abundance of space for kids to stretch out and play. Inside, the main bedroom on the ground floor is a special highlight with an en-suite clawfoot bath. A private chef can be arranged to enhance your stay. Plus, it’s just a short walk to the local village, while the hilltop town of Saint-Émilion is just a ten-minute drive away. 

Heavenly Love

This newly renovated apartment in central Bordeaux, home to largest urban World Heritage Site, is perfect for couples and small families. Cute and quirky, this fabulous French home features a lovely, light filled open plan kitchen cum dining cum living room characterised by pops of red, contrasting coloured wall paper.  You’ll love waking up in your idiosyncratically decorated room for two, and delighting in a rain shower before breakfast in the white tiled kitchen. Read, relax or watch the world go by from the sofa next to the window while making a plan for the day. This home’s superb location in the semi-pedestrian Saint-Pierre district, the city’s historic heart, means you’ll be wandering the cobbled streets and stumbling across picturesque squares in no time. 

A stone’s throw from the best Bordeaux has to offer by way of museums and cultural heritage sites as well as restaurants and bars, why not plot a course through the Place du Parlement, the Place du Palais or the Place de la Bourse, before visiting CAPC, the musée d'art contemporain, Saint-André Cathedral, and the Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux? You won’t want to miss out on sampling both Bordelais premiers crus and cuisine and vibrant Saint-Pierre hosts a sassy mix of traditional French kitchens, experimental neobistros, creative fusion restaurants, food trucks and barista-run coffee shops, a gastronomic scene that is sure to impress even the most discerning of bon vivants.


Paper, Prints & Pops of Colour

With its timber exterior and chalet-esque shape, you could be forgiven for envisioning some rustic living quarters upon first glance of this home close to Arcachon Bay. However, step behind the glass doors and guests are greeted by a contemporary interior bathed in natural light and furnished with Scandi-style furnishings – not to mention a super-sleek kitchen designed with minimalism in mind.

However, this is a corner of France in which people try to pass as many hours as possible spent outside and you can do that on the home's verandah, complete with a lounge, barbecue and alfresco dining table, which overlooks the local forest. Alternatively, there's a swimming pool shared with other local residences on the site in which to splash about on warm afternoons, plus children's play equipment, a volleyball court and a bowling green.

And that's not forgetting the wealth of attractions that await in the nearby area. The Dune of Pilat – the tallest in Europe – can be reached on foot via a hiking route and there's also a great selection of beaches in the local region. Both the towns of Arcachon and La Teste-de-Buch have plenty of markets, restaurants and grand architecture to discover, too.

Saunter the Shoreline

Journey through the vineyards of Bordeaux before finding yourself at this stone villa on the bank of the Dordogne. The highlight of this stay for us is not only the view of the romantic river, but the direct access to it via a private dock or one of the included kayaks. If you do happen to tire of a lazy day by the river (or pool if you’d rather), explore the private gardens, scenic as a Monet painting, and pick at seasonal treats for your family or friends to snack on. Speaking of food, you can take the bikes out to the nearby boulangerie for croissants and tarts. We should also mention that the local farm’s goats cheese selection is sensational, especially when paired with wines from the neighbouring vineyards. 

River Days

Tucked away in the Cote de Bourg area just north of Bordeaux, this fairytale 19th-century chartreuse overlooks beautiful vineyards and the rolling landscape beyond. The seclusion makes this a tranquil getaway – especially when swimming in the private pool or enjoying the ample seating outside – but with this being an active vineyard, it's also a unique way to experience the French countryside. The interior, all rustic rafters and palatial furnishings, might not be everyone's cup of tea, but there's plenty of space and charm here. It is worth noting that there are only three bathrooms to share between fourteen guests. The country house is bold and full of character, and the pool table is a nice touch too.

Comte de Montagny

Owned by two sisters with five children between them, it's fair to say your hosts know a thing or two about creating a family-friendly getaway. With its generous layout, relaxed atmosphere and wide selection of outdoor spaces – including a heated pool, three acres of fenced garden, swings and a well-equipped games room – for those who like the idea of letting their children roam free, this six-bedroom home could be a perfect choice.

Inside, you'll uncover an abundance of French rustic charm, with plenty of period features. Grand fireplaces, sparkling chandeliers and gnarled beams sit untouched since the home's halcyon days as a winemaking chateau. Split across the ground and first floors, there are six king-size bedrooms with four en-suite bathrooms and one large family bathroom with an inviting freestanding tub.

Despite the feeling of privacy and seclusion, the property is very accessible – just ten minutes from Saint-Émilion and well within an hour of Bordeaux and its airport. We'd suggest carving out some time for yourself to enjoy a distinctly French day out wine tasting at the countless vineyards within a short drive of the property, or booking a tee time at one of the nearby eighteen-hole golf courses.

When stocking up on essentials, there's practically a food market every day of the week, so you can steer clear of the supermachés and shop the way the locals do. And if all that poolside relaxing has drained you of any desire to cook, your hosts can help organise a private chef. Alternatively, there are plenty of top-notch restaurants within a short drive.


Dust on the Bottle

Escape to this luxury chateau for an idyllic getaway, nestled in the hills of the Entre Deux Mers vineyards. You'll find this picturesque 18th-century castle in expansive private grounds, surrounded by lush greenery and complete with a large Roman-style pool and plenty of terraces where you can soak up the sun. Though we're sure you'll be spending most of your time outdoors, you'll be equally impressed by the interior of this home, which brings together a quirky and cool mix of traditional style and contemporary chic. Brimming with character, many of the castle's original features have been retained, with the rustic fixtures and finishes adding warmth to the space. Wake up to a continental buffet-style breakfast every morning or ask your host to arrange a private chef to make hosting dinner parties a breeze. Spend your days swimming under the trees, or playing billiards in the games room. Rent some bikes and head into the quaint village of Arbis to explore the Gironde and sample the local wines.

Divine

Just a three-minute walk from the Plage d'Arcachon beach, this modern apartment boasts sparkling sea views over the red rooftops. On your doorstep, you'll discover the lovely Les Halles market, where you can pick up fresh fruit and local produce. Or, why not try your luck at the seafront Casino d'Arcachon? With lots of exciting boat trips at hand, there is something for everyone to enjoy at this dreamy holiday destination.

From your Juliet balcony, you'll want to let the breeze rush through the bedroom as you overlook the beautiful bay, only 400 metres away. Each morning, indulge your sweet tooth at this sleek dining table and opt for pain au chocolat. When it's time to explore, we think that this place promises you the perfect base, whether you're staying here on a solo adventure or a romantic getaway. Later, come back to this serene space and soak your feet in the bathtub, then pour yourself a glass of French wine as you watch an idyllic sunset.

Oyster Cove

Combining French Regency style with sleek modern accents, this elegant apartment in the heart of the Golden Triangle is an excellent launch-pad for discovering the very best of Bordeaux. Wake up with an espresso and a buttery croissant in the opulent living space – we loved the double height ceilings, parquet flooring and triptych of French doors. Recline on the plush sofa with a crossword puzzle until you’re ready to take the city by storm. 

Spend sunny afternoons strolling around the nearby Jardin Public before nipping into the Museum of Decorative Arts and Design. Visit the iconic Place de la Bourse, treat yourself to a shopping spree on the Rue Sainte-Catherine and admire the 15th-century Porte Cailhau. In the early evening, after a bite to eat in a revered brasserie, head home with a bottle of the region’s famous wine and enjoy a glass or two on your private balcony as the sky turns violet. 

The Régence

Enjoy good times and quality wine with this modern apartment as your comfortable base in Bordeaux. Located in the city's historical centre, the space mixes modernity with old-fashioned charm through a combination of classic and new home furnishings. 

While the food and drink scene in Bordeaux is what makes the city so special, this spot gives you the option of cooking up your own delicious meals in the large kitchen and dining area. And then, after a long day of soaking up the city sights, why not soak in the bathtub with a glass of local wine in hand? Utter bliss. 

From this central home, you'll be within convenient walking distance of the city centre's shops, bars and restaurants. Meanwhile, the banks of the River Garonne, Place St Colombe, Rue Sainte Catherine and Place du Palais are all just a few steps away. 






Good Wine & Quality Time 

Sit back, relax and drink in Bordeaux's unforgettable charm at this cosy hideaway in the heart of the historic city centre. Just a short walk from Rue Sainte Catherine, Place de la Bourse and Grosse Cloche, you'll be incredibly located for whatever tickles your fancy, be it sightseeing, shopping or sampling the region's most famous wines. 

A stroll along the Garonne River will get your day off to a great start, as will a delicious pastry from a local boulangerie. Following an alfresco lunch, discover the city's renowned museums in the afternoons while evenings call for dinner, drinks and a grand night at the Opéra National, also within walking distance.

If you prefer a laid-back approach to your travels, this third-floor apartment is just the ticket. Nestled in a stone building dating back to the 19th century, there's plenty of character to fall in love with here – we're talking exposed stone walls, wooden beams and typical Parisian-style windows with wrought-iron balconettes. 

Come home after a long day, kick off your shoes and unwind in style. Prepare your own take on classic French dishes in the kitchen – best served, of course, with a glass of Bourdeaux's dry red at the stylish island. A soak in the bathtub is the perfect way to end the day, or simply snuggle up with a book on the sofa before bed, instead. 

Decanter

This 16th-century château in the heart of the Médoc could be straight out of a fairytale. Surrounded by vineyards, trees, and fishponds, it overlooks the Jalle de l’Aygue Longue and is within easy reach of Bordeaux. Inside, the interiors blend old-world charm with modern comforts. Two of the bedrooms also have their own living rooms with daybeds – perfect for families sharing. Outside, you’ve got gardens and a sun terrace that practically demand a glass of local wine in hand.
