Between the maritime pines and golden beaches of Les Landes, this modern one-storey home is the perfect pad for a small group of friends or a family of four. Wide glass doors slide open to fill the stylish living space with pine-scented air, and a smart matte-black kitchen is fully equipped to make self-catering a breeze. Days are spent surfing the Atlantic rollers and strolling along the golden sands of la Côte d’Argent, the longest stretch of sand in Europe. Head home to catch the early evening sun on the wraparound terrace, and light up the barbecue with fresh local produce from the market halls in town. For a change of scene, the bars, bistros and boutiques of Bordeaux are just over an hour’s drive away, or head south to explore the stunning Basque Country.

Fresh sea air, lashings of sunshine, unspoiled countryside – there are a lot of reasons to holiday in Mimizan-Plage. Luckily, this stylish home is there to provide you with a perfect bolthole during your stay in this popular Atlantic resort. Spend your days relaxing on a sun lounger on the terrace, or slide open the glass doors and let the sunshine inside. You'll immediately notice the unfussy contemporary style, including statement lighting and spots of bright colour. However, it isn't all style over substance, and this home has plenty of useful amenities including a dishwasher, microwave, washing machine, and iron. Enjoy breakfast at the bar in the kitchen, or head outside to make the most of the morning sun. You'll certainly want to explore Mimizan during your stay – head into town to enjoy a seafood lunch and wander the seafront promenade next to the dunes. As the sun sets, return to your home for a barbecue with family or friends before sinking into the sofa with a glass of wine.

We love the mix of old and new in this charming country house on the outskirts of Mimizan. Glass panels sit above beamed ceilings, skylights have been added to the slanted roof, and French doors flood the open living space with sunshine. Bedrooms are strikingly modern, the attic room paying homage to the ocean with a monochrome beach print and knotted lamp stands, while the master's sliding doors open up to a large en-suite with a huge rainfall shower. On cooler days, the feature fireplace is the perfect place to warm up – though bright sunflower prints give the impression of an endless summer. The outdoor pool and sun loungers are on hand for those hot, balmy days and the large gardens hide several seating spots, including a patio with outdoor kitchen and barbecue for whipping up something delicious.

Elderflower Wine

This is a beautiful and modern single-family house located in Mimizan, just 600m from both the downtown area and the beach.

It features a spacious living/dining room with a flat-screen TV, an open kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, and four bedrooms. The house also has a large terrace with outdoor furniture, a barbecue, and a view of the forest. Additionally, guests have access to free wi-fi, parking for up to three cars, and laundry facilities. The home is within walking distance of shops, restaurants, bike rentals, and surf schools. Pets are welcome but smoking is not allowed.

This home in the south of France offers sun, sand, and so much more. It's located just a twelve-minute drive away from the coast, and has a fantastic range of amenities that will keep even the fussiest guests smiling. 

There's a relaxed ambiance throughout the house, thanks to the warm colour scheme and use of natural wood. You can relax on the huge sofa with a glass of wine, challenge your guests to a round of pool, or take a nap in one of the serene bedrooms. This home was also made for outdoor living – head onto the patio and soak up the sun, before plunging into the glittering swimming pool. And, when you get hungry, you can enjoy a delicious grilled feast hot off the barbeque along with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. 

Take the short drive over to the beach, and you can pick from a range of beaches – we recommend dipping your toes in the Atlantic Ocean at Plage des Océanides. If you fancy a game of golf, then the nearest course is also a twelve-minute drive away. And, the Réserve Naturelle Nationale du Marais d'Orx is a wonderful place for a walk through the wetlands – it's just ten minutes away by car.

It's not every day you find a place with two outdoor spaces in the heart of a city. This gem of a home is putting an end to the idea that being in the city centre automatically means forfeiting space. Here, location, style, comfort, and luxury have beautifully been combined to bring you a showstopper. 

There's a lot to love here, from the contemporary interior to the fantastic location, but the outdoor space takes the cake. There's something wonderful about waking up in the morning and stepping straight outside to feel the sun on your face, and here, you get that small but special treat from each bedroom. Invigorating fresh coffees in the sun are the perfect way to start the day. Whether you're on the rooftop terrace or the patio, you'll feel a far cry from the hustle and bustle of Bordeaux city centre, despite being close to all the action.

Exploring Bordeaux comes easy here. You're just a five-minute walk from the tram, which takes you all across the city. Or, you can take to the wine metropolis on foot – you're just 1.5km away from the historic centre. There, you can take a walk along the famous promenade which is lined by restaurants and bars, discover the city's museums, and spot some notable sights, like the 11th-century Bordeaux Cathedral. 

However you spend your day, you'll love coming home to your bright, welcoming home. Take the spiral stairs up to the rooftop terrace, armed with a bottle of local wine, to watch the sky envelop into hues of reds and oranges at dusk. When dinner rolls around, your kitchen is perfectly equipped for whipping up meals at home. But if you don't feel like cooking, there are several brilliant restaurants nearby, ready to welcome you.

Fire Extinguisher

Located in the Bassin d’Arcachon, this charming home sits like a gateway to the refreshing beauty of southwest France. And with views across the surrounding trees, this is the kind of space that has all the qualities of a sanctuary in the woods. 

Stepping inside, you’ll find the gentle lighting and artistic presence of this home provides an instant sense of ease and calm. It’s the perfect place to let go of to–do lists and embrace the simple magic of coastal living. 

Open the doors from the living room and you’ll find the outdoor terrace is perfectly poised for relaxing mornings with a coffee or dreamy sunset drinks. From here, the space opens itself up to slow days reading on the sofa, cooking and sharing atmospheric candle–lit dinners. 

Outside, it’s just a five–minute drive into the centre of Arcachon where the Atlantic Ocean awaits. This is the ideal setting to connect with the vibrant beachside atmosphere, sample the famous oysters and savour the views from Dune of Pilat – just a five–minute drive away. Golfers will also love the close proximity to Golf d’Arcachon – just a three–minute drive away.

Nice to haves

Nestled inside its very own vineyard, this luxurious château will be a favourite for wine-lovers and francophiles alike. The regal honey-coloured exterior, with its purple adornment of wisteria, dazzles immediately as you enter the grounds. Inside, the home has been lovingly restored and the rooms are light and spacious. Modern touches and elegant furnishings blend with classical remnants. We especially love the claw foot bath, which will make for a dramatic soak. However, the standout feature of this home is its idyllic surroundings. Watch from your window the workings of the organic, bio-dynamic vineyard and sample the well-known Saint-Émilion Grand Cru. This Chateau provides a perfect base to explore this captivating region. Saint-Émilion is situated just three kilometres away with its golden-cobbled streets providing a delightful maze to get lost in. If you’re craving the hustle and bustle of a more well-renowned city, Bordeaux can be reached via the coast in a little over an hour.

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.

Located in the beating heart of Bordeaux, this apartment may be small, but it packs a punch. Step inside the stone building and you immediately feel the sense of how old mixes effortlessly with new here. Glide up the stairs to the second floor, into your apartment, and you’ll be utterly charmed. Your eyes will naturally be drawn to the French doors, nestled either side of a stunning stretch of unspoilt stone. Light is ushered in through the generous windows – throw the doors open and you’ll be able to enjoy the breeze that floats gently into the home, too. The classic fireplace and wainscoting put the final elegant touches to this room, washing a sense of serenity over you from the moment you arrive.

Wander through to your bedroom and you’ll find a comfortable bed just inviting you to take a nap. Next to it, a generous Italian shower promises to wake you up in the most refreshing way in the mornings. This area is a little haven to enjoy when tiredness sets in from a day of exploring Bordeaux.

You couldn't be better placed when you’re ready to head out into the city. With the Grand Theatre, Place de la Bourse, Rue Sainte Catherine and the Quays all within easy reach, you’ll never be short of somewhere to visit, dine or relax with loved ones. 

Claret Heart

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

This home is situated in the heart of the Chartrons district, just two minutes from Rue Notre Dame and its many antique shops. On the Garonne banks, Bordeaux's Chartrons district is a sought-after area. You’ll find here the luxury residences of former wine and antique merchants. The neighbourhood is well connected too, and it couldn’t be simpler to get around the city. Tram line B is 50 metres away, while tram line C (200 metres) has services to Bordeaux Station, taking around fifteen minutes.

Back at this abode, relax on the terrace with a glass of local wine or unwind on the sofa in the first-floor open-plan living space. We love the mix of industrial vibe (think pallet box coffee tables and polished concrete ceilings), which contrasts with the vintage prints. Rustle up some le magret de canard grille (grilled duck) in the modern kitchen, and enjoy it with some cèpes en persillade (porcini mushrooms in parsley) at your dining table. This home allows friends, family or work colleagues to live like a local. 

Red, Red Bordeaux Wine

Single-Level Home

Modern and illuminated, this charming apartment is designed to maximise your Bordeaux city break. Soak up some history and culture from The Golden Triangle – its impressive architecture, significant statues and monuments, La Place de la Comédie, and the Grand Théâtre are just moments from your apartment – then head home to enjoy a glass from the region in your elegant space.

Minimal in design, this home balances modern touches with traditional features – we love the original wooden floors and beamed ceilings. It’s the kind of space that’s designed to enrich your stay with its bright and inviting atmosphere. And whether you're sipping your morning coffee at the kitchen bar, firing off a couple of emails from the bedroom’s desk space or preparing a Bordeaux-inspired dinner in the sleek kitchen – make sure to pick up your ingredients from the diverse and dynamic Marché des Capucins – there’s a sense of ease and openness here.

When you’re ready to step out and soak up the culture, you’ll be within walking distance of the Place de la Bourse, Opéra National de Bordeaux and Bordeaux Museum of Fine Arts.

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.

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.

Only around 200m away from the bay, this home near the popular Arcachon Basin exudes calm from the moment you lay your eyes on it. Tucked away between trees, and with an ocean view from the backyard, it seems to encourage you to switch off, forget about time, and simply exist on your own terms. 

Inside, the combination of modern furnishings, eclectic decorative pieces, and some of the original features – the flooring and archways remain untouched – makes for a beautiful space that feels fresh but with Basque character. 

Spend mornings enjoying coffee with a side of fresh air and contemplation as you step out onto the balcony right off the master bedroom. Of course, you can also slip into the garden to claim one of the sun loungers, turning yourself, like a sunflower, towards the source of the warmth. 

After lunch at the rattan dining table, pour wine – not forgetting the cheese and crackers to nibble on – and find comfort on the shaded terrace. If you’d like to get even better acquainted with the landscapes of La Teste-de-Buch, you can visit the Dune du Pilat or spend the day at the beach.

With its long licks of golden sand, fragrant pine forests and impeccable oysters, Arcachon is an unmissable spot on the southwest coast of France. And where better to base yourself than this modern apartment, situated in the heart of town, just a minute’s walk from the seafront. Inside the abode, we loved the subtle nautical touches and we couldn’t get enough of the south-facing balcony, especially at sundown with a glass of red in hand. Rustle up French culinary classics in the compact kitchenette or dine out at a seafood restaurant a five-minute walk from your doorstep. Spend warm afternoons cycling along the promenade, then take the fifteen-minute drive to survey the landscape from Dune du Pilat, Europe’s highest sand dune. When the day draws to a close, retreat home to your quiet bedroom for a blissful slumber in your comfortable bed.

Sea Salt Spray

Set within the bourgeois and bohemian streets of Les Chartrons, this apartment opens its doors to spectacular views across the River Garonne. 

Light, airy and full of character, the rooms provide the perfect setting for a relaxing city stay – one that will leave you feeling refreshed and inspired from the moment of arrival. And while the location sings with Bourdeaux’s historic charm, you’ll find this home provides more than a touch of contemporary comfort. 

From quiet mornings sipping coffee by the window to laid-back gatherings around the table and cosy evenings on the sofa, this is the kind of space that transforms to suit the mood of the moment.

Stepping outside, it’s just a short walk through the leafy streets of Les Chartrons to the vibrant bars and restaurants of the neighbourhood. The CAPC Contemporary Art Museum is right on your doorstep, while the Jardin Public is also just a short walk away – providing the perfect spot for dreamy picnics and sunset strolls around the lake.

Set atop a hill overlooking the Adour river, this eighteenth-century home is a magical place to stay. To acquaint yourself with Basque culture, guests can visit nearby medieval Bayonne and sample local cuisine or wander through the narrow streets. The local beachside golf course and surfing schools provide excellent spots for outdoor activities. With so many spectacular areas to explore, the comfort of this home's living spaces provides a homely atmosphere for relaxation.  

The Tower & Chapel

Nestled in the commune of Labenne, this home is ideal for an escape to the south-west of France. It's spacious, with plenty of room for ten guests to make the most of their stay in this charming area. The interior is simple yet stylish, with a huge fireplace, traditional wooden beams and tiled floors creating a welcoming atmosphere where you can really relax. There's a piano, should you feel like serenading your loved-ones, and a comfortable selection of seating in zesty tangerine and lemon tones. Budding chefs will love picking up some fresh produce from the local market, before heading to the kitchen or the outdoor grill to create some delicious dishes. The private garden has a grassy lawn along with an outdoor entertaining space, where the group can gather for alfresco feasts. Take a stroll down to the Central Beach of Labenne, or hop on your bike to arrive on the sand in just ten minutes. Nature lovers can explore Marais d'Orx National Nature Reserve, while those that prefer a more glamorous day trip can take a thirty-minute car-ride to Biarritz. 

Jus d'Orange

Can't decide between a beach break, a rural retreat or a city escape? This cosy apartment marries all three. It resides just five minutes from the centre of Arcachon and the gorgeous beaches along the coastline, whilst being encompassed by a huge forest. Oh, and did we mention it's also next door to a lush golf course? It lets you have every type of holiday in one trip.

With all that in mind, it's hard to know where to begin. For the beach-lovers, grab your towels and spend the day sunbathing on the golden sands. Bring refreshments and take dips in the water to cool off under the summer sun. 

If you prefer a more adventurous holiday, discover the various walking trails across the forest. After strolling through the verdant scenery, grab your clubs and head to the refined greens of the golf course. 

For the days where you want to go at a slower pace, you can mosey around the cute city centre. Pick up some bread, cheese and wine to enjoy back on the terrace for carefree evenings in the tranquility of nature. 

Hole In Three

A stay at this beautiful duplex apartment promises a truly unique experience, allowing you to marvel at the stunning views of the Garonne River from the privacy of your own terrace, as well as enjoying all the comforts that this luxurious gem has to offer. Situated just a short tram ride or a leisurely stroll from the historic centre, this pad is a dream base for those wishing to sample the many wonders that the City of Wine has in store.
 
As you arrive you’ll be welcomed by the beautiful entrance hall with a dedicated office space and the three plush bedrooms, including the master which offers a sleek ensuite bathroom. Head upstairs to find a huge open-plan living area, with plenty of room to kick back and relax with an evening of delicious wine and movies. From here you can also step out onto the terrace, which is a dream spot for those balmy nights in the company of your loved ones. 

If you don’t feel like eating out, the modern kitchen has you covered, with everything you may need to rustle up a delectable feast you can then serve at the indoor dining table or out on the terrace. 

In the morning, welcome the new day with coffee and breakfast while you gaze at the Pont de Pierre and plan your day’s adventures. Head over to the nearby Cite du Vin to learn all about the region’s love affair with wine or immerse yourself in the multisensory art experience at Les Bassins des Lumières. 

A Glass with a View 

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

Situated in the heart of Arcachon next to the famous market and golden sandy beaches (a five-minute walk away), this charming apartment is a great base to return to for an evening aperitif, whether you're sunbathing or sightseeing. With direct access onto a private balcony off the main bedroom and a sheltered terrace to enjoy dinner and drinks, you'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to picking a space to sit back and unwind.

We can’t think of a better way to start the day than waking up from your restful slumber, cradling a mug of hot coffee on your balcony. And as if your two furnished terraces weren't enough, there are another two dining tables in the open-plan living space and kitchen, so you can tuck into your croque monsieur or fresh croissants while mapping out the day ahead.

With the Pyrenees in the distance, this beautiful chateau sits in the Pays Basque, near the Spanish border. If you asked a child to draw a fairytale castle, this is probably what they would come up with – ivy-dappled turrets and a rose-pink hue. Acres of tree-filled grounds surround this home, where you’ll find a private swimming pool for lazy days on loungers and a tennis court with an automatic ball machine if you want to practice your serve. There’s plenty of room for the group to dine outside, admiring the pretty facade of this historic abode.

Inside, choose between three lavish lounges for evenings with a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon from the Midi-Pyrenees. The 19th-century stylings of grand fireplaces, an upright piano and velvet chaise longues pair perfectly with a full-bodied red. Gathering at the formal dining table, you can feel how French nobility lived in days gone by. We love the kitchen which is a riot of colour yet retains a farmhouse feel with its big, range cooker and cast-iron kettles and pots. The pantry is a fabulous bonus, packed with cookbooks for inspired French meals and all the equipment you need for a picnic in the sprawling grounds.

Or, head further afield and take a day trip to Biarritz on the coast – it’s an easy drive away. Within the immediate area, Peyrehorade is the closest town (13km away) where you can stock up on supplies or just take a stroll along the river.

The balmy beachfront vistas are what sets this pad in Landes apart from the rest. Wake up to the soothing sound of the waves lapping into the shore while the birds sing each morning. Sunrises and sets are just as serene here as the colours in the sky paint a picture-perfect scene to admire from the patio terrace. Enjoy alfresco meals in the sunshine or sunbathe in privacy from the blissful spot. For a more sociable affair, head down to the famous Landes beach and the Capbreton port. With a wealth of seafood restaurants, oyster huts and beach shops to make the most of – this atmospheric seaside resort is a gorgeous place to discover come night and daytime. If you fancy your luck on the slot machines – the casino located just 300 metres away offers a fun change of scenery after a day on the beach. 




Salty Shores

Located on the ground floor of a traditional Basque home, this apartment is close enough to the sea to be blessed by the gentle ocean breeze, yet far enough away that you aren't faced with tourist crowds the moment you step outside. The interior is cute and compact, with everything a couple could need for a romantic coastal retreat. There's a sofa in the multi-purpose kitchen/dining/living area, and both this space and the bedroom enjoy direct access to a lovely patio with outdoor seating that's perfect for alfresco meals morning, noon and night. The location couldn't be more convenient with the nearest beaches, city centre and airport just a five-minute drive or half-hour walk away, while the train station is even closer. Biarritz's six beaches are the headline attraction, and its outstanding location on the Bay of Biscay means the city has become the surfing capital of Europe. For those who want a less strenuous time at the seaside, the golden stretches of sand offer great places to relax, take a dip or simply soak up the sun.

Hot Tub

Sauna

Guests looking for comfortable interiors, plenty of bedrooms, a pool, and proximity to white, sandy beaches will love everything about this home. Built at the turn of the twentieth century, this chalet-inspired home has all the luxuries you could want – from the heated pool to the en-suite jacuzzi and sauna bathrooms, each guest will be given the royal treatment when staying here. We would suggest hiring a car in order to make the most of this outstanding part of the Basque country, but if you choose not to, there is a lot going on at the home itself. Play a few rounds of table tennis, volleyball, boules, or grab any of the fourteen bikes available.

Rags to Riches

Situated in the Golden Triangle, Bordeaux’s most prestigious district, this apartment is a refined and peaceful retreat in the heart of the city. Inside, it’s all parquet floors, full-length windows and timeless neutral shades. Begin your mornings in the light-filled dining area with buttery croissants picked up from the nearby boulangerie before nursing a café au lait on the sumptuous leather sofa. 

Spend afternoons ticking off the city’s most iconic locations – admire the masonry of the Cathédrale St-André, a Unesco World Heritage Site, just footsteps from your building. Visit the unique Miroir d'Eau and the ground-breaking La Cité du Vin, then stop for a bite to eat in a belle époque brasserie. 

Head home in the evening to put together a cheese board in your fully-equipped kitchen and reflect on the day’s events over a bottle of the region’s wine in the sophisticated living area. When it’s time to call it a night, beds dressed in crisp white linens ensure a deep and restful slumber.

Modern, beautiful, comfortable residence nestled in the charming district of de la Milady in Biarritz. Immerse yourself in a soothing and relaxed atmosphere, just 400m from the sea and 700m from the beach. This bright and tastefully furnished 3-room apartment invites you to unwind and enjoy your surroundings. Relax on your private balcony or terrace and let yourself be embraced by the coastal charm. The apartment features an open kitchen with modern appliances, a cozy living/sleeping room, one room with a comfortable French bed, and another room with two beds. Take advantage of the shared amenities including swimming pools, sauna, fitness room, and more. Nearby attractions such as Cité de l'Océan and Aquarium Biarritz offer endless entertainment options while you explore the scenic beauty of this coastal paradise.

Serene Sands

Although this home sits close to the centre of Bourdeaux – France's sixth-most populous city, no less – this home's cute facade would easily slot into a quiet corner of the surrounding wine-producing landscape. The patterned bricks, verandah and alfresco dining table on the decking all bring a taste of country living to this vibrant metropolis.

By contrast, the home's interior is a lot more contemporary than you might expect. Aside from the bright red sofa, the colour palette leans heavily on soothingly modern whites and greys. Decoration is sparse, but that's the current vogue for minimalism rather than neglect. We've got particular praise for the kitchen, which has a wealth of sleek surfaces for cooking up local ingredients. 

The local area has a residential feel, but guests are close to many of Bourdeaux's main attractions. Rue Sainte Catherine – one of the longest pedestrianised streets in Europe – is only 1km away and has a huge range of shops to peruse. There are characteristic cobbled streets and buildings in the historic district, only 1.5km from the front door.

A Drop of Red

From the colourful artwork down to the chequerboard tiles, it's clear that this apartment in Arcachon is not your typical beach getaway. We love the vibrant and funky vibe inside, which feels more akin to something you'd find in Paris or London rather than a seaside town in France. Unwind with a glass of local wine on the plush pink settee (Bordeaux's wine region is an hour away), curl up with a book in the bright green armchair and share meals around the mid-century dining table. The whole place is roomy and bright, and though two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed, it's tucked away in an alcove so it won't disrupt the flow of the living area. There's even a sweet courtyard – it's a great spot to enjoy a cafe au lait in the morning or a cocktail in the evening. Plage d'Arcachon is just a ten-minute walk away, so grab a towel and spend the day on the beach. You're also a fifteen-minute stroll from the restaurants, bars and shops in town, so this is a great base for exploring.

Colourful Chequers

Paid Parking

Located in the heart of Bordeaux's beautiful old town, this apartment embodies the class, style, and chicness of this city. The old stone building is the perfect first impression of Bordeaux, and stepping inside the apartment only confirms that this place is a gem of a find.

We love the classic details here – the original stone brick wall, the quintessentially French windows and the frame around the mirror. It's met with a modern design style that beautifully encapsulates the city – classic yet youthful. Your balcony offers a view of the street below, a lovely spot for enjoying a fresh cup of coffee and engaging in everyone's favourite past-time, people-watching. 

When it comes to seeing the city, you couldn't ask for a better location. You're a mere 200 metres from the lively Rue Sainte Catherine, the city's main artery, bursting with boutiques and shops. You're also steps away from Place Fernand Lafargue, lined with cafes and eateries. In such a fantastic location, seeing the city's many historical sights and points of interest comes with ease.

After a day of exploring, you can easily make your way back to your apartment to relax before heading out for dinner. You'll love sipping on a local bottle of wine (when in Bordeaux) and snacking on olives around the industrial chic-style table, with the warm-toned light fixtures setting the tone. 

Sweet Drops

This smart apartment in the heart of the Bordeaux's Grands Hommes district is just a few steps from the bustling Cours de l'Intendance and Rue Sainte Catherine, so you can check out its many high-end shops, mini-markets, fabulous restaurants and the Grand Théâtre with ease. The home's been designed with comfort in mind, so you'll soon make the space your own. From the outside, it's a beautiful stone building, dating back to the 19th-century, but stepping through the front door you'll find a clean-cut flat with sleek, contemporary finishes. 

An open-plan layout makes for seamless modern living, where you can be cooking up a meal in the island kitchen, fitted with timelessly elegant marble countertops, while keeping up with conversation in the living space. Here, the stylish furnishings, palm-themed design and waxed houseplants create the perfect spot to unwind and debrief after a long day of sightseeing. We love the funky wallpaper prints and colourful tones throughout the home, especially in the dedicated desk and home office space, perfect for those visiting on business. 

Green Grape

With Plage des Bourdaines' vast golden beach stretching out before you just a ten-minute walk away, this tree-lined apartment is an ideal base for groups of friends or families looking to soak up the delightful sea breeze of Seignosse. Spend days relaxing on the sands, swimming in the shallows and playing golf at the nearby course. 

Inside, you'll find a sociable open-plan living space, framed by the sliding patio doors, instantly expanding your communal area. The three bedrooms are spread over two floors so there’s lots of space while the garden patio and balcony encourage alfresco dining. 

Location-wise, you’re perfectly placed here. The coastal region of Hossegor is laidback and welcoming, with plenty of delectable restaurants and lively bars dotted around. Further afield, you'll find the elegant seaside town of Biarritz to the south, forty minutes away by car. 

Dune Blanc

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 

Experience true leisure at this aesthetically pleasing, newly constructed residence. Nestled within the soothing environs of La Milady, it is just a stone's throw from the sea and beach. The property deftly balances comfort and aesthetics, granting you an experience akin to a lullaby wrapped in vibrant sunshine. Plunge into the communal indoor pool or bask under the azure skies by the outdoor pool - wonderful options for keen swimmers or simple relaxation. Imagine breakfasts overlooking prismatic sunsets, afternoons lazing in the sauna or hammam, quick fitness room workouts, or simply exploring Biarritz. You'll adore the comfortable living area and balcony views while appreciating conveniences like high-speed Wi-Fi or communal washers-dryers. The milieu adds an extra undertone of tranquillity also welcoming our four-legged friends. A short stroll reveals enchanting local attractions like the 'Cité de l'Océan', Biarritz Aquarium or surf schools.

Basque Comfort

Access to Gym / Spa

Breakfast Included

This elegant home is a superb base for large groups. It sits in the Gironde department, in a position ideal for visiting both Bordeaux and Saint-Émilion, though you may find yourself entirely content to stay put. The home is set within 52 acres of grounds with walking and jogging trails, and your host can even arrange for you to go horse-riding. The estate also boasts its own vineyard, so wine tasting is a must. We love the swimming pool and the terrace for alfresco dining, and the tennis court will be popular with more active guests. This is a traditional home so the decor won’t suit those seeking a sleek, modern space. 

Sweet & Fresh

Espresso Machine

Anyone looking to spend their holidays relaxing on Hossegor’s serene sandy beaches and trying out delicious French cuisine at fine dining restaurants will love this homely apartment personalised with elegant colours and enchanting art pieces. Cook up a storm in the glossy, ultra-modern kitchen and enjoy an intimate meal in the cosy dining area. Afterwards, settle into the sofa with your favourite films playing on the flat-screen television and wind down at sunset with a glass of Kir Royale on the balcony. Gravière, Sud and Nord Beaches are all a five-minute car ride away so you’re bound to leave this resort town with a glorious natural tan. At dinnertime, sample the menus at some of Capbreton’s best restaurants – La Petite Table and Le Regalty are at the top of our list.
