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.

Upon the Rocks of Malouin

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

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

Cafetiere

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

Tucked just two streets from the sands of Plage des Bas Sablons, this bold apartment offers a charming base to make the most of the historic port city, Saint-Malo. And whether you’re visiting with a culturally-packed itinerary, on a hiking excursion, or for a spontaneous coastal break with the family, this is the kind of space you’ll look forward to spending time in. 

The vibrant hues of cobalt and marigold create a playful atmosphere here – we love the light-filled living room with its layered rugs and plump velvet sofa where we imagine you’ll spend afternoons stretched out with your holiday read and a glass of Rosé d'Anjou. 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.

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.

Overlooking the bay of Cancale, soak up majestic sea views from every room of this home located just 800 metres away from Saussaye Beach. On a clear day, the views even stretch as far as the islands of Chausey and the iconic Mont St Michel. 

The perfect getaway for a family and those travelling with children, the home presents a large space area which frames the view like a piece of artwork at the centre of the room. Gaze out at the stillness of the sea from the window seat, and you might even wind up in a meditative state. You'll also find a cosy reading corner which invites you to select a book from the home library. 

Open up the French doors leading out onto the spectacular terrace area where the group can gather around the alfresco dining area for barbecues by the sea. When the weather is kind, what better than a spot of sunbathing on the loungers in a prime position of those glistening views? 

With a dormitory-style bedroom with six single beds, the children will enjoy sharing a room on one giant sleepover. Meanwhile, the garden shed equipped with games and bicycles will keep the whole family occupied for hours.

A stone's throw from the sandy beaches of Cancale, in the picture-pretty bay of Port Mer, this charming home offers the very best of coastal living. Boasting a gorgeous garden with plenty of cosy spots to sit down and breathe in the salty sea air, start your days with coffee on the lawn while watching the boats sail by. 

If you want to see the ocean up close, the beach is less than 1km away – take a walk down to the golden sands to discover what the famous Emerald Coast has to offer. When you're feeling peckish, Cancale oysters are a must-try. Head to one of the local restaurants or buy some from the Mont Saint-Michel oyster market and take them home to prepare yourself. We highly recommend an alfresco dinner on the terrace, washed down with a glass of French wine. When you're finished, head up to the terrace to watch the sunset – the waterfront views have to be seen to be believed. 

When darkness falls, head inside to cuddle up on the sumptuous sofa to watch a movie. If you're travelling with little ones, the mezzanine level dens are the perfect place for a bedtime story to make sure they settle in for a good night's sleep.

Every generation of the family will love the home’s easy access to the sights, like the local boulangerie for treats, the beaches, and all the historic monuments and sights. Not to mention that the host of the stay is superb, with endless knowledge on the surrounding areas to share and inform your stay when you choose what you’d like to venture out and see. Return home to a chef-cooked meal and discuss the brilliant happenings of your day out in Normandy.

Couleurs de la Normandie

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.

The Fisherman's Friend

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.

Rochebonne Boho

Amidst Calvados orchards and stunning rural landscapes rests this 18th-century chateau in the heart of the Normandy countryside. Dripping in elegance, the castle retains its enchanting heritage dating back to the 1700s, while modern renovations bring added comfort and practicality. 

Experience Normandy's unrivalled calmness as you wander around the chateau's 13 acres of lawns, ancient trees and rose gardens. During the springtime, watch the flowers blossom, while in summer, you can take delight in picking plums, apples and cherries from the orchard. The autumnal colours and majestic charm of the wintertime – make this spot completely ravishing all year round.

Original features inside the chateau include parquet flooring, Louis XV and XVI fireplaces and a wonderful classic French kitchen equipped with an open fire. With such preservations in addition to simply beautiful contemporary additions – this spot certainly boasts the wow factor. We particularly adore the office and library spaces, which somehow make us want to pack our laptops just to find a reason to enjoy these rooms. 

Upstairs the bedroom and bathroom suites are dressed in minimal designs and invite guests to truly switch off. The window-side built-in bathtub is like something from a fairytale and deserves to be enjoyed with a glass of champagne in hand. Or why not make that a Calvados cocktail? 

You'll be within easy reach of the Normandy cider routes from here, so soak up the slow pace of life found in the charming local villages, which are most often home to atmospheric markets boasting fine quality fresh fare. Within short driving distance, the likes of Bayeux, Caen and the D-Day Landing beaches are well worth a visit if you're keen to explore Normandy's cultural and historical sights amongst its captivating natural beauty. 

Calvados Royal

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.

The peaceful and practical location of this home lends itself perfectly to those wishing to go on their own excursions in the area, visiting Saint-Malo, the Mont St Michel, Port Mer and many others where you can make beautiful memories without worrying about finding yourself in the center of a tourist trap.

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

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.

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

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

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.

Essence of Rose

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

You'll find this characterful farmhouse in sweet Cancale, where fresh oysters are on the menu and Mont Saint-Michel stands proud in the middle of the bay. It's a charming little village, and you'll be well-placed to soak up its authentic Breton atmosphere. Follow the path by the house and you'll end up at Port Briac beach, while the restaurants perched along the quay in town are an excellent spot to relax with a glass of wine and breathe in the salt-tinged air. 

As undeniable as the location is, what makes this home a standout are the stunning traditional features in every room. We're smitten with the exposed stone walls and knotted wooden beams, and many cosy nooks invite you to kick back and unwind away from the group. Mealtimes are a grand affair in the dining room, with its sky-high ceilings and ornamental hearth. Tuck into a home-cooked feast made with locally-sourced seafood and produce, followed by a glass or two of Brittany's famous cider in the conservatory. During the summer, head out to the garden for sundowners and barbecues, then snuggle up for a good night's sleep in the comfortable bedrooms.

On the Half Shell

A modern apartment with French countryside charm – this spot in Saint Coulomb offers a haven of peace with its proximity to the sea and surrounding nature. 

Neutral tones, wooden furnishings and tasteful finishing touches present a comfortable space to kick back. So whether you're sprawled across the couch in the stylish living area or gathered around the kitchen dining table over some of the local French delights – the apartment offers a pleasant setting for a group of up to five guests to share quality time together. 

From here, you'll be within walking distance of the Brittany coastline and just 2.5 kilometres away from the town centre of St Coulomb. Hop in the car for fun-filled days out to nearby Saint-Malo, just 10 kilometres away. 

Sailor's Song 

Boasting a sunny south-facing garden, all you need is a little aperitif to relax in this French beauty. Before even entering the home itself, you will be charmed by the outdoor dining space – picture yourself relaxing in the French sunshine while the barbecue smoulders in the background and the happy chatter of your loved ones fills the air. 

Step inside and you’ll find calming white and grey colour schemes which are perfectly in keeping with the home’s seaside location. We love the very distinct nod to the coast with the quirky headboards, our favourites being the driftwood headboard and the one made of paddle boards. This home simply oozes a laid-back luxury vibe – you cannot help but feel relaxed when it takes you in and wraps you up in its cool coastal charm.

Mornings are made for the beach here, so take a sunrise stroll as the water saturates the warm sand – after all, you are only 500 metres from the beach. With your home nestled between the beaches of Fosse aux Vaults and Fourberie, you can spend your days exploring this beautiful stretch of the Emerald Coast, making memories that will last a lifetime. 

Driftwood Dream

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.
