Almost 400 years after it was first built, and Lord of the Pines is still wowing guests. You may be pulling up the drive by car rather than horse-drawn carriage, but the magic remains the same; perhaps literally, as there’s a tree on the property that’s rumoured to be enchanted. Regardless of any magic trees, this château will quickly cast its spell over you; antique furniture and all the mod cons sit amongst beautifully restored interior furniture, while the sprawling grounds are home to ancient stone crosses, sun-dappled woodland, and even a tennis court. The home’s guardian is on hand to whip up some gourmet meals, there are complimentary bikes to take a tour of the surrounding area and even a library hidden away in the tower. When can we move in?

Access to Beach

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. 



Staring out to Sea 

Taken in and of itself, this apartment in Saint-Aubin-sur-Meris is perfectly pleasant. The stark white walls and wood floors feel smart and contemporary, while the flashes of blue and some eye-catching accoutrements – the lighting fixtures and funky stools, to single out a couple – stop it from feeling too anonymous.

However, it's the home's outdoor space and excellent location that really distinguishes it from competitors. Along with two other apartments in the building, guests share a pretty garden bordered by flowerbeds and this looks out to the town's beach, which sits just across the street.

As well as offering opportunities for watersports and relaxation, the beaches of Saint-Aubin-sur-Meris hold significance for the pivotal role that the region played during D-Day. The city of Caen is only half an hour away in the car and offers a wealth of attractions, including William the Conqueror's castle and a selection of contemporary galleries.

Boasting quintessential French coastal charm, this quaint cottage in Langrune-sur-Mer invites guests to enjoy a seaside escape less than a kilometre away from the beach. 

Original features, including exposed stone walls and wooden beams, inject heaps of character into the space that is otherwise dressed in neutral tones and contemporary designs. We love the unique aquamarine corner sofa – which makes the perfect perching spot and somewhere to put your feet up after a day's adventures in Normandy. Meanwhile, the courtyard outside presents an idyllic spot for picnics and quiet afternoons reading in the sunshine. 

Stroll down to the coastal shores of the beach in just a few minutes, where you'll pass bars, shops and restaurants to make the most of in the local amenities too. The perfect location for wandering around or going on bike rides, the laid-back way of life here will have you feeling refreshed in no time. And with a variety of outdoor activities available, why not try your hand at sailing, fishing, windsurfing, paddleboarding or horse riding?

Perfect for a couple, this contemporary oasis in Lanvallay is a real gem.

Inside, there are contemporary designs and a stunning scenic feature wall that creates a sense of calm. It’s a bright and inviting space to unwind after a day strolling the cobbled streets and exploring the 14th-century Dinan Castle, a short drive away. 

Soak up the Brittany culture in Dinan with a tour of the medieval half-timbered houses, a visit to the 15th-century artillery tower of Tour du Coëtquen, and an authentic dinner of pork rillettes at a family-owned bistrot.

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. 

After fun-filled days on the beach (you'll be just a few minutes away from the most beautiful beaches of the Emerald Coast here), the home sauna awaits for some blissful moments of relaxation. Of course, even from the sauna – you won't miss a moment away from the stunning sea view. 

An ideal base for exploring Britanny and the likes of Mont St Michel, Port Mer Beach (900 metres away) and the beach of Le Verger La Pointe du Grouin – found a fifteen-minute walk away.

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. 

Emerald Coast of Cancale

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. 

Sea Through You

Security System

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.

Upon the Rocks of Malouin

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.

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

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.

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.

Just don't get too comfortable – there's plenty to explore in the local area. The village of Créances is on the edge of the Cotentin and Bessin marshes regional park, a beautiful landscape of wetlands and windswept dunes. You're also just a short drive from Pritania beach.

Oh, to live in a French chateau and feast your eyes on miles of countryside views! Fleur De Lis is a holiday fit for even the most discerning guests, starting with a lavish tree-lined driveway that will transport you straight to the seventeenth century. As you travel, you might notice a rather large pool (all yours) where you can practise your backstroke, work on your tan, or walk right past it on your morning stroll across the estate. Depending on how you feel, you can take your meals in the regal dining room, which will involve dressing up appropriately, or you can go the informal route, dining alfresco in the gardens. There are simply so many things to do in this home, from admiring the antiques, playing tennis in the courts, watching period dramas in the appropriate setting, or even going down to the nearby sandy beach. For day trips, we recommend that you head off to see Mont St Michel, which is easily accessible via the motorway, as is the Bayeux Tapestry.

Fleur De Lis

Get a taste of royal life at this 16th-century chateau, located 5km from the tiny town of Haye du Puits. Go wild swimming in the pristine waters of the valley, or ramble in Normandy’s nature – this home offers 2.5 hectares of private land that’s all yours to explore. Handsomely historical, the manor was built as a fortified house in the Huguenot rebellion, and its period features include an original thatched roof. Climb to the top of its defensive tower for stunning views of the rolling green countryside, or out your alfresco fantasies with long, relaxed family meals on the open-air terrace.

The Cotentin Manor

Dotted with dune-backed beaches, dramatic cliffs and charming towns, the Normandy coast offers an idyllic, family-focussed summer retreat, far removed from the frenetic pace of everyday life.

In keeping with Normandy's fascinating and well-documented history, this charismatic stone building offers a glimpse into the past. It's been lovingly renovated with your needs in mind. However, there's still plenty of period charm that helps this home stand out from the crowd. From the shuttered windows to the exposed beams and soaring ceilings, to the stylish furniture, cutting-edge kitchen and sleek shower rooms, this home spans the centuries.

History buffs will no doubt appreciate the proximity of a section of Juno Beach, which attracts those seeking to learn more about the D-Day landings, as well as a chance to marvel at the iconic Bayeux tapestry. Nature lovers, meanwhile, will find their happy place in the hiking paths and bike trails overlooking the Seulles Valley, a short drive away. 

Crack the Shutters

If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime stay, look no further than The History Book. From the kooky interiors by leading European designers to the sheer size of the castle and grounds, everything about this home screams excess. Stooped in history, this castle has a drawing room, billiards room, games room, music room and library – and that’s just inside. Once outside, on the 6 hectares of private land, you’ll find a tennis court, swimming pool, children’s play house and several out buildings. Despite its grandeur, The History Book will feel like home thanks to the thoughtful staff and warm atmosphere.

The History Book

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 beautiful, two-storey terraced house is located in the Rochebonne district and only 20 meters from the beach. The property offers direct access to the beach and boasts a well-kept garden and south-facing terrace with outdoor furniture and a barbecue grill.

Upstairs, guests will find three bedrooms, one with a dressing room, as well as two bathrooms. With free WiFi and reserved parking for up to two cars, this property is perfect for families or groups of friends seeking a relaxing seaside holiday. Nearby attractions include St Malo's Grand Aquarium and Le Mont St Michel, making this property an ideal base for exploring the region.

Staring at the Sea

This incredibly charming 18th-century manor house, tucked away in the beautiful Normandy countryside, has stood since 1762 and now welcomes family and friends to experience the tranquillity of the estate. Modernised since, it features bold and vibrant design choices that haven't compromised the historic elements like the exposed beams or the statement hearth in the dining space. The sloped ceilings might not agree with taller guests, but it isn't persistent throughout the home and with a healthy acreage at your disposal outside, you can stretch and stroll to your heart's desire. 

A Chant of Serenity

Exercise Equipment

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

A lovely little sun room and terrace provides the perfect spot for some quiet time. Grab a coffee and a book and enjoy a little peace as the sun warms you. When it’s time to catch up with your loved ones, the open-plan living, kitchen and dining area gives plenty of space for everyone to gather over good food, fine wine, and enjoy great conversation. 

Head outdoors into the garden and it’s quite the sun trap. Settle down on the comfortable deckchairs and enjoy the scent of the sea in the air. When it tempts you enough, it’s just a short 300-metre stroll to the nearest beach. For those keen to get out on the water, you’ll also find a sailing school just twenty minutes away by foot. With much to do in the area, this home provides an elegant backdrop to what promises to be a wonderful stay.


Sunshine & Sails

Discover your own French fairytale in this picturesque chateau, nestled in the Calvados department of rural Normandy and steeped in rich history. Whether you're seeking a restful holiday filled with tranquillity, sunshine and birdsong, or you're looking for something a little more adventurous, you're in the right place. Head out to the orchard to pick apples and cook up a storm with local produce in the perfectly equipped kitchen. Large windows bring the sunlight into this home so even if you're lounging in the living area or having a late morning in bed, you can appreciate the surrounding countryside views and fresh air like a comforting blanket. At dusk, sit out in the garden and pour out a glass of local calvados, and let the conversation flow as the stars come out.

Stop off for breakfast croissants and home-baked pastries at the nearby village, where you can pick up other essentials for cooking or grab a bite at a local restaurant. Whether you explore the hilly landscapes and woodland by hiking, horse-riding or by bike, you'll find yourself surrounded by endless natural beauty and opportunities for adventure. Drive to the charming town of Clécy where you can hire canoes and small boats for water sports on the River Orne. History lovers can make a day of visiting the D-Day Landing beaches or William the Conqueror's castle, before returning to gather by the fireplace for a cosy evening.

Calvados Fables

Jacuzzi

Even though this large home sits in the middle of a golf course in rural Brittany, there's plenty to keep guests occupied even if they're not keen followers of the sport.

Take the wonderful wellness space, for example. Surrounded by large windows that look out to the peaceful grounds, there's both a heated swimming pool and a Jacuzzi to recline in once you've done a length or two. If that sounds a little too sedate, there's a huge range of games, from foosball and ping-pong to a petanque court and an arcade machine on which you'll find over 1500 video games. We're not saying you'll be praying for rainy days, but they won't be the catastrophe they might be at other addresses.

At the same time, the huge garden offers lots of space and equipment for enjoying spells of sunny weather. You can embrace a French tradition on the petanque court, bounce about on the trampoline or do nothing more strenuous than read on the terrace – perhaps with dinner cooking away on the barbecue in the background.

We should also mention that the home – once a farmhouse in a former life – is a pleasing mix of rustic and contemporary aspects, with wooden ceiling beams and a few patches of exposed stonework sitting quite happily alongside stark white walls, bold artwork and a super-sleek minimalist kitchen.

When it comes to seeing a little more of this corner of France, there's a good selection of spots that are a short drive away. The seaside towns of Saint-Malo and Dinard are a quarter of an hour away by car for instance, while both Rennes and Mont Saint Michel take around forty minutes to reach.

The Cozy Retreat

Ceiling Fans

Doorman

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. 

Sea it Clearly

Each of the four elegant bedrooms offers a comfortable retreat, and two rooms boast exceptional sea views from their private terraces. With a fenced property and parking for two cars, your privacy and convenience are guaranteed. Indulge in beachside bliss at 'The property'—your perfect coastal sanctuary.

Ocean 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?

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.
