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.

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.

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.

Welcome Hamper

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.

The Blue Vine

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? 

Lord of the Pines

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?

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

In an old house right on the seafront, this little home is the perfect place to relax and recharge your batteries in Brittany. Just half an hour from Saint-Malo, the loft apartment has character features like sloping ceilings, heavy oak beams and partially exposed stone walls, but at the same time it's been modernised with a bright white paint job, herringbone wood floors and skylights. Surprisingly open and bright, we particularly love the living space with its sea view window. The kitchen is perfectly well-equipped for cooking light meals at home but it's only a five-minute walk to the town centre with its bakeries, restaurants and bars (it's known for its oysters, by the way). Keen walkers will be able to explore the local hiking trails and there are all sorts of water sports on offer nearby too.

Open up the French doors in the serene bedroom and sip your morning coffee, accompanied by a coastal breeze. Whip up a hearty breakfast in the sleek kitchen to share in your charming garden with your loved ones before heading out to sink your toes in the sand. The open-concept living area is a cosy space thanks to its rich teal velvets, charcoal grey furnishings and golden mustard textiles – crashing here with a glass of Rosé d'Anjou after a day on the waves is blissful.

Cancale Charm

Baby Changing Mat

Hammock

Situated in the hamlet of La Gaudichais, a short walk from Verger Beach, this vibrant family home is all about gazing seaward and unwinding in style. The interiors are contemporary-cool with stylish furnishings and punchy colour combinations. Mornings here begin with breakfast in the open-concept living space, vying for first dibs on the chantilly cream, dolloped on top of fresh crêpes. While away afternoons in the garden, snoozing in the hammocks before prepping the barbecue ahead of a late lunch. 

If exploring is on the cards, take the ten-minute drive to Cancale, famous for its oysters and shellfish. Or why not head to Saint-Malo? Walk along the city walls then visit the Chateau de St Malo. At low tide, discover the Grand Bé island. 

Return home in the early evening to unwind in your private hot tub with a glass of fizz in hand. When it’s time to call it a night, quiet bedrooms with hotel-quality beds guarantee a restful slumber.

Colour at the Seaside

Enjoy a refreshing seaside retreat with this modern apartment as your base for just a two-minute stroll down to Cancale Beach. 

Laid out as a duplex, the open living, dining and kitchen areas present a sociable space for the group to come together after spending sunny days in Brittany. 

Serve up freshly caught oysters picked up from the oyster market (only five minutes away) around the dining table, or, better still – do a tasting in front of the sea as you watch the waves lap into the shore. With the option to dine at home or eat at the local restaurants and bars, the laid-back lifestyle here offers something for everyone. 

Discover the riches of the Emerald Coast with a walk along the port of La Houle, explore the village of Cancale, or try your hand at water sports such as surfing, sailing and diving, all available locally.
