Among the striking castles and chateau gardens of Sarzeau, this contemporary home combines contemporary living with historical surroundings.

With a beach just 300m away, there's no better way to spend a day than sunbathing on the sand, or trying your hand at windsurfing or sailing with a few lessons. If you're still seeking out natural beauty spots, the Morbihan Gulf is a must-visit. 

After a day of sand and surf, head home to cool off in the outdoor shower. Pop to the local village to pick some French ingredients to cook on the barbecue - there's no better way to spend an evening than an alfresco dinner on the patio. 

When darkness falls, head indoors to curl up in front of the fireplace with a good book, glass of wine in hand.

Sitting just outside the historic centre of Vannes with the beach less than a kilometre away, this home makes the perfect base for exploring the coast of Brittany. 

From exhilarating cycle rides (your thoughtful host has provided two bikes for you to use during your stay) to refreshing dips in the sea and sunset strolls along the shoreline, there’s everything you could need to experience the natural beauty of northwest France. And when you’re inspired to learn more about the region's rich history, make your way to the narrow cobbled streets and medieval gates of the town centre. You’ll find Cathédrale Saint-Pierre and the colourful half-timbered houses are just a short drive away. There are also lovely local restaurants and bars, as well as vibrant markets within easy reach – perfect for stocking up on fresh produce and French delicacies. And after a day full of fresh sea air, this home welcomes you to relax and enjoy its calm simplicity.

Open the doors from the living room and you’ll find the garden welcoming you to savour refreshing drinks and nourishing meals around the table. And when the weather draws you back inside, the living room provides a laid-back setting for sharing stories, reading and cosy movie nights. 

Maison Clémente 

Parking On Street

A sharp contrast to the ancient city of Vannes, this modern apartment offers all of the home comforts needed for a desirable stay for two along the Gulf of Morbihan. Set in a traditional stone building in La Madeleine, you're surrounded by cosy cafés, bakeries, mini-markets and restaurants, while the narrow cobbled streets of Old Vannes are a ten-minute walk from your doorstep. 

From ornamental marble fireplaces and velvet armchairs to abundant natural light and vibrant pops of colour, every decorative detail has been lovingly considered to create a calm and comfortable pad for your return each day. So whether you're enjoying a cuppa' tea in the living room or having a French breakfast at the window-side dining table, it's easy to settle in and feel right at home. 

When it's time to head out, you're a short ten-minute stroll from the Garden of the Ramparts, while Port de Vannes and Porte Saint-Vincent are no more than fifteen minutes away on foot. It's a commune that's rich in history and culture, so there's always something to see and do here.

Balcony

Part of a building constructed only in 2022, you can certainly tell that this apartment is a recent addition to Brittany. Everything about the interior feels fresh and contemporary, from the stark white walls and on-trend mid-century furnishings to the oh-so-modern kitchen.

Another big draw is the balcony, which has plenty of space for outdoor dinners that stretch long into the evening. Alternatively, you can bring a taste of alfresco life to the interior by sliding open the large glass doors and letting in a coastal breeze.

When it comes to seeing a little more of the local area, you don't have far to reach the seaside — indeed, Plage de Beaumer takes eight minutes to reach on foot. The famous Carnac stones — a collection of megalithic standing stones, tombs and burial mounds — are a similar amount of time away by car.

The Pleasure is All Mine

This home lends itself perfectly to those chasing the beaches of the gulf. You're just 1.2 kilometres from the nearest beach, while the famous fine sand beach of Penvins is 2 kilometres from your door. Whether you're hoping to sunbathe, go sailing or get the adrenaline pumping with various available watersports, you're in the right place. You won't have to worry about the necessities, either – head down to Sarzeau's weekly market on Friday and pick up some fresh local produce. Whether you're enjoying the Breton landscape or immersing yourself in the day-to-day life of a local, you'll feel right at home.

And when the beautiful views draw you outside, you’ll find an abundance of space to lounge under the trees, get lost in a book and savour dreamy barbecue meals that stretch long into the evening. 

When you feel inspired to explore beyond this peaceful sanctuary, you’ll find the spectacular beaches of Morbihan are just a short drive away.

Want to get away from the everyday? A stay in a quintessentially French gîte ought to do the trick. This cobblestoned house is packed full of character – from the rustic exposed beams, to the gorgeous view through the windows on the gabled roof, to the delightful fireplace in the living area. And did we mention there's a heated swimming pool too?

You can spend an idyllic morning tucking into a crusty French baguette with apricot jam around your alfresco dining set, while you gaze out at views of the lake in the distance. Get a few laps of the pool in to cool off, before heading out to explore the French countryside, or perhaps one of the surrounding towns – Quimper and Nantes are located just a short drive away, both charming towns that are steeped in history. In the evening, cook up some delicious French meats on your barbecue and tuck in while watching the sunset, or gather around your fireplace with a bottle of burgundy and enjoy late-night conversations with loved ones.

Serene mornings tucking into breakfast on your private terrace and evenings watching the sunset over the sea will be part of your daily routine in this apartment. The seafront is right on your doorstep so you never have to go far to enjoy the breeze and immerse yourself in nature. As if that weren’t enough, the Quiberon Golf course is a fifteen-minute walk away and Sofitel Quiberon Thalassa Sea & Spa is even closer, so you can indulge in thalassotherapy treatments and massages, relax in the sauna and play a game of golf all in one day. Having said that, days at home making your favourite meals, sipping cocktails after dinner and binge-watching films are not to be neglected.

Turquoise Treat

Whether you’re spending lazy days with your loved ones indoors or exploring the landmarks of Quiberon, a stay in this home means that you’re never far from the comforts of holiday life. Aqua tones, pearly white walls and the sunlight shining through the glass doors make this home as soothing as the nearby seas and sands. Have brunch in the living area and recline on the sofa for some quality time with friends or family. Stroll down to Port Maria Beach which is just fifty metres away from the home. Sofitel Quiberon Thalassa Sea & Spa and the Quiberon golf course are equally a five-minute drive away – treat yourself to thalassotherapy treatments and massages at the spa after a few hours on the putting green. Dinner followed by lounging sessions on the balcony is the perfect way to end the day.

Aqua Dream

This is a beautiful single-family house located in La Trinité sur Mer, just 900 metres from the sea and 1.4km from the beach. The house features large living and dining areas with beautiful furnishings, as well as an open kitchen with modern appliances and a dining nook. There are four bedrooms, including one on the ground floor with a French bed and an en-suite shower. Upstairs, there is another room with a French bed and two rooms with twin beds. Guests can enjoy a spacious terrace with outdoor furniture and a barbecue, as well as a garden that is currently being developed. Other amenities include free WiFi, a garage for two cars, and storage for bicycles. The property is conveniently located near shops, restaurants, sports facilities, and attractions like Carnac et ses Alignements and Presqu'Ile de Quiberon.

Sun Umbrellas

Beautifully modernised and an architectural dream, this home will be the backdrop to a memorable stay. Nature is brought indoors tastefully through materials and textures, reminiscent of the stunning surrounding garden and beach on your doorstep. Downstairs is open plan and flooded with light – the ideal space for entertaining a large gathering of loved ones. Towering skylights offer a peak at the stars as you relax in front of the log burner on those cooler evenings. Each bedroom is clean and modern with a soft chalk colour palette, tastefully breaking up the serenity of white. We love how each room has a beam of French sunlight creating stunning shadow patterns through the unique windows. 

During summer, enjoy breakfast alfresco on your classic wooden terrace. The deck chairs are tucked around the corner to pop your feet up if you fancy a slower morning, feeling the gentle breeze on your face. Residing moments away from the glistening coastline means all the seaside entertainment is at your fingertips. You won’t need to leave your garden to have a memorable afternoon, however, with a ping pong table and other activities at home to enjoy. Pour yourself a glass of fine French wine, fire up the barbecue and you'll be in for a wonderful stay. 

Oculus & Light

Tucked at the end of a quiet lane in Saint-Colombier, this home invites you to experience the natural beauty and historic charm of southern Brittany. 

Surrounded by trees with easy access to the spectacular walking and cycling trails along the Gulf of Morbihan, you’ll find everything you could need for an adventurous and restorative retreat. And from the moment of arrival, you’ll want to pause and savour the welcoming presence of this home. From the traditional features and rustic styling to the soft lighting, the space is perfectly designed for relaxing and sharing quality time together.  

Open the doors from the kitchen and you’ll find the garden welcoming you to enjoy the fresh air with a quiet morning coffee, or later with evening drinks and barbecue meals. And when the weather draws you inside, the snug living room provides the perfect setting for cosy movie nights or sharing stories by the fire. 

 From here, days can be spent discovering Morbihan’s beautiful beaches, megalithic monuments, historic towns and spectacular scenery. Set sail on a cruise boat to see the surrounding islands (Port-Navalo is a short drive away), sample the local seafood and follow trails through the fields and forests of Landes de Lanvaux. Wherever the day takes you, this home makes the perfect setting to sit back and savour the simple pleasures of coastal living,  

Pearl Blue

Spend an idyllic afternoon on the white sands of Carnac's Grande Plage – we love that this fabulous beach is just a hop and a skip away. If you tire of dipping your toes in the crystal clear waters of the Iroise Sea – unlikely, we know – this town offers a myriad of other attractions to enjoy. It has more megalithic sites than you can shake a stick at – around 3000 standing stones to be exact, giving it the world's greatest concentration. If that's not your thing, head to the Carnac Spa for all sorts of thalassotherapy treatments. Of course, there's also a wide choice of seafood restaurants and boutiques to choose from right on your doorstep. You don't have to go anywhere to enjoy the seascape though. Just take a seat on your south-facing balcony and enjoy the vista opening up to the sea. Inside, a blend of calming greys, beach tones, nautical themes and natural materials create an abode that feels both stylish and homely. At the end of the day, the tastefully decorated and comfy bedrooms will ensure you have a good night's sleep – which is a good job, with so much on offer in this slice of Brittany.

Flintstones

Just a nine-minute drive from the awe-inspiring, prehistoric Carnac Stones, this stone villa might not be as ancient, but it’s certainly got a different type of allure. Your apartment is set up in the sloped roof of this traditional home, where the rich wood of the pine planks brings warmth and colour to otherwise understated interiors. We love the natural feel of the living and dining space – wicker chairs and decorations, faux fur throws, and pale wooden floors are illuminated by a sloped window and the glass doors leading to the balcony. This cute outdoor spot looks out to views of nearby gardens. We think it's the perfect place to enjoy a fresh baguette, nibble some olives, and sip a chilled glass of sauvignon blanc. At bedtime, ascend the staircase to the mezzanine floor. Mirrored wardrobes extend the space, with yet more fabulous wooden slatted ceilings to wake up to. After your morning café au lait, grab your beach towel and take an eight-minute walk to Plage de Carnac. Spend the morning trying watersports like kitesurfing, then spend the afternoon sunbathing while you listen to the lapping waves.

Nice to haves

We can easily see why Layers Upon Layers was chosen as one of the best homes for breaks in France in 2016 — it's typical French countryside home with oodles of charm and plenty of amenities that will help you make lifelong memories. The interior has been furnished with gorgeous furniture that give it a rather retro-rustic atmosphere, and the host is keen on restoring period features, so that you can immerse yourself into the spirit of rural France. Meneac is far from a ghost town even outside of the tourist season, making it a great destination year-round, but there are plenty of interesting villages and castles to explore in the area. When you've had your fill of sights for the day, return to your holiday residence and try out a new recipe, or get the charcoal barbecue going in the garden. After a nice meal, treat yourself to some local wine and organise a movie night with the help of the big flat-screen TV that's equipped with Freeview.

With a view over the Anse de Doëlan, lazy afternoons can be spent watching the movements in the marina from the overlooking terrace of this home. Can you picture it? Sitting out on the deck with a glass of wine as the boats make their voyages? Almost as if counting sheep, you might find the activity calming and meditative, which probably has a little to do with the surroundings of this home. Tranquil and ripe with opportunity to visit the beaches around Le Pouldu, the woodland of Carnoët – with hiking trails in the famous GR 34 – there is plenty that will instil a soothing connection to the great outdoors. Even back home, you can open the bi-fold doors separating the living room from the terrace, and sit down to a gaping view of this corner of Brittany.  

Start your mornings in the kitchen, where you can top up on coffee before escaping onto the second terrace for a few contemplative moments. Sit out there until the rest of the group makes their way downstairs and grab hold of a cooking assistant. Work on a breakfast you can enjoy at the dining table before setting off for an explorative day.

With ample light filtering into the living room – from both the bi-fold doors and the skylights – bookworms will likely find this space their refuge. Sprawl out on the couch to enjoy the peace in quiet as you get lost in fictional worlds. 

Explore Le Pouldu and Lorient – during the summer months, both have a busy cultural calendar and you can join in the festivities before making it back home in time for the sunset.

There's one main reason that people flock to the town of Damgan and that's the long stretches of idyllic beaches that dominate the coastline in this corner of Brittany. With this in mind, you can see why we're so smitten with this apartment that's only 80 metres from the seaside.

Having said that, there's more riding in the home's favour than its prime position on the map. The design is sleek and contemporary, with a preference for walls painted in muted grey, sleek surfaces and white furnishings. The bedrooms might lie on the smaller side, but the open and light-filled communal space more than makes up for it – if not, the private balcony should act as a sweetener.
 
When it comes to filling up your itinerary, more active types will be overjoyed at the number of outdoor excursions that are easy to try here, whether it's renting bicycles and watersports equipment or simply swimming in the Gulf of Morbihan. The town centre is only 150 metres from the home when you want restaurants, cafes and bars.

Shiver Me Timbers

Making a stunning first impression with its fisherman charm, this cottage in the heart of Plouhinec is a perfect home for a family visiting Brittany’s coast. This location is a swimmer’s paradise, and with the salty breeze of Morbihan surrounding you, you’ll wake up ready to dive into the waters off of Magouëro Beach.

First thing in the morning, gather around the sleek table with an array of local cheeses, jammy confitures and a crusty baguette before heading out for a swim on Etel Beach – why not pack a picnic to enjoy on the sands ready for when hunger strikes? In the afternoon, explore the quaint Etel Port, where you can sample the native oysters and a glass of Muscadet overlooking the bobbing hulls. Return home, sink into the plump sofas for a cosy night with your loved ones and relax. Bliss.

Brittany Breton

This attractive home is a splendid choice for a family holiday. It’s at the heart of Moëlean sur Mer, just 500 metres from Place de l’Eglise de Moëlean but on a quiet street. 

The house is pretty and bright, with a lovely open-plan living and dining space. This is the heart of the home, where you’ll gather to cook and dine together, and relax in the evenings. You might shop at the weekly local market for fresh ingredients, and whip up Breton pancakes or pork rillettes. 

Outside, the enclosed garden is delightful in the afternoon. Soak up the sunshine on a sun lounger, or gather around the table for snacks and a chilled glass of wine. The south-facing terrace is perfect in the early evening, when the sun is starting to dip in the sky. 

It takes just fifteen minutes by car to reach some of Brittany’s nicest beaches – pack a picnic and make a day of it. You might also take a day-trip to Pont-Aven – the famous painters’ village is just twenty minutes away. Who knows, perhaps you’ll come away feeling inspired and paint the next great masterpiece on the terrace.

This magnificent château lies on the southern coast of Brittany, surrounded by acres of ancient woodland. You'll find a farmhouse and a dovecote that speak to the rich history of this home, and a medieval entrance hall with its original stone walls and flooring. Whether you're gathering by one of the open fireplaces and keeping cosy, challenging friends to a game of table tennis or heading out to explore the expansive grounds and enjoy a game of croquet or alfresco dining, there's plenty to do during your stay.

There's only a ten-minute drive between you and the beaches of the Atlantic coast, and it's only a short drive into the historic town of Quimperlé where you'll find necessities and fantastic local food. Breton beaches are within easy reach, and you can head out to sea for some water sports or paddle boarding around Larmor-Plage. In the evening, draw yourself a hot, luxurious bath before drifting off to sleep in one of the plush beds.

With easy access to Brittany's GR34 coastal path, you'll find yourself surrounded by gorgeous greenery and striking scenery in every direction of your doorstep. Sixteen minutes down the road, awaits the village of Pont-Aven – famous for its school of painters led by Gauguin.

Far away from the stresses of city life, this modern masterpiece lets you feel the Breton sea breeze from its southwest-facing private deck. Begin the day by treating yourself to a French breakfast of coffee and croissants in bed, as you enjoy a leafy view through these giant windows. From planning your outings at the kitchen island to reading books on the grape-coloured sofas, this open-plan living space was designed with conversation and elegance in mind. When you return from a fun-filled adventure, be sure to listen to your favourite songs as you sip wine at sunset.

This home is in the jolly seaside town of Carnac Plage, putting shops, restaurants and cafés all on your doorstep. It’s also just a two-minute dander to the town’s popular sweep of sandy beach, with calm shallows perfect for bathing and paddling.  A traditional-style French townhouse with white-wash wooden shutters hides a modern interior. The breezy, open living area has a handful of seating areas for the group to spread out on and a kitchen big enough for the bustle of a busy family breakfast time. It’s all centred around a fireplace at the heart of the home. The garden is a real treat, set with alfresco dining for the group and bursting with alliums and hydrangea and shaded by ancient trees.

This home has a fantastic location, too; it's just a 10-minute drive from the historic town of Carnac and the beach at Sainte-Barbe. Elsewhere, the Quiberon peninsula is also worth a visit – make sure to pick up some canned sardines, the town's delicacy. Return home as the sun goes down for a barbecue in the garden, perhaps with a glass of local Brittany wine.

Waltzing Along

Balcony / Rooftop Terrace

Cleaning Products

If you dream of waking up to coffee and a garden of greens, purples, blues, and pinks, then look no further than this captivating home in the French countryside where you can come down after a peaceful night’s sleep, brew a fresh cuppa and sit outside simply enjoying the scent in the air and the sounds of nature all around. The manicured landscape and decking is, of course, one of the standout features about this home, but inside is pretty special too. 

The exposed beams, as well as the feature stone wall – which perfectly matches the cladding of the facade – all serve as reminders that this is in fact a farmhouse, but the way in which it has been modernised means the similarities end there. Rustic chic and modern design decisions come together to create an atmosphere of homeliness, but with an elegant twist. 

Bake together in the kitchen and eat the yield around the kitchen island before it has even had a chance to cool down. Barbeque, dine alfresco, and enjoy drinks on the deck at sunset. Light the wood-burning stove for a cosy evening of board games or to watch a family movie together, and after dark, sneak back out for a bit of stargazing 

The Green Escape

Easy views of the sea, chic furnishings and starry ceiling lights are all a testament to the magnificence of this home and we’re sure you’ll agree once you lay your eyes on it. A light breakfast with family under the chandelier or a hearty brunch with friends out on the balcony, mealtimes with the people you love are always a joy.

The home is just fifty metres from the beach and a six-minute drive from the spectacular scenery at the Côte Sauvage, making it perfect for days out.

The outdoor patio area is the best spot for morning coffees and al fresco breakfasts, with plenty of seating, benches and an immaculate lawn. Conquering indoor-outdoor living, the master bedroom also leads out to a private sun-dappled terrace, great for a breaking open a bottle of something nice after putting the kids to bed.

Take a short stroll down the street to the sandy shores of Quiberon coast, discovering an array of quaint restaurants, cafes, and bars. For a fun family day out head to the thermal baths and indoor pool, just a short drive away.

La Petite Chant

Secured Parking

This modern home blends in beautifully with its surroundings. The natural stone-clad exterior hides a plush interior filled with soft, velvet couches, wooden floors, an open-hearth fireplace and bedrooms that look as if they belong in a boutique hotel. There’s a grand dining table with sumptuous chairs where you can enjoy a home-cooked meal prepared in the slick black-and-white kitchen. Outside, the heated swimming pool and sun deck have views over grassy fields to where the Loire meets the wild Atlantic. The best part is that you’re just 100 metres from the sea and long, lazy days on the beach. On rare cooler evenings, light up the fireplace and settle in for a movie marathon.

Blue Admiral

Carnac is a fabulous hub of quaint churches, artisan cheesemongers, delicious seafood restaurants, and prehistoric monuments. This town’s eclectic mix of activities is sure to keep you on your toes, but it’s equally wonderful for simply sunbathing on the shore. And when you're living on a street called Boulevard de la Plage, you can imagine that there might be a beach in sight. A five-minute stroll from the beachfront of Grande Plage de Carnac, this modern studio is the perfect base for your seaside stay. Set in a mid-century block of flats, the understated exteriors don’t give away much about what you’ll find inside. Elegant and sophisticated, your living space features wooden floors, cabinets, and a wicker lampshade which bring a certain warmth to this cosy space. With your own little private balcony, alfresco dining is certainly on the cards. Break into a fresh baguette with a few slices of Saint-Paulin cheese (a Breton favourite) and olive oil as you plan the afternoon ahead. If you’ve eaten too much for watersports and swimming on the beach, take a seven-minute drive to the Carnac Stones – these granite megaliths date as far back as 4500 BC.

This is a charming 5-room house located in the heart of Saint Philibert, just 400m from the sea and 1km from the beach.

Moëttes & Sympaths

Underfloor Heating

Set in northwest France, this comfortable home is an excellent choice for a family looking to unwind and adventure in the Brittany region. Inside, the place looks and feels personal: it’s packed with mix-match furniture, statement wallpaper and modern staples. There’s an open-plan living space with a fully-equipped kitchen and dining area that’s perfect for hearty suppers at the end of a busy day. 

On sunny afternoons, we guarantee you’ll be out in the garden, splashing about in the pool and picnicking on the lawn. If you’re keen to stretch your legs, take the fifteen-minute drive into Vannes for a stroll along the cobbled streets. Admire the half-timber houses in Place des Lices before holing up in a harbourside restaurant to watch the boats to and fro. And when the day draws to a close, find a spot on the sandy Plage de Kervert, a twenty-minute drive away, to watch the sun set over Quiberon Bay.

Situated in a quiet village close to the Brittany coastline, there's an air of nobility to the handsome white facade of this townhouse surrounded by idyllic grounds and this impression continues behind the front door.

High ceilings and tall windows make for palatial proportions in many of the rooms, especially the lavish bedrooms and the living room with its chandelier and vintage-style furnishings. By contrast, other spaces have been modernised, like the chic white kitchen which is plenty large enough for cooking up Breton-inspired feasts.

As well as scoring high in the style stakes, there's plenty to keep guests entertained here. On the top floor, a games room with a pool table and board games is sure to be welcome on rainy afternoons, while the three terraces, large garden and hot tub will all see lots of use when the weather's a little warmer.

In local Muzillac, there's a good choice of restaurants and bars a short walk from the home, while you won't be short of ways to fill a day in the wider area.  Beaches along the Brittany coastline are easily reached in the car, as are Brière Natural Regional Park and the city of Vannes.

A Tale as Old as Time

The kitchen is fully equipped with all modern appliances including an oven, dishwasher, and microwave. Guests also have access to high-speed internet throughout the property. Located near many popular attractions such as Quiberon peninsula, Alignements de Carnac, La Trinité sur Mer, Vannes, and Lorient, this is an ideal choice for those looking for a peaceful seaside getaway.

Renovated in 2012, this countryside family home is perched at the top of a hill and boasts beautiful south-facing lawns with abundant wildlife in the garden. Spend your days whiling away in the sunshine by the private swimming pool, outside dining area or over a game of boules out on the extensive lawn. Inside, you'll find just as much to be excited about as stylish contemporary designs pave the way to blissful relaxation. So unplug, unwind and reconnect with yourselves, as from this quintessential French countryside home – "le bonheur de vivre" (the art of living) is encouraged. 

Situated 25 kilometres away from the sea, take days out to the nearest sandy shores (Bares Beach), just a twenty-minute drive away. Within closer proximity, visit the sports harbour (8 kilometres away), a nine-hole golf course (5 kilometres away) and a children's playground – only 200 metres from your front door. Not to mention, there is an array of walking paths to be explored, offering fresh air and plenty of stunning views of the local nature. 



La Maison des Frères

This beautiful, thatched 19th-century cottage is as pretty as a picture. We love the gorgeous panoramic views of the river, sea, and the port from the south-facing terrace and garden. It's the perfect spot to watch the boats go by while tucking into some seafood washed down with a glass of local cider.

The interiors are just as charming as the exterior, with exposed stone walls, terracotta floors, vases of hydrangea and whitewashed beamed ceilings decorated with oars and fishing lines. Gather around the hearth with its deer antlers and wood burner when the Brittany weather turns chilly. There are more of those lovely river vistas from inside too. This place is a great retreat for family or friends all year round.

There's plenty to explore out and about – it's less than a minute's walk to the river, while Névez is just 4 kilometres away. The Port de Kerdruc is 270 metres, and there's a sailing school 5.7 kilometres, or if you fancy a day at the beach, Plage de Port Manec'h is just under 6 kilometres from this enchanting home.


Boats Etching Lines on the Water	

Nestled amidst established gardens, yet just moments from Carnac's longest and most popular beach – this apartment has a location that's hard to beat. With a mere two-minute stroll you can be in the heart of the bustling resort centre for a spot of lunch, before heading over to Carnac’s renowned thalassotherapy and spa for some rejuvenation. Or for the culture vultures, spend the afternoon exploring Carnac’s Stones – an exceptionally dense collection of megalithic sites (top fact - they pre-date Stonehenge by around 100 years). Back at home, you’ll find fresh, modern interiors throughout. Families or groups of friends sharing will appreciate the two separate bathrooms, meaning no valuable time wasted queuing for the shower. We're particularly fond of the private balcony that gives way to green views of the quiet gardens below and has a dining table ready to go for an evening of alfresco dining. The same green views are also enjoyed from the two bedrooms, meaning you’re all in for a peaceful night's sleep here.
