Home description

A beautiful five-bedroom villa situated on the sunny coast of South Brittany near Sarzeau. Carefully designed by one of the best Breton architects, this stylish modern holiday home is spacious, convenient, quiet and fully equipped (with a 3 star official French rating). It takes only two hours to drive there from St Malo.

The quarter acre well-wooded garden is ideal for children, with swings and patio furniture. Or you can relax on the large sunny vine-clad balcony looking out and listening to the sea. One of the best and safest beaches in Brittany lies just 5 minutes stroll (500 yards) down the lane, which has no through traffic. Excellent shell-fishing. Splendid new waterpark with spa facilities close by in Surzur.  There are plenty of interesting cliff, coastal and country walks in the vicinity, and it is a great area for cycling (cycles can be hired locally).

About the location

The whole area around the little port of St Jacques, which is a mile from the house, is well known by the French for its sheltered sunny 'micro-climate' from mid April through to October, like Carnac, further to the west. There are several bars and restaurants nearby, the closest on the beachfront less than 15 minutes' stroll away, together with a boulangerie and supermarket.

Sarzeau, three miles to the north, has excellent shopping and entertainment facilities including horse-riding and all-weather tennis. A little further afield inland is an all-weather waterpark. Along the coast lie, to the east, the delightfully restored castle of Suscinio and, to the west, the port of Crouesty with its seawater Spa, where boats may be hired, or golf played on the 18 hole course (there are several more courses within easy driving distance).

A variety of cruises around the gulf of Morbihan or to the islands offshore can be taken from Port Navalo just beyond Crouesty. The splendid medieval town of Vannes (which has a fine aquarium) is only twenty minutes away by car. Other attractions within easy access include prehistoric sites, chateaux, museums, wildlife parks and many charming small towns & villages.

How to get here

The nearest airports are Nantes and Rennes (both just over an hour away by car) and a little further away are Dinard and Brest. 

Alternatively fly to Paris and take the TGV train to Vannes (under 3 hours), and hire a car for the final twenty minute drive to the house. Or take the Eurotunnel/TGV service all the way from London changing in Paris or Lille.

By ferry from the UK the nearest port is St Malo (about two hours drive from Sarzeau), with Roscoff a little further and Caen, Cherbourg and le Havre 3 to 4  hours away.  From the Channel Tunnel and short sea crossing routes, it takes up to 6 hours of steady driving - but Honfleur and Caen both make excellent stopovers around the half way mark.
