Lovely holiday property within walking distance of beach, close to St Malo and Dinard airport. A spacious, modern holiday home in a Breton seaside resort just a short drive from the ferry port of St Malo and Dinard airport. Villa Armor is a great location for a family seaside holiday or comfortable base from which to explore the Emerald Coast and inland. This bright and airy property is situated in a quiet residential area behind the centre of the resort, within easy walking distance of a large sandy beach and a good range of shops and restaurants. Other beaches are within a few minutes’ drive. There is plenty to do in St Cast le Guildo; activities include golf, tennis, water sports and coastal walks all close by. Villa Armor (built in 2006) has been looked after with care and offers all the creature comforts required of a holiday property. The ample, open-plan living and dining area opens onto a sizeable, west-facing rear terrace overlooking the well-maintained garden - perfect for enjoying the late afternoon and evening sunshine. The garden is laid mainly to lawn and has plenty of room for children to play. Dinard Airport is just 23km away (regular Ryanair flights from Stansted and East Midlands) and the ferry port of St Malo only a little further, at 32km. For an out-of-season break we can arrange arrival and departure dates to coincide with flights or sailings. Property size: 120m²

Second time staying at the property and another pleasant stay at villa Armor. Ideal location with close amenities such as a large supermarket, small towns, golf, water sports, and only a short walk to the beach. The property manager was accommodating and helpful on arrival, as was the property agent. The property itself is clean, well equipped and has spacious grounds. My sons and my parent also express their enjoyment and I shall look forward to staying again next year.
I see an ongoing annual rental as long as the owner provides itGuest rating:
We had a wonderful holiday at Villa Armor!
It was incredibly well equipped and comfortable - a real home from home. The photos on the website didn't do it justice, and it far exceeded our expectations. The rooms were generously sized and had everything we could have needed.
We loved the well-tended garden area, and the location of the Villa. It's great to be able to walk to town within a few minutes, to the beach, and the coastal path.
The owner was so helpful, friendly and kind.
We were impressed with the service of Select Villas, which was friendly, accurate and helpful.
All in all, we would thoroughly recommend the area, property and Select Villas!Guest rating:
We have just reluctantly returned from a week's holiday at Villa Armor. From the very outset of the booking process Christophe was super helpful and promptly addressed any queries that we had. Villa Armor itself is a lovely property with plenty of room for a family of 2 adults and 2 teenagers to spread out. The owners were super friendly and helpful when we encountered a couple of issues and Saint-Cast-le-Guildo itself is now our favourite place in Brittany. I cannot recommend Select Villas and Villa Armor highly enough, especially if you're looking for a relaxing holiday in a great property in a beautiful location.
Guest rating:
The holiday was lovely and the owners were very helpful. We explored parts of Brittany that we had not previously visited.
Guest rating:
We had a lovely time at Villa Amor - the house was well equipped and a short walk to the beach. The garden was great too so the kids could run around and play games
We loved the area and visited many places and would definitely come back to the area!
We’ll definitely keep Select Villas in mind for next years holiday!Guest rating:
We had a lovely stay at Villa Armor thank you.
Our hosts were very responsive to any questions we had and replaced a broken toaster very quickly. The house was comfortable and well equipped and the location was excellent. A bit of an uphill walk from the beach but very close to the town centre, bars and restaurants and we appreciated being so close to all the amenities and shops. We were provided with a map of the town and enjoyed exploring the local area. We discovered a little bar and hotel nearby which future guests might like to be made aware of. It meant we could enjoy a drink without having to walk down to town and back up the hill!Guest rating:
Thank you very much we had a lovely stay. I certainly wish I wasn’t back it’s much nicer there!! It was a well equipped spacious house in a perfect location for us. We had a very pleasant stay. The town had all the amenities we needed within walking distance. It is well positioned for visiting lots of lovely areas of the Brittany coast. Also some of the beautiful inland historic towns. Christophe was a pleasure to deal with and ensured everything went smoothly. Hope this helps and thanks again. I am sure we will be back to you for future holidays. Thanks again and best wishesGuest rating:
We all had a brilliant holiday despite the weather- nice to get away! The property was very clean, kitchen well stocked and the garden was beautiful. It was a shame there wasn’t any WiFi. I thought the booking service was very efficient and an easy process to book through so would definitely book through yourself again.
