“We rate the villa as 5/5. The Cote d’Armor and the area around St Cast is extraordinarily beautiful. We have visited many times and our favourite places to visit include Matignon market on Wednesday mornings. St Jacut de la mer market on Fridays and many other interesting places close by, like Dinard & St Malo on the coast and Dinan about 30 minutes inland. The beaches at St Cast le Guildo are a safe choice for families, our favourite is the Town Beach at the far end away from the town and near where the water sports are based. There’s plenty of places to park at that end of the beach. It’s also worth taking a walk from the town centre along the pathway under the cliffs to the Marina and find some really good places to eat there. That’s what we always do on the day we arrive because the ferry docks at St Malo around 08.00 hrs and we park in St Cast and enjoy a leisurely coffee in the town, then walk to the marina and enjoy lunch. By the time we’ve walked back it’s almost time to arrive at the property. There’s a small Carrefour supermarket in the town for any immediate supplies. Our main shopping is always at Super U in Matignon, and there’s also a Lidl in Matignon. Villa Armor is a great place to stay and only 10 minutes walk down to the town centre (takes a bit longer to walk back up the hill!). The owners are very welcoming, friendly and helpful and the house has a great open plan living space downstairs and very well equipped kitchen. The garden is a real pleasure. Outside space is very private with a wrap around patio area and grassed area and plenty of shade under trees and 3 parasols. A big outside table and loads of chairs available makes the whole experience very comfortable. We have been twice and would recommend it to friends and family. Christophe (of Select Villas) is friendly and helpful and very responsive in answering any questions. He has direct communication with the owners so is able to re-assure about anything you need to know to make your visit positive and enjoyable.”

“We all had a lovely holiday at Villa Armor, and we loved the town of St Cast le Guildo and the local area. The beaches were wonderful. The house itself was charming and perfect for our needs. It was very quiet and peaceful, except for building work right next door which was noisy at weekends, but not during the week. It was a very good place for me to recover, with garden umbrellas and loungers. Apart from a couple of small errors, (an out of date phone number and slightly incorrect information about the tourist tax) everything was as described in your information. The owner was charming and helpful and we did our best to leave everything clean and tidy. One small thing I wish we had known beforehand was that there would be no shops or restaurants open in St Cast le Guildo on arrival. We should have stopped en route in St Malo to get some basic supplies for a late supper. We will know better for our next visit! Thank you for all your help and kindness.”

“We had a lovely time at the villa thank you. We thought it might be handy if there were coffee filters already at the house, even just one for the first pot of coffee, and salt and pepper. We enjoyed the big garden and the house. The boys gave the beach 10/10.”

“We enjoyed our vacation very much. Not the best time of year for the weather, our dates were decided by a birthday event! Villa Armor was just as advertised and we much appreciated how well it was presented. One son was unable to join us due to last-minute work obligations, so our party was only three persons. The location was great and easy to reach in one day driving from Buckinghamshire via Eurotunnel.
We tallied our bill with a full refund of security deposit promptly on day of departure and was back in Bucks, early evening same day. We were surprised that there were no UK TV channels as we normally stayed at Gites and owned by Brit’s. No complaint here, but it would have been nice to have a UK channel. The internet was brilliant and real 5G too! Really appreciated that. The gardens (front and back) were remarkable, a bonus, and much appreciated.
Also Select Villas website was 100%. My son Daniel is a Web Master by the way!
Nice quiet location and walking distance to good quality restaurants. I would just leave one PS regarding the quantity of toilets in Villa Armor. There is one en-suite and one common shared toilet. This was totally sufficient for a family of 3 or 4 like us, so no negative comment here. Given that there could be 7 or 8 adults, I pondered it could be an issue. Again, we were not in the least troubled.
We would 100% not hesitate to return to VIlla Armor!”

“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 it.”

“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!”

“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.”

“The holiday was lovely and the owners were very helpful. We explored parts of Brittany that we had not previously visited.”

“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!”

“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! We would rate the property 5 stars (out of 5).”

“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.”

”We all had a brilliant holiday despite the weather- nice to get away! The property was very clean, kitchen well stocked and 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.”

’We had a lovely holiday in St Cast. The house had everything you could want. It is very convenient for the beach, restaurants and shops – all within a 10-15 minute walk. Thank you we had a great holiday and look forward to returning.’
