About the Property:

South-facing Brittany villa with amazing sea views, spa room with hot tub, sauna and hammam plus direct access to the coastal path, rocky cove (50m) and small sandy beach (200m). Enclosed grounds with sun terrace and barbecue. Restaurants 500m, fishing port of Doelan 2.5km.

Seaside holiday villa, facing the sea and enjoying stunning sea views with the Ile de Groix in the distance. This is a traditional Breton property set within private enclosed grounds with sun terrace and barbecue. The real benefit of the position the villa finds itself in is the view and what a view it is, come rain or shine. Whether you are in the living room, on the decking, in the spa room or in the main bedroom, you will marvel at the panoramic sea views in front of you. A complete treat for the eyes.

From the villa itself, there is a direct access to the famous long-distance coastal path that runs along the entire coast of Brittany. Just beyond the path there is a short track that takes you to a sandy and rocky cove, a mere 50m from the villa. There is also a small sandy beach just 200m away. Just 4km away you will find a larger sandy beach with a unique rocky arch that gives it its name Plage de la Roche Percée. It takes ten minutes by car, or around fifty minutes to an hour on foot. You will also find larger beaches such as Plage du Pouldu or Plage de Bellangenet just over ten minutes by car.

Whether you are seeking a romantic getaway or taking the family away to discover the wonders of southern Brittany, this villa delivers on many aspects. With a double, two twins and a bunk bedroom it really gives you options when choosing a villa for your next stay in southern Finistere.

With its private hot tub, sauna, hammam and a great position overlooking the Atlantic Ocean on this beautiful stretch of Brittany’s south coast between Concarneau and Lorient, the villa is a great holiday choice, whatever the weather, any time of year. Staying at this villa, makes it a very attractive prospect for a holiday to remember.

The spa room is a great place to start your stay with some relaxation, and why not enjoy lazing around on a sunlounger on the decking whilst sipping a glass of wine or some cider as after all this is Brittany! The outdoor decked area benefits from afternoon and evening sunshine and watching the sun set over the ocean is quite frankly blissful.
The enclosed grounds are on a gentle slope towards the sea and are uneven in places.

The nearest restaurant and creperie (traditional Breton pancake restaurant) are just 500m away whilst Le Rive Gauche restaurant with river views on the opposite bank of the river is just 2.4km away. There is a further selection of restaurants in Doelan (2.5km), Clohars-Carnoët (4.5km) or Moëlan sur Mer (6.5km).

The wonderful village of Pont Aven with numerous art galleries and renowned for its biscuits is 19km away and the famous walled town of Concarneau just 38km.

COASTAL WALKS
With over 700 miles of coastline Brittany offers a great variety of walking for all levels from dramatic cliffs to marshland teeming with wildlife and wooded tidal creeks to long sandy beaches backed by sand dunes.

This is especially easy where peninsulas jut out into the sea and following the coast path brings you almost back to your starting point.

DAY TRIP IDEAS

Doelan (500m)
The unspoilt fishing port of Doelan is now famous across France. This quiet haven at the mouth of a wooded creek with just a few quayside restaurants, bars and cafes was the location for the hit French TV version of Doc Martin (with the same title as the original UK series).

Pont-Aven (19km)
Pont-Aven is a small village famous for its buttery biscuits and numerous art galleries. Many painters, including Gauguin, were attracted by the beauty of Pont-Aven and all the surrounding area. The town has many old mills, traditional stone-built houses and many seafood restaurants. The town also hosts a flower festival on the first Sunday in August.

Lorient (27km)
Lorient has a rich naval history and the many yachts and buildings surrounding the harbour reflect this as well as the German submarine base which has been turned into a tourist attraction. Why not spend the day in Lorient and hop on a ferry to the Ile de Groix which is located opposite the property. The crossing takes 45 minutes and the island which is the second biggest in Brittany after Belle-Ile has much to offer including lovely beaches, pretty colourful houses in the village, market twice a week and you can even hire bikes to cycle around the island on cycle paths over moorland, hidden coves and many beautiful beaches.

Concarneau (38km)
The main attraction of this important fishing port on the south Brittany coast is Ville Clos, a small walled town built on an island in the natural harbour. Accessed by a bridge from the quayside, the narrow streets within the granite ramparts are lined with shops and restaurants.

La Forêt-Fouesnant (42km)
Pretty coastal Breton village set in a wooded area between Concarneau and Bénodet. There is lots to do and visit here with a number of footpaths and hiking trails, the old harbour and the superb granite church, the long sandy beach and the marina Port-La-Forêt, the third biggest marina in south Brittany, where you can find some of the greatest offshore racing skippers.

Ile de Groix (45km)
Lying opposite the property (4.5km as the crow flies) the island is accessible by boat from Lorient. The crossing lasts about 50 minutes and the landmarks worth seeing are Port-Louis 16th century fortification, the Grands Sables beach and the Pen Men lighthouse. The island has a wonderful landscape with high and jagged cliffs, seashell beaches as well as coves with red sand or wide stretches of thin and white sand. It is also home of bird reserve which protects a wide range of seabirds.

Quimper (55km)
Although it has a feel of a small village Quimper is Brittany’s Finistere capital. With its slanted half-timbered houses and narrow cobbled streets, great museums, excellent crêperies, famous pottery and one of Brittany’s most delightful setting along the Odet river Quimper is a jewel waiting to be discovered.

Carnac (70km)
Carnac has the rather unusual juxtaposition of being a very popular seaside resort with lovely sandy beaches and home to one of the world’s most important prehistoric sites. Over 3000 stones of varying, yet unusually modest, proportions lie in densely packed parallel alignments, stretching for over one kilometre.
