About the Property:

Secluded villa with heated indoor pool and hot tub, within walking distance of a wooded creek and 4km from the beach.

This secluded villa enjoys a verdant setting within walking distance of a wooded creek on a lovely stretch of Brittany’s south coast, between Concarneau and Lorient. With its indoor pool, hot tub, sauna and games room – and sandy beaches nearby – it offers the perfect location for a seaside holiday at any time of the year.

Villa Port is hidden away down small country lanes close to the River Laita, along a stretch that is a sheltered inlet offering anchorage. Here, riverside paths lead through the woods to eventually reach the port and small seaside resort of Le Pouldu (4km by road) with its several sandy coves.

Just a few kilometres further up the coast is the unspoilt fishing port of Doelan, now famous across France. This quiet haven 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). Just across the river at Guidel (but 13km by road) the beaches stretch out along the flatter coastline as far as Larmor Plage and the entrance to the natural harbour of Lorient.

The villa is arranged on split levels, however the heart of the property is without doubt the spacious dining room with large table plus a coffee table and occasional chairs. The room overlooks the indoor pool and French windows open onto the front and side terraces.

Outside the sizeable, mature garden, including a small orchard, offers a good deal of privacy as well as plenty of space for children to play and ample shade for those who prefer to enjoy dappled sunshine whilst relaxing on a lazy afternoon.

Places to visit nearby

BEACHES

Le Pouldu (4km) This quiet seaside resort has a choice of sandy beaches.

Doelan (7km) The nearby 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).

Guidel (11.5km) Guidel beaches are famous for their beautiful fine sand.

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. Including a stretch of the coast in a circular walk is often very straightforward. 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

Pont-Aven (22km)
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. Pont-Aven 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 (23km)
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 (37km)
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.

Ile de Groix (40km)
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.

La Forêt-Fouesnant (47km)
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.

Quimper (59km)
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 (66km)
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.

NEARBY ACTIVITIES
The region offers many sporting and leisure activities.
Surfing school 3.5km away (Plage de Kerou) or in Guidel Plage (11.5km) offering surfing, sailing, jet skiing and canoeing.
Horse riding 1.2km in Clohars Carnoët.
