Claret & Cream

Step inside this beautiful Bordeaux apartment, and you’ll be utterly charmed. Small but mighty, it has everything you need to set yourself up for a well-deserved break exploring the famed wine region.

One thing that caught our eye was how effortlessly this home seems to mix contemporary with classic. Beamed ceilings, exposed stonework and feature fireplaces sit happily alongside modern furniture pieces. Bathed in creams and whites and with large windows ushering the light in, this is a very bright yet calming space. Pops of colour are provided here and there through scatter cushions and eclectic artwork.

When it’s time to explore the city, you’ll find most of what you seek on your doorstep. Head out into the historic streets and alleyways, and you can find antique dealers and art galleries mixed in with cafes and beautiful restaurants. And of course, when in Bordeaux, wine tasting is a must.

After a day of visiting vineyards, picture yourself back at home, tucked up on the sofa with a glass of Bordeaux’s finest, reminiscing on a day well spent with your loved ones. As evening calls, head to your cosy bed, sink into your mattress and you’ll feel yourself relax instantly – you’re guaranteed a restful night’s sleep.
