Youthful Spirit

Bordeaux is sophisticated and chic, but it has a fun and youthful side, and this cheerful duplex apartment perfectly complements the city. Located in an 18th-century building, just a five-minute walk from the centre, this home combines rustic charm with contemporary playfulness. With everything you need for a comfortable stay, it's a fantastic choice for a group of friends to explore Bordeaux.

We can't get enough of this home's colourful, vibrant decor. Original artwork is hung on stone brick walls, the shelves are stacked with books, and bright colours are everywhere. Even the pod coffee machine is orange. There's something to make you smile everywhere you look. You'll love spending time here, from enjoying drinks and nibbles around the kitchen table to watching TV in the cosy mezzanine area.

Exploring Bordeaux comes easy here. You're located in the bohemian Chartrons neighbourhood, which has a personality of its own. The vibrant area is dotted with cool coffee shops, eateries, local boutiques, and vintage stores, and it's just a five-minute walk from the centre. When dinner rolls around, your kitchen is well-equipped for whipping up meals, or you can take the short three-minute walk to the waterfront, which is teeming with restaurants and bars.
