Description Colour at the Seaside: Cancale

Situated in the hamlet of La Gaudichais, a short walk from Verger Beach, this vibrant family home is all about gazing seaward and unwinding in style. The interiors are contemporary-cool with stylish furnishings and punchy colour combinations. Mornings here begin with breakfast in the open-concept living space, vying for first dibs on the chantilly cream, dolloped on top of fresh crêpes. While away afternoons in the garden, snoozing in the hammocks before prepping the barbecue ahead of a late lunch.

If exploring is on the cards, take the ten-minute drive to Cancale, famous for its oysters and shellfish. Or why not head to Saint-Malo? Walk along the city walls then visit the Chateau de St Malo. At low tide, discover the Grand Bé island.

Return home in the early evening to unwind in your private hot tub with a glass of fizz in hand. When it’s time to call it a night, quiet bedrooms with hotel-quality beds guarantee a restful slumber.
