Idle Wild

This modern holiday home is located on the sunny coast of France, straddling the Bay of Biscay. The open-air design and tall sliding doors lay bare the home to natural sunlight and forest scents. We can’t get enough of the details here, from the panelled wood ceilings to the mid-century furniture that welcomes you in. It’s easy to fall into the warm embrace of the carefully curated interiors, with plush pillows and cosy sofas lining the communal areas. Balmy days by the pool beckon, and the outdoor dining area is the perfect place to gather with friends and toast a day well spent.

This is a great holiday home for a family or group of friends ready to explore the southern region of France and its enchanting countryside. Alternatively, the home is within close proximity to the Spanish border, so why not hop in the car and take a day trip to Bilbao to sample traditional Spanish tapas? For more local activities, the wetland reserve of Marais d’Orx and sandy beaches are close by.
