Maison Marjolaine and Annexe

Set in a village in southern Brittany, this holiday home is all about inviting interiors, a fantastic private pool and being a great base for exploring the beautiful town of Vannes and the incredible Morbihan Gulf.

Having undergone a recent renovation, Maison Marjolaine and its annexe offer elegant furnishings and ample space for up to 12 guests across six bedrooms. In the main house, the lounge is modern in style whilst the open-plan kitchen-diner is light and airy thanks to the garden windows and doors. Find four attractive bedrooms alongside two shower rooms whilst the contemporary-style annexe, right next door, offers two further doubles and more characterful living space making this home ideal for an extended family or group of friends.

Relax in the large garden by the heated swimming pool and play a game of boules before gathering together to feast by the barbecue on the south-facing terrace. Throughout the day the garden is a wonderful space to spend time with loved ones, perhaps before wandering out to the local restaurant in the village.

There are walks straight from the village whilst within a short drive you will find a golf course, or head to the Base de Loisirs, usually open in July and August, for summer watersports and fishing. Yet one of the greatest draws of this region is the historic town of Vannes, a jewel of Brittany. Visit on market day to pick up all sorts of regional produce, seek out fresh fish including oysters from the Morbihan Gulf or simply stroll around the town with its medieval lanes, 13th century ramparts, elegant gardens and atmospheric port.

There is so much to discover across the Morbihan Gulf whether you explore by boat, bike or foot – come across tiny islets, rare wildlife and the most beautiful scenery including gorgeous beaches by the ocean. Take a ferry to two of the largest islands, hire canoes or kayaks and visit oyster farms – whatever you do you’ll be surely mesmerised by this incredible part of Brittany.
