Historic Heart

Historic Heart: Brittany

Located in Saint-Malo, the age and history of this beautiful home become apparent as soon as you start to climb the narrow, steep period staircase up to the third floor. Open the door to your home-away-from-home, and you’re met with charm and character in abundance. This is a retreat for those who enjoy life's older, finer things.

There’s so much to love about this apartment. Quaint wooden shutters surround generous windows that usher in natural light. Wooden floors, an original stone fireplace, exposed wooden beams, and stone walls complete the look. Despite the age of this home, it’s been brought to life with modern furnishings and pops of colour, making it a cosy, comfortable place to rest. Golden touches bring a sense of glamour and luxury to this age-old space.

Nestled on a quiet street in the heart of the city, everything is within easy reach when you’re ready to get out and explore. In particular, there are beaches and a whole host of shops less than 100 metres away. Head to the coast, breathe in the salty sea air and you’ll feel a sense of calm wash over you. When weariness sets in, stroll home where you can settle down on your chaise sofa with a glass of fine wine to finish off the day in style.
