Musings in Saint-Malo

Musings in Saint-Malo: Brittany

Just a few steps from the sands of Plage de la Hoguette, this home offers a modern base to make the most of this historic port city. The interior combines coastal tones, bold accents, and contemporary touches that inspire a sense of calm. And whether you’re here with a culturally-packed itinerary, an adrenaline-fuelled surf retreat or a family beach break, this is a place you’ll look forward to returning home to.

Open up the French doors in the serene bedroom and sip your morning coffee, accompanied by a coastal breeze. Whip up a hearty breakfast in the sleek kitchen to share in your charming garden with your loved ones before heading out to sink your toes in the sand. The open-concept living area is a cosy space thanks to its rich teal velvets, charcoal grey furnishings and golden mustard textiles – crashing here with a glass of Rosé d'Anjou after a day on the waves is blissful.

When you’re ready to explore, the city’s cultural and historical highlights are all within walking distance – from discovering the unique history of the National Fort to exploring the city’s abundant food markets to hiking the GR34 trail. Make sure to sample oysters caught off the coast with a glass of locally-produced cider on the promenade.
