The houses of Kerdavid'île - La Biche - Belle Île

MaudRating, 5 stars9 months ago

We had a pleasant stay on this small island that bears its name so well. Very well hosted by Brigitte, Vinciane's accommodation is well thought out and very functional, it is also perfectly located. Even under the drizzle, we had a lot of fun exploring the island, so charming we find the pastel colors and the play of light so dear to Claude Monet.

Walking distance to the beach - beautiful sea view for this apartment.

SabineRating, 5 stars7 months ago

A super relaxing week with the nicest late summer in a wonderful location. Mary's apartment is a small oasis furnished with a lot of love for detail - arrive and feel comfortable! The view from the balcony, the kitchen and even from the bathroom of the Atlantic is simply fantastic. There are many paths along the rocky coast to smaller coves, or to Lomener (bakers, restaurants and Intermarché). The beach of Perello is wonderful for swimming, relaxing, collecting mussels and at low tide there is a lot to discover between the rocks;) This was the perfect place for me to 'recharge batteries' - really a little paradise! Many thanks to Vivi for the extremely flexible check-in and check-out 🤗

A welcoming, pretty, comfortable and very well-equipped house (bedding, cooking utensil and linens), in a lovely port in the Gulf very charming. A place that allowed us to spend a merry Christmas with the family, cocooning, board games, nature, walking, search for shells. 2 minutes walk from the sea, amazing winter mists that fade and change the landscape, starry sky and golden silence of evening walks by the water. Quality food shops in Sarzeau, pretty village. Peace and sweetness of living in December. Recommended!

Our stay on the island of Groix exceeded all our expectations, and this was partly thanks to René and Claudie. The accommodation was simply perfect: a small haven of peace, surrounded by nature. René and Claudie were very attentive throughout the stay, we felt at home. We can only recommend this place, which is conveniently located, well-equipped and maintained by lovely and present owners.

We had a lovely stay. The house is in a great location and very comfortable. Lydia who provides the concierge was very available and provided everything with umbrella beds and high chair for our infants. Please note, however, that there is an additional charge for linens and towels. A big thank you for everything!

The house is very nice, you feel at home right away. Nothing is missing, even if there are a lot of us. The location is ideal because it's in the center of the island and close to the two grocery stores. The exchanges with Mathilde are cordial and her responsiveness is much appreciated.

South Brittany, villa near the beaches

JacquesRating, 5 stars8 months ago

We had a great time at Basilia's place. Ideally located for sightseeing in the area, the accommodation is very functional and everything was done to make our stay enjoyable. The accommodation is very large and we found it very clean. The amenities are very complete for both the interior and the exteriors. We also appreciated the very good communication with Basilia and Christine's availability on site. The welcome and recommendations booklet is extremely well designed. We were touched by the little touches that awaited us upon arrival. Thank you for everything! We highly recommend it. Jacques and family
