We had the pleasure of calling this delightful little apartment home for four nights in June. This apartment really stands out as a TRUE 5 star accommodation. The difference between a four and five star review for us is the attention to detail that you see when you walk into your rental and it immediately stops feeling like a rental and becomes a home. Some places have been cleaned but are not clean - for those neatniks out there, you understand what we mean. This apartment was spotlessly clean - every major surface, but also all the small things (insides of drawers, utensils, pots, fridge, etc. ). It truly felt brand new, and we know from experience in renting holiday homes, that is because the owners create an oasis that they themselves would like to visit. The furnishings are up to date, well cared for, and comfortable. The linens are all high quality; there are simple conveniences provided (soap for the kitchen and bath, multiple rolls of toilet paper, laundry supplies, starter pods for coffee, a bottle of wine, etc.) that make a huge difference, especially for people traveling from the US, since we don't have the space to cram those types of things in our luggage. The decor was just right, enough to make it feel like you were visiting a home, not a rental. Fantastic job on putting it all together and sharing it, Paula!
Speaking of Paula, the wonderful owner, she's great. Communication was effortless and expedient. Everything was explained very well and that made booking and check-in/out a breeze.
The area on the port is so pretty and peaceful. The views from the big windows are lovely - you are literally sitting above the town watching the life go by. It is great! The restaurants down below are fun and delicious. Our favorite was Chez Bongrain. See my review on Yelp and go get a delicious meal with fantastic service!
We walked up to the main town several times. It is up hill but so charming you barely notice! We were there on a market day, highly recommended for dinner ingredients - which we cooked up in the apartment's darling, clean, and well equipped kitchen.
It was our first visit to Brittany, and we had fun just getting in the car and exploring. The beaches were amazing and empty! We were in the area between Cap Frehel and Cap d' Erquy - lovely beaches! Go explore!
We hope to come back some day to enjoy this little treasure of an apartment! Thanks Paula!
