Beach house with 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in Locquirec, France

From €2,890 per week

Incredible former sea captains’ house with direct access to a sandy beach, panoramic sea views and within walking distance of the small seaside resort of Locquirec.

Overview

Situated on a headland with panoramic sea views, this imposing former sea captains’ house has direct access to a sandy beach and is within walking distance of Locquirec, a small and attractive fishing village. Built towards the end of the 18th Century this magnificent property is situated between the Pink Granite Coast and the Cote Sauvage on a beautiful and dramatic stretch of the north Brittany coastline, 45 minutes’ drive from Roscoff and two hours from St Malo.

This fantastic Breton house is set within partially enclosed grounds and just 150m from a wide sandy beach when the tide is out and about 20m at high tide. There are plenty of other beaches to explore including secluded coves accessible via the impressive coastal path.

Just a stone's throw away is the small seaside resort and fishing port of Locquirec, a traditional Breton village based around its harbour, with creperies, restaurants and art gallery on the seafront. The historic market towns of Morlaix and Lannion are within 30 minutes’ drive. A little further afield, the Pink Granite Coast is an incredible 30 km stretch of coastline with a beguiling mix of pink tinged rocks, turquoise sea and white sandy beaches. To the west can be found the fascinating Abers, the Breton fjords, deep channels in the landscape that are ever-changing according to the tide.

We had a great time in Locquirec. The villa is a castel, even nicer as on the internet displayed. And the view is breathtaking. Everything was in perfect order, we enjoyed our holiday very much. The key holder gave as a very warm welcome and showed the house. She is a very kind person a did a great job, gave us some local information as well. Thank you for your service, your communication. Everything was well organised. We had a perfect holiday at Villa Kastell. We are already looking forward for the next time at Villa Kastell!

We had a great stay at Villa Kastell. it was all it was represented to be, and we tried to be respectful of the property. Thank you very much.

Mr David Beaumont Jun 2017

We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Kastell. The house is in a unique position over the rocks, secluded yet only a few minutes walk from the village, and has a magnificent view over the sea. The house itself is spacious and characterful, and furnished to a high standard. We loved Locquirec, which is in a beautiful location and pleasantly quiet at this time of year, with several good coastal walks nearby. Mme Vachet and her colleagues were very friendly and helpful, and went out of their way to give us some flexibility in arrival and departure times. We’re very happy with the service from Select Villas – thank you for all your help. Please pass on our thanks to Mme Vachet and her colleagues, and to the owners for whom this house has clearly been a labour of love. We hope to return for another stay!

"Beautiful house, tastefully decorated. Exceptional site. Heart warming welcome. One to recommend."

To awaken every morning overlooking the sea was especially pleasing and the site of the dramatic waves will stay etched in our memory for a long time to come.

Agency From Kendal, United Kingdom Member since Sep 2015

I was born and brought up in Nice and spent most of my holiday youth in Provence, Aquitaine and Brittany. This has helped tremendously understand what is important about each region of France, what makes a property special and how best to promote it. If a property makes it to our range it simply means that the background work and checks have been carried out and that I am happy to send clients there. As a matter of fact I have holidayed in many of our villas of the years! Having worked in the holiday rental sector for twenty years for Tour Operators and Travel Agencies including French Life Holidays, Rent Villas France and for the last seven years at Select Villas this has allowed me to gain a great deal of experience and knowledge in the wonderful world of holiday property letting across France. I understand how important client's holidays are and this is why I want to ensure that all villas in our range are visited either by myself or by one of the trusted local agents we work with. Clients can therefore book their holiday with peace of mind knowing that the property they will stay in has been vetted, that they can book with confidence and enjoy their special time in France.
