Villa on the heights of Gwendrez, Audierne Bay

Perched on the heights of Gwendrez, this renovated villa looks out over the full sweep of Audierne Bay. You'll also find a view towards a small woodland sheltering a 16th-century chapel. The sauna gives you somewhere to unwind after a day out on the Cap-Sizun coast.

The interior has been renovated and decorated with care throughout. The rooms are finished with a tasteful eye, and the overall feel is welcoming without being fussy. Whether you're settling in for the evening or spreading out for the week, the space holds its own.

The villa sits surrounded by nature, with Gwendrez beach and the GR34 coastal path around ten minutes on foot. You can watch both sunrise and sunset from the property, and the setting makes it a natural base for walking along the cliffs and shoreline.

The Pointe du Raz, a classified grand site de France, and the Baie des Trépassés are both within reach, as is Île de Sein after a ferry crossing. Pont-Croix, a medieval village, and the ports of Audierne and Penhors are nearby. Quimper, with its cathedral and cobbled streets, is further afield for a day out.
