Medoc Tiny House

Not the most beautiful street in town for this laid-back summer beach pad, but don’t be put off – once you’re in it’s fine. It’s an unusual layout: the tiny house is one large room with a double bed, little kitchenette (microwave, small fridge, air fryer) table and chairs, a separate double bedroom and bathroom with bath and shower over.

Then it’s out onto the patio for a rainwater dip pool, barbecue and sink, steps up to a flat roof for sunbathing and the annexe. Here you’ll find the sitting room with comfy seating, pretty fabrics and another double with bathroom (again a bath with shower over). Art is original, furniture is fine.

Prepare simple lunches in the kitchenette or sizzle something on the barbecue – at night fairly lights will glitter. Spend long sandy days on the delightful beaches, cycle along quiet paths through pine forest, visit the food shops and market of bustling Montalivet and bring your spoils home.
