The Experience

On a small side road that winds along the coastline, surrounded by huge old cypresses and pines, the villa faces west overlooking the lovely Sables Blancs beach: a five-minute walk and perfect at low tide. The garden is more English than French, the climate is warm – roses and lilies grow in profusion. On the lower ground floor, this pair of gîtes have French doors opening onto their own terraces and the ever-changing moods of a vast Breton sea panorama. The grey leather sofas are comfortable, the tiled floors are ideal for beach-sandy feet, and a cot and high chair are available. Bedrooms are colourful and inviting, with lace curtains for privacy; fresh and sparkling bathrooms have good showers. Well-equipped kitchens have cheerful, pretty china, and modern comforts include central heating and WiFi. In the villa above lives the owner: friendly, well-travelled and happy to advise. The charming seaside village rejoices in an excellent brasserie as well as several restaurants, a weekly market and concerts in the local church.

Reviews

Our correspondence with Ann Lyn was excellent prior to arrival with good direction details. Villa Germiny did not disappoint our apartment was warm cosy with glorious views and walking distance to the sea. A local well stocked shop /restaurants within walking distance and large supermarket 10 minutes drive away. The area is perfect for coastal walking and lots of interesting places to visit 1 week was not long enough, we have already booked a 3 week stay next year. Ann Lyn made us very welcome and we very much enjoyed our daily chats.

Maureen, Manchester

St Germiny Villa is set in a stunning garden with trees and colourful borders. Glorious Sea views from the terrace, especially at sunset. Perfect. The beds were very comfortable, the lounge just right for relaxing and reading a book. We cycled and walked to restaurants, the town and beaches. An unspoilt and quiet part of Brittany. We spent a week, and could easily have stayed longer. Anne is a friendly and gracious host, and we hope to return one day to soak up the sea views and coastal flower garden. Bliss. Thank you Ann and Poustache for sharing your little bit of paradise.

Jane, Long Sutton

We spent three restful days based at Ann Lyn's two-bedroom garden-level flat. The view from the living room and terrace is everything the pictures promise, the large garden beautifully kept, the kitchen well equipped, the bathroom modern and the bedding very comfortable. You can walk for miles along the scenic, unspoilt coast on the GR34 hiking route (Sentier des Douaniers), starting from the house. The laid-back surfing-club café Millin and the charming café/bookshop Caplan & Co are both within easy walking distance heading west. Ann Lyn was the perfect host and made us feel very welcome.

Alexandra, St Maur des Fosses

We rented both flats. One for our son's family with two little children and we, the grandparents had the smaller one. Our stay was brilliant. The weather was boiling, and we were only a 3 minute walk from the beach. The large partly shaded garden had wonderful views overlooking the sea and the village with plenty of restaurants was a 15 minute walk away. Ann Lynn was very helpful and welcoming and both apartments were very well equipped and comfortable.

Sarah and David, Wimborne Dorset,

We stayed here at Villa Germiny in June in the one bed roomed gite. We loved it. The view from the terrace was the best we've had in a gite. Watching sunsets and the tides ebbing and flowing, listening to the birds in the peaceful garden and a 5 minute walk to the beach or coast path or walking into town in 15 minutes. The website pictures didn't do justice to the inside of the property. The shower was great and the kitchen very well equipped. Ann Lynn was a thoughtful host. If the weather had been warmer, the week would have been perfect.

Gill, London

Just back from a wonderful break in the very comfortable Villa Germiny, with panoramic views of the sea and less than 5 minutes walk from a blissful stretch of white sandy beach. The owner was exceptionally welcoming and helpful and we had everything we needed to hand, including a surf school, local shops and several good restaurants in the idyllic town of Locquirec, a short walk from the gite. My only criticism was the somewhat variable weather, wish we could come back in May or June when the sunshine is likely to be more assured!

Cindy, London

Such a beautiful setting,a view that is unbelievable beautiful a wonderful start to every morning,very well equipped and comfortable gite all you need for a fantastic holiday with a lovely host. Can highly recommend

Elaine, Sible Hedingham

This was a little dream come true!What a perfect place in a wonderful bay in the lovely Brittany. We stayed with our family with 3 children and visited several places and spend a lovely week and we will definitely come back. The house is very complete and spacious.The beds are comfortable and everything is very clean! The view is the best there is. Thank you very much!!!!

Philip and Annemarie, Amsterdam

At Villa Germiny the reality is even better than the photos/description; YES the views and the garden are really magnificent, but the ceilings indoor stated to be low (which nearly put us off as we know cottages) are sure not low/are no problem whatsoever. Furthermore the rooms are spacious and all what one could possibly need is there. We stayed in the larger appartment for 2 weeks in July'17, and as we liked it so much, we went back for another week in September'17. Definetely worthwhile visiting ! Many thanks Ann Lyn for being the perfect host, Erik & Daniela from Netherlands & Austria.

Erik, Bavel

This was such a lovely place to stay. The gite was very comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean with a beautiful garden. The view was gorgeous, the beach itself just a short stroll down the lane. The owner is delightful, a mine of useful information and very attentive and helpful. This is one of the best places we've ever stayed in and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Sian, Sheffield

A first trip to Brittany with my dog, we stayed in the one bed gite at Villa Germiny. The gite was to a high standard, spotlessly clean, so comfortable and had everything we needed including a fantastic patio area and just a very short stroll down to the beautiful Plage Des Sables Blanc where we were lucky enough to watch the sun set every evening on account of the beautiful weather. Ann was a wonderful host, full of information and great tips on where to find things locally. Locquirec itself is an absolute delight. All in all a wonderful place to unwind, relax and enjoy! Five stars!

Verity, Tunbridge Wells

We stayed at the newly redecorated and refurbished 1 bedroom gite ( and Anne generously showed us around the equally impressively refurbished 2 bedroomed one) for 12 nights and could have easily stayed for the month. The gite was perfect - wonderfully equipped and extremely comfortable. the new bathrooms were fab, with amazing showers. Anne was a really warm and available host and a great source of information.The house has a beautiful garden, really restful with the sound of the sea a constant. A great base for touring along the coast and inland. On our return to list.

David

A beautiful location, facing the sea and literally 5 minutes walk to the secluded beach. The gites is very well equipped with lots of useful information. The hostess was particularly helpful, seeing to our every need and, friendly, and our wish was her command. A really lovely lady.
