With its indoor pool, hot tub, sauna and games room – and sandy beaches nearby – it offers the perfect location for a seaside holiday at any time of the year.
Villa du Port is hidden away down small country lanes close to the River Laita, along a stretch that is a sheltered inlet offering anchorage. Here, riverside paths lead through the woods to eventually reach the port and small seaside resort of Le Pouldu (4 km by road) with its several sandy coves.
Just a few kilometres further up the coast is the unspoilt fishing port of Doelan, now famous across France. This quiet haven with just a few quayside restaurants, bars and cafes was the location for the hit French TV version of Doc Martin (with the same title as the original UK series).
Just across the river at Guidel (but 13 km by road) the beaches stretch out along the flatter coastline as far as Larmor Plage and the entrance to the natural harbour of Lorient.
The villa is arranged on split levels, however the heart of the property is without doubt the spacious dining room with large table plus a coffee table and occasional chairs. The room overlooks the indoor pool and French windows open onto the front and side terraces.
Outside the sizeable, mature garden, including a small orchard, offers a good deal of privacy as well as plenty of space for children to play and ample shade for those who prefer to enjoy dappled sunshine whilst relaxing on a lazy afternoon. An ideal Brittany villa holiday!

What our guests say….
“This is a really good size house with an enormous garden with adjoining orchard. The grandchildren really enjoyed making the most of the space in which to play and let off steam. The house itself is spacious, although the kitchen is relatively small. There is a generous sized dining area with a view of the pool. The pool is easy to keep safe as there is a lockable door to gain access. Lots of good places are within easy reach by car or bike and you can walk to Le Pouldu along a pleasant path. All in all a great Brittany villa holiday ”
