Roscoff's reputation as a ferry port is well-known but it's a town where many tourists are now choosing to stop and explore rather than drive on through to a distant destination. And this modern villa in a quiet, residential neighbourhood is a great place to call home during your stay, with crisp, contemporary lines and smart styling. Built for easy indoor-outdoor living, in summer its terrace is a perfect sun trap, with a covered outdoor eating area, barbecue and sun loungers. And of course, there's the added bonus of a heated private pool.

Inside, it's minimal, bright and family-friendly, with a sociable layout and a big kitchen with everything you'll need for cooking at home. Throughout the ground floor, black-framed sliding doors can open the villa right up to the terrace, and at night you can close the blinds at the touch of a button. Best of all, thanks to its four big bedrooms, there's room here for a group of friends or a couple of families sharing – the kids will love the double bunk room.

Just a short walk from the town's shops, restaurants and other amenities, you'll also be within easy reach of Roc'h Kroum beach with the city of Brest around an hour's drive away.
