Houses to rent in Ille-et-Vilaine and apartments to rent in Ille-et-Vilaine are equally popular. I came across a 3 bedroom house to rent in St Briac-sur-Mer. With pink shutters and a beautiful garden, the first thing that will strike you about this property is how pretty it looks. The interior is bright and airy and the three bedrooms are arranged so as to sleep up to 7 people. The property is only 3km from the sea, shops and the town centre.
Ille-et-Vilaine apartments to rent are also popular and I found a stunning apartment to rent in St Malo. It’s a 3 bedroom apartment sleeping up to 6 people, just 50m from the beach. What really caught my eye is that the apartment is based in a beautiful 17th century private mansion, with large rooms and high ceilings. The apartment is very nicely finished and furnished, and oozes calm and tranquillity, yet is so close to the beach.
