The property

Magnificent residence of the XIXth century having belonged to the family of the painter Alfred Marinier. Listed in the heritage of the Breton coast, its neo-gothic, neo-Romanesque styles make it a remarkable architectural building, made of Saint-Cast stones. Entirely renovated inside in the respect of the great volumes of the time but with a modern functionality. You will find there the very warm atmosphere of a family house which will welcome you with its original waxed parquet floors, its large living room with its billiard table and its large fireplace, its more intimate small lounge/library, its large table in the dining room, its perfectly equipped kitchen and its large bedrooms equipped with retro bathrooms. Everything is there, the smells, the materials, the sounds, the style to feel good. It has for vocation to welcome a family reunion, a parenthesis between friends, a place out of time, with WIFI all the same. Its situation, with a panoramic view on the beach, the sea, the countryside, a few steps from the sailing station, you will reach it by a staircase from the property. Close to the shops but far from the noises of the center, close to tennis, golf and horse riding center. In the sunshine, you will have breakfast, lunch or dinner on one of the tables spread out on the terraces around the house. The whole in a 4000 m² park planted with lush vegetation you will enjoy the slightest ray of sunshine, well sheltered on the south-facing sunbathing terrace.
Nobody is disappointed by this rare ensemble.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 4.5 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 6 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed. Housekeeping is available on request.

Wonderful St Cast

We just had a truly wonderful week in St Cast. The house was perfect for our two families with teenage children. The photos on the website don’t do it justice - the views and all the amenities of the house, the beach and the town of St Cast all add up to a fantastic place to vacation. And Gilles, the owner, couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful. Highly recommended.

Beautiful House in a Great Location

Our group of old friends had a great week at this beautiful & characterful house. The spacious house easily accommodated 11 of us. The setting is lovely, with a mature garden, great sea views and a 3 minute stroll to the beach. We especially enjoyed the pool table and petanque piste. The town of St Cast is an easy 15 minute walk away, and there are plenty of great walks and beaches on this stretch of coast. We thoroughly recommend it for larger family or friends gatherings. The owner, Gilles, was friendly and helpful too.

Difficile de savoir par quoi commencer tellement notre séjour a en tous points été formidable. De la communication avec les propriétaires, à l'accueil sur place à notre arrivée, à leur disponibilité et arrangements divers pendant notre séjour pour répondre à nos questions, bref tout a été formidable. Vous aimez les endroits un peu hors du temps, alliant le tout confort (électroménager, literie et équipements) à l'authenticité et l'âme d'une vieille bâtisse, pour vous ressourcer, passer du temps vrai avec votre famille ou vos amis, cet endroit ne pourra que répondre à vos attentes.

Fantastic week at La Bertinière

We had a great week at the house which was really in top condition and showed the care that Gilles and his family have for the the property. There were 12 of us staying from three generations and the house provided ample space for bedrooms and also communal areas, including the large garden. St-Cast is also a lovely town with a nice beach. Gilles the owner was very responsive and it was nice to meet him at the house at the beginning and of our stay. 5 stars from all 12 guests!
