And with our villas available in a range of styles and sizes, you can find the perfect base from which to explore this captivating corner of France.
Our villas cater for all types of holidays including those wanting access to the beach, ski resort or city break.
Morlaix is a lovely destination to visit throughout the year, but the best time to go for a villa holiday depends on your preferences and what you're looking for. If you're a fan of warmer weather, summer (June to August) is the peak tourist season in Morlaix, with average highs reaching 22°C (72°F). This is an ideal time to enjoy the beach, swimming, and outdoor activities like kayaking or sailing on the coast. However, it's also the busiest time of year, so if you're looking for a more relaxed atmosphere, consider visiting during the spring (April to May) or autumn (September to October), when the temperatures are mild (15-20°C / 59-68°F) and the crowds are smaller.
If you're interested in experiencing Morlaix's wilder side, winter is a great time to visit for nature lovers. The area becomes a haven for birdwatchers, with many species of birds migrating through or residing in the region during this time. You can also enjoy hiking, cycling, and horse riding on the scenic trails and paths that crisscross the countryside and coastline. Keep in mind that some local businesses and attractions may be closed or have reduced hours during the winter months, so it's a good idea to check ahead of time if you're planning to visit during this period.
When it comes to choosing where to stay in Morlaix for your villa holiday, there's no shortage of options. If you're looking for a lively atmosphere and easy access to the town's amenities, consider staying in the historic centre itself. Our villas here are often located in converted barns or cottages, with exposed stone walls and beamed ceilings adding to their charm. From these central locations, you can stroll out into the narrow streets and explore the local cafes, shops, and markets.
Alternatively, if you're looking for a more relaxed pace of life, consider staying in one of Morlaix's quieter districts, such as Sainte-Marie or Le Pommel. Our villas here are often situated in peaceful gardens or surrounded by rolling hills, offering a tranquil base from which to explore the surrounding countryside and coastline. Some areas also offer better value for money than others, so it's worth doing your research to find the perfect balance of location and budget.
