Petit Guemene is a stunning example of a renovated cottage with authentic beams and exposed stonewalls, happily filled with full home comforts, loaded brocante charm and a stone-walled outside courtyard. Not a spare, minimalist, rental environment!
This self-catering cottage is central to Guemene Sur Scorff, a town full of ancient Breton history, and located in the southern province of Morbihan, the warmest part of Brittany.
Surrounded by the classified villages of the historic Pays de Roi Morvan, the ancient kingdom of the Breton kings, there is so much to explore: amazing 13th and 14th century churches, weekly village markets, restaurants and creperies, convenient banks and supermarkets on your doorstep.
And, only a short 45 minute drive, gives you access to glorious beaches, oyster farms, coastal hiking pathways and artist-loved seaside villages.
Petit Guemene offers the best of both worlds…positioned midst authentic ancient towns, and with easy access to the coast. Holiday activities are beyond numerous!
