Holiday home in Martillac

Accommodation:
We love that the chic renovations and inviting personal style of this villa also includes a fun, family friendly vibe. Simple country living and tasteful contemporary character make this a great blend.

This renovation makes the best of this early French farmhouse and transforms it with a bright, modern update.

Simple and minimal, the house feels contemporary and artistic while still keeping its country charm. The earthy Travertine floors, whitewashed walls and deep blue colour blocking give it a rustic and modern flair and a neutral base that showcases the eclectic collection of art and mismatched decor and furnishings. Classic and vintage modern silhouettes and pieces take it from plain to chic.

The open plan gourmet kitchen includes state of the art appliances and eat in dining for up to six.

With three AC bedrooms and three baths, the two story house includes one ground floor bedroom that allows for kids and parents or groups to enjoy personal privacy.

The centrepiece of the house is the outdoor pool and gardens that also feature a spacious deck and BBQ area for entertaining and alfresco dining in a vibrant garden setting.
