Résidence Odalys Horizon Morgat

Résidence Odalys Horizon Morgat Overview

Look, I’ve stayed at plenty of apartment-style places along the Brittany coast, but the Résidence Odalys Horizon Morgat honestly surprised me in the best way. First thing you notice pulling up to Penfrat – and yeah, you’ll definitely need a car for this one – is how they’ve managed to tuck this place into the landscape without it feeling like some concrete eyesore. The buildings actually blend with the rugged coastline pretty nicely, which matters when you’re in an area this stunning.

What I really appreciate about this spot is that it gets the balance right between being close enough to Morgat’s action but far enough out that you’re not dealing with the summer crowds stumbling past your window at midnight. The apartments themselves are solid – I mean, we’re talking 3-star territory here, so don’t expect marble countertops, but everything works and it’s clean. The kitchenettes are actually usable (unlike some places where they give you two burners and call it cooking), and honestly, you’ll want to use them because grabbing fresh seafood from the Crozon market and cooking it while looking out at the peninsula… that’s the real deal right there. The balconies vary depending on which unit you get, but even the less spectacular ones give you enough outdoor space to have your morning coffee and figure out your day.

Here’s what the booking sites don’t tell you – the real magic happens when you step outside. You’re literally a short walk from some of the most dramatic coastal paths in Finistère, and I’m talking about trails that lead to viewpoints most tourists never find because they stick to the main Morgat beach. The GR34 coastal path basically runs past your doorstep, which means you can be hiking along those incredible cliffs overlooking the Mer d’Iroise before most people have finished breakfast. And when you do want to hit the main beach or grab dinner in Morgat proper, it’s maybe a 10-minute drive down winding roads that honestly feel like part of the experience. The staff runs things pretty smoothly – check-in was straightforward, parking’s included (which you absolutely need out here), and they’re helpful with local recommendations without being pushy about it. Sure, it’s not going to win any luxury awards, and the WiFi can be a bit temperamental when the weather gets rough, but that 7.4 rating feels about right. It’s the kind of place that works really well if you want to actually explore this part of Brittany rather than just lounging around a hotel all day.
