About this property
On the edge of the celebrated wine village of Fitou, Villa Corbières offers a contemporary holiday home just a short drive from the Languedoc coast. Spread over two storeys, this attractive home is designed for comfort in every season, with full air-conditioning and high-quality finishes throughout. The elevated terraces command lovely views across the village, its historic château and the glimmering Mediterranean beyond.
The interiors are open and inviting, with a generous living area leading to the garden terrace and the private heated pool. Five stylish bedrooms (three doubles and two twins) and four bathrooms ensure ample space for families or groups, whether you gather for long dinners on the covered dining terrace or steal a quiet moment with a book in the garden.
Outside, Mediterranean planting frames the turquoise waters of the pool, where Roman steps invite you for a morning swim. The sun terrace is perfect for soaking up the warmth, while the barbecue area sets the scene for evenings under a soft pink sky.
Set in a residential area, Villa Corbières is just a ten-minute walk from Fitou’s centre, where narrow lanes lead to wine cellars, traditional restaurants and a bakery that tempts with the scent of fresh bread. This historic village, almost equidistant between Perpignan and Narbonne, is famed for its rich red wines and warm local welcome.
The beaches of La Franqui and Leucate are only ten minutes away, offering golden sands and world-class windsurfing. The surrounding region is a treasure trove of discovery, from oyster shacks by the lagoon to the Cathar castle trail further afield, the bustling markets of Narbonne and even a day trip into Spain.
Whether you dream of languid afternoons by the pool, coastal adventures or tasting fantastic southern French cuisine and wine, Villa Corbières promises it all.
Located in a residential area just a ten-minute stroll from the heart of the village, Villa Corbières offers the perfect gateway to the treasures of southern France. Fitou itself is a picturesque gem, nestled in a sheltered valley between the Mediterranean Sea and the rugged Corbières hills. World-renowned for its rich, full-bodied AOC red wine, this historic wine-producing village tempts visitors with welcoming cafés, traditional restaurants and wine cellars where you can sample the region’s finest vintages.
Within a short drive, you can reach some of the Mediterranean’s most celebrated beaches, including the golden stretches of Plage Les Coussoules and Leucate Plage. The coastline here is a hotspot for windsurfing, kitesurfing and paddleboarding, while seafood lovers will delight in the nearby oyster shacks that serve freshly shucked delicacies straight from the lagoon. Further south, Canet-en-Roussillon offers a vibrant promenade, beach bars and a lively summer atmosphere, ideal for an evening stroll.
This wider region is home to the legendary Cathar castles route, where dramatic fortresses such as Peyrepertuse and Quéribus stand guard over the hillsides, telling tales of a turbulent medieval past (both around an hour away). Meanwhile, wine tasting is a way of life here, with countless vineyards offering tours and tastings, each with their own unique terroir.
For a more urban experience, the charming cities of Narbonne and Perpignan are within easy reach, offering bustling markets, historic architecture and cultural events. You may also be drawn to the fairy-tale citadel of Carcassonne, the artistic coastal town of Collioure near the Spanish border or the laid-back seaside vibe of Argelès-sur-Mer, all wonderful day trips from Fitou.
From mountain walks to Mediterranean golf courses, this sun-kissed corner of France promises adventure, culture and relaxation in equal measure.
