About this property
Maison Solaris is a beautifully restored former wine-maker’s home in the heart of Magalas. This traditional Languedoc village house exudes character, with colourful vintage tiles, original beams and sunny perched terraces that open onto captivating views of the surrounding countryside.
Inside, four ensuite bedrooms offer comfort and privacy for up to eight guests, blending southern French charm with thoughtful modern touches. Each space feels welcoming and personal, from the soft linen tones to the locally inspired décor. The open-plan living and dining room lead to the raised terrace, where al-fresco meals are framed by wide skies and beautiful vistas.
Outside, the experience unfolds slowly and indulgently. The private pool, with its gently sloped paddling area for children, invites slow afternoons under the sun on the lower garden level. A delightful summer kitchen, complete with a bar, hob and dishwasher, makes al-fresco dining a social affair. Gather around the shaded table, pour a glass of chilled rosé and enjoy a meal prepared on one of the two Weber barbecues. Afterward, test your skills at boules, darts or table tennis, or simply sit back and take in the view.
Maison Solaris sits just a one-minute stroll from the village centre of Magalas, where a café-bar, bakery and restaurant offer a taste of local life. A larger supermarket and wine cave on the village edge make stocking up effortless. The golden beaches of the Mediterranean are a short 30-minute drive, while inland, scenic drives lead through vineyards and sleepy hamlets rich in Southern French charm.
Maison Solaris promises a relaxed and authentically French escape, where simple pleasures are savoured and time slows to the rhythm of the south.
In the medieval hilltop village of Magalas, Maison Solaris offers a wonderful blend of charm, culture and convenience, perfect for visiting historic towns, traditional wine villages, vineyards and Mediterranean beaches. Béziers Cap d'Agde Airport is less than half an hour away.
In a perched position on a traditional narrow road, it’s a short walk to the historic centre of Magalas and the village church, less than 300m away. Magalas is home to a good range of amenities including a café-bar, restaurant, bakery, pharmacy and grocery store all just a minute’s stroll away. The outskirts of Magalas offer even more, including a large supermarket, local wine cave, petrol station and casual pizzeria.
Venture just 30 minutes south and you'll reach Mediterranean coastline, stretching from the laid-back shores of Sérignan Plage (30km) to the lively beaches and family attractions of Cap d’Agde (40km).
Nearby Béziers (16km) is a delight for shoppers and foodies alike, its elegant boulevards lined with boutiques, restaurants and cafés as well as a charming flower market. From Béziers, the Canal du Midi invites lazy days of cycling or boating, while Pézenas (20km) enchants with its cobbled streets, art galleries and famous Saturday morning market. Wine lovers will be in their element, with countless vineyards and characterful villages such as Faugères and Saint-Chinian dotted throughout the region.
The seafood haven of Étang de Thau and its oyster beds offer a real taste of coastal Languedoc, with harbour-side dining in Bouzigues and Mèze, both around 45 minutes by car. Meanwhile, day trips beckon to the artistic port town of Sète (55km), the dynamic city of Montpellier (81km) and the unesco-listed citadel of Carcassonne (93km). Further afield, Provence and the Camargue are also within reach.
Maison Solaris in Magalas is a wonderfully connected base from which to explore the very best of southern France.
