There's something truly magical about this home's location in the listed Occitane village of Laurac. As well as being so isolated as to bring a pleasing sense of tranquillity, the hilltop position means that there are lovely views of verdant countryside from the terraces.

Speaking of which, the address benefits from two such standout outdoor spaces. On the second floor, glass doors open out to an alfresco dining area complete with a barbecue and a glorious panorama, while back down at the ground and thirty metres' walk from the home, there's a secret garden with a swimming pool surrounded by vegetation.

It's plain to see that a big chunk of your time here is going to be spent out in the open air, but you'll also be happy to hear that the interior doesn't disappoint when you finally retreat indoors. There's a rustic feel to the design, with large ceiling beams sitting above a traditional fireplace and smart wooden floors. That being said, it doesn't feel dated in the slightest – the kitchen is a modern update on the country-style quarters found in many of the region's properties.

When it comes to filling up an itinerary, the rural surroundings and wealth of routes can be explored on foot or horseback, or by bike or kayak. The medieval architecture in the town of Carcassonne only takes thirty-five minutes to reach in the car, too.

Nice to haves

Anyone who thinks large homes lack personality clearly never visited Form Over Function. This immense castle may have nine bedrooms and a four-hectare estate, but it retains its 13th-century character (along with corresponding low doorways). Originally built by a Cathar Lord, it’s now owned by a sculptor whose work is scattered across the grounds. The 86-square-metre Knights’ Hall with library was made for banquets, so bring your best mead and tuck into a mediaeval meal you’ll never forget. There’s also a separate 4-bedroom cottage on the grounds, which can be hired for an additional fee.

Form over Function

As featured on Channel 4’s ‘Escape to the Chateau: DIY', this 19th-century abode is situated in the French countryside between Toulouse and Carcassonne – an ideal location for exploring these grand cities. Its historic interiors have been beautifully restored and paired with modern amenities, including an orangery with a pool table, private bar, outdoor terraces, and five sumptuously appointed bedrooms. Five bikes are provided if you wish to cycle to the nearby 14th-century village, where you’ll find a wealth of history and culture. With 1.5 hectares of lush gardens to explore, this historic home is a departure from the ordinary and offers a truly unique stay.

Whether you're planning a family reunion, a getaway with your best friends, or a wellness escape to the French countryside, this mansion house is the ideal setting for a lavish trip. Dating back to the 18th century but with plenty of modern comforts, it provides a grand setting for a stay to remember. 

Walking up the stone staircase to the entrance, you'll feel like the lord or lady of the manor. Inside, each room is brimming with history – from the oil paintings to the collection of antique furniture, it's a truly opulent space. Fitness fans can play a game of tennis on the court or organise a workout class in the gym, before plunging into the outdoor swimming pool for a refreshing dip. If you prefer a slower pace, you can wander through twenty acres of parkland, then sweat out your stresses in the sauna or treat yourself to a long soak in the Jacuzzi. And, at the end of the day, the whole group can come together for a decadent meal in the formal dining room – don't forget some local wine too. 

The Natural Regional Park of the Ariège Pyrénées is right on your doorstep, and you can explore the landscapes on foot or on two wheels – your host will even provide eight bicycles. History fans can take their pick from several medieval towns and villages nearby, including Foix, which is a twenty-minute drive away. And, if you want to practice your golf swing, then the nearest course is just five minutes away by car.

Secluded in the French countryside, this beautifully restored villa is the perfect getaway for large groups. The traditional Provencal interior brings no shortage of space and comfort and the villa stands on 650 acres of land, giving way to olive groves and fruit trees as far as the eye can see. Eight bedrooms are within the main house, and a further three are situated in the separate cottage, known as the 'Bergerie', where you'll also find a separate kitchen - great for inter-generational groups or those wanting more privacy from the main house. The kids will love the private pool, and grown-ups can take advantage of the poolhouse seating whilst supervising. Location-wise, you can venture to the coast on a day trip or visit the medieval Carcassonne, only a fifteen-minute drive away.

This homey little apartment is located at the foot of the Andorran mountains, just a couple of minutes from the cable car up to the Grandvalira ski resort. If you're a family with children looking for the best place to enjoy winter sports or stunning alpine scenery in summer, you've found the perfect place. With cosy bunk beds, wooden furniture, and sofas you can sink right into, you'll be able to enjoy tranquillity as you rekindle your connection to the outside world, no matter what time of year you're travelling. Whip up some escudella for dinner in the well-equipped kitchen, or make yourself a morning coffee to drink out on one of the two balconies that overlook the town and the surrounding mountain landscape.

If you're not heading up to the ski resort, you can drive into the centre of Andorra la Vella for some retail therapy or grab a bite at one of the local restaurants. Nature lovers will appreciate heading up to the Quer viewpoint or the Tibetan bridge for breathtaking views. Those looking to practice sporting activities or get in a workout can take advantage of the gym, ice rink and swimming pool in the nearby Ice Palace leisure centre. Whether you're sitting at the desk in the bedroom and getting some work done remote, or lighting the fireplace to heat everyone through after a day of skiing and snowball fights, this home is the perfect place from which to enjoy a break from your day-to-day.

Andorran Fairytale

Underfloor Heating

Your spirits are quickly elevated as you weave your way through beautiful, patchwork hills at the foot of the spectacular Pyrénées mountains. Then, as you approach the little agricultural village, a lovely country road rolls over a hill and comes to the entrance, you begin your journey down the long, private drive. Nothing prepares you for the first glimpse of this enchanting château. The estate consists of a magnificent 19th-century château, an adjoining 16th-century farm, two separate cottages, and a magnificent 12th-century chapel, making it a historical treat.

Spend your days gazing out the balcony at the 360-degree views of stunning countryside and the Pyrénées beyond, and even get a cup of coffee to get your day started perfectly. This home has an abundance of options for keeping you entertained throughout your stay, from racing down the zip line for an adrenaline rush to boating along the little lake for a relaxing day drifting along, lured by your favourite book. Back at the house, enlist the assistance of a private chef to enjoy alfresco meals as glasses are raised and jokes abound.

It is absolutely tranquil to be placed in six hectares of private gardens, yet you get the best of all worlds since numerous places are only a short drive away. Pamiers is only a fifteen-minute drive away, and you must visit the vibrant Saturday market before stopping at a bakery for scrummy delicacies.

Not far from the Spanish border you’ll find Perpignan, a classified City of Art and History – thanks to its roots as a former Majorcan capital – and home to this eclectic apartment. It’s only fitting that the bold interior echoes elements of both Spanish and French flair as an ode to its surroundings. The result is a vibrant space that honours natural wood and rattan but also puts more opulent touches front and centre. 

Spend your time here unwinding with an early-morning coffee on the balcony or by reading on the sunny sofa. Gather around the kitchen island after lunch to pour the wine, snacking as you chat. 

When you wander out, you’ll find Spanish influences in the Cathedral of Saint-Jean-Baptiste and the majestic promenade des Platanes. Take holiday photos in front of the many ancient buildings and sit down to eat at one of the local restaurants or cafes. Head to the beach – Plage du Lido lies at the other end of a short drive, or tee off at Golf de Saint-Cyprien.

Get away from the everyday with a breathtaking getaway to this stunning villa. Based in the South of France, just a short drive from the picturesque city of Toulouse, this recently renovated gîte was originally built back in 1880, and so has a beautiful blend of the old and new. Exposed beams and cobblestone walls are paired with modern Scandi-style furniture, to create a unique and charming home that you'll want to return to time and time again.

Begin each day with a swing in the hanging egg chairs while you sip on a cappucino. Then, as the sun gets higher and the temperature rises, cool off in your stunning outdoor pool, or enjoy a spot of sunbathing on one of the poolside loungers. Grill up some French meats on your barbecue and tuck in at your shaded outdoor dining set. In the evenings, sit out on your outdoor lounge area with a sundowner, or cosy up with the TV and a movie.

Being located in the French countryside, you'll have many country rambles right on your doorstep, or venture further out with a drive to nearby Toulouse to explore museums, shops and restaurants.

A Modern Classic

Herb Garden

Nestled amongst the Mediterranean woodland, this former 13th-century farmhouse is located between the foothills of the Pyrenees and the Spanish border. The well-designed interiors reflect the Catalan heritage, and the building benefits from ground-floor bedrooms and en-suites. Outside living is where this home shines – whether you want to unwind by the swimming pool, explore the gardens or enjoy a glass of Byrrh, a local aperitif on the terrace. The location suits those eager to explore the woodland, but the beaches aren't too far away either. 

Pyrenees Spirit 

Indulge yourself at this 12th-century dog-friendly chateau in Languedoc. This idyllic spot is great for weddings and big family holidays alike, and while the traditional decor won't be for everyone, there's plenty of space for relaxation and entertainment both inside and out. The private pool is heated for free in the summer months, and the wine cellar is fit for a sommelier. For an extra touch of luxury, your host can help arrange services like a private chef or housekeeping, so you won't need to lift a finger. The rural location means you'll want a car here – you'll find medieval towns and villages dotted about the surrounding countryside, ideal for some unforgettable day trips.

Bougainvilliers

This incredible French home and its surroundings are a riot for the senses. See the sun set against the rolling green hills, hear the breeze through the olive trees, smell the wild lavender and thyme in the air, taste the fine wines from the vineyards nearby, and touch the antique treasures found inside. With over 600 acres of stunning private land, including a lake, streams, woodland, hills and two grazing horses, there’s no need to leave The Sommelier. But if you tire of lounging by the pool or having candle-lit dinners, the surrounding countryside is a paradise for hikers, horse-riders and cyclists.

The Sommelier

Sitting on a pretty Provencal hilltop, this chateau doesn't waste this prime location. Step behind the formidable stone walls – some of which date back to the 12th century – and you're greeted with expansive rooms packed full of luxurious touches.

The arched windows and glass doors at the end of the open living room are nothing but generous when it comes to natural light, making for a lovely space in which to dine or lounge. Upstairs, the bedrooms and bathrooms are similarly lavish, especially the teak-wood four-poster beds and bathtub overlooking the outdoor space.

Speaking of which, the alfresco space at the address is pretty special, too. Overlooked by 800-year-old gargoyles, there's a small swimming pool lent a little tropicality from the neighbouring palm trees. The built-in charcoal barbecue makes it easy to whip up feasts in the summer months, as well.

When it comes to getting to know this famous region a little better, the local village of Aragon can be reached easily on foot and has some renowned restaurants for you to enjoy. To help you work up an appetite, there are lots of walking routes and outdoor activities to undertake in the nearby national parks, while La Franqui beach is only 65km away, too.

A Provençal Proverb

Small but mighty and offering many of the mod-cons that you could need for a quiet, restful stay in Les Angles – a picturesque part of the sweeping Pyrénées-Orientales mountain range offering walking and biking trails in the summer, and excellent skiing opportunities in winter – this compact, timber-clad holiday apartment reminds us of a cosy bird's nest tucked away in the area's hilly landscape. 

Whilst the wood-panelled double bedroom is brought to life with quirky design touches and exudes a uniquely alpine charm, the kitchen/living area provides the perfect place to join as a group and spend some quality time together. Indeed, the close quarters, unfussy interior, and lack of extravagant amenities mean that this home is all about two simple pleasures – reconnecting with loved ones and realigning yourself with nature.

Amble through the town of Les Angles, stopping for a bite in one of its authentic restaurants – which, thanks to its positioning close to the border, consists of a delicious blend of French and Spanish flavours packed into hearty fare for mountainous terrain. Or, why not treat yourself to an afternoon at the Angléo Spa, just 600 metres away from the apartment? 

If you fancy getting out of town and into some of the spectacular scenery that surrounds you, then take the journey of just under four kilometres to the beautiful Lake Matemale – which is known for its range of summertime watersports as well as fantastic hiking around its perimeter.

The Finch's Nest

Yes, this home in the middle of the Tarn countryside dates back to the 19th century and is surrounded by 32 hectares of idyllic meadows, but this isn't the rustic getaway you might assume from first impression. How could it be so when the list of amenities at guests' disposal is so impressive?

Given the rather enviable climate that this corner of South France enjoys, you probably won't be surprised to learn that many of these lie outside. The first one that's likely to grab your attention is the swimming pool, but wander around a bit more and you'll discover everything from a sauna and six-person Jacuzzi to a tennis court and bar in the poolhouse for afterwards.

The home itself still retains an air of grandeur – all high ceilings, parquet floors and chandeliers. There are plenty of large communal spaces in which to gather together, but a fair few more private spots to escape the group for a peaceful moment. Chief among them is the rather elegant freestanding tub in the master bathroom.

One thing you'll quickly appreciate here is just how tranquil the locale is, with even the nearest village sitting 6km away. The surrounding area is peppered with charming towns and scenic hillside walking routes, while Toulouse is only 55km away, too.

Ski-in and Ski-out

A modern, stylish and comfortable home in an enviable position, a little more than ten minutes walk from Les Angles' famous ski area, this place has bags of appeal. Over three floors, with its own ski storage room and views across the countryside all the way to the nearby Lac de Matemale and the mountains beyond, it's family-friendly and roomy enough for a large group.

We love the styling here, with its mix of stone floors, local timber and exposed stone. The living room has comfy sofas and a log burner to keep everyone toasty in the depth of winter, and there are a few decorative touches that may come as a quirky surprise (we love the bear in the living room and the ski mask mirror in the hall). A well-equipped, modern kitchen comes with everything you'll need and there's a dining table seating eight.

Elsewhere, bedrooms and bathrooms are all individual and smartly furnished – our favourite being the main bedroom with its partly open en-suite. And kids will no doubt love the bunk room. Close to the centre of the village, you'll be within walking distance of its shops and restaurants, with all the resort facilities at your fingertips. 

Bear & Peak

Parking On Premises

Nestled away in the mountain village of Les Angles with a superb view of Lake Matemale, this idyllic chalet has a long list of ways to keep you warm and toasty, even at the height of winter.

The most obvious option is to hunker down among the comfy throws in the living room next to the contemporarily styled fireplace – especially as some of the best views are to be had out through the huge window in this space – but guests also benefit from both a private sauna and a hot tub out on the terrace.

There's something ultra-cosy and homely about the design, which embraces all the traditional features you might expect to see in a home such as this – we're talking an abundance of wood, soft lighting and a few antler-themed decorative items. That being said, it's modern where it matters, particularly the sleek black kitchen and bathrooms.

During the warmer months, there's a balcony terrace on which you can sit out and survey the majestic scenery, as well as another on the ground level. The aforementioned lake that you can spot in the distance is only 4km away, ready and waiting for walks and watersports. When snowfall covers the slopes, however, there's a shuttle that takes you up to the slopes a mere 100 metres from the front door.

Warmth & Affection

Carignan is one of the best homes in our collection for those who want to experience the best Languedoc has to offer. This is a neatly refurbished chateau with exquisite views that reach as far as the Pyrenées, located in the heart of a charming village where you can live out your market-town fantasies. When we say chateau, we mean chateau — this means regal dining arrangements, high vaulted ceilings in almost every room, original art, plenty of space, antique furniture, and everything you imagine pertains to a home like this one. With the addition of modern luxuries like the private pool and the well-equipped kitchen, Carignan is a great place to make lifelong memories of enjoying the vistas by the pool or dining alfresco in the garden with your loved ones. The stellar host team is happy to arrange any extra services that can make your stay even more enjoyable, so don't be afraid to ask if they can provide you with a private chef, a gastronomic tour, a babysitter, or a private class.

Just outside the medieval city of Carcassonne, this home puts the castle ramparts, surrounding vineyards, and the Pyrenees mountains front and centre. The garden has everything you need to unwind in the sunshine – a heated pool, private Jacuzzi, pétanque court, and a playground for little ones. Inside may not be as characterful as the stone exterior, but it's bright and roomy. All the beds can be converted into two singles if needed, making this an ideal option for families. Factor in the potential to organise guided tours, wine tastings, private chefs, and more experiences, and it's no surprise it captured our hearts.

Echoes of the Past

Part of the beautiful Languedoc-Roussillon, a region renowned for its prestigious vineyards and vibrant sunflowers, this quintessentially French holiday home is located in a small family-friendly village just a fifteen-minute drive from the spectacular walled city of Carcassonne and the equally fairy tale-esque Limoux.

Inside, it’s a beguiling mix of old-world glamour and country-chic charm – we loved the sweeping staircase and marble fireplaces, not to mention the working fireplace in the expansive reception area – perfect for warming up with your loved ones on those cooler evenings. After cooking up a storm on the aga-style oven, bask in the summer sun in the comfort and serenity of your private pool area, or stroll down towards the river that babbles softly at the end of the garden. 

Whether you’re cosying up in the inviting living areas, pottering around the mature garden, dipping in that impressive swimming pool, or exploring the best of what the Languedoc region has to offer, the creature comforts and understated style of this typically French home guarantee unforgettable memories in beautiful surroundings. 

In the nearby village, you will find a tennis court, a public swimming pool, as well as a popular horse-riding school just a short walk away. Bike hire can also be arranged locally and there is plenty of opportunity to get out into the countryside with activities including fishing, canoeing, cycling, and hiking all readily available. Furthermore, fans of golf lovers can reach the highly-regarded Golf de Carcassonne in just fifteen minutes by car.

This villa is just moments from Carcassonne’s Medieval City, so it's perfectly placed for some historical sightseeing. You don't have to venture far, though, as you can see the walls and towers as you soak in the jacuzzi. Outside, there's also a heated pool, a children’s play area, and a pétanque court with views of the Pyrenees. Plus the bioclimatic pergola allows for year-round outdoor dining. Three of the bedrooms have more than one bed, so some sharing is involved – but it's ideal for families. And with ensuite bathrooms and an additional TV room, there's plenty of space here for groups.

Medieval Vista

Straight out of a belle époque style painting is this large chateau not far from Toulouse and big enough for the entire extended family. With views of the neighbouring vineyards from the home’s balconies, you will feel truly immersed in the grape harvest at the right time of year. Eat breakfast on the veranda while the kids float in the pool and enjoy days walking in the heart of wine country. Cycle into to nearby Gaillac for fresh cheese to enjoy with wine on the terrace and various herbs collected from the garden. The wildlife you can spot on the property was a highlight for us. Keep your eyes peeled for roe deer in the morning and listen for nightingales to sing you to sleep.

Belle Nightingales

This is a stunning, modern villa located amidst picturesque vineyards on the outskirts of the medieval village of Caunes-Minervois. The villa boasts air conditioning, a heated pool, and panoramic views of the Pyrenees. The surroundings are ideal for cycling and walking, and guests can explore nearby attractions such as Carcassonne and Minerve. The villa features an elongated terrace with a sitting area, dining table, and plancha grill. The lounge is spacious and beautifully decorated with large glass windows, comfortable seating, and a flat-screen TV that can double as a virtual painting. The dining table is made from one piece of a tree and invites guests to enjoy long meals. There are four bedrooms, each with air conditioning, and two extra single beds can be added upon request for a fee. Two bedrooms have private bathrooms, while the other two share a bathroom. A sustainable heating system has been installed in the villa's floors to ensure guests' comfort during their stay.

The Champagne Haze

Located just a five-minute drive from Salvagnac, you'll be within easy reach of this country house's local eateries and French bakery. With a private heated swimming pool, outdoor dining area, patio lounge and a games room – it offers luxury home amenities in a humble environment. Perfect for a large family or group of friends, the grounds are huge and surrounded by nature, with grassy areas and ample space and shade for children to run and play. If you're staying here during the colder months, a cosy aesthetic can be found inside where the log burner fireplace offers a tasteful finishing touch. 




The Valley Forge

Indoor Pool

Charming is an understatement when it comes to Bed of Roses. Adorned with white shutters, grapevines and plenty of flowers, this home might as well be taken from a picture book. Guests lucky enough to stay here will appreciate the indoor pool, period furniture, large en-suite bathrooms, and, of course, the idyllic setting. Tucked between Toulouse and Montpellier, this southern home invites you to slow down and live like the French do, with ease and style. 

Bed of Roses

This luxurious villa comfortably accommodates 8 guests and features a heated pool, beautiful lawned garden with gravel, and stunning views of the valley and mountains. Located in Cesseras, Languedoc Roussillon, France, this villa offers privacy and tranquility in a hilly, rural, and residential area. The villa boasts 4 bedrooms, including a king-size bed, 2 double beds, and 2 single beds. Additionally, there are 2 bathrooms and 1 guest toilet. This villa is perfect for families or groups of friends looking to enjoy sports activities or simply relax in the comfort of their own private oasis.
