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.


Pastel Lilies

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.

Revelling in History 

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

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.

Scene of Green

Located in the Borderouge neighbourhood just outside Toulouse’s centre, this stylish apartment offers a comfortable base from which to explore the city away from the tourist crowds. 

Inside, tiled floors, an open-plan living area and cool, contemporary decor set an instantly inviting scene. Slide open the glass doors here to step out onto a private balcony – this is the perfect spot to indulge in some fresh coffee and croissants first thing each morning or a glass of French wine in the evenings as the sun sets over the surrounding rooftops. Back inside, the dining table beckons celebratory meals when you’re not out sampling the local restaurants, while the sofa invites relaxed lounging after a busy day of sightseeing. 

With a beautifully dressed bedroom that also has a desk space should you need to catch up on work, you’re all set whether you’re here for business or pleasure. 

When it comes to sightseeing, you’ve got a plethora of bakeries and restaurants, as well as a cinema within 50 metres of your home, while a quick drive or a trip by Metro – the nearest stop is 10 metres away – will take you into Toulouse’s buzzing centre. 


Chez Voltaire

Live out your history-rich dreams in this charming apartment. Located within a 16th-century private mansion in the style of the first Renaissance of Toulouse, this apartment is a historical monument. Centrally located in Saint-Etienne, this apartment is an elegant city base with a storied past. 

The pared-back design is complimented by characterful elements, like the beamed ceilings, period furnishings and artworks that are a joy to relax amongst after a day exploring Place du Capitole, a short walk away. Grab a croissant from your local boulangerie and sip your morning coffee at the sleek 70s-style table, then gather on the plump leather sofa to plan the day.

Amble your way around Saint-Cyprien, where you’ll find contemporary galleries, bars floating on the Garonne, local delicatessens, vintage boutiques, undercover food markets, and riverside hangout spots. 

Wind down in the evening at one of the city’s authentic restaurants for a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon and cassoulet Toulousain. As night falls, wander through the buzzy streets back to your historic hideout for a restful night’s sleep in the elegant master suite.   

Renaissance Renaissance

Only a short stroll away from quiet restaurants and a quaint bakery, this 18th-century home is nuzzled in the medieval village of Caux – not far from Pézenas, where intimate art galleries and antique shops await.

Inside, you'll fall in love with this home's historic features and contemporary design. Each bedroom pays homage to a modern musical legend. Walk beneath vaulted ceilings into an open-plan living space for coffee and croissants, then head up to the sunroom and play chess. 

Grill brochettes for a barbecue lunch and snack around the patio. If you've hired a car, why not drive for thirty minutes to the French Riviera for an afternoon adventure? Later, return and serve local wine from your outdoor bar while you set up a family game of pétanque.

As you swim in the salt-water pool, hire a private chef to prepare dinner in your immaculate kitchen. Enjoy a French feast at the formal dining table, where you can plan tomorrow's trip to Pézenas. Then, gather to watch the sunset over the garden before enjoying a movie night in the cosy den.

Where the Choir Sings

This villa was once a wine-maker’s house, nestled amongst the overflowing vineyards of the Languedoc region. Today, it’s the perfect holiday destination for wine connoisseurs and non-drinkers alike. Surrounded by a charming village and spacious gardens, this is a true escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Choose to indulge in a glass of red as you challenge your guests to a round of pool, sip a refreshing white after a dip in the L-shaped swimming pool, or simply retain a clear head as you soak up an atmosphere so special you’ll want to bottle it. 


The Echantillon

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

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

Only a five-minute stroll from the city centre of Toulouse, this modern apartment in the Saint Aubin district is a convenient base for those looking to soak up the city's attractions with ease. And while the shops, historic landmarks, bars and restaurants will keep you busy, the apartment's minimal designs offer a calming space to relax between excursions. With an open-plan concept living room and kitchen area, enjoy sociable moments and fun-filled memories over homemade meals and indulgent aperitifs around the dining table. Some French cheese and wine are an absolute must when visiting this area of France, after all. 

Overlooking the Canal du Midi, the immediate vicinity boasts a local bakery, mini-market, restaurants and shops – so there'll be little need to step foot on public transport for your daily needs. And with the train station only a ten-minute walk away, transferring to other neighbouring and cross-country towns is a breeze. 

Floating Memories

Located in the centre of the historical city of Toulouse, known as 'The Pink City' due to its warm-hued buildings, this cosy apartment is the perfect pad for couples and solo travellers. 

Inside, the arched ceilings create a welcoming and serene cocooning effect to the living room, while the original brick fireplace will have you feeling right at home. Sink into the plush mustard-yellow sofa with your holiday read, fling the Parisian-style windows open and listen to the bustling streets below. The bedroom is intricately designed to maximise the space, with its inside-out windows and colourful decor, while the ensuite includes a bathtub for an indulgent soak at the end of a day of sightseeing. 

When you're not enjoying the home comforts, head out for a riverside stroll along the Garonne, before stopping off for a bite to eat at one of several charming cafés or restaurants. You're a short walk from the Basilique Saint-Sernin and the Musée des Augustins, for those in town for art and culture.
