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.

We can't think of many things better than living right on the beachfront of the French Mediterranean coast. Sitting four floors up with a spectacular panoramic view of the breakers, this effortlessly chic, modern home adds a slice of luxury to beach holidays. Inside, there’s everything you need to relax and unwind, from the colourful sofa and stylish wicker chairs to the tasteful bedrooms with their large windows that welcome in the morning sunlight. But our favourite spot has be the grand, sweeping balcony that directly overlooks the beach and the vast sea. From here, gaze out towards the horizon as you sip a sundowner cocktail with your favourite people, or enjoy dinner in the lukewarm night air. The hub for beach activities is directly over the road, so whether you want to go swimming, kayaking or windsurfing in the balmy Med, you'll be in the water in minutes. If you can tear yourself away from the sandy shores, a half-hour car ride will get you to Perpignan, loved for its renowned cultural scene and wide array of restaurants and bars.

A happy French beach holiday is made all the more special when you stay at this gorgeous French chateau. It’s based just a short stroll away from the stunning Racou beach, where you can enjoy a dip in the Mediterranean, sunbathe on the sandy shore, or sip on a glass of champagne in a beach bar. The home sits nestled away in a peaceful spot, surrounded by leafy green gardens, giving you a serene retreat to return to after days spent in the more vibrant parts of town.

We adore how this home is packed with character – ornate tiled floors, elegant light fixtures, traditional artwork and chic French furniture give it a je ne sais quoi that’s rare to find. There’s plenty of places to make lots of memories here – the beautiful outdoor pool provides the perfect place to cool off in the sunshine, while the terrace invites you to sip on sundowners while you watch the sky turn pink on warm summer evenings. For autumn and winter stays, you can cosy up around the fireplace with a French hot chocolate – drunk out of a bowl, of course – or spend evenings stuck into a good book in the library with a glass of wine.

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.

Nice to haves

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.

Ski Storage / Boot Room

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

Pool / Snooker Table

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

Floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors allow the backdrop of the sea to be the mountains during your stay at this apartment on the Costa Brava. Sunny and finished with all the modern conveniences, a family will find great ease whilst at this home. Waking up to gorgeous views over the sea while you enjoy breakfast around the dining table will be a delight that won’t get boring. Both the master and children’s bunkroom opens up onto the terrace overhanging the sands of Empuriabrava beach. Speaking of, getting to and fro the golden sands and turquoise waters for water sports and sunbathing is easy, so you’ll have no trouble popping back to the terrace for lunch. The canals of the surrounding town, known as the Venice of Spain, are one of its defining attributes, so when you’re not with the kids engaging in activities, you can head out on a nightlife scene as vibrant and luxurious as some of Europe’s other seaside destinations. 

Bravissima

This lovely home can be found in Gruissan, a picturesque town in the south of France. If you’re hoping for white sand beaches and beautiful scenery, this is an excellent choice of location. Best of all, it’s home to this stylish abode. 

This home ticks every box when it comes to fuss-free holiday homes. It’s small but perfectly formed, with a cosy living room that’s the heart of the home. Children will love sleeping on the mezzanine level, where they can have their own space while still being close to the grown-ups. 

The outside space here is sure to win over everyone, though. You’ll have access to the shared swimming pool, which is a dream to dive into on hot, sunny days. You can sunbathe alongside the pool, dipping a toe in every now and then, or choose to soak up the sun on one of two terraces. There’s shade aplenty if you’d rather curl up with a book and a lemonade, too. 

Plage de Matteille is less than a kilometre away, where you can splash in the shallows and build sandcastles. It’s also easy to stroll to the harbour promenade – it’s a lovely way to spend an evening. Hikers will be thrilled to be within reach of the trails up Massif de la Clape, which boasts some spectacular views. There’s something for everyone here.

This beachfront apartment will have you glowing from dawn till dusk. The open-plan kitchen, living room and dining area are bathed in natural light coming in through large French doors, so to stay here is to move in to a vibrant, sociable space to prepare meals, play games, and whip up cocktails – complete with sun-kissed balcony to enjoy them on. The design and furniture nod to the sea with aquatic motifs, sleek blue seating, glass top table and polished silver flooring. When you’re not basking in the sun on your balcony, lazy days are best spent on Argelès Beach mere steps from your door. The seven-kilometre long beach is known for its warm sand and glistening water, as well as its seafront promenade with its surplus of shops, restaurants, late-night bars, and children's play area.

The Hot Seat

Self Check-in / Check-out

Safe

Set high above the sea in the Spanish sunshine, this clifftop villa offers spectacular views – best enjoyed from the scenic swimming pool or shaded terrace. Designed in 1962 by renowned architect Peter Harnden, it blends Californian cool and rustic Mediterranean charm, creating a sense of calm and comfort. We love that each bedroom has its own en-suite, and how many of them open onto a terrace, so you can go from snoozing to sunbathing in moments. We also love the location – just ten minutes in the car from Cadaqués, which former resident Salvador Dalí once called “the best place in the world”. It’s easy to agree when you’re wandering the whitewashed streets of this pretty seaside town – especially when you’re staying in such a heavenly home.

The Coast House

Home Cinema Setup

This grand home has bags of charm, luxury, history, and supreme style. First off, it's an award-winning vineyard or 'Domaine', with tastings and bottles for sale. While away evenings learning about French grapes in a stunning retreat. If you're not a wine-drinker, you will be before you leave this incredible home. A beautiful mixture of historical charm and modern-day comforts, you'll relax in Villeroy & Boch bathrooms with L’Occitane toiletries and luxury linens and bedding. The rooms are filled with characterful floor tiles and wooden beams, and the art gallery, library, and piano add a unique touch of French culture to this palatial abode. You can be on sandy Marseillan Plage in less than 30 minutes for a day on the coast with nothing but golden sand and views, or stay at the home - there's a two-hectare private park with flowers, lawns, and 200-year-old trees to explore, and the swimming pool is the perfect antidote to the hot French sun. This very special home will have you thoroughly relaxed in total luxury, French-style.

Escape To The Country

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.

Sitting on the southern tip of France, this stylish home opens its doors onto the beauty of the Mediterranean coastline. 

Just a short drive from the fishing town of Sète, this is the perfect setting for families and friends to share the magic of seaside living. With its modern design and elegant styling, this is the kind of space that feels rejuvenating. From the moment you wake up, you’ll want to pause and savour the details that make this home special. Like watching the sunrise from the terrace or enjoying your morning coffee in the peaceful garden. 

The communal spaces are designed to feel intimate and relaxing – you can move to your own rhythm here. Spend slow days by the swimming pool or walk down to the beach with one of the paddleboards or kayaks. 

There are some wonderful restaurants in the charming village of Sète – only a fifteen–minute drive away. But we won’t be surprised if you want to dine at home. Light up the barbecue, pour a glass of local wine and watch the sunset over the horizon. 

The Emerald Sea

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

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 

Sound System

Rooftop Terrace

In the charming fishing port of L'Escala, the rooftop terrace of this bright and breezy villa gives you a panoramic view over the Bay of Roses. Up here, above the rooftops of the colourful town, you’ll find a turquoise plunge pool offering respite on hot days, and deck chairs to enjoy the view. Dinner can be taken on the terrace at the table for eight, and glass fold-away doors blend the dining terrace with the open-plan living room. Rattan furnishings and driftwood touches bring the beachy vibe inside and pristine white walls are livened up with sea-glass bottles and rare seashells. It’s a five-minute walk to the seafront where boats land the freshest seafood at the harbour, and a ten-minute walk sees you at the sandy stretch of beach at Platja del Rec. Explore the town on foot and dine on the catch of the day, or stock up on fresh fish and sun-ripened fruit and veg and cook in the vintage-chic kitchen back home.

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

Just steps from the beach in the heart of Cadaqués, this home is full of Mediterranean charm. This spacious, multi-level townhouse has generous social spaces a plenty, a lift to make getting around it simple, and ten elegant en-suite bedrooms – so each group has their own privacy. A walled garden hides a covered pool, shaded dining spots, and a barbecue area perfect for long, leisurely outdoor living. With cafés, boutiques, and the town’s cobbled streets right on your doorstep, and the rugged beauty of Cap de Creus just minutes away, it’s an ideal base for exploring the Costa Brava in style.

Seascape & Stone

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

This winemaker's abode from the early 20th century preserves many of its original features. Crafted in local stone, the ground floor bears marks of the century old wine tanks. Other quirky details include bar-stools, lamps and wardrobes salvaged from French cruise ships and a well-fitted vintage gaming den. A typical day here involves sipping wines at the local vineyards followed by visits to quaint boutiques, morning markets and galleries of Pézenas. If you can ever get enough of the festivities and street music of the village, there's a whole different world to explore. While the nearby beaches of Cap d’Agade and Marseillan Plage have gorgeous coastlines lined with delicious sea-food haunts, the rivers are a hot-bed for swimming, fishing, biking and water-sports. We don't debate that it can take up all your summer to simply scratch the surface of Languedoc. However, it would be a missed opportunity to not include a day trip to the walled city of Carcassone while you're here.

Where to start with this 13th-century farmhouse sitting at the foothills of the Catalan Pyrenees? Surrounded by expansive gardens, fields, and woodlands, this home offers ancient heritage and contemporary design. With a LEED Platinum certification, the sustainably restored villa will make you feel good about your footprint, too. Though there’s no air conditioning, there are cooling floors and ceiling fans. And while the bedroom suites are on the simpler side, they provide mountain views to wake up to each morning. Your host can arrange outdoor activities, including biking, horseback riding and hot air ballooning, or simply unwind by the saltwater pool while the kids bounce on the trampoline.

You’ll be within walking distance of the town’s shops and restaurants, with plenty of outdoor activities to be enjoyed too. The home has a large private garden, a pool, and a shaded alfresco dining area. The inside feels bright and comfy, offering a modern design and plenty of light. Although there’s enough bed space for five, we think the home is best suited for four adults and a child. 

The Warmth of the Sun

Stay in a Languedoc village house with a gorgeous garden and swimming pool, a short stroll from the boulangerie and a bar-restaurant, just 4km from Pézenas and its wonderful weekly market. Once a winemaker's mansion which dates back to the mid-19th century, blue-shuttered The property sleeps up to 12 guests across its six bedrooms.

The enclosed garden features your very own swimming pool with a plage-style entrance ideal for youngsters to splash around in. Enjoy al-fresco feasts by the barbecue, savouring some of the delicious produce found at local markets (including nearby Pézenas' famous Saturday morning market which dates back to the 14th century).

Just a 10-minute drive away is Pézenas, not only famous for its weekly market but also its little antique stores, inviting cafes and restaurants as well as Molière's Théâtre de Pézenas. On Friday evenings in the height of the summer the town comes alive with live music, street food and lots of good local wine during 'Les Estivales'.Languedoc's fine coastline is easily reached with Marseillan Plage and the old town of Sète within half an hour by car whilst other highlights of this region include wine villages, vineyards, garrigue perfect for hiking as well as the bustling town of Béziers. Venture a little further afield to visit the picture-perfect pilgrimage stop, Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, or spend the day exploring the magnificent citadel of Carcassonne, both classified as UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Languedoc Hideaway

Once an old winery, now a charming home, this villa in the heart of old Pézenas is ideally located for guests who want to explore the town's bustling atmosphere. The place is a short walk from numerous shops, restaurants, and museums and a thirty-minute drive from Marseillan Plage Beach. Inside the abode are four air-conditioned bedrooms, including the main sleeping quarters with an en-suite bathroom. Outside, you’ll find a heated swimming pool, a terrace for dining, and a seating area for enjoying a sundowner or two.

The Little Bird

This is a stunning, modern villa located amidst picturesque vineyards on the outskirts of the medieval village of Caunes-Minervois.

And when you’re full of warmth and fresh sea air, you’ll love coming together on the balcony to watch the sunset over the mountains. 

Flower of the Sea

Channel your inner artist at this garden-immersed villa in the Languedoc region. This home has an unpretentious and whimsical feel with art and sculptures throughout and ample space for living. Swim in the pool while the kids play in the shallow end before lounging in the lush gardens or taking the kids canoeing on the River Orb. Within walking distance you have the pleasant town of Pézena, overflowing with celebrations, markets, and artistic flare. If you’re keen to go a bit further afield, eat oysters on the bays of Mèze. Plan a visit to a selection of vineyards and bring a few bottles home to the villa to enjoy with local fare on the covered terrace. And we recommend a night out at the L'illustre Théâtre while a sitter watches the kids. 

Molière’s Theatre

A bright penthouse apartment with incredible views, this home puts you right in the centre of the resort of Empuriabrava. The home is bright and airy – white walls and modern furniture is brought to life with pops of colour that come from artwork, the funky dining chairs and the sunset-hued bathroom tiles. The sociable living area and sleek, bold red kitchen makes it easy to gather and prep meals together. The apartment has two terraces – the huge south-facing terrace is the star of the show, with lots of room to hang out and relax. It gets the sun all day, so it’s the perfect peaceful spot to enjoy the weather. As the day ends, enjoy drinks and dinner, or watch the sun set over the lake from the second, west-facing terrace. There’s lots to do nearby – rent bikes and explore the canal paths, play tennis and golf, or try out watersports. Spend your days at one of the sandy beaches before the resort's restaurants and bars come to life.

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.

Enchanted Refuge

Famed for its fantastically preserved historic architecture – and now home to some rather good antique shops – Pézenas is a truly charming Southern France town. Place yourself just a short stroll from those cobbled streets and 16th-century buildings by staying in this modern villa with its own annexe. French chic gets a remix here where a penchant for minimalism and chrome is softened by some more homely and snuggly furnishings. We’re particularly taken by the mosaic tiling in the walk-in shower and the beautiful views glimpsed from almost every room. Walk to the nearby boulangerie each morning and return with the base for a shared lunch on the terrace or spend family-centric time around the barbecue on a warm evening. It’s pleasant to imagine an afternoon spent walking the vibrant Pézenas streets once known to Molière before heading home for a refreshing dip in the pool. And, naturally, a glass of wine from the Languedoc region.

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.
