Le Domaine Méditerranéen exudes warmth, colour and character in the Languedoc countryside, perfectly placed in the Corbières hills between Carcassonne and the Mediterranean coast.

This 19th-century villa blends the soul of southern France with the rich textures and tones of Moorish design, where handcrafted lanterns cast golden light over carved wood, marble kitchen surfaces and elegant furnishings. Sleeping up to 14 guests across six beautifully appointed bedrooms, many with en suites, the home is designed for relaxed family gatherings, quiet escapes with friends and long summer evenings under the stars.

This is a home created for living well. Sip morning coffee with stunning views, cycle through vineyard trails on one of the villa’s mountain bikes or return from a coastal adventure and cool off in the heated swimming pool as dusk settles over the hills. Gather for al-fresco feasts prepared in the poolside summer kitchen with its plancha-grill and pizza oven - this is southern France at its best. 

Soak up the beautiful surroundings and fragrant scents as you explore the vast grounds with fruit trees, pines and romantic vistas across the hills. Little ones will adore the simple play area whilst older kids can challenge each other to a game of pétanque or play on the billiard table inside.

Le Domaine Méditerranéen enjoys a superb setting in a rural hamlet just 40km from Carcassonne. The villages of Fabrezan and Lézignan-Corbières offer weekly markets and restaurants, while the Corbières Massif invites exploration by foot or bike. Further afield, the Mediterranean coast, with its sandy beaches and wild beauty, lies within easy reach, along with the storied walls of Carcassonne and Roman treasures of Narbonne.

Whether gathering with friends for summer feasts or enjoying the crisp light of winter with glorious views on the horizon, Le Domaine Méditerranéen offers an unforgettable setting for every season.

• This welcoming house is ideal for a year-round escape. When the pool is closed, there is a jacuzzi that guests can use (subject to a supplement, available October to April only unless otherwise agreed) - please book use of the jacuzzi in advance.
