Beyond rural landscapes and sun-warmed vines, in the heart of Languedoc’s rolling wine country, Maison Saint-Julien offers an authentic slice of life in the south of France. This renovated farmhouse is where traditional living meets the pleasures of long, leisurely days under southern skies. With simple, rustic interiors and ample space across two floors, it’s a place where guests can truly settle into the pace of rural French life.
Inside, five comfortable bedrooms and two large bathrooms accommodate up to nine guests. The farmhouse layout feels unpretentious and easy, centred around a spacious kitchen-dining room that opens to the garden, and a generous living area upstairs with high, beamed ceilings and access to an elevated terrace.
Outside, the private pool awaits, perfectly placed for warm afternoons with a book or a glass of local wine in hand. There’s a dining area for casual lunches or barbecues or drive just over five minutes to charming Capestang for evening meals on the inviting village square where café terraces spill out onto cobblestones.
Capestang itself is set on the picturesque Canal du Midi, with tree-lined towpaths ideal for walking or cycling to other canalside villages. Pick up fresh bread at the village boulangerie and stock up at the large supermarket on the edge of Capestang. The vibrant town of Béziers is wonderful day out, especially on market day. Meanwhile, the beaches of the Mediterranean are within half an hour, while the fortified city of Carcassonne makes for an unforgettable day out a little further afield.
Whether you’re here to cycle, swim or sample the region’s celebrated Languedoc wines, Maison Saint-Julien is an ideal base for discovering the warmth, simplicity and charm of southern French living.
- Encircled by country lanes, Maison Saint-Julien is one of three properties that make up a domaine – each house is completely separate.
