From its elevated perch on the edge of a traditional Languedoc village, Villa de la Fontaine Romaine looks out over a tapestry of vines, olive trees and pine-covered hills. The contemporary design plays wonderfully against the natural landscape, creating a space that feels rooted in its southern French surroundings.
Inside, the villa offers high-quality living across two levels. The open-plan kitchen and dining area is the heart of the home, fitted with sleek appliances including a wine fridge and American-style fridge-freezer, perfect for preparing local produce from the nearby markets. A split-level living room, bathed in light from a feature arched window, invites relaxation with patio doors opening to the terrace. Fibre-optic Wi-Fi and Smart TV ensure all the modern comforts are covered.
There are four comfortable bedrooms, including a ground floor double with doors opening to the poolside terrace. Upstairs, all three bedrooms feature an air-conditioning unit – there’s the small children’s twin, another double and a final bedroom with a pretty little terrace, all sharing an impressive modern bathroom with separate shower.
Outside, a shaded dining terrace, marquee seating area and sun loungers surround the private pool, while south-facing patios offer sunny corners for morning coffee or an evening apéritif.
Montouliers, just a short stroll away, offers a taste of village life with a café-bar and grocery shop. A short drive brings you to Argeliers, with its bakeries, restaurants and the Canal du Midi, while the beaches of Gruissan and Narbonne Plage are just 45 minutes away. For day trips, explore the covered market and Gothic cathedral of Narbonne, kayak in Roquebrun or wander the medieval ramparts of Carcassonne.
Whether sipping Languedoc wine under the marquee or discovering the region’s Roman history and Mediterranean coastlines, Villa de la Fontaine Romaine offers a contemporary home in one of France’s most characterful corners.
