The South does not close for winter. In Fitou, in the Aude, the sun shines more than three hundred days a year, the tramontane wind clears the sky and the sea stays in view. Villa Container Fitou has, above all, something few rentals offer: a pool heated all year round, where you can swim at the autumn half-term just as in February.
Autumn half-term: the sea without the crowds
In late October, the beaches of Leucate and La Franqui are empty, the vineyards have turned gold and it is often twenty degrees at midday. The Cathar castles and the Sigean African Reserve can be visited without queues. In the evening, the heated pool and the terrace facing the sunset.
Christmas and New Year: eight people around the table
Four bedrooms and eight beds, one large living space with a fitted kitchen: the villa is built for a family or a friends' celebration. The Le Barcares Christmas village is thirty minutes away, the Perpignan and Narbonne markets half an hour, and the sea for a New Year's Day walk.
February: skiing in the morning, the pool in the evening
The Catalan Pyrenees resorts, Font-Romeu and Les Angles, are an hour and forty minutes away. You can ski in the morning, come back down and end the day in the heated pool, facing the Mediterranean. For the February break, it is the combination the children never forget.
Out of season, a weekend is enough
From November to March, outside the festive period, the villa accepts a two-night weekend. Wifi, reversible air conditioning, a workspace, dogs welcome: it is also the right address for a week of remote work in the sun. Direct booking, no commission.
