Choosing an eco-friendly holiday rental does not mean giving up comfort. Villa Container Fitou is a 130 sqm architect villa with a pool heated all year round and a sea view, built from recycled shipping containers.
Building with less
A shipping container is a steel structure designed to last for decades. Giving it a second life as the structure of a house avoids producing new steel and pouring a complete frame. The villa is the proof: a recycled steel construction, unique on the coast, with clean volumes and a flat roof.
Solar power, soon
Solar panels will soon complete the approach, producing part of the house's energy on site.
A holiday at the pace of the place
On the heights of Fitou, among AOC vineyards and garrigue, life is outdoors: the wooden terrace, the pool, the sunset over the Leucate lagoon. The beaches of Leucate and La Franqui are 15 minutes away, the La Palme lagoon and its flamingos close by, Fitou's winemakers on the doorstep. Enough for a week without much driving.
Comfort is not sacrificed
Four bedrooms, sleeps eight, an equipped kitchen, air conditioning, wifi, and a heated pool secured by a sliding deck. Booked direct, no commission.
