Up in the hills of Fitou, between the AOC vineyards and the Mediterranean, the Villa Container Fitou is a contemporary architect-designed villa: a flat roof, large glass walls, steel volumes clad in wood, and the sea on the horizon. A 130 sqm house unlike any other on this coast, rented whole, directly from the owner.
What high-end means here
The luxury of this villa is not gilt. It is a signed architecture, generous spaces where eight people live without getting in each other's way, a living room open onto the fitted kitchen and the terrace, a home cinema for the evenings, and above all the view: the sea from the roof terrace, the Corbières hills at sunset.
Four bedrooms, two of them with 160 cm beds (bedroom 1 with its terracotta wall and freestanding bath, and the ground-floor suite), two shower rooms, three toilets, air conditioning, a wine cellar, wifi, wardrobes in every room. Outside, two terraces: the roof terrace for the sun, and the wooden living terrace with the barbecue, the outdoor shower and the pool.
A pool heated all year round
This is the detail that changes everything off season: the pool is heated twelve months a year. You swim in January under the winter sun, and the sliding deck covers it outside swimming hours, for everyone's peace of mind.
The service of a high-end house
Bed linen, towels and basics are provided. End-of-stay cleaning is included in the cleaning fee. A cot and a high chair are available on request, free of charge, and dogs are welcome. You book directly, with no platform commission: the price you see is the price you pay, the deposit is secure and the calendar is online.
Around the villa, the best of the South
The sandy beaches of Leucate and La Franqui fifteen minutes away, the oyster shacks on the lagoon, the Cap Leucate lighthouse. The Fitou winemakers at the foot of the villa, the Salses fortress minutes away, the medieval city of Carcassonne an hour away. For a great table, Le Grand Cap in Leucate, one Michelin star, sixteen kilometres from the villa.
Who it is for
A family or two couples of friends who want a real house rather than a hotel, a festive-season stay facing the sea, a winter in the sun, or a couple treating themselves to the whole villa off season. Not for groups of more than eight, nor for loud parties: the villa is made for living, for a few days, in a rare piece of architecture.
