When winter settles in up north, the Aude coast keeps its light. The tramontane wind clears the sky, the Corbières vineyards change colour and the sea stays in view. The Villa Container Fitou welcomes those who want to spend part of the winter in the sun, for two weeks or for the whole season.
Sunshine, in figures
Nearly 2,500 hours of sunshine a year. In midwinter, the thermometer averages 13 °C in the afternoon (12.7 °C in January, 13.3 °C in December, 13.4 °C in February) and 5 °C early in the morning. The sun shines four to six hours a day: 131 hours in December, 141 in January, 164 in February.
These are Météo-France's official climate normals (1991-2020), recorded at the Perpignan airport station, 25 minutes from the villa.
A house, not a room
130 sqm, four bedrooms, a fitted kitchen, a large living room facing the sunset and two terraces: for a long stay, you have room to live, to host friends for a weekend, and never feel cooped up. The pool is heated twelve months a year and covered by a sliding deck outside swimming hours. In the evening, the electric fireplace warms the lounge.

Wifi throughout the villa, a dedicated workspace, reversible air conditioning: keep your job and change your sky. Meetings in the morning, La Franqui beach in the afternoon, fifteen minutes away.
