Secluded in the French countryside, this beautifully restored villa is the perfect getaway for large groups. The traditional Provencal interior brings no shortage of space and comfort and the villa stands on 650 acres of land, giving way to olive groves and fruit trees as far as the eye can see. Eight bedrooms are within the main house, and a further three are situated in the separate cottage, known as the 'Bergerie', where you'll also find a separate kitchen - great for inter-generational groups or those wanting more privacy from the main house. The kids will love the private pool, and grown-ups can take advantage of the poolhouse seating whilst supervising. Location-wise, you can venture to the coast on a day trip or visit the medieval Carcassonne, only a fifteen-minute drive away.

Anyone who thinks large homes lack personality clearly never visited Form Over Function. This immense castle may have nine bedrooms and a four-hectare estate, but it retains its 13th-century character (along with corresponding low doorways). Originally built by a Cathar Lord, it’s now owned by a sculptor whose work is scattered across the grounds. The 86-square-metre Knights’ Hall with library was made for banquets, so bring your best mead and tuck into a mediaeval meal you’ll never forget. There’s also a separate 4-bedroom cottage on the grounds, which can be hired for an additional fee.

This lovely home can be found in Gruissan, a picturesque town in the south of France. If you’re hoping for white sand beaches and beautiful scenery, this is an excellent choice of location. Best of all, it’s home to this stylish abode. 

This home ticks every box when it comes to fuss-free holiday homes. It’s small but perfectly formed, with a cosy living room that’s the heart of the home. Children will love sleeping on the mezzanine level, where they can have their own space while still being close to the grown-ups. 

The outside space here is sure to win over everyone, though. You’ll have access to the shared swimming pool, which is a dream to dive into on hot, sunny days. You can sunbathe alongside the pool, dipping a toe in every now and then, or choose to soak up the sun on one of two terraces. There’s shade aplenty if you’d rather curl up with a book and a lemonade, too. 

Plage de Matteille is less than a kilometre away, where you can splash in the shallows and build sandcastles. It’s also easy to stroll to the harbour promenade – it’s a lovely way to spend an evening. Hikers will be thrilled to be within reach of the trails up Massif de la Clape, which boasts some spectacular views. There’s something for everyone here.

Sitting on a pretty Provencal hilltop, this chateau doesn't waste this prime location. Step behind the formidable stone walls – some of which date back to the 12th century – and you're greeted with expansive rooms packed full of luxurious touches.

The arched windows and glass doors at the end of the open living room are nothing but generous when it comes to natural light, making for a lovely space in which to dine or lounge. Upstairs, the bedrooms and bathrooms are similarly lavish, especially the teak-wood four-poster beds and bathtub overlooking the outdoor space.

Speaking of which, the alfresco space at the address is pretty special, too. Overlooked by 800-year-old gargoyles, there's a small swimming pool lent a little tropicality from the neighbouring palm trees. The built-in charcoal barbecue makes it easy to whip up feasts in the summer months, as well.

When it comes to getting to know this famous region a little better, the local village of Aragon can be reached easily on foot and has some renowned restaurants for you to enjoy. To help you work up an appetite, there are lots of walking routes and outdoor activities to undertake in the nearby national parks, while La Franqui beach is only 65km away, too.

Heated Pool

Indulge yourself at this 12th-century dog-friendly chateau in Languedoc. This idyllic spot is great for weddings and big family holidays alike, and while the traditional decor won't be for everyone, there's plenty of space for relaxation and entertainment both inside and out. The private pool is heated for free in the summer months, and the wine cellar is fit for a sommelier. For an extra touch of luxury, your host can help arrange services like a private chef or housekeeping, so you won't need to lift a finger. The rural location means you'll want a car here – you'll find medieval towns and villages dotted about the surrounding countryside, ideal for some unforgettable day trips.

This incredible French home and its surroundings are a riot for the senses. See the sun set against the rolling green hills, hear the breeze through the olive trees, smell the wild lavender and thyme in the air, taste the fine wines from the vineyards nearby, and touch the antique treasures found inside. With over 600 acres of stunning private land, including a lake, streams, woodland, hills and two grazing horses, there’s no need to leave The Sommelier. But if you tire of lounging by the pool or having candle-lit dinners, the surrounding countryside is a paradise for hikers, horse-riders and cyclists.

Fenced Property

There's something truly magical about this home's location in the listed Occitane village of Laurac. As well as being so isolated as to bring a pleasing sense of tranquillity, the hilltop position means that there are lovely views of verdant countryside from the terraces.

Speaking of which, the address benefits from two such standout outdoor spaces. On the second floor, glass doors open out to an alfresco dining area complete with a barbecue and a glorious panorama, while back down at the ground and thirty metres' walk from the home, there's a secret garden with a swimming pool surrounded by vegetation.

It's plain to see that a big chunk of your time here is going to be spent out in the open air, but you'll also be happy to hear that the interior doesn't disappoint when you finally retreat indoors. There's a rustic feel to the design, with large ceiling beams sitting above a traditional fireplace and smart wooden floors. That being said, it doesn't feel dated in the slightest – the kitchen is a modern update on the country-style quarters found in many of the region's properties.

When it comes to filling up an itinerary, the rural surroundings and wealth of routes can be explored on foot or horseback, or by bike or kayak. The medieval architecture in the town of Carcassonne only takes thirty-five minutes to reach in the car, too.

Not far from the Spanish border you’ll find Perpignan, a classified City of Art and History – thanks to its roots as a former Majorcan capital – and home to this eclectic apartment. It’s only fitting that the bold interior echoes elements of both Spanish and French flair as an ode to its surroundings. The result is a vibrant space that honours natural wood and rattan but also puts more opulent touches front and centre. 

Spend your time here unwinding with an early-morning coffee on the balcony or by reading on the sunny sofa. Gather around the kitchen island after lunch to pour the wine, snacking as you chat. 

When you wander out, you’ll find Spanish influences in the Cathedral of Saint-Jean-Baptiste and the majestic promenade des Platanes. Take holiday photos in front of the many ancient buildings and sit down to eat at one of the local restaurants or cafes. Head to the beach – Plage du Lido lies at the other end of a short drive, or tee off at Golf de Saint-Cyprien.

Charming is an understatement when it comes to Bed of Roses. Adorned with white shutters, grapevines and plenty of flowers, this home might as well be taken from a picture book. Guests lucky enough to stay here will appreciate the indoor pool, period furniture, large en-suite bathrooms, and, of course, the idyllic setting. Tucked between Toulouse and Montpellier, this southern home invites you to slow down and live like the French do, with ease and style.

You'll find The Manoir on the outskirts of the charming village of Canet. This traditional home was built in the Belle Epoque style and it really transports you back in time – without having to give up on any modern amenities, of course. Spend a lazy day by the pool, pick up your morning croissants in the village, or play a round of petanque in the courtyard. This home invites you to sit back and enjoy life as the French do. 

The Manoir

Carignan is one of the best homes in our collection for those who want to experience the best Languedoc has to offer. This is a neatly refurbished chateau with exquisite views that reach as far as the Pyrenées, located in the heart of a charming village where you can live out your market-town fantasies. When we say chateau, we mean chateau — this means regal dining arrangements, high vaulted ceilings in almost every room, original art, plenty of space, antique furniture, and everything you imagine pertains to a home like this one. With the addition of modern luxuries like the private pool and the well-equipped kitchen, Carignan is a great place to make lifelong memories of enjoying the vistas by the pool or dining alfresco in the garden with your loved ones. The stellar host team is happy to arrange any extra services that can make your stay even more enjoyable, so don't be afraid to ask if they can provide you with a private chef, a gastronomic tour, a babysitter, or a private class.

Dating back to the 19th century, this characterful house in Minervois is packed with personality. Best of all, you'll be able to tour the owner's biodynamic vineyard and winery too. 

Spread across three floors, the house presents plenty of space for up to eight guests to make themselves at home. And with the top floor set up as a large open space, you can use it to do yoga, work from home or simply relax with good wine and friends. 

Open up the French doors of the ornate country-style kitchen and step outside to the covered terrace area. Here you'll have the perfect setup for blissfully long lunches paired with some local wine (of course!) in the sunshine. After a hike back from the village, take a refreshing dip in the private swimming pool or put your feet up on one of the loungers. 

Offering a truly authentic stay, the home invites guests to soak up the charm of village life n the south of France and its surrounding landscapes. And when you're keen to venture further afield, the historic town of Carcassonne is reachable in just half an hour's drive. Meanwhile, the Languedoc coastline is only about an hour by car.

Part of the beautiful Languedoc-Roussillon, a region renowned for its prestigious vineyards and vibrant sunflowers, this quintessentially French holiday home is located in a small family-friendly village just a fifteen-minute drive from the spectacular walled city of Carcassonne and the equally fairy tale-esque Limoux.

Inside, it’s a beguiling mix of old-world glamour and country-chic charm – we loved the sweeping staircase and marble fireplaces, not to mention the working fireplace in the expansive reception area – perfect for warming up with your loved ones on those cooler evenings. After cooking up a storm on the aga-style oven, bask in the summer sun in the comfort and serenity of your private pool area, or stroll down towards the river that babbles softly at the end of the garden. 

Whether you’re cosying up in the inviting living areas, pottering around the mature garden, dipping in that impressive swimming pool, or exploring the best of what the Languedoc region has to offer, the creature comforts and understated style of this typically French home guarantee unforgettable memories in beautiful surroundings. 

In the nearby village, you will find a tennis court, a public swimming pool, as well as a popular horse-riding school just a short walk away. Bike hire can also be arranged locally and there is plenty of opportunity to get out into the countryside with activities including fishing, canoeing, cycling, and hiking all readily available. Furthermore, fans of golf lovers can reach the highly-regarded Golf de Carcassonne in just fifteen minutes by car.

As featured on Channel 4’s ‘Escape to the Chateau: DIY', this 19th-century abode is situated in the French countryside between Toulouse and Carcassonne – an ideal location for exploring these grand cities. Its historic interiors have been beautifully restored and paired with modern amenities, including an orangery with a pool table, private bar, outdoor terraces, and five sumptuously appointed bedrooms. Five bikes are provided if you wish to cycle to the nearby 14th-century village, where you’ll find a wealth of history and culture. With 1.5 hectares of lush gardens to explore, this historic home is a departure from the ordinary and offers a truly unique stay.

Just outside the medieval city of Carcassonne, this home puts the castle ramparts, surrounding vineyards, and the Pyrenees mountains front and centre. The garden has everything you need to unwind in the sunshine – a heated pool, private Jacuzzi, pétanque court, and a playground for little ones. Inside may not be as characterful as the stone exterior, but it's bright and roomy. All the beds can be converted into two singles if needed, making this an ideal option for families. Factor in the potential to organise guided tours, wine tastings, private chefs, and more experiences, and it's no surprise it captured our hearts.

Your spirits are quickly elevated as you weave your way through beautiful, patchwork hills at the foot of the spectacular Pyrénées mountains. Then, as you approach the little agricultural village, a lovely country road rolls over a hill and comes to the entrance, you begin your journey down the long, private drive. Nothing prepares you for the first glimpse of this enchanting château. The estate consists of a magnificent 19th-century château, an adjoining 16th-century farm, two separate cottages, and a magnificent 12th-century chapel, making it a historical treat.

Spend your days gazing out the balcony at the 360-degree views of stunning countryside and the Pyrénées beyond, and even get a cup of coffee to get your day started perfectly.

It is absolutely tranquil to be placed in six hectares of private gardens, yet you get the best of all worlds since numerous places are only a short drive away.

A short drive from the city of Montpellier, this villa offers fantastic views and plenty to do. We think it's a great choice for families and friend groups – it's bursting with amenities, including all-terrain bikes, a pétanque court, a heated infinity pool, and a gym and sauna. The dedicated office has a double sofa bed for two guests, and there are two EV chargers here for added convenience. We do recommend hiring a car here to make the most of your stay, whether it's exploring Montpellier or the village of Montferrier-sur-Lez, or spending a day at the beach.

The Spritz

Dating back to the 18th century but with plenty of modern comforts, it provides a grand setting for a stay to remember. 

Walking up the stone staircase to the entrance, you'll feel like the lord or lady of the manor. Inside, each room is brimming with history – from the oil paintings to the collection of antique furniture, it's a truly opulent space. Fitness fans can play a game of tennis on the court or organise a workout class in the gym, before plunging into the outdoor swimming pool for a refreshing dip. If you prefer a slower pace, you can wander through twenty acres of parkland, then sweat out your stresses in the sauna or treat yourself to a long soak in the Jacuzzi. And, at the end of the day, the whole group can come together for a decadent meal in the formal dining room – don't forget some local wine too. 

The Natural Regional Park of the Ariège Pyrénées is right on your doorstep, and you can explore the landscapes on foot or on two wheels – your host will even provide eight bicycles. History fans can take their pick from several medieval towns and villages nearby, including Foix, which is a twenty-minute drive away. And, if you want to practice your golf swing, then the nearest course is just five minutes away by car.

This colourful pad in central Montpellier manages a seemingly impossible task – it's right in the thick of the action, yet, tucked away at the back of a residential building with a private terrace, it boasts peace and quiet that's difficult to find in a city.

We expect you'll spend most of your time in the cheerful outdoor space, decked out with a sun lounger, dining table and sofas to encourage true relaxation. Nip out to one of the nearby patisseries each morning, pick up some fresh croissants and take them back home to enjoy in the sunshine. Come evening, switch the coffee for a bottle of sauvignon and continue luxuriating in this restful spot. 

When you're not making the most of your stylish home, step out your front door and discover Montpellier's must-see sights. Place de la Comédie is less than ten minutes away, while the lively neighbourhood of Saint Roch is even closer. If you've travelled by car, journey just fifteen minutes to the stunning sandy beaches of Palavas-les-Flots and La Grande Motte.
