Vélo Maison - Three Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 6

A peaceful family retreat in a historic French village in the heart of the Corbières, surrounded by vineyards, hiking trails, and scenic cycling routes right on your doorstep. The Mediterranean coast is just a 45-minute drive away, making day trips to the sea easy.

A renowned local restaurant is just moments away, along with a village shop for everyday essentials and a pharmacy. Set on a peaceful, car-free street, the property benefits from parking within a short walk throughout the village.

The beautiful French front door opens into a thoughtfully renovated open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space, finished to a high standard. The dining area comfortably seats six, while the well-equipped kitchen and pantry provide everything needed for relaxed, at-home meals. The living area offers a cosy place to unwind, complete with a TV and fireplace.

On the second floor, you’ll find two spacious double bedrooms, each with stylish wardrobes and air conditioning. One bedroom features a queen bed, while the second includes a daybed that can be extended into a queen. A separate toilet and sink are conveniently located on this floor.

The third floor, also air-conditioned, offers a bright and versatile space ideal for both work and play space, with a dedicated desk area. The tranquil primary bedroom features a king-size bed, wardrobe, and beautiful views across the village church, rooftops, surrounding landscape, and rolling vineyards. This floor also includes a generous family bathroom with a walk-in shower, sink, and toilet, along with a laundry nook equipped with a washing machine.

Guests have access to the entire home.

There is plenty of free, easily accessible street parking throughout Montlaur. Guests are also welcome to drive directly up to the house to drop off luggage before parking nearby.

With breathtaking views of the Corbières, hiking is equally rewarding. A walk through the Gorges du Congoust leads to the nearby swimming spot at Ribaute swimming hole—perfect for a refreshing dip on a warm day.

For something a little different, horse riding adventures are also available right here in the village, offering a unique way to explore the surrounding landscape.

The beautiful village of Lagrasse is just 15 minutes away. The Canal du Midi can be accessed at Trèbes (also 15 minutes away), where you’ll find a lively weekly market and canal-side cafés and restaurants. The historic Cité de Carcassonne is just 20 minutes away, offering both old and new town centres and remarkable architecture.

For a day by the sea, the charming coastal town of Gruissan is around 40 minutes away. Perpignan—the gateway to the Catalan region—is just 45 minutes away, and the Spanish border is within easy reach, with Girona approximately a two-hour drive.
