About the villa

From the outside, this centuries-old wine ‘cuve’ is still sturdily, albeit beautifully, traditional. So the inside comes as a sublime surprise, right from the double height reception hall, bright white and minimalist, to the sleek steel and clean lines of the kitchen/diner, and the airy living room with huge white sofas, silvery blue fabrics, an old stone fireplace and convivial bar. A fabulous place for get-togethers of family and friends, the house also has a cinema room and an informal TV/games room, its built-in benches piled with cushions.  Bedrooms are stylishly furnished and artfully uncluttered. Six in the main house include the romantic master suite with its in-room bath and en suite shower, while two in the Guest Apartment share a handy kitchenette. Outside are lavender scented gardens, a shaded terrace for lunching and lounging, and a courtyard with al fresco kitchen and 18th century fireplace, perfect for barbecues under the stars. La Cuve also boasts a private tennis court and swimming pool, and is perfectly placed for a feast of outdoor pursuits. It is 12km from restaurants and shops in the villages of Lagrasse and Fabrezan.

About the area

Languedoc

Average weather

Languedoc-Roussillon holidays take foodies, nature lovers, and Medieval history fans deep into French Catalonia. Spanish tapas bars reign in sunny Perpignan, former home to the kings of Majorca. Sand dunes play backdrop to a sweeping coastline in the Catalan village of Toreilles, home to one of the wildest beaches on the Mediterranean. And the beauty of sun-parched Carcassonne, Europe's largest Medieval walled city, is rivalled only by the Sun King's mountain citadel in Villefranche-de-Conflent. If you're a gastronome, head to Toulouse for meaty sausage, Pyrenean lamb and creamy duck cassoulet - best washed down with local Corbières red wine.
