Maison Charvin - Vier Schlafzimmer Villa, Schläft 8

Beyond a pair of tall French iron gates lies Maison Charvin, a beautifully restored home in the old part of Montlaur, a characterful wine-producing village in the Corbières.
This elegant 4-bedroom abode exudes period charm and French character, offering a warm base for families or friends seeking authentic southern French living. Two of the bedrooms feature their own living areas and all four bedrooms have an en suite bath or shower and WC. Downstairs, a refined dining room and incredibly well-equipped kitchen invite long, indulgent meals, while the living room offers UK Internet TV and Wi-Fi for relaxed evenings.


The courtyard is a true delight, enclosed by stone walls adorned with jasmine and climbing roses, its antique stone troughs brimming with lavender and geraniums. The private 7m x 3m pool promises the chance to cool down, with the added convenience of a pool shower and WC. A dining table waits under the evening sky, perfect for lingering over a bottle of local wine.


Life in Montlaur moves at a pleasingly gentle pace. Within a two-minute stroll, you will find the acclaimed Vins de Dagne restaurant, a tapas/pizzeria restaurant, a café bar and a general store. The village’s weekly market celebrates the region’s fresh produce, beer and wine, especially in the summer months, while nearby Carcassonne, just 24km away, offers its UNESCO-listed medieval citadel, bustling squares and a lively programme of cultural events.


The surrounding region offers endless opportunity for exploration, from the storybook beauty of Lagrasse to the renowned vineyards of Corbières and Minervois, and the winding Canal du Midi. Whether it is horse riding, wine tasting, mountain walks or simply relaxing in the flower-filled courtyard, Maison Charvin places it all within easy reach.
