Home description

Peacefully situated on the edge of the winegrowing village Embres et Castelmaure in the Languedoc region of Southern France, this spacious and well-equipped house is the perfect location for a relaxing holiday. The "Cave cooperative" in the village is renowned for its excellent wines.

La Ferrache 's large private pool is surrounded by south facing stone terrasses that offer a stunning view to the Corbières hills. The beautiful walled garden with stone paths contains a variety of mature trees and shrubs, including olive trees and oleanders that provide shade and privacy. With tiled floors, exposed beams and tastefully decorated throughout, the house offers accommodations for 6-8 people mainly on one level. The large living room has a fireplace, TV, DVD and stereo equipment, a well-stocked library with books in English, French and German, children’s books and games. There is a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, fridge/freezer, microwave, gas stove top, electric oven, coffee maker and toaster. Washing machine and dryer are located just off the kitchen. There is an additional shower room and WC in the basement.

A short drive from airports at Carcassonne, Perpignan, Toulouse and Montpellier, Embres et Castelmaure is located in the heart of the Corbières. It is a traditional wine growing village surrounded by beautiful hills dotted with vineyards and inviting for walks. The area enjoys an almost perfect climate with over 300 days of sunshine annually, marked by long hot summers and brief, mild winters. The Cathar castles of Queribus, Peyrepertuse and Villerouge-Termenès and the medieval monasteries of Lagrasse and Fontfroide, examples of the area’s rich history, invite to sightseeing nearby. The blue beaches of the Mediterranean (Leucate, La Franqui, Port la Nouvelle) with their tourist activities and the 'etangs' (lagoons) famous for their pink flamingoes and other water birds are just a short drive away.
