Large luxury villa with heated infinity pool, and hot tub in the South of France

Kick back, and relax in this calm, stylish retreat, which sleeps up to ten guests. It is situated in an exclusive part of Aragon; on a hillside residence, bordering onto the Garrigue an area renowned for its outstanding natural beauty, which has one of the most diverse and stunning ecosystems in the South of France. Only 10 minutes from Carcassonne and 15 minutes from the airport, La Maison des Artistes is perfect for groups who are looking for a large, luxury, holiday home.

This modern architect's house has been designed to make the most of the stunning views and local habitat.

If guests are looking for a holiday experience we can arrange a tailor-made holiday - anything from wine tasting to kayaking.

The space
A few of the many highlights of a stay at ‘La Maison des Artistes’:
➢ Set in the beautiful village of Aragon, classed as one of France's prettiest villages
➢ Only 15 minutes from Carcassonne airport, 1 hour from Toulouse airport.

There are hundreds of walks to enjoy right from the doorstep as well as over 400k of mountain bike tracks and tennis courts within a few minutes walk. If guests love combining nature with sport this is the perfect location for you. If you would like to explore the area in a more gentle way you could always hire an electric bike at Collin Bike located in the village or ask us to arrange delivery.

The location offers the perfect combination of town and country as Carcassonne, La Cite, le Canal du Midi and Carcassonne airport are all within a short drive. If you don’t want to venture out during your stay you can head down to the local village shop to buy a fresh baguette and your favourite bottle of local wine, or even enjoy soaking in the atmosphere next to a trickling brook

The area is also a dog walkers paradise so we can accept well-behaved pooches as long as they stay on the ground floor during a guest’s stay. This is at our discretion, please enquire before booking.

Collin Bike and Tapas Bar also hosts live events outside most weekends during summer and is a lovely place to enjoy tapas and a glass of wine whilst taking in the breathtaking views of Aragon nestled in the hills and beyond.

If guests fancy enjoying a gastronomical meal in the village during your stay then we would highly recommend a trip to La Bergerie, a top-rated restaurant run by Chef Fabien Galibert, renowned for his Michelin stars who delights the tastebuds with his cuisine.

If you are looking for a place to completely unwind this is the place for you.

All of the information about the house and area is available in the house - we will also send a useful guide containing our local tips and tricks of Southern France for you to maximise your stay. We want this experience to be once in a lifetime!

This is an amazing villa
What a wonderful holiday at this amazing Villa. Firstly, a big thank you to the owners who were amazing and answered all our queries and were very fair minded when checking out. This really is a luxury apartment and everything was as stated. The pool is excellent as well as the hot tub. The are lots of eating areas and plenty of room to sunbath on the decking. I can recommend taking advantage of the visiting chef - he was excellent. The property has aircon which works extremely well. The kitchen is amazing with every mod con you could want and well appointed with kitchen equipment. The welcome book was very useful and covered everything. There are plenty of fridges and freezers and one outside which was very useful. We were 7 adults and three young children and we fitted in very well and never felt cramped. Some of the walks nearby are very good. I cannot recommend this villa highly enough and we will definitely be returning.

Exceeded our expectations
The house was the perfect setting for our party of 8. The bedrooms were all a good size and with 3 bathrooms and great air conditioning they were perfect. The indoor kitchen and dining area are huge and are the best equipped we have ever had. The outside areas are just outstanding. We used the bbq a couple of times and ate outside every evening. The table tennis was fab and we developed a great love for darts! The pool is to die for. In terms of the area, Collins bar is a 5/10 minute drive away and is open from 5pm for drinks on a hilltop. We had a meal and wine tasting at Logeril (Pennautier) which we loved. There are plenty of pizzerias a short drive away. Clearly a car or two are required. The Wi-Fi is slow but we managed with 6 tech savvy folk (and 2 less so). We would highly recommend

Fantastic holiday
We stayed in the Maison des Artistes for 2 weeks at the end of June and had a fantastic holiday. There were 5 adults and 2 kids in our party and the house had plenty of room for everyone’s differing needs. The photos of the listing are absolutely spot on in terms of accuracy! The outside space really is big. It had plenty of chairs/loungers/covered day beds. Fantastic outside table for al fresco eating. The pool was beautiful. We had a couple of minor issues with the pool during our stay due to a couple of severe storms in the area but Colin and Mel were very prompt at dealing with these. The gas BBQ was spotlessly clean when we arrived, which you often find to not be the case. Internally there is air conditioning in each room. The whole house has electric shutters which are great for blackout blinds to get some good sleep and also keep the house cooler. Beds very comfortable, nice linen wear on all beds. Towels were all brand new. Generous and lovely welcome basket was there for us on arrival. Colin and Mel met us on arrival at the property and gave us a very quick run down and left us to it. They were a pleasure to deal with throughout our stay when we did have any queries or minor issues. Kitchen was very well equipped for large parties, loads of plates, utensils, cookware etc. Good supply of kitchen basics. Lovely toiletries in bathrooms. Very quiet peaceful location. In summary one of the best properties we have ever stayed in over many years of holidaying abroad.
