Beautiful, contemporary 2 bed villa with private pool & stunning views

Villa Tamaris, under new ownership, is five minutes walk away from the centre of the village of Durban Corbieres near Narbonne and Perpignan and 30 mins drive from the glorious beaches of the Mediterranean. It is a short drive from the airports of Carcassonne, Béziers and Perpignan , a little further to Toulouse and Girona [Northern Spain]
The villa has a stunning panoramic view over the beautiful Corbiere Hills that stretch from the Mediterranean to the Spanish border and are steeped in Cathar history.
The area has long hot summers and mild winters with a wealth of castles, ancient monasteries, medieval cities and beautiful beaches.
Villa Tamaris is five minutes' walk from the centre of the lovely village of Durban Corbieres with a supermarket, boulangerie, bank, pharmacy, restaurant, bar and cave cooperative. There is also an organic wine producer a couple of minutes' walk away! The wines are excellent and very good value.
The villa is equipped to a very high standard with a brand new contemporary kitchen and new furniture.

The kitchen is equipped with: Electric hob and oven, fridge freezer, dishwasher, microwave, electric kettle, cafetiere, toaster and many other conveniences.

The living area is comfortably appointed and is complete with TV (with English TV channels and for use with Firestick) and DVD. Double French sliding doors open out onto a teak deck surrounding the private swimming pool, barbeque and outdoor seating area, which are south facing and sunny all day.

The dining area is part of the overall open plan living space with a large dining table, 6 chairs and is fully equipped with crockery, glassware, utensils and a stunning view of the Cathar castle which is lit up at night.

Eating out is a gastronomique delight with restaurants varying from a three-star Michelin in Fontjoncouse to local restaurants proving exceptional cuisine at reasonable prices
Resort description
Visitors can immerse themselves in the ancient history of the area. Medieval castles like Chateau Queribus and Chateau Peyrepertuse sit high on mountainous outcrops commanding the area around them. The beautiful walled city of Carcassonne is a must to visit as are the monasteries at Lagrasse and Fontfroide. This area is Cathar country and historians will find a wealth of history to savour and enjoy. Nearby Narbonne and Beziers have a wonderful array of shops and fresh food markets. Just 15-20 minutes away is the lovely town of Sigean with its highly rated African Reserve. the nearest beaches of Le Franqui and Leucate are only 30 minutes away by car with beaches which stretch for miles and safe swimming in the Mediterranean waters.
Windsurfing and other maritime pursuits are also available.
There are lovely seafood restaurants along the promenades. Horse riding, golf, tennis and sailing are all within easy reach and the local hills are criss-crossed with delightful paths for hill walking. The Villa is an ideal base for skiing and winter sports for those who wish to travel to the Pyrenees skiing resorts and the famous principality of Andorra.
Wine in the Languedoc is fast becoming an important wine region and a tour round the region and the locality offer to the Chateau and Caves/cooperatives offer exceptional quality and affordable prices.

The villa is a new venture for us and we have replaced much of the furniture and installed a brand new kitchen. Some of the pictures are therefore older and don't show the lovely new kitchen and living room furniture we have installed.

Beautiful house with lovely pool and fantastic location
We had a wonderful week at Villa Tamaris. The house is well laid out and well furnished, the views and location are absolutely amazing. The pool and outdoor area are just perfect. The owners have been very good at communication and were very helpful with hints and tips for our stay and their local concierges made sure everything was explained and the house was spotless on our arrival. The local village is delightful and there are plenty of very decent local wineries to work your way round. The village is an easy walk down the hill and there are loads of local footpaths and walks through the hills and vineyards surrounding Durban.

Nice two week stay in this pretty villa. Plenty to do in the area, and very hot weather every day. We cycled, went running, and visited Narbonne, Perpignan, Carcassonne, Bezier, and cadaques in Spain (among other places) , and various amazing Cathar castles (Peyrepertuse and Queribus), beaches and did some gorge swimming! And of course swam in the pool at the house! Really enjoyed our visit.

Très belle vu, mais dommage que le lieu soit loin de tout pour notre part mais nous avons passés un bon séjour malgré qu'une piscine chauffée aurait été mieux sachant le lieu très venté.

Super vacances !
Nous avons passé de super vacances à la villa Tamaris. Location identique aux photos et très propre, lits faits à l'arrivée. Le village est à quelques minutes à pied. La maison est très bien localisée pour visiter la région où il y a des tas de choses à faire : châteaux, randonnées, parc animalier, gorges et grottes, ... La vue de la maison est magnifique!

Séjour très agréable
La maison est exactement comme sur les photos, elle offre tout le confort possible. Située dans un lotissement très calme il est parfaitement conçu pour être chez soi, sans aucun vis-à-vis, cette maison est idéale pour 4 personnes. La piscine est de bonne dimension et la vue sur le château et le corbières est splendide. Toute la famille a aimé ces 2 semaines sous le soleil des Corbières.
