About this property

Wonderful holiday home in Southern France - stylish with private pool and garden

Our beautiful and lovingly maintained "Maison La vie est belle" is not just a holiday home with a private pool and Mediterranean garden. Here you are on holiday in the home of friends. Built in 1825 as a former pharmacy and village doctor's house, this Maison de Maître has always welcomed its guests with authentic charm, warmth and tranquillity. It is only a few steps from the house to the Gault&Millau restaurant "Laluciole" or the Chateau Luc of the Fabre winegrowing family.

This unique country house, furnished with great attention to detail, offers everything you would expect from a high-quality holiday home on 3 floors. The house has 4 equally sized bedrooms, a large dining and living room as well as a separate kitchen. All rooms are extremely spacious and the house is fully equipped so that everyone can enjoy their stay in peace. Due to its location in the village centre, this country house with its hidden garden, the large saltwater pool and the view of the old trees of the castle park is a place of peace and discretion. Various terraces and seating areas offer retreats in the shade or in the sun. Everything here is designed to ensure relaxation and well-being for an unforgettable holiday.
We take the issue of sustainability particularly to heart. We have had our own solar system for 2 years and also have a charging station for your electric car in the garage.

The surrounding area gives you every opportunity to explore the Occitanie region of France. Start your journey in Narbonne (20 km), the second largest city after Rome in Roman times, with its historic city centre, market halls, unfinished cathedral and the recently opened, very interesting archaeological museum "Narbovia" (architect: Norman Foster). The wide sandy beaches of Gruissan and Narbonne-Plage are just 7 kilometres from Narbonne, behind the La Clape hills. Don't miss the breathtaking visit to the Cathar castles or the abbey of Fontfroide (12km) and Lagrasse (18km), which will leave you with unforgettable memories. Equally magical is the Canal du Midi (8 km) - a World Heritage Site, perfect for wonderful walks, boat and bike tours. Carcassonne (40 km) and its majestic medieval castle are an unmissable excursion for young and old, especially during the Medieval Games in July/August. The African reserve of Sigean (35 km) is also suitable for the whole family. Hiking on the Alaric (12km), you can enjoy an incredible 360-degree view from the Montagne Noire, the Mediterranean over the Haute Corbieres to the Pyrenees.

In this unique holiday property, you will experience an unforgettable holiday in south-west France.
And if you want to be completely pampered, then ask us about the all-inclusive package, where we can cater for and serve you throughout your stay. Just the way you like it.

We look forward to your visit.

About the host

Hosted by Ulrich Tacke

Host profile image
We have been living and working in Luc since the beginning of 2021, but have been the proud owners of this wonderful house since 2008. We have lived and worked in many countries (Germany, Poland, England, USA, Ukraine, Switzerland). Today we are self-employed as coaches and mediators. Our dream was to find a place for our souls after years of moving around, and we immediately fell in love with this house. With its old tiles, doors and fireplaces, it has retained the charm of the last centuries, now combined with all the comforts of modern digital living.

We rent out individual rooms with breakfast (Bed&Breakfast/Chambres d’hôtes) and the whole house for longer periods. During long-term rentals we do not live in the house.

Why they chose this property

The house is special because of its charm. It is a real family home and not a holiday home only nicely made for rentals. You will feel at home.

And additionally, the Occitanie region offers excursion destinations for every taste. Historical towns and castles, impressive monasteries and cathedrals as well as authentic weekly markets are waiting to be discovered.

Sport activities:
When it comes to sportive activities, almost no wish remains unfulfilled. There are tennis courts (in the village) and a large boules court. Cycling, fishing, canoeing and hiking are possible throughout the area. For a round of golf, head to Narbonne. The mediterranean sea with its water sports and extensive sandy beaches of Gruissan and Narbonne Plage are only 38km away.

Cuisine and wines:
Enjoy the magic of the “cuisine du terroir”, which in Occitania offers an unexpected variety of vegetable and fish dishes. The small village of Luc sur Orbieu alone has some excellent winegrowers and the Fabre family at Chateau de Luc is one of the largest organic winegrowers in Europe. The selection and quality of wines in the Corbières and adjacent Minervois offers a drop for every taste. Come and enjoy what your heart desires.
