Overview
Description
Set in an idyllic position on the edge of the enchanting village of Embres et Castelmaure and surrounded by sun drenched limestone hills, lush vineyards and aromatic pines. Built in an upside down fashion to make the most of the breathtaking views across the Corbières mountains to provide light and airy family living space on the first floor and cool bedrooms on the ground floor - very welcome in the height of the summer. If like us you enjoy a rural French ambiance, where the pace of life is slow and uncomplicated, yet if you want your holiday home to offer you the modern luxuries to help make your stay relaxing and comfortable our villa is the place for you! Close to lovely Mediterranean beaches (25-30 mins), and the pretty town of Durban with shops and amenities, the surrounding area is rich in Cathar history, medieval castles, ancient monasteries and beautiful landscapes to drive, walk or cycle through. Autoroute 30 mins & Airports approx 50 minutes away. May, September and October are perfect for those who like to walk the many Corbieres trails and cycle the hills. Our lower price at this time reflects the fact the pool is not open in May or after mid-september.Bedroom Details

Leave ReviewUpside down living experience
By Rob Judge on 31-Aug-2024We stayed in this Villa in early September 2024, having previously stayed in its neighbouring Villa a few years ago. The Villa is located in a very quiet location. The bedrooms, and shower rooms, are situated on the ground floor as you enter the Villa, the kitchen and living accommodation being on the first floor, where the large windows afford good views over the area. The Villa is very well equipped and comfortable. Perhaps one thing to mention is the track leading to the Villa off the main road is quite long and bumpy, and not ideal for low-slung sporty cars. Luckily, we took my partner's Renault Clio which just about coped!
Our Stay at Villa Syrah
By Dave & Sue Harper on 27-Jul-2024Villa Syrah is on the outskirts of a village, nestled in the Corbieres. The villa is upside down and with the heat it was very welcomed.. Pool was fantastic and the house was well stocked. We enjoyed our visits from the wildlife., a bat, gekos and swifts.. very good base for exploring the surrounding area and markets.

Embres-et-Castelmaure - beautiful villa
By Amanda B. on 23-Jul-2023We had an amazing stay here. It’s a beautiful villa which was equipped with everything you could need. Debbie was really helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Lots to do in the area as long as you have a car.
Fabulous modern villa
By Helen M on 15-Jul-2023Wonderful stay at this villa with three large bedrooms downstairs, which works well keeping rooms cool. The master king-size has a large ensuite. The other bedrooms are spacious twins sharing a large bathroom with walk-in shower. Water pressure in the villa is very good. The beds are incredibly comfortable. Upstairs is huge with vaulted open-plan kitchen/living space. Plenty of kitchen cupboard space and kitchenware for self-catering. The appliances (hob/fridge freezer/washing machine/dishwasher) are in very good condition. There are two large sofas in the living area, plus TV and DVD. Plenty of fans helped to keep the rooms cool. The property also has external electric shutters and internal window blinds. The villa has fabulous views, nestled in vineyards within a small hamlet. The cooperative wine cave is a must, especially their pop-up restaurant during July/August (booking recommended). We travelled with three teenagers, and they LOVED the villa. The pool was a big hit with plenty of sun-loungers, etc, for outside living. Wi-Fi is available at the property (a big plus for us). Debbie and Peter are wonderful hosts, and a pleasure to deal with. We had a fabulous time. The weather was amazing (as was the local wine!).
A wonderful Property
By Sarah N on 13-Sep-2022We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. The location is so peaceful with beautiful views of the hills and surrounded by vineyards. The house is situated in a quiet village with plenty of interesting places to visit by car . We had fantastic weather during our stay and managed a wine tour , some lovely walks on the Corbieres trails and even a day on the beautiful beach at Leucate Plage. The house is very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. We had such a relaxing time enjoying the local food and wine . Would definitely recommend this wonderful property and hope to return in the near future.
