From the moment you arrive through the beautiful Andalusian courtyard, the property reveals its unique character. Antique doors, traditional azulejos, noble materials and carefully curated details create an atmosphere that is both elegant and relaxed. The generous 400 m² of living space allows up to 20 guests to enjoy both convivial gathering areas and private retreats.
The heated 12 x 5 metre saltwater swimming pool sits at the heart of the landscaped garden and is secured with both a gate and protective cover, making it ideal for families with children. The outdoor spaces have been designed for long summer days and memorable evenings, featuring a gas barbecue, plancha, pétanque court, and multiple areas for dining and relaxing.
Families are particularly well catered for. Children will love the large dormitory playroom, complete with games, reading corners, oversized armchairs and plenty of space to play. Three baby cots, a high chair and a changing table are also available.
Villa Blanca is equally suited to professional events, team retreats, workshops, product launches, photo shoots and filming projects. Its proximity to Montpellier and its international airport makes arrivals effortless for guests travelling from France or abroad. The property offers parking for up to 20 vehicles within the grounds, while an additional public car park is located just three minutes away on foot.
The location strikes a perfect balance between accessibility and nature. Within a two-minute walk guests will find tennis and padel courts, a BMX track, and direct access to beautiful hiking trails leading into the surrounding countryside. The historic centre of Castries, with its cafés, restaurants and local market, is only moments away.
Fully air-conditioned throughout and thoughtfully equipped, Villa Blanca is a destination in itself: a sophisticated yet welcoming home where large groups can gather, celebrate, work, create and relax in complete comfort.
A truly exceptional property for those seeking space, style and convenience just minutes from Montpellier.

Local Area
Villa Blanca sits in the village of Castries, perched between the vineyards of the Languedoc and the garrigue-covered hills of the Hérault.
Castries is a village of quiet substance. The Château de Castries, sometimes called the “little Versailles of Languedoc” dominates the village with its 17th-century gardens designed by Le Nôtre, the same landscape architect behind Versailles. The monumental aqueduct that feeds its grounds was built by Pierre-Paul Riquet, the engineer behind the Canal du Midi. Medieval lanes, historic façades, and a genuine village life complete the picture.
To the north, the limestone peak of Pic Saint-Loup rises sharply above the surrounding hills, a defining landmark of the Hérault, threaded with hiking trails and flanked by exceptional AOC vineyards.
Château de Castries & Le Nôtre gardens: a few minutes on foot
Pic Saint-Loup: approximately 20 minutes
Montpellier city centre: approximately 20 minutes
Montpellier Airport: approximately 25 minutes
Mediterranean beaches (Palavas, La Grande-Motte): approximately 30 minutes
Sète: approximately 45 minutes
Nîmes & the Pont du Gard: approximately 50 minutes
Camargue (Aigues-Mortes): approximately 50 minutes
A car is recommended to explore the surrounding area, garrigue trails, vineyard routes, historic villages, and the coastline are all within comfortable reach.
Villa Blanca offers a rare combination: a village address steeped in history, the energy of a great southern city just minutes away, and the Mediterranean never far beyond the hills.
