CASTELNOU

Nestled at the foot of the majestic Pyrenees, Castelnou is an exceptional countryside estate offering an idyllic retreat for families and larger groups. Surrounded by breathtaking natural scenery, the property accommodates up to twenty-two guests across nine beautifully appointed double bedrooms and a charming attic room designed especially for children. Each principal bedroom features a stylish en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower, while two also include luxurious bathtubs for added comfort.

Rich in character, the interiors celebrate the property’s farmhouse heritage with exposed 13th-century stone walls, traditional timber beams, and warm wooden flooring. Expansive windows flood the living spaces with natural light while framing spectacular views of the Pyrenees and the estate’s beautifully landscaped gardens, creating a welcoming atmosphere that blends rustic authenticity with refined comfort.

Set within a remarkable 235-acre private estate surrounded by a 100-hectare Mediterranean pine forest, Castelnou offers complete tranquillity and endless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. Meandering rivers, rolling hills, and peaceful woodland provide a stunning natural backdrop, while a variety of outdoor living spaces encourage guests to embrace the relaxed pace of country life. A spacious balcony and elevated sun deck overlook the flourishing vegetable garden, offering peaceful spots to unwind throughout the day.

At the heart of the gardens, a generous 12 x 5 metre swimming pool is surrounded by an expansive terrace with comfortable sun loungers, a solar shower, and shaded dining areas perfect for leisurely al fresco lunches. Beneath the pergola, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with a barbecue grill creates the ideal setting for relaxed evenings spent cooking and dining together under the Mediterranean sky.

Dedicated villa staff are available to help curate unforgettable experiences throughout your stay, from arranging wine tastings at nearby vineyards and private cooking classes to organising excursions to the beautiful Mediterranean coastline. Several sandy beaches, many with excellent beach clubs, are approximately thirty minutes away by car, offering the perfect destination for families to relax while children enjoy the warm sea. Guests can also explore the surrounding countryside on guided walks and hiking excursions into the foothills of the Pyrenees, making Castelnou an exceptional base for discovering this beautiful and diverse region of southern France.
