Tucked away in the rolling hills of Languedoc-Roussillon, Ch\u00e2teau & Village Castigno is a hotel within a village, or a village within a hotel depending on your perspective, where, over time this sleepy centuries-old hamlet has slowly been transformed into creative outlets for a passionate community of chefs, artists and designers. Spend your days floating between the tapas bar in the picturesque town square, the bewitching gardens of the Michelin-worthy La Table restaurant, browsing in the art gallery, or striking out with a picnic hamper for a lazy afternoon amidst the vines.<\/p>\n
Ch\u00e2teau & Village Castigno is a perfect base for exploring this under-the-radar part of southern France and makes for a serene stop on a ‘coast-to-coast’ road trip \u2013 midway between Toulouse and Avignon, an hour\u2019s drive from the medieval citadel of Carcassonne, and 40 minutes from the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n
From a vast house built for sharing to a family home, a romantic artist\u2019s loft and 3 individual rooms, there\u2019s a perfect spot for everyone size here. Dotted throughout the village, all are bathed in wine-fuelled reds, purples and pinks with a sultry and bewitching design featuring unique artworks and ornaments collected by the owners on their travels. Each room has a balcony or terrace, perfect for soaking up that golden sunlight, whilst the six-bedroom Maison d\u2019Amis and two-bedroom Villa Rouge each have their own private swimming pools.<\/p>\n
We love the immersion in peaceful village life \u2013 park the car, hide the keys, walk everywhere.\u00a0 Rise early to await the opening of the local boulangerie van or sleep in and let the Castigno chefs deliver a full breakfast spread to you. On market day, borrow one of their fleet of Vespas for a ride into nearby Saint Chinian to stock up on gourmet fare. Then, at harvest time try your hand at grape picking or sign up for a workshop with one of the artisans-in-residence. In the afternoons, the swimming pool beckons while by night there are wines to be sampled over long conversations by the light of the moon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
