Welcome to the Domaine de Castillou

In Cathar Country, between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean, Le Castillou is a 120-hectare estate featuring forests, olive groves, and fields of aromatic plants (lavender, thyme, rosemary...), which have been cultivated organically for 40 years and distilled into essential oils. At the heart of the estate stands our 13th-century medieval building with its tower, chapel, and park, along with an orchard, hiking trails, and a large swimming pool (15m x 6m). Tastefully and elegantly decorated, our interiors are designed to accommodate 15 people (please contact us for larger groups). Our carefully restored vacation rental features, among other things, 6 bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, a game room, and a terrace with a barbecue.
Our estate is perfect for guests of all ages, nature lovers and hikers, those who enjoy sports (water sports, mountain biking, equestrian activities), cultural excursions (the City of Carcassonne, Cathar Castles, the Galamus Gorges, Rennes-le-Château…), and those seeking relaxation and wellness. Castillou hosts and organizes various types of events such as concerts, shows, weddings (110 m² reception hall; tents, stages, and equipment can be set up in the grounds to accommodate up to 250 guests), corporate seminars, art workshops, and aromatherapy training courses, among others. We welcome groups on a self-catering, half-board, and full-board basis. Refined cuisine prepared with local and organic ingredients.
