Domaine de Castell de Blés: Romantic, Family-Friendly Retreat

Domaine de Castell de Blés is a rustic yet stylish mansion house that offers a romantic, peaceful retreat and family-friendly getaway. Walking through the grounds, centennial trees flank pretty terraces and a crystalline swimming pool where lazy days can be spent. Surrounding, ancient vineyards line verdant landscapes, orchards bloom with peaches and apricots, and majestic horses graze in fields beneath an idyllic Pyrenean mountain backdrop. The elegant mansion’s interior emanates a chic retro vibe.

Unusual artifacts pepper the lobby and games room, and a sweeping red-carpeted staircase leads to guest rooms and suites. A peaceful reading area offers respite from the midday sun, and myriad terrace spaces allow you to soak up picturesque vistas of the great outdoors. Activities can be enjoyed inside and outside the boutique hotel, with beauty treatments available poolside or in your room; plus, there are walking, cycling, fishing, and even helicopter rides on offer.

Focus on sustainability

Figs

Like the fig tree roots, the property is constantly addressing many sustainable tourism areas and excelling in most fields.

With its 2 hectares domain of greenery, Domaine Castell de Blé offers to experience nature.

  • The restored building kept the traditional architecture features adapted to the climate: thick stone walls, wood ceilings. The rooms are furnished sustainably giving a “second life” to the furniture.
  • The domain is ticking all eco-friendly boxes: no single-use plastic, renewable energy systems are installed, waste water is treated and reused while trimmings and food are composed.
  • Sustainability is making the guest’s experience unique as you are invited to enjoy fresh eggs from the domain, and fresh local produce for the evening’s tapas and barbecue.
  • You could also enjoy the company of the domain’s chicken, horses, and peacocks. Sustainability as an experience!

Explore the location

Set on the outer fringes of Saint-Génis-des-Fontaines, 25 minutes’ drive south of Perpignan and 15 minutes from sandy beaches of Argelès-Sur-Mer, Castel de Blés is in a prime location from which to explore the romantic Occitanie region. Explore the town’s Romanesque church and former Benedictine Abbey of Saint-Michel, delve deep into medieval history at nearby Elne, or venture to the coast and marvel at cobbled streets and scenic views of Collioure which captured the canvasses of Picasso and Matisse.
