If you are looking for calm, relaxation and authenticity, the estate will offer you the charm of a “typically Languedocian house” overlooking the plain of the Minervois just 15 kilometers from Carcassonne. Nestled in the hills, surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, the building stands out at the end of the path as a small village built around a beautiful square courtyard, a place of welcome and conviviality. The interior decoration enhances the spirit and the antiquity of the place, while preserving the space, the brightness in order to give a feeling of well-being and freedom. With 130 hectares of wild landscapes, La Villatade offers many walks for hikers. Better than a swimming pool, an old 18th century irrigation basin has been restored. The water is natural and offers the luxury of swimming in a 26-meter long pool in the middle of a park with Mediterranean essences. Five cottages that can accommodate 27 people: Stay with family or friends, or lovers! To preserve your privacy, our cottages are completely independent.
