VILLAGE CASTIGNO 5* Hotel Narbonne

Slow down and seize the day at Village Castigno, Château Castigno's hybrid hotel creation, a whimsical world of intimate design, charming elegance, tantalising tastes, eco wine and pure, untainted French charm. Bathe in the sweet sophistication of contemporary art, the bold hues of wine with a rich, historical back-story. Combine this with the intimacy of a family-owned foray and organic overtures and you have yourself the vibrant Village Castigno reborn. There is a cosy luxurious nest for every occasion. Accommodation ranges from one and two bedroom wine picker's houses, and quirky converted stables, to a nine bedroom manor. Hotel corridors become twisting cobbled alleyways, where you can bask in the charismatic allure of secluded vine-laden terraces, green velvet views, and leave the temptation of technology behind. Castigno prides itself on its sustainable surprise, with an exquisite range of locally produced ecowines and gourmet fare, from the fine dining at La Table and the daily fresh tapas delicacies at La Petite Table, to the exotic tastes from Le Thaï de Castigno. Guests can bask by the pool, sample our eco wines at intimate wine tasting ceremonies, venture through the labyrinth of vineyards and tuck into picnics. Sociable soirees take place at the organic wine "Bar à Vins" bathing in the glow of the good life. Village Castigno even has its own Art Galerie, hosts artists in residence, and a workshop of ceramics. L'épicerie, chic bazaar offers products dedicated to the art of living, and finally a small house of well-being and relaxation by the candlelight.
