A Hidden Gem in the Pyrénées Orientales

Domaine Madrona, near the historic village of Castelnou, is a lovingly restored 13th-century farmhouse surrounded by the stunning natural beauty of the Eastern Pyrenees. Welcoming up to 22 guests, this unique retreat offers an unforgettable blend of relaxation, adventure, and connection. Your experience is yours to design. Our team is on hand to prepare meals, arrange outings, and provide the care you need to make your stay effortless. From hiking and mountain biking to exploring nearby art, culture, and Mediterranean beaches, we can help to make sure every activity is tailored to your interests.

If you prefer peace and quiet, the estate’s 235 acres offer a sanctuary of forests, rivers, and hills. Walk, unwind by the pool, or stargaze as our private chef creates meals using the best organic local produce. Enhance your stay with olive oil tastings at Querubi or yoga in a tranquil setting.

At Domaine Madrona, we invite you to relax, explore, and reconnect—at your own pace, in your own way.
