of exception
stands still...
and the Mediterranean Sea
in the heart of Occitany and the Catalan country
Facing the Canigou, on the rocky spur of the medieval castle, when Bélesta was the border between the kingdoms of France and Aragon, "La Maison du Château" has a particular historical and patrimonial value.
The building is composed of a patio and four apartments partly adjoining the old medieval walls of the village. During the restoration phase, an old entrance porch to the castle dating from 1767 was uncovered, accessible by a large granite staircase climbing up the rock along the outer rampart. On the inside facades, the main buildings open onto a common courtyard forming a shadowed garden. The cottages are accessible through an old porch overlooking the castle courtyard and the Museum of Prehistory of Bélesta installed in an already renovated part of the castle.
In this setting steeped in Catalan history, 20 minutes from Perpignan, we offer you a subtle alliance of respect for heritage, modernity and a gentle way of life. La Maison du château, combines stone and lime, wrought iron and wood, rustic and design, with the crests of the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean Sea as a scenery backdrop.
Global warming or natural cooling, our eco-responsible commitment has led us to conceive an innovative and opportunistic energy concept:
Low-temperature underfloor heating - Hot water produced from two thermodynamic DHW tanks - Air conditioning, or rather cooling. From an old rainwater recovery tank located in the courtyard, we distribute a refreshing air in the rooms on the basis of the « Free-cooling » principle.
