The Domaine:
Our Cottages are self-contained and offer a high standard accommodation for families, couples, groups or corporate occasions.
Additional facilities are provided in and around the old winery building where guests can lounge and relax on the large luxurious cushioned banquette on the shaded terrace or enjoy the 10m x 5m outdoor free form swimming pool, (which conforms to all of France’s new stringent safety regulations) or simply sit and enjoy the sun.
Domaine des Etoiles the best place in the world for doing nothing yet there is plenty to do.
Domaine des Etoiles was in former times a wine producing Domaine, now lovingly restored by its current owner Steve Hedges to provide an eco friendly family home large enough to accommodate family and friends.
Hot water is produced by solar power and the winter rain water is collected and stored in the 200,000 litre wine coves and used to nourish the garden plants during the long hot summer months.
The Hospitality:
Word got round about Steve's hospitality, friends of friends were asking to visit and very soon Steve had a permanent house party.
Before long, guests wanted to contribute to the running costs and the permanent house party became a business.
The one-time Masters House has become the family home and also provides B&B accommodation, and outbuildings have been transformed into two guest cottages for self-catering rentals.
Steve has travelled widely during many years in the music business and knows first hand that little extra that personalises a holiday.
Domaine des Etoiles gardens can provide a calm environment from which to plan your exploration of the area, somewhere secluded for you to sit and read or simply provide you with the opportunity to relax and listen to the sound of the stream & waterfall whilst enjoying the magnificent views across the enchanting countryside of the Languedoc towards the Pyrenees.
The Aude:
The region produces exciting flavours reflecting the countryside and sunny climate. It is reputed to enjoy not less than 300 days of sunshine each year, with dramatic colour changes of scenery with the seasons. This area is steeped in history, with many Roman spas and buildings, historic villages and towns, and of course the Cathar religion, its castles and mysteries associated with Rennes Le Chateau.
The landscapes vary significantly, with rolling hillsides, forests, gorges, plains and all with the backdrop of the Pyrenees and the Black Mountains.. In all weathers and on all occasions, this countryside is here to be enjoyed.
Located only 90 minutes from the Mediterranean Sea, the Spanish border and the mountains, what can be better than to discover the surroundings of the South of France.
