LE DOMAINE

A private domaine in the Corbières hills, set amongst acres of unspoilt Mediterranean landscape. 

Domaine de la Vène is a family home in the foothills of the Pyrenees, discovered by James and his family in 1999 and restored slowly and thoughtfully over the years that followed. Furnished with Georgian, Victorian, and French antique pieces gathered over a lifetime of travel and curiosity, the result is a home that feels both grand and full of character.

The estate sleeps twenty-two guests across the main house and the adjoining Bergerie Cottage, and works beautifully in every season, from the long, warm days of summer to the cooler months when three fireplaces make it just as welcoming an escape.

A family-run home

The domaine has been James and his family’s home since 1999 and that sense of personal care runs through everything, from the antiques on the walls to the welcome you receive on arrival.

  • « La plus belle villa dans un cadre privé exceptionnel. Idéale pour passer un week-end entre amis ou en famille. Nous avons adoré profiter de la piscine et de l'espace repas en plein air. Les chambres étaient magnifiquement décorées et originales ; la plupart disposaient d'une salle de bains privative et offraient suffisamment d'espace pour nous accueillir tous. La villa est également très bien située pour visiter Carcassonne et faire le plein de pâtisseries le matin. »

  • Un petit coin de paradis sur terre ! Rosie et James nous ont accueillis dans cette magnifique demeure avec beaucoup de gentillesse et de générosité. La maison et le domaine sont encore plus beaux en vrai. Nous avons profité de l'emplacement pour nous détendre tout en découvrant Carcassonne et ses environs. La qualité des installations a été bien supérieure à nos attentes".
