Château & Village Castigno - Sustainable Wine Resort ★★★★★

Any lovers of the quaint villages scattered around the South of France will rave of their never-ending charms, from the delicious local cuisine to the sun-drenched days meandering down charming cobbled lanes. But, what if the discovery of such places didn’t have to be just a visit – what if you could actually stay there? And not just in a hotel, but the whole village itself? Welcome to the Château Castigno.

The tranquil village of Assignan simply oozes French charm. Traditional stone buildings line the streets and squares as the warmth of the southern sun shines down. Surrounded by vineyards, it’s the ideal location for a peaceful holiday amidst the stunning Languedoc countryside – an opinion evidently shared by the Flemish couple who renovated the entire village into an authentically luxurious five-star holiday destination.

Dotted around the village are various accommodation options, each as charming and rustic as the next. VeryChic are delighted to offer the Grâce des Anges rooms. It’s certainly not hard to make yourself at home in these sumptuous rooms, which boast a super king-sized bed and amenities such as a Nespresso machine, as well as enjoying access to a beautiful private garden and pool.

Forget plain old corridors: the hallways of this establishment are the gorgeous cobbled streets themselves, leading you around to the top-quality facilities of the village. A particular highlight is the food; tempt your taste buds with gastronomic delights under the twinkling fairy lights of La Table, or satisfy your adventurous side by devouring freshly grilled fare al fresco at the Nomad Kitchen. With all this, plus a plethora of excursions available to discover the local area, you’re well and truly taken care of at the luxurious Château Castigno.
