Heritage Charm Meets Modern Comfort
Pastoreta, which means "wagtail" in Occitan, is a suite full of character. This two-room interconnected suite blends historical soul with modern amenities, restored using local materials: clay plasters, exposed stone, and solid wood flooring.
In the tower section, you will be captivated by the fully restored monumental timber frame and the exceptional volume of the room, soaring over 7 meters (23 feet) high. From your window, enjoy a peaceful view of the property's park and swimming pool.

The Pastoreta suite comfortably accommodates up to 4 people. It features a Queen size bed (160x200 cm / 63x79 in) in the tower area and a single bed (90 x 200 cm). An extra folding bed or a baby cot can be provided upon request (subject to availability).
The two living spaces are interconnected and can be separated by a blackout curtain, making Pastoreta particularly well-suited for couples, small families, or travelers seeking extra space.
