About Loustalviel  

Le Domaine de Loustalviel is a picturesque hamlet of three 19th century restored farmhouses nestled in the heart of southern France. It is located just outside the small village of Pech-Luna.

It offers two self-catering holiday gîtes, Loustal Beau and L’Ostalet, along with the main house (available for special occasions or larger groups).

The Domaine is set in the rolling landscape of Occitanie, near the foothills of the Pyrenees. It boasts three acres of secluded lawns and award-winning gardens for guests to enjoy, along with private terraces for outdoor dining and barbecues.

The large heated swimming pool has spectacular views of the mountains. The pool is heated from April-October (but open to cold water swimming enthusiasts in winter months!)

There are many activities to suit all ages, and Carcassonne and Toulouse airports are both within an hour’s drive away.
