The Domaine de l'Ardagnole is located near to the small hamlet of Fajac-en-Val, in the heart of the magnificent Corbières hills. Although just 20 km from Carcassonne (show map), l'Ardagnole is tranquility personified, and being elevated, has superb views.The Domaine grounds extend to approximately 72 hectares (about 173 acres), and comprise pasture, deciduous and coniferous woodland, and a small lake.
In addition to the main house (pictured opposite), where the owners live, the cottage is available for letting. The cottage has recently been re-equipped and re-decorated, and provides accommodation for up to five people (four adults, or two adults and three children)
The cottage is let on a weekly basis, and is fully equipped with bed linen, towels etc. It is also available for letting for long weekends out of the high season.
In addition to having access to the estate grounds, and some great walks, sports-minded guests have use of a hard tennis court and basketball net.
The estate is a wildlife lover's paradise, with bird species such as crossbills, crested tits and nightjars. In addition three types of eagle have been seen. Animals include badger, hare, sanglier (wild boar) and two types of deer. In addition, the flora is exceptional, with wild orchids, miniature daffodils and iris, and a profusion of wild thyme.
If you ever tire of the estate and its facilities, there is much to see and do in the surrounding area, from visiting the magnificent restored ancient Cité at Carcassonne, to enjoying the fine restaurants in the region, and last but by no means least, tastings at the numerous wine-making estates, including the Corbières, Cabardès and Minervois appelations.
