A spacious retreat among hills and forests

France Gaja-la-Selve paid

Rural Languedoc’s open hills, wooded paths and distant Pyrenees give Domaine le Puget a distinctly spacious feel. The estate covers 24 acres, with a lake and forests on the grounds, while a swimming pool and dedicated yoga studio add places to gather or unwind between activities. This is a retreat setting with room for both small groups and larger gatherings: the farmhouse and auberge together accommodate up to 18 guests across eight double or twin rooms, many with en-suite bathrooms. Beyond the estate, the region’s medieval towns and markets invite day trips, and the surrounding countryside lends itself to cycling and horse riding. Winter visitors can also find skiing in the wider area. Retreat schedules and activities depend on the group’s plans, so check with the host before booking if you have a particular practice or outing in mind.
