Basecamp Pyrenees

ARLES-SUR-TECH

This welcoming and magnificent medieval estate, located on the Pyrenean slopes, has been lovingly restored, stone by stone, from a 300 year-old Catalan farmstead, to become one of the most innovative ecological hotels in Europe.

At Can Rigall, you can enjoy a most spectacular view of the Pyrenees whilst swimming in the natural pool cut into the rocks. Indulge yourself in the rich local cuisine, with home cooked Catalan dinners prepared by our hotel chef using fresh vegetables and herbs from the organic garden. Enjoy comfortable nights in our stylishly decorated and individually designed rooms, all furnished with heavenly beds where you will sleep like a medieval prince or princess.

Perched high on an alpine meadow, 840 meters above sea-level, the Mediterranean coast with its picturesque coastal towns, historic cities and fabulous beaches are still only an hour away.
Or journey inland where the rich Cathar history is hugely evident with imposing castles and fortresses littered around the area. After a trek on the lush mountain slopes, or a charming lunch in the village of Ceret, you will love coming back to the relaxed atmosphere of Can Rigall, influenced by thousands of years of cultural and mythical history of the Catalan area.
Savor a glass of wine on the terrace or at the swimming pool with breath-taking views of nearby Pic du Canigou. Enjoy the silence and reflection of the loft library, the open hearted conversations triggered by the fireplace, or the numerous local stories told around the grand oak dinner table.
The intimacy of this luxury hideaway accommodates individuals, couples, small groups or even the opportunity to reserve the entire building. Rest assured that there will be a maximum of 24 guests to share this paradise at any one time.
