Compare your saved venues →GET TO KNOW THE PLACE
At Domaine Madrona in the Castelnou area, the celebration and the overnight stay have different sizes: 40 event guests and 22 sleeping places are listed. You could bring a smaller group together on site, then arrange nearby rooms for the rest. At the full listed guest count, 18 people would need somewhere else to sleep if everyone stays.
The room information records 10 bedrooms. Ask for the breakdown of doubles, twins, shared rooms and extra beds before allocating places. A sleeping total alone cannot show how different households will fit.
For food, the source says “In-house catering”. Ask for a sample menu and a quote that separates food, drinks and service so you can compare the full cost.
The recorded starting figure is €14,800, described as “Starting figure in the venue listing; package scope must be confirmed”. Use that exact hire period and set of inclusions when comparing quotes. It is a source-listed price from September 2026, not a current offer or the total wedding cost.
The staff or language entry says “French, English”. Agree who will be your contact during planning and who will be present on the day.

A FEEL FOR THE SEASON · 2001–2020 AVERAGES
Our starting suggestion for milder temperatures and lower average rainfall. Your ideal month will also depend on the spaces, guest plans and availability.
Temperature is the monthly mean across day and night (°C), not the afternoon high. Rainfall is an estimated monthly total (mm). Highlighted months are our suggestions.
NASA POWER modelled area climatology, January 2001–December 2020, retrieved 28 September 2026. This is historical climate guidance, not a forecast or a measurement at the venue. The area query is centred at 42.500° N, 2.500° E; the meteorological grid is about 0.5° × 0.625°. Elevation, coast and local shelter can change conditions substantially.
We select the three months with the lowest score: distance of the monthly mean from 20°C, plus twice the average daily precipitation in millimetres. This is an editorial preference for mild, relatively dry conditions, not an official wedding-season rating. Monthly precipitation is mean mm/day multiplied by calendar days, using 28 for February. Always plan an indoor alternative.
View the original NASA POWER data ↗July has the warmest June–August mean in this area dataset, at 20.6°C. For a different seasonal comparison, look at September: its mean is 16.0°C, with about 44 mm of rain over the month.
| Month | Day-and-night mean | Monthly rain |
|---|---|---|
| May | 13.1°C | 59 mm |
| June | 18.1°C | 37 mm |
| July | 20.6°C | 34 mm |
| August | 20.2°C | 38 mm |
| September | 16.0°C | 44 mm |
| October | 12.1°C | 72 mm |
For warmer dates, ask about shade and cooling. For cooler dates, ask about evening shelter and heating. Neither a lower monthly rainfall total nor a suggested month removes the need for an indoor plan.
