Maison de charme avec vue sur la cité médiévale.

😊: Sandrine was very welcoming & showed us around the villa giving us all the information we needed. Thank you so much for the wine. There was everything we needed during our stay & Sandrine was available if we needed anything. There was wi-fi which worked in the house & also at the pool. The location of the villa was excellent with fantastic views of La Cite from the balcony. It took us around 25 minutes to walk into town & 45 minutes walk to La Cite. It is on a bit of a hill so the walk back took longer in the heat. The pool is approximately 12ft in diameter & was great to cool down in on hot days. The fans were also great to keep cool when in the villa. We were able to park our car on the property behind a lockable gate. We stayed for 2 weeks & had a great holiday..

😊: A quirky cottage on the outskirts of Carcassonne, very much in the old French style. We didn't have too much trouble finding the place although we only knew we were in the right place because we recognised the balcony from the outside. The parking is private and secure behind lockable gates, with room enough for two good size cars. The pool area looked nice although we weren't there long enough to use it. The beds were comfortable and of a good size. The view of Carcassonne from the balcony is amazing (see photo of the old Cité at night). 😢: These are not negatives as such, more advisories: The door to the bathroom couldn't open fully because of furniture in the way and the bathroom itself is very narrow. None of the bedrooms have doors on them. One of the doubles is upstairs from the dining room and has the balcony, the other bedrooms are both downstairs from the main floor. The twin room is at the bottom of the stairs and then the other double room is through and archway from the twin room without even a privacy curtain. The upstairs bedroom has shutters however the downstairs bedrooms do not. We did find some pieces of blackout fabric that were clearly meant to be hung up at the windows in lieu of curtains and we made use of them otherwise there would have been no darkening the rooms. The staircases themselves are curving and slightly wonky. There are lots of steps about the place. Steps up to the front door, steps between the dining room and the sitting room. Stairs up to the main bedroom and down to the other bedrooms and then two steps between the twin room and the double downstairs (see photos of the two staircases) All this is to say, while the cottage is a delightful place to stay, if you have mobility issues this may not be the place for you..
