Well-equipped House At Foot of Medieval Cité with Garage, Wifi & 2 Shower rooms

From the entrance lobby at the main door two stairs lead down to the newly-refurbished shower room/WC. Upstairs the first floor has two double bedrooms (one with an additional single bed) and an additional shower/WC. Also on the first floor, the kitchen/diner/lounge includes two large settees, a breakfast bar with four high stools (please bear this in mind if you have younger children), oven and hob, microwave, and a dishwasher. There is a wood-burning stove in the lounge for the winter months and electric panel radiators are throughout the other living areas and staircase. The washing machine is in the utility room in the cellar and the private garage can also be accessed via the cellar. The opening to the garage is 174cm tall and 222cm wide - this is large enough for most cars such as Vauxhall Meriva, Mazda 6, Peugeot 308, Ford Focus, but not for particularly tall cars like SUVs. The garage is 560cm long, so long enough for most cars. There is free parking available in the street and in other very nearby streets.

Free wi-fi, (high definition) Satellite TV, and Playstation 3 with a selection of games and Blu ray movies.

Carcassonne, in South West France, is easily accessible via its own airport with Ryanair flights to London Stansted, Glasgow Prestwick, Liverpool, East Midlands and Bournemouth airport in the UK, Porto in Spain, Dublin and Cork in Ireland, Brussels in Belgium, and Billund in Denmark. Toulouse, Perpignan and Beziers Airports are all a little over an hour away by car with flights to many other European locations.

Carcassonne is one of the most popular tourist attractions in France, with its dramatic medieval Cité (listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1997). Walk along the castle ramparts to get fantastic views of Carcassonne and the surrounding countryside, or visit the Castle itself or the historic Cathedral, dating back to the 11th Century. Numerous excellent restaurants and independent high quality shops are within the walls of the medieval Cité, which are a few minutes walk from the house. Two Michelin-starred restaurants are within 400 metres of the house, one of which is in the Cité itself, the other (two-starred) a few minutes walk along the road.

For those with a car, historic local villages such as Villemoustaussou and Pennautier are within 15 minutes drive. Slightly further away (about 40 minutes) is Narbonne, and a little over an hour away are Toulouse, Beziers, and Perpignan. Alternatively why not take a train to some of these larger cities, or to the seaside resort of Sete, with its long beachfront.

CarcaSUN!
Absolutely wonderful location, within very quick walking distance of La Cite. Owner communication was great, on site support was wonderful. Facilities were good. Lots of nice touches, like providing adapters for sockets! Kitchen facilities were of a very high standard. Don't forget to play Carcassonne!

Good Location but Disappointing Accommodation
We liked the location but the property was very disappointing. The key holder met us at the property and communication was difficult as her English was very limited. To start she had difficulty opening the door, so much so that we only used the garage door, the smell as you entered was very damp and musty. We didn’t use downstairs shower room as the shower enclosure was very ‘mouldy’. The wooden duckboards looked very uninviting. The kitchen was well-equipped. The oven was not clean and the wooden breakfast bar was tacky. The bed linen and pillows look old and the fitted sheet bobbly. The mattresses were about 2 ins deep. The upstairs bathroom was in a poor decorative state but it did function. The garage was a bonus. We enjoyed Carcassonne and made the best of our holiday but, in all honesty, could not recommend this property. I was surprised that Vrbo were displaying it on their site.

Buen sitio con todas las utilidades necesarias y muy cerca de la ciudad medieval
Ha estado todo muy bien. El sitio se ajusta al anuncio y no nos ha faltado de nada. Las instrucciones muy precisas y la persona que nos acogió a la llegada tuvo muchísima paciencia. Además la situación es inmejorable, al pie de las murallas y a menos de 10 minutos andando de la Bastida de San Luis. Un 10.

Bon rapport qualité-prix
La petite maison est pratique, très bien placée et tout à fait agréable pour 3 ou 4 personnes. La communication avec Anna avant l'arrivée était très sympathique et toujours rapide. La remise des clés sur place par des gardiens s'est très bien passée. Les lits sont faits à l'arrivée, ils sont bons, le linge propre, assez d'oreillers et de serviettes de toilette. Nous nous sommes vite sentis comme chez nous. Pratique d'avoir un garage dans cette rue! Des lunettes de toilette de meilleure qualité (pas en plastique) et plus stables seraient un bon investissement pour les 2 WC. De même il serait bon d'expliquer comment s'ouvre la porte du poêle à bois (nous étions là début avril) car nous avons cherché longtemps à deux jusqu'à trouver le mécanisme... Nous pouvons conseiller la maison sans retenue! Le prix est très raisonnable. Merci Anna, Ian et les S.

Very convenient and comfortable
Property was clean and spacious - the garage was a great benefit. Very well positioned just outside the citadel walls, close to the porte d'Aude, with a good épicerie a handy short walk away. 15 minutes to the main town (which had a great market) and a further 5 minutes to the Canal du Midi. Lots of vineyards are in close proximity (by car), with loads of great cycle routes from the house.

Emplacement idéal mais...
Idéalement situé au pied de la cité médiéval de Carcassonne, la propriété n'avait qu'une salle d'eau de fonctionnelle et une toilette fuyait légèrement durant notre séjour. De plus, nous sommes pointilleux sur la propreté générale et ce n'était pas du tout à notre niveau. 😒 À part cela, le reste des prestations était très convenable. 👍

Quel dommage...
Nous avons découvert une belle maison, bien équipée et très bien placée au pied de la cité médiévale. Mais la propreté est vraiment à revoir, nous avons été obligé de faire le ménage à notre arrivée. Notamment la salle du bain du bas qui n'avait pas été faite : douche très sale avec trace de moisi, cheveux et poils sur le sol et dans la douche. Pour ne citer que cela... C'est vraiment dommage !

Great facilities in a wonderful location
The property is accurately described as presented in the HomeAway details. I find it difficult to judge size from photos and was pleasantly surprised. In my opinion, it is spacious, well equipped and fantastically well placed for easy access to the medieval Cite and the 'newer' 13th century Carcassonne town. The owners have provided a very well thought-out and useful house book that answers most of a visitor's questions and I found the caretaker Chantel to be very pleasant and very helpful. Over all I found the house to be light and airy, even the basement where there's loads of space to hang washing that dries well ~ (it had to be done, even on holiday) ~ note the suggestion in the house book re leaving the window open. The kitchen/living area is a good size and 2 adults can easily move around the cooking area. The kitchen has everything one needs to self cater (beware the hidy drawer with the corkscrew) with a 4 ring hob, full sized cooker and dishwasher. There's a good sized fridge freezer in the kitchen and a spare fridge in the basement. All in all there's plenty of cutlery, crockery, glasses and pots and pans for 4 people and that, I find, makes life easier overall. The living space has plenty of space for 4 with 2 sofas that I found very comfortable and a TV. There's also a great selection of games for PS3 and the wherewithall to play them. My own delight was finding the Kate Mosse Languedoc trilogy books in the kitchen. I really enjoyed reading Citadel in the very place the action is set. A couple of very rainy holiday days, a comfy sofa ~ a great diversion. The downstairs bathroom does have a low ceiling, (as noted in some of the reviews I read) but as we're not a tall family it suited us well. The property has the added benefit of a lovely clean garage. We hired a Renault Captur and it was a good fit, it took away all the worry of finding somewhere to park, and leaving the hire car out in the street and possibly out of sight too. There is so much to see in and around Carcassonne it was a real pleasure having a lovely place to stay while we enjoyed it.

Well provisioned, comfortable, and well located
This property enjoys a spectacular location just down the hill from the walls of the old city. It has an exceptionally well-provisioned kitchen, two comfortable bedrooms, and a living area that will accommodate 2-4 people comfortably. Be aware that the local property manager does not speak English, so, if you don’t speak French, there will be communication problems.
