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.

Fantastic location for the Walled Medieval City.

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!

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.

Great location and it was so nice to have the garage. We had a lovely time and enjoyed so many day trips options around Carcassonne

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.

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.
