The Carcassonne holiday house is simply but stylishly decorated with traditional provençale fabrics and furnishings and situated in the Quartier D'Olive, a quiet residential area just 10 minutes from the centre of Carcassonne.

The kitchen has a gas hob and a small electric oven. A good-sized fridge (with a small freezing compartment) makes light work of food storage and ensures a chilled supply of the excellent local rosé! Crockery and utensils are provided.

On arrival at the holiday cottage, the owners provide those little extras which allow you to enjoy a relaxing start to your holiday - a complimentary bottle of wine and some produce from their own vegetable garden so you don't have to rush out immediately for basic provisions.

There are several supermarkets and a hypermarché, (Leclerc) only 5 minutes' drive from the holiday cottage. The shops in the centre of Carcassonne are within easy walking distance.

The holiday house has three bedrooms on the main floor - two doubles and one single. The master bedroom faces south east towards the Canal du Midi and the centre of Carcassonne. With two windows on adjacent walls the room opens to a cooling breeze, and has a desk and storage shelves

The second spacious bedroom, next door to the shower room, has plenty of wardrobe space and overlooks the garden.

The whole area is quiet; access is limited to residents only so your good night's sleep is uninterrupted!

The holiday house has two additional extensions.To the side is a small extension which is usually let to family friends. Underneath the main area is the summer kitchen. This can be accessed either directly from the outside or through internal stairs at the back of the hallway.

Whilst the summer kitchen is often in use by the owners, it is available to let with the holiday cottage by prior arrangement and this would provides enough room for a second or extended family. The price for both the summer kitchen and the main house is 540 Euros per week in high season.
