The house is situated right on the Aude and its walking path with a wonderful view of the medieval Cite. There is a footbridge across the river and you are soon walking under the ramparts and up into the Cite. From the front door you are a short walk into the Bastide, the heart of Carcassone and the Place Carnot with its cafes, or onto the banks of the Canal du Midi where you can rent bikes or go for a leisurely boat ride.
The house itself has been redone, a fairly basic kitchen and a living room on the ground floor, 4 BRs upstairs two of which with balconies which look out to the Cite. The owner, Richard, lives nearby and is eager to help, to offer suggestions for restaurants or nearby places to visit. A wonderful stay, we hope to come back soon.
The house is ideally located in walking distance to the old and new towns and by a lovely river where you can swim. It also has parking which was really useful. The house is quite "retro", so doesn't have mod cons like a dishwasher. The three doubles were a good size but the twin room is a bit small for two adults (we ended up with a suitcase in the hall).
Richard is a very hands-on host who treated us like old friends from the moment we arrived. He was very helpful and eager to please, offering advice on everything from where to get the best croissants to the best way to sleep. He will go above and beyond to make sure you feel WELCOME!
Hemos disfrutado de esta amplia y acogedora casa al mĂĄximo. Ubicada en una zona tranquila y silenciosa, junto al rio, y a la vez muy cerca de La Cite y del centro.
No le falta ningĂșn detalle, menage completo, sofĂĄ cĂłmodo y enorme, camas excelentes. CalefacciĂłn estupenda.
El propietario Richard, nos hizo sentir muy bien recibidos, es muy atento y dispuesto a solucionar cualquier eventualidad.
Le agradecemos su cortesĂa y el permitirnos usar su propiedad en nuestras vacaciones.
Nos fuimos con el deseo de regresar de nuevo!
Sin duda, la casa ideal!
La nostra estada a la casa del Richard ha estat fenomenal. Ell molt agradable, atent i collaborador. La casa PIEDRAS VIEJAS Y JARDINES en un emplaçament extraordinari. A peu a 5 minuts del Centre Ville i a 10 de la Cite. En un lloc super tranquil al costat del riu i del parc, enmig la natura i al cor de la ciutat. La casa super calida, neta i confortable. Calefaccio, terrassa i vistes a la ciutat antiga. Moooooolt recomenable!!!!
