We had a lovely stay at this property which was well located around 20 mins from Carcassone. It was in a rural location and fairly easy to find, well-equipped kitchen and useful instructions from the owners. The garden and surrounding areas are lovely and the pool is great, would return again , thankyou.
A beautiful, relaxing house in the South of France
I only have positive things to say about this house and the location. Communication was very warm and welcoming from the very start and on our first day we were greeted with a couple of bottles of local wine. The house is well kept, clean, beautifully decorated and full of interesting art. Very comfortable beds and fluffy towels! We were two families so the house was the perfect size to accommodate us all. Outside the gardens are huge so plenty of space at the front and back of the house to sit and read, sunbathe by the pool or just take in the wonderful views. If you like to exercise there are some beautiful runs past vast fields of sunflowers and vineyards to the local village and beyond with views out to the Pyrenees. One of our party is a keen painter so enjoyed long afternoons painting the sunflowers and views. Out and about the local pretty village of Alzonne is a 5min drive and is perfect for daily amenities like bread etc. 15mins drive you have the amazing, stunning medieval city of Carcassonne which we visited a couple of times in the early evening for supper. Not to be missed! Lastly another beautiful town is Montolieu. Again about 15mins from the house and full of charming bookshops and art. A pretty square and wonderful views. I would highly recommend this house if you are after a peaceful, relaxing holiday. It was perfect! We hope to visit again.

We are a family living between London & Northumberland. We rented Domaine de Belzons for a family holiday to celebrate a special birthday in March and fell in love with the house and the area even in chilly conditions! We bought the house later in the year and have loved every moment we have spent there. It has been an absolute joy to furnish the house so that it feels comfortable but elegant.
The house is situated in such peaceful surroundings that you relax the moment you arrive. It offers space without being daunting, comfort without being stuffy and the most wonderful base to explore the region with two world heritage sites on the doorstep - Carcassonne and the Canal du Midi. Perfect for hot Summer holidays [the beaches are an easy drive away] the area is great for serious sightseeing in Spring and Autumn. Belzons would also be a fantastic place for a family Christmas or celebration.
Private and quiet without being remote. Local shopping and supermarkets within easy distance. Close to historic Carcassonne. Near many Cathar castles. Close enough to the coast for beach days. Elegant interiors. A spectacular view. Lots of things to do/see in bad weather. Good size private pool.
