Places to Stay
Find below a list of places to stay. I have chosen some very special hotels and bed and breakfasts to stay in, and apartments and houses to rent. Click on the names below.
Chateau d'Agel
Fully catered weeks or short breaks in a beautiful chateau in the heart of the Languedoc.
Here in the heart of the Minervois Region nestles a 12th century castle, with history dating back to the Cathars and Simon de Montfort. It was a fortified castle, where the Count of Toulouse resisted the Albigensian crusade. Enjoy wonderful food and wine, excursions to local sites, and the incredible ambience of this historical site.
Domaine d'Auriac
A most perfect hotel near Carcassonne.
Domaine d’Auriac is a beautiful hotel, and the perfect luxury hotel for a stay in the region. It is only 5 minutes drive from La Cité, the mediaeval village of Carcassonne, but far enough away to escape ‘the masses’ during the summer months! It is well positioned for travel in to the Minervois and the Corbières, for walking or historical excursions. This is the heart of the Cathar region, so for the lovers of mediaeval history it is a perfect location.
La Domaine de la Fontaine
A very comfortable, 3 bedroom house to rent in the ancient village of Poilhes on the Canal du Midi.
If you're looking for a house to rent, La Domaine de la Fontaine offers great accommodation, in a beautiful village bordering the Canal du Midi. Recently converted from part of an old vigneron’s house in the sleepy village of Poilhes, it provides the perfect setting for a self catering holiday.
Aux Quat' Saisons
An exquisite and luxuious B&B.
Whilst not cheap, this is the most luxurious Chambres d’Hote you’ll find in the region. Le Domaine aux Quat' Saisons is located in a village not far from Carcassonne, and is a “Maison de Mâitre” dating back to 1882 when it was the summer residence of the Martinel family.
42 Rue Victor Hugo
Two, one bedroom apartments in the centre of Carcassonne.
This is chic. Two one bedroom apartments in the centre of Carcassonne, beautifully decorated, and stocked with everything you need. It is decadence, and the most perfect way to spend a long weekend, or more, experiencing the beautiful city. It’s not just renting an apartment for a weekend; you can be picked up from the airport, driven to the old French townhouse, shown into a stunning suite and relaxing while your hosts serve aperitifs and canapés.
