About this house rental
All of the luxury and tranquility of a "French Country House in Town". Situated in the heart of the Bastide Saint Louis, Carcassonne the former Presbytery of the nearby Eglise St Vincent de Carcassonne has been lovingly renovated with an eye to understated luxury.
The house is simply but elegantly styled with a coherent and relaxing theme drawing from local fabric designs. The considerable wall space offered by the high ceilings is perfect to show original artworks by local artists, all lovingly curated by the host - a professional upholsterer and designer.
The ground floor offers an entry into an enormous bright stairwell that leads to the upper floors. Double doors lead to a huge dining room with comfortable seating for 12.
To the left is a fully fitted kitchen that has all appliances by the top-of-the-line Italian manufacturer SMEG. To the right is a snug, where you can relax with a book and enjoy the morning light with a coffee.
Double doors in the dining room lead out onto a private, secluded, south-facing garden and terrace, featuring - unique in the Bastide - a swimming pool.
On the first floor there are three generously sized double bedrooms all with King/Queen sized beds, antique French dressers, wardrobes and elegant lighting.
The master bathroom has both an oversized bath with swan-neck taps and a walk-in shower.
There is also a second shower room and toilet on this floor.
On the second floor the layout is the same with three generous bedrooms, one with twin beds and the others with King beds.
This floor has a full bathroom and a shower room both sporting the signature beton ciré used throughout the house.
The cellar has been completely refurbished into a huge, fun space with a Table-Football table, Bar with fridge, full-size Chesterfield sofas and giant Fatboy beanbags to lounge in and chat, or watch the latest films on an immersive big screen projector connected to a Fire Cube.
The hosts are seasoned travellers and the property has been designed to counter their pet peeves whilst vacationing.
- All bedrooms have dedicated USB sockets built in, no more forgotten chargers.
- There is a Sonos music system in all ground floor rooms and the cellar, allowing for ambient music to be played - we recommend you download the app.
- The whole house has high speed internet with dedicated routers on all floors.
All of this just minutes walk from the amazing local restaurants and amenities. The Canal du Midi and Carcassonne Cité are within easy walking distance and yet the back garden is full of bird song with a private pool hidden from view.

Our family had an excellent holiday in Carcassone in the “Country” house. We would love to stay again with our travels. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

On walking into the property it was breathtaking. Amazing styling, beautiful collection of books and fantastic artwork.
We were instantly drawn to the pool and swam in it every day, as we were lucky enough to have warm and sunny weather.
Carcassonne as a town is lovely, only a short stroll to the best boulangerie, the square, and a beautiful shop called Ferme.
We enjoyed a couple of trips to the Cite de Carcassonne as our sons loved playing Knights but for the most part we didn’t want to leave the house! Such a wonderful relaxing time with many great memories.
Cathra was an amazing host, offering plenty of local tips and always happy to help if we needed anything.
She has carefully equipped the house with everything you could need. Nothing is missing or out of place.
We all felt incredibly lucky to have found and stayed this amazing place with an equally fantastic host!
Thank you Cathra.
