Gîte de Dame Carcas

Located in Carcassonne, this welcoming villa brings it all within your reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 8-minute drive to Canal du Midi Harbor Master's Office or the 7-minute drive to Pont-Neuf de Carcassonne (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return to this 3014-sq-ft villa, you can unwind by the outdoor pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the deck or patio and outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at billiards, or enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

This 7-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental features a living room, a BBQ grill, and a fireplace. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll also have access to laundry facilities.
