About this house rental
La Maison de l'Ambassadeur is the former home of the French ambassador to Finland situated in the Bastide in central Carcassonne. Built during the reign of King Louis IX, it famously acquired its unique Art Nouveau facade in 1910.
Sleeping up to 12 guests comfortably, it has a bar for private use, fully equipped kitchen and 2 generous reception rooms (one with a large dining area) leading out on to a private, secluded garden with outside seating.
The house offers 450 square metres of space for its guests. Featuring high ceilings, intricate plasterwork, marble fireplaces and a sweeping marble staircase, it is an architectural gem. The generous rooms and hallways are testament to its past function as a place for entertaining important dignitaries.
The dining room has enough space for 16 to dine. The interconnecting lounge has plenty of seating, 50" Smart HD TV and bluetooth stereo. The kitchen is equipped with washing machine, drier, dishwasher, American style fridge-freezer, range cooker, crockery, cutlery, glasses and lots of storage space. There is a snug private bar area with seating.

A very pleasant despite the high temperatures. The property is obviously historic yet well-kept and cared for, with attention to the overall appearance and condition. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and beautifully decorated. The beds were incredibly comfortable. The staff were incredibly attentive and made us feel very welcome. Being close to attractions, shops, restaurants and transportation the building managed to provide a peaceful and quiet atmosphere when you closed the front door - We had a truly enjoyable stay and would highly recommend this place to others!

A central, clean and truly impressive property for a lovely trip with friends. So much space with en suite bedrooms and a breathtaking outdoor courtyard which I know is uncommon in the city. It felt really opulent and special to be staying here. The communication with Jane was exceptional and reassuring. Little things like fresh flowers, bottles of water in fridges in bedrooms and a picnic basket ready for a lunch at the lake were such lovely touches. We would love to return.
