About this house rental
La Maison de Prunelle is the former grocery store of the seventeenth century village located at the foot of the Cathar castles. It is perfectly located to give you the opportunity to explore all the treasures of the Aude department and spend a relaxing holiday in a very small village in the south of France. You will find calm and authenticity. The cottage lends itself perfectly to romantic weekends with Jacuzzi, family holidays with enclosed garden, hiking and Cathar castles, quiet teleworking with wi-fi. Located at the foot of the Cathar Castles, 12 minutes from Mirepoix or Chalabre, 35 minutes from the City of Carcassonne but also 15 minutes from the lakes of Montbel or Puivert for swimming and water activities.
Because holidays are for the whole family so the rental includes, the cleaning of the house on your departure, the supply of sheets, towels, household linen but also the beds made on arrival.
The Maison de Prunelle is the former grocery store of the village of the seventeenth century completely restored while combining the charm of the old and the modern. We wanted to preserve the charm of the old by keeping the bread oven, the wine vats, the stone walls, the stone sink, the tiles of yesteryear etc.... . On the modern side, the kitchen benefits from all the comforts (induction hob, hood, oven, etc...) and accessories.

This old stone cottage in a small village is a gem; comfortable, well furnished, and in a beautiful area. Local information from Marc and a greeting and orientation from Alain were both excellent. We ventured in a different direction each day and particularly enjoyed Mirepoix and its restaurants and Monday market. Special thanks to Alain.

Marc has renovated the property so that there’s a washing machine, dishwasher and plenty of hot water for the shower. But it’s still highly original with stone and wood stairs and features such as an amazing old stone sink in the kitchen. The garden is private and it was lovely sitting out in the roofed area which protected us from both the sun and rain!
Thank you to Alain who provided a warm welcome when we arrived.
We loved the area. The house is located midway between Limoux for wine tasting and Mirepoix for the fabulous Monday market. We also went to Carcassonne which we thought was a bit too ‘Disney ‘. We much preferred Montsegur and Peyrepertuse A highlight was walking up St Barthelemy.
An interesting house to stay in and a lovely area with lots to see and do

So amazing to be able to stay in this tiny and ancient village in an authentically renovated home. The house was comfortable with everything we needed. Hosts were very friendly & helpful and it was a great base for exploring the beautiful countryside all around. Thank you!

We spent a week with our children in this lovingly restored house, which feels more like a home than a holiday rental. The owner, Marc, was incredibly helpful, sending us lots of information about the area before we arrived, and we were given a warm welcome by the keyholder, Alain (who speaks excellent English). Many long evenings were spent outside on the terrace watching swallows and house martins, and we especially enjoyed visiting the local towns of Mirepoix and Limoux, exploring the many châteaux in the area and bathing in nearby lakes. A most memorable holiday - thank you!
