About this cottage rental
This charming, authentic 2-bed cottage is nestled in the hillside between the medieval village of Montazels and the lively market town of Espéraza in the beautiful Aude Valley, near the Corbières Massif, in the sought-after south-west of France.
The cottage is located within easy walking distance of Espéraza's shops, restaurants, cafés, bars, and famous markets. It boasts a large private swimming pool with a sunny, secluded garden with stunning views over the foothills of the Pyrenees and up towards the pretty hilltop village of Rennes-le-Château. It is perfectly situated for a relaxing holiday in the beautiful Aude Valley. A hidden gem in the South of France that enjoys an average of 300 days of sun per year!
Visit Cathar castles; kayak in the nearby River Aude; eat at some of the region's best restaurants; cook with fresh ingredients bought at the local market, and enjoy the wonderful wine from France's biggest wine region - alongside the famous local Blanquette de Limoux.

The rustic cottage is in a peaceful, rural location. The adjacent train line was decommissioned in 2017. Excellent communication with the host, comprehensive checking instructions.

A lovely, well-equipped cottage in a tranquil location. Our children adored the pool, and the property felt very private and peaceful. Although the location information provided by VRBO was slightly inaccurate (Carcassonne is a 45-minute drive away, not a 14-minute walk!), we had everything we needed in the nearby villages. The only downside of our stay was that we arrived during a heatwave, and this made it very difficult to stay comfortable unless we were in the pool! If the windows were open at all in the morning or evening, we would all immediately get bitten by mosquitoes, but when they were closed, it was roasting inside. I think we were just very unlucky with the weather (35 temperatures for much of the stay), but this is worth knowing if you are visiting in the summer.

A lovely property, great location for exploring the local area. The pool was amazing, especially as the weather was so hot! 45 min drive to Carcassonne rather than the walking distance listed on VRBO otherwise listing was accurate with everything needed for a great stay.

We stayed in this lovely cottage during the half-term holiday to explore the ski resorts in the region. The cottage is cosy and family-friendly and really makes you feel at home. There is plenty of room for a family of four with the 2 bedrooms, the large sunny kitchen and the comfy lounge with its warm wood-burner ideal to sip a drink after a day's skiing! The shops are within close walking distance and we discovered some great local restaurants during the week. Even in late February you can sit outside for an aperitif and admire the. view from the large garden so we can't wait to come back some time in the summer!
