About this property

Villa with private pool in Carcassonne town, quiet area with castle views

With 3 large bedrooms and a couch bed in the living room, Maison Fortunat sleeps 6-8 adults comfortably. There is even extra space for a travel cot in two of the bedrooms. And the couch bed boasts a real double mattress.
A spacious kitchen and living/dining room each seat 6 people round the table. Highchairs can be provided. The property is walled and private with its own swimming pool. Buggies and child car seats and toys are available.
Maison Fortunat is only a 15-minute drive from Carcassonne airport and an hour's drive from Beziers or Toulouse airports. Most importantly, Maison Fortunat is in Carcassonne town itself, ideal for those who like to dine out and take advantage of the nightlife, as it is only a few minutes’ walk from the historic medieval city (la Cité). The house boasts views of la cité from the garden and sitting room. The house is only 10 minutes walk from a large shopping centre. A 20-minute walk or short bus ride will bring you into the heart of Carcassonne's Bastide, Place Carnot, Canal du Midi and the River Aude. Numerous bus routes run past the house.
Carcassonne is a town of colourful festivals and events, wonderful food, wine and friendly local people, steeped in history and is a fantastic area to explore being only an hour from breathtaking walking, hiking, running, and beach destinations and two hours from ski locations.

Great location
The property and pool were larger than I was expecting. Handy location with a bakery and Lidl 10 minutes walk away. We caught the bus just across the road to the lake and enjoyed the water park and inflatables there. Great to be able to walk to the castle. Susan was very kind and helpful.

Maison OK mais piscine très très sale
Maison conforme à la description, bien agencée et propre. Le GROS problème INACCEPTABLE : la piscine impropre à notre arrivée (il n’y avait pas de locataires avant nous les propriétaires en profitaient avant notre arrivée). Durant 1 semaine nous avions une piscine ultra trouble impossible de voir les marches à cause des particules en flottaison. L’entretien n’est pas dûment réalisé et la propriétaire n’a pas l’équipement adéquat pour aspirer les particules au fond. Pour le prix loué c’est inacceptable. Nous avons aspiré tous les matin/ soir et acheté les floculants pour pouvoir nous baigner. Malgré nos efforts impossible d’avoir une piscine un minimum propre. Malgré la saleté avec 43 degrés on à du se baigner malgré tout. A noter en plus pas de lave vaisselle et pas de climatisation nous avons soufferts pendant la canicule. Le seul confort les ventilateurs au plafond. Ce n’était pas dans la description donc pas de mensonge mais ça mérite d’être précisé clairement dans l’annonce car à ce prix là on s’attend à un certain standing. Propriétaire habite en RDJ. Le quartier n’est pas calme du tout contrairement à la description. La maison est à l’angle d’une route ultra passante, beaucoup de passages nocturnes véhicules et piétons. Le vrai + c’est la distance à pied à 800m de la cité, la surface habitable et la literie. Expérience très désagréable, du jamais vu en piscine privé. Photo d’annonce ancienne. Réelle déception malgré une propriétaire sympathique.

Lovely house, great location
We stayed in this well-equipped house as a family of four (2 adults and 2 teenage girls) in August. The property was very comfortable, with lots of spacious rooms and a great outdoor space. The pool was very refreshing after sunbathing in the complete sun-trap of a garden. We also enjoyed relaxing in the lounge after returning home from an evening out. (Lovely new sofas not shown in photos.) There were well-stocked bookshelves, and lots of dvds and games. The house is an easy ten minute walk from La Cité, which is a beautiful place to visit. We dined out here most nights, and enjoyed exploring the little streets, restaurants and shops. The ramparts tour was fabulous and highly recommended - amazing views. We also liked the Lower town which is a twenty minute walk away. Lots of shops, and a lovely square to sit and people watch whilst enjoying a drink or meal. The fab boulangerie on the main road is a four minute walk away, and it's a ten minute walk to Lidl. We also liked the little Vival sipermarket on the walk back from the Lower town. Susan was a lovely host - helpful but 'invisible'. Speedy responses to texts, and happy to book the taxi back to the airport for us. We had a great holiday, and would happily stay at Maison Fortunat again if we ever returned to Carcassonne.

Une parenthèse enchantée
Suzan nous a réservé un accueil souriant, nous nous sommes sentis chez nous dans cette très belle maison, où notre chien était le bienvenu ! La maison était très propre, les extérieurs et la piscine aussi. Un très bon séjour, nous reviendrons. Merci Suzan.

About the host

Hosted by Susan SINHA

Host profile image
I left Ireland with just a suitcase and a vague dream of the perfect life in France in 2005 and never got any further than my first stop, the beautiful Carcassonne. I had ditched my "real job" as a journalist and editor in Dublin and instead got a job as a waitress in a restaurant in Carcassonne's fairytale castle. My French improved fast and I next got a job at the local Irish pub.
I returned to journalism in 2007 with an editing job in Castres, where I met my UK-born husband Matt, and we married in Carcassonne in 2010. We now have two beautiful bi-lingual children, Oscar born in 2012 and Céleste born in 2015. With an Irish business partner, I set up a new Irish bar, The Celt, in 2008 and, in January 2015, my husband and I bought and launched Maison Fortunat, our family's home and holiday rental business.
Maison Fortunat is under continual redecoration. We will update the photos as the redecoration progresses (it may look even better than you expect when you arrive). We look forward to welcoming you to Carcassonne, a town we know very well.

Why they chose this property

After 12 years living in Carcassone and surrounds, we know it is the town for us. It proximity to beaches and ski resorts, big cities (Montpellier, Toulouse, Barcelona, Andorra...) and quaint French villages (Lagrasse, Minerve...) make it the ideal spring board from which to explore the region. And, there is plenty to do in Carcassonne itself, with its ancient walled town and castle, its lake and canal amenities, and its myriad boutique shops. This house provided the opportunity to share all that with guests and provide our family with a home and business in one.

What makes this property unique

The house is a walled villa with a large swimming pool. Its charm lies in its location, right in Carcassonne town itself, within view of the castle's turrets and only 15 mins walk or a short hop on a bus to the town centre. It is a large house which allows us to create a family home and a separate holiday rental business on the same property. So, we will be present to help you with any enquiries during your stay, but will remain well out of sight should you prefer your privacy.
