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. ##### Rachel A.

The rooms are spacious and very well decorated. However, it is a pity that the house was so dirty - a lot of dust, food stuck in the microwave oven, bad smell and leftover food in the refrigerator. It needs a deep cleaning for the house to be 5 stars. Fabulosa casa Ubicada en el centro de Carcassone, esta casa es preciosa, con mucho charm y muebles antiguos, tal como se muestra en las fotos.
