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.

Excellent location and friendly host
We would highly recommend staying here! The property, was not only very large for a group of 4, it was also very well equipped with everything you need for a weeks stay. The pool area is fantastic; which given the 35 degree heatwave was great for relaxing and cooling off in.
Locations wise, the property is close by to an excellent bakery and two supermarkets. Carcassonne castle, which has an abundance of restaurants and shops within the walls is a very easy 10 minute walk away.
Susan the host was very welcoming and helpful, providing us with plenty of recommendations and also helping us with booking a taxi.
Thanks for a great stay! We would certainly come back!

The best hub to explore pays de Cathares!
We wanted to have the right location to explore not only Carcassonne but also all sights related to pays Cathares. And we found it!
The house is great in all dimensions: location (15 min walk from Medieval cite of Carcasssone), space, facilities (great pool! - 5 min walk bakery - 5 min drive Lidl, etc) you name it.
On top of that Susan is an ideal host. She was great in helping us organise our schedule for the 8 days and gave us some fantastic tips in terms of locations and restaurants. And she was “invisible” even if she lives with her family on site.
I would thoroughly recommend Maison Fortunat and Carcassonne!!

Great location, lovely villa, amazing pool
We stayed at this villa for 10nights in August and it definitely didn’t let us down. There was 5 adults, 1 child and a dog. Rooms were spacious, living room was great looking over the pool and huge kitchen great for dining in. The most important thing we look for when booking a villa is the pool/outside area... and the pictures don’t do it enough justice, the pool is a great size which was well used due to amazing weather +35*c and great shady area to get out of the sun if needed. We walked to the castle ( Cité de Carcassonne) pretty much every night which is a 10 minute walk full of little shops, restaurants and bars great atmosphere and amazing sights. Susan was a great host and made us feel really welcomed in her home, she also helped us with organising a trip to the vets which was close by too. Would definitely recommend staying here if you want a chilled, historical and amazing holiday. Thank you Susan

A Home From Home
Homely maison , comfortable and inviting . Nice pool area .
Susan made us very welcome and she is very helpful with any requirements . Castle is just a short walk away from house and town is a little further but also easily walkable .
The castle area is stunning and can be visited again and again, nice restaurants etc . We would hire a car next time to see more of the area but this visit we just wanted to relax .
The Celt Pub is also worth a visit , in town, a lively Irish bar !! ( Susan co- owns it, it's good )
Anyway thanks to Susan again , we enjoyed our stay at Maison Fortunat very much .

Great property in an excellent location
This was a great property. It was large and spacious, and had everything we could have needed for our stay there. The private pool was great to have and was of a decent size. Also, the location of the house couldn't have been better especially seeing as we weren't hiring a car and were traveling everywhere by foot. The Medieval City was a short walk away, as was the town centre, two large supermarkets, a fantastic bakery, and countless restaurants. The house was perfect for our stay and I would gladly stay there again if visiting Carcassonne.
