Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
This property is definitely worth a couple of nights for the charm and for the proprietor, Richard. It is a medieval building with steep stairs and 3 floors so be mindful if stairs are a problem for you. Richard has done multiple renovations to the property to make it comfortable and the bathroom and kitchen have every convenience.

A wonderful week end
We stayed in Richard's property for a week-end to celebrate a 60th birthday. We had wanted to visit Carcassonne for a long time - the area, and the accommodation, were perfect, and we enjoyed interesting conversations with Richard, who also recommended an excellent restaurant ten minutes' walk away. The apartment is very quiet: all we could hear from the terrace in the evening was the river and water birds; but at the same time it is a short walk up to the mediaeval citadel in one direction, and to the lower town in the other direction. The market in the lower town on Saturday morning was a feast for the eyes - we bought fresh veg and fruit, and goat's cheese; the indoor market offered a huge range of local meat and fish - we wished we were there for a month to sample it all. Thank you Richard for your kindness and hospitality. We hope to come back.

Nestled between the two Cities in a quiet residential area within short distances to both
This property is a perfect location for a visit to Carcassonne.
A very short walk to the new and old city there are wonderful independently owned shops providing very high quality breads, cheeses, wines and indeed meat with locally produced foodstuffs readily available.
The patio ( which is sun trap ) provides space to relax whilst listening not to a buzzling city but to bird life. This area is very private and suitable for eating and indeed imbibing the wonderful local wines.
The spacious indoor open plan layout is conducive to a very relaxing stay.
Your host is a charming man who will make you feel most welcome.
Thoroughly recommended.

A wonderful stay in a great place
My wife and I enjoyed our stay in Richard's Gite in Carcassonne. The weather was not as good with several wet and windy cool days but we were comfortable and warm the whole week of our stay. The location is perfect with the lovely river Aud and green natural area just outside our door. One can enjoy the short walk along the river and up the hill to visit the UNESCO medieval fortress, Carcassonne, that dominates the city. Local food stores, bakeries, and other stores are also a convenient walk. including a food market on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday in a place that is also walking distance. We like to prepare most of our own meals when traveling and had no problem shopping and then preparing for meals in the kitchen with the provisionals we needed to make simple breakfasts and dinners. Richard is the most gracious of hosts. He readily called us in California to answer any questions we might have before we booked our stay. Richard is a wealth of knowledge about the city and the area which allowed us to make day trips to historical sites with our leased car. We enjoyed our conversations with Richard who is always available to help. He is adept not only in French but also in English, German, and Spanish. He quickly provided a solution to the small crack in the coffee carafe which allowed us to brew our coffee each morning,. We loved our stay and would love to return again some day plus for those who drive Richard has found a way to insure that you have a parking space in front of your door reserved for you which is such a luxury when staying in a crowded old part of the city with narrow streets and too many cars. We were so lucky that we selected Richard's Gite, which proved perfect for us during our stay in Carcassonne.

excellent location
the apt was even better than the pictures. Richard was in the hospital during our stay and was replaced by Maryse who was very efficient. the interior was very bright and spacious. the views of the city are as pictured and you are 10 to 15 minute walk from everything. would definitely go back.
