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.
