The host was excelent. She answered all are questions before our arrival and on check in even drove us to a local supermarket to get some groceries in. The villa was right on a bus route and in 5 minutes you were in the city centre.On departure there was no rush to get us out and everything was very relaxed. We enjoyed are stay very much.
Large and well equipped. Good location for both the castle area and main city. The pool is the star - absolute life saver in the intense heat of August
The apartment was perfect for our family stay, homely, well equipped, spotlessly clean and plenty of space for the 6 of us. The location is ideal for exploring the beautiful town. We made lots of use of use of the lovely pool and outside space. Susan is a great host, really recommend this property.

Great stay
The property was spacious and clean. Susan was an excellent, attentive host and we had a fantastic weekend.
Susan, was very welcoming. The villa was great, spacious and clean with everything we needed and the pool was fantastic to cool off in on the hot afternoons. Carcassonne itself was a delight with the Cite itself a short 10 minute walk away.
We stayed at this property for 2 weeks in August 2024. It is a lovely house with a gorgeous pool. The host Susan is the perfect mix of present but unobtrusive.
The surrounding area has so much to do, from caves and underground chasms to beautiful villages and Mediterranean beaches.
Highly recommend!

Great location!
It was perfect for our vacation, with the people we were with the rooms worked. Pool was awesome for the hot days. We had one rainy evening and so chose a video. There was a wonderful DVD collection. All in all a great rental.

Thank you for the lovely review Caroll and party. You were delightful guests and left the place in great condition on departure.
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.

The Villa is ideally located in Carcassonne for all the attractions
Susan made us most welcome and answered various questions giving good advice of places to visit. Ideal family Villa. We had a lovely time here and would recommend this Villa for other families. We had a party of 8 including 3 children. Thank you very much 👍✌️️😎
Susan was a superb host, very helpful both before and during our stay. The house was very well maintained and equipped with everything you could possibly need, including an extensive book and DVD collection. Only a 10 minute walk the castle and to the local Aldi and Lidl, also close to the several bus routes. The pool was very well used throughout our stay and was clean and well maintained.
Thank you Susan, we had a wonderful time.
We had a lovely week staying in Maison Fortunat. All adults and our three year old granddaughter loved swimming and relaxing around the clean and well proportioned swimming pool which was especially welcome during some daytime temperatures of 30C plus. Although situated near a fairly busy road this did not impact on our enjoyment. It is a short walk into the Cité which is well worth exploring. The Bastide Saint-Louis is also within walking distance. This part of Carcassonne is also worth visiting especially on market days. We used the bus stop across the road to travel to Lac de la Cavayère (line 2a) which has a sandy beach, several adventurous activities and a beautiful circular walk around the lac.
Susan is an excellent host and provided plenty of helpful advice. All the rooms are spacious with ceiling fans. The kitchen is well equipped and the lounge which has a small balcony is a comfortable space to sit, relax and dine. Thank you Susan for a memorable stay in your property. A taxi from the airport to the property cost around 18 euros.
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.
Es handelt sich um ein sehr schönes, gut ausgestattetes Haus mit viel Platz im inneren. Garten und Pool sind sehr hübsch gestaltet; der Pool war sauber und wurde von der Gastgeberin regelmäßig überprüft und gereinigt.Burg und Innenstadt sind fußläufig zu erreichen. Susan ist eine sehr freundliche, unaufdringliche Gastgeberin. Alles in allem haben wir hier eine sehr schöne Urlaubswoche verbracht.
superbe propriété, on a passé de très bonne vacance, hôte super sympas a l'écoute; proche du centre ville et commerce tous près de la cité médiévale et restaurant. Je recommande cette propriété

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.
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.
Une maison spacieuse, propre et fraiche. Idéalement situé prés de la cité accessible a pied. Une très belle piscine. Mais surtout les bons conseils de Suzan pour les sites touristiques.
Un séjour très agréable que nous aurions aimé plus long
Localisation exceptionnelle à 10 minutes à pied de la cité médiévale. La piscine par 38 degrés est très appréciable, surtout en ville. Merci à Susan pour sa gentillesse et sa disponibilité. Nous recommandons vivement cette propriété pour tous ceux qui souhaite découvrir Carcassonne.
Séjour agréable, je remercie suzane pour sa gentillesse.
Tout est conforme à l'annonce, villa très propre au sens vrai du mot.
Mon mari .et mes enfants ont apprécié le séjour et surtout la piscine. .Carcassonne magnifique endroit.
Maison située idéalement, coin piscine très agréable
Susan disponible, très discrète et serviable. Nous avons passé un très bon séjour, maison très agréable, grande, pratique. Idéalement située pour visiter Carcassonne à pied et rayonner dans la région en voiture.
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!
Zeer vriendelijke en discrete gastvrouw! Charmante, ruime woning met heel goede bedden. Aangename buitenruimte en zwembad. Enige minpuntje is het straatlawaai.... Verder een ideale ligging ten opzichte van Carcassonne en la cité ! Te voet op een goeie 15minuten. Heel goede bakker 5min, winkels op 5min. Heel leuke vakantie gehad!! Thanks Susan 😉
