This beautiful home is even better than the photos. It's situated in a beautiful, quiet town, 20 minutes from everywhere including Carcassone, Minerve, hiking, historic places and lovely food. The house has been lovingly rebuilt and decorated. The kitchen is well appointed with everything you need to cook some beautiful meals. The living areas are very comfortable. The two bedrooms are virtually suites with plenty of closet space and huge bathrooms. Perfect for a long or short stay. Ingrid was an amazing host, always within reach when you needed something. Thank you, Ingrid and Christopher for your generous hosting and your kindness when I was injured. A beautiful month in Caunes Minervois. Would highly recommend!

Second time and as great as the first!
Last year was our first visit to Caunes-Minervoir and we stayed at La Sucre mid-May-early June. We liked it so much, we booked it again for this spring. The house is truly marvelous and was everything we remembered. While the weather did not cooperate this year (a lot of wind, rain, and cool temperatures) we couldn't have been in a better location. The house is quiet, well equipped with comfortable beds and equally comfortable living area furniture. Fabulous pizza place in walking distance as is a stellar restaurant L'Atelier. We had meals in frequently, given the weather and the kitchen provided everything we needed to make lovely meals with marvelous French ingredients. The thrice-weekly markets in the centre of town provided fresh herbs and vegetables, and fabulous quiches. Ingrid and Christopher are so welcoming and helpful - marvelous hosts! We have visited France over 20 times in the past 25 years and have never returned before to a holiday home. We are already thinking of booking La Sucre for a third time!

We loved this house.
Ingrid and Christopher are wonderful hosts. Christopher actually met us to lead us to this beautifully renovated medieval property. As other reviews have mentioned, the kitchen is great - absolutely the best we have encountered in our travels! The rest of the house is equally good, comfortable for hanging out - both indoors and out on the expansive terrace. And the beds are very comfortable too.The village is totally charming with excellent restaurants (don’t miss L’Atelier), a great Boulangerie and a nicely stocked grocery store. We can’t recommend this rental highly enough, it deserves more than five stars. We will definitely be back.

A little piece of paradise
If you want a peaceful holiday in a gorgeous apartment this is your place. This is the second time in this village, and staying in one of Ingrid's properties and I can't say enough nice things -- just wonderful. The apartment has everything you need, the shops in the nearby city have the best produce and groceries at a very reasonable price. There are activities to entertain you or it is just a perfect place to hang out and read a book. 5 stars!

The perfect holiday
We had a marvelous time at LaSucre. The house was everything we could have hoped for: spacious, inviting and quiet. Ingrid was the perfect hostess; her emails were precise and clear and our questions were always answered quickly. She had many wonderful suggestions and we really had the perfect holiday. My husband and I cannot wait to go back again to this wonderful place!

Perfect
Absolutely wonderful. I won’t repeat the other glowing reviews — just add my AMEN! to those comments and add: if you love cooking, make sure you take a look at everything offered that I’ve not seen in a rental before: knife sharpener, measuring cups, an immersion blender and good quality pots and pans, including a Le Creuset casserole. The local market includes a Quiche truck with the BEST quiche I’ve had ever.
The area of France is marvellous and we so enjoyed our hikes in the countryside.
We have rented over the last 25 years 20 or so places in France. This has been the best and we are talking about coming back next year.
Thank you so much Ingrid and Christopher.

Luxury and location
The house had everything we needed, was beautifully presented and very comfortable.
The terrace is unique in Caunes for a house in the middle of the village. We spent many hours sitting on it enjoying the sounds of the village and the Abbey bells.
It was lovely to step out into the medieval streets.
Our hosts were excellent and very welcoming. I hope we will meet again.

Photos don't do justice!
I can't recommend this lovely property strongly enough. It's not often that you book and stay at a property that exceeds expectations but la Sucre did just that. The photos do not do it justice. It was by far the nicest we have stayed in; incredibly functional and well-equipped but stunning and full of character. AND located in the most picturesque village ever! We used this home-away-from-home as a base for our week-long exploration throughout the Languedoc/Roussillon area and it was perfect. Ingrid and John were excellent hosts, providing us with a lovely welcoming basket of fruit and bottle of wine, showing (not just telling) us where to shop for supplies and answering any questions we had. One lasting memory of our stay is our morning walk to the village boulangerie through narrow, winding cobblestone streets to purchase fresh croissants for breakfast to be enjoyed on the outside ‘terrace’. We would not hesitate to return and stay again.

Sweet week in Le Sucre
This lovely, atmospheric house is carved into the rocks of the town ramparts and the cool stone interiors provided a blissful respite from the heatwave outside. The covered terrace was idyllic in the mornings - you can drink your coffee while watching swallows swoop and whirl over the adjacent rooftops - and the house was extremely well equipped, immaculately furnished and brimming with lovely touches, including plentiful bookshelves.
We absolutely loved our stay and found Caunes a great base for touring the area as well as a pretty town in its own right. It’s not possible to drive right to the door of the property but that’s part of the charm of the historical location and we had no problem finding free parking spaces nearby. We’d love to return one day.

La maison est beaucoup plus belle et que sur les photos, se trouve entre deux petites ruelles, au calme. Très bien équipée, décorée avec le goût. La literie et le linge de lit est parfait. Les chambres sont spacieuses.
Il y a des caméras vidéosurveillance à l’extérieur et à l’intérieur au niveau de la terrasse.
Nous avons passé très bon séjour.
Je recommande.

Au coeur d'un village médiéval
Cette maison est très bien équipée: tout le nécessaire est là, de bonne qualité, quasi neuf et de bon gout.
La terrasse et l'espace à vivre sont très bien éclairés et très agréables, la disposition en Triplex fait que les chambres (en bas) restent fraiches même par temps chaud. Par contre on utilise beaucoup les escaliers.
Le village de Caunes, médiéval a son charme, les ruelles étroites sont agréables à pied, moins en voiture.
L'accueil d'Ingrid est très sympathique.
La région présente beaucoup d'atouts touristiques: nous avons beaucoup aimé nos randonnées dans la montagne noire, la visite commentée des carrières de marbre et le vélo le long du canal du midi. L'office du tourisme renseigne très bien.

The home was clean and very spacious. We enjoyed the comfort of the home with large bedrooms and baths. The terrace was a great place to enjoy meals. The kitchen was well stocked with basic supplies. Ingrid could not have been nicer or more helpful.
The village was easy to navigate and Ingrid's recommendations were on target.

La Sucre - Superb
In my opinion, having stayed in several properties in Caunes Minervois, La Sucre is absolutely the best. Everything you need and more for a really comfortable stay is here. The furniture and decor are fabulous and add to the charm of a beautiful French village like Caunes Minervois. Ingrid has been managing properties for many years and her attention to detail is impeccable. My only hesitation in recommending this property too highly is because I want it to be available when I next return. Anything else would be a disappointment.

Quaint and spacious property with stunning views across the city
La Sucre is a beautiful house set in a picturesque French village, well-located for a multitude of activities, from cycling to swimming in the lake, visiting Carcassone to listening to live music at local restaurants, or walking through vineyards and having a barbecue with the sunset on the patio. Ingrid was very thoughtful in providing us with a bottle of wine on our arrival as well as pretty dahlia flowers in vases. The gite is so well-equipped that it was like being at home. The people of Caunes were so friendly and gladly spoke in English when we didn't understand French! We loved every minute of our holiday and would highly recommend visiting La Sucre.

オーナーについて
オーナー : Ingrid Hudson
I was a documentary photographer in South Africa for many years before coming to our beautiful French village about twenty years ago. Since then I have renovated many houses both for myself and others. Part of the fun has been buying treasures from local markets and brocantes with which to furnish the houses. It was a great way to get to understand the area, learn French and make friends with the people of our village. Since I began renting my houses, of the many, many people who have come to stay with us, 12 couples ( now 15!) have themselves fallen in love with the area and bought houses in and around the village. Be warned!
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
It has been really satisfying renovating houses in Caunes especially as many had been abandoned. La Sucre had actually fallen down; a lost tooth in a row of lovely stone facades. To renovate it and make it a working part of the village once again has been a great privilege.
この宿泊施設の特徴
My son commissioned me to renovate La Sucre for him. We worked together on the design and finishes of the house. My daughter-in-law, a great maker of interesting houses, helped us furnish it. We found old mirrors, pretty crockery and glassware, fabrics and photographs. It has been wonderful building something as beautiful as La Sucre from a tumbled down ruin and, especially, doing it together. It is a house in which we plan to have many happy holidays getting to know the French countryside, the wines and the people. How lucky we are.
