Just outside the medieval city of Carcassonne, this home puts the castle ramparts, surrounding vineyards, and the Pyrenees mountains front and centre. The garden has everything you need to unwind in the sunshine – a heated pool, private Jacuzzi, pétanque court, and a playground for little ones. Inside may not be as characterful as the stone exterior, but it's bright and roomy. All the beds can be converted into two singles if needed, making this an ideal option for families. Factor in the potential to organise guided tours, wine tastings, private chefs, and more experiences, and it's no surprise it captured our hearts.

Home truths:
*This home sleeps twelve people, plus two babies. Two bedrooms each sleep three people, as they have a king-sized bed and a single. All the king-sized beds can be converted into two singles upon request.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide two cots upon request. They can also provide baby equipment such as bathtubs, changing mats, high chairs, safety gates, and more.
*The heated swimming pool is available from 15th April to 15th October. The Jacuzzi is available all year round.
*Private parking is available here. We suggest hiring a car for ease. There's also an EV charging station.
