Notre petite chambre au dernier etage de la maison etait vraiment decevante car petite, sombre et tres sommairement meublee (une chaise branlante et un lit pousse contre le mur). Il y avait egalemement une petite salle de bains avec cabine de douche basique. A l'arrivee la proprietaire nous a immediatement dit que la chambre et salle de bains ne seraient pas nettoyees pendant notre sejour et que si nous voulions des serviettes propres, il fallait les lui demander. J'aurais prefere savoir ca la reservation et ca a ete une mauvaise surprise de plus. Je poste des photos et vous laisse juger. Village bien situe a cote de Caracassonne et petit dejeuner copieux

We stayed in a spacious suite for 2 adults & 2 children. Breakfast was lovely and generous, inside or in the garden, depending on the weather. We enjoyed the calm (and clean swimming pool) away from the crowds of Carcassonne, yet just 7min from it by car. The hotel is run by a couple and they are extremely busy, not to say stretched. There was no room service (making beds etc) due to Covid but it is nice and clean. Would be a great place for an outside party!
