A beautiful and unique place to stay right in the middle of the city. Lots of space, very clean, everything that you could need or want. A lovely outdoor space, great window in the living room to watch the happenings of the city and a very responsive and helpful host. Highly recommend.

We had a fantastic time staying at Sylvia’s property. We’ve stayed in Carcassonne several times, but this the first inside the Ramparts. So convenient, we had everything we needed close by and also in the property. A great host who was so helpful, a great place and a great location. Thanks again!

Sylvia, our host was super. She welcomed us with goodies and great recommendations. The gite was very comfortable and when it got hot, the enclosed patio garden was always cool. This stay was like none other in a medieval city. Thanks, LaDawn

We enjoyed our stay here at Carcassonne. The gite is very spacious and well-equipped. I especially enjoyed being able to go out and stroll the empty streets and walls in the early mornings before the tourist crowds arrived. Sylvie made the process very easy for us and responded quickly with communication. Merci beaucoup!

I cant give this property enough credit. It was amazing in everyway. The bedrooms were large and bathroom modern and comfortable. The downstairs lounge was very big and kitchen ideal. What was special was the outside courtyard for chilling out. I cant thank the host sylvia enough, i had lost my watch before we left for the airport. Sylvia found it and actually got it to me in the airport as we were boarding. No idea how she did but cant thank her enough. Perfect apt right in the centre of the medieval city. Magical.

We stayed at Sylivie's Gite for 4 days/3 nights in July. The Gite was spacious, well organized, clean, and very nice. We had everything we needed (minus a few towels, but it was no problem). The Gite is located right in the heart of the Medieval City, so we were always only a few steps away from the action. We also ventured outside the city one day, and the parking is very convenient. We had an amazing time and thoroughly enjoyed staying here. The only negatives we encountered had nothing to do with the Gite itself, but circumstance...such as the heat! It was very hot while we were there. We would stay here again, for sure. Thank you Sylvie!

I’ve stayed at quite a few BnB’s and this one was fantastic. Sylvia was extremely quick to communicate, efficient and helpful. Sylvia’s place looks better than the photos. You are very close to the centre of the medieval town, within the old walls. The location is fantastic with am amazing bakery across the street, and numerous restaurants nearby. Sylvia’s place was extremely clean and well equipped. There was more than enough room. The kitchen was well equipped, although we didn’t do any cooking. The bedrooms are large and the main bathroom is large as well. The water pressure is excellent and there is plenty of hot water. Check-in was extremely easy, and un-like some of the other BnB’s in France and Spain, Sylvia gave us check in instructions well before we arrived, rather than just a few minutes prior or after check in time, which seems to becoming more common. I cannot say enough good things about this place. We would definitely return and recommend Sylvia’s place to others.

The property was gorgeous, clean and right in the heart of the medieval city which was perfect for our festival in the Chateau. The host was so helpful and friendly, will be back if she will have us. :)

This is a well-appointed apartment inside the bustling medieval citadel. The hosts are welcoming and helpful. The only downside, for what is a self-catering holiday, is that vehicular access is still quite a way from the gîte, so be prepared to carry food and luggage a few hundred yards from the car park. Alternatively plan to eat out every night in the many restaurants within the citadel. Overall we had a really enjoyable week soaking up the history of Carcassonne and the surrounding Cathar region.

Nous venons de passer une semaine très agréable dans le logement de Sylvia, situé au coeur de la belle cité de Carcasonne.. Le logement est en tous points conforme à la description. Bâtisse de 400 ans mise aux normes de confort moderne et effectué avec beaucoup de goût. On se laisse envoûter par la magie du lieu, au soleil couchant a 2 pas de la cathédrale et du château comtal.(les levées de jour ne sont pas mal non plus, on a la cité pour soi avant l'arrivée des touristes). Sans oublier les besoins plus terre à terre, à combler par un choix de restaurants aussi variés que bons. Bref un séjour recommandé. Anne Marie Girault

The apartment is in a fantastic location within the ramparts, with a great choice of restaurants on the doorstep. Walking around late at night when the crowds had dispersed was magical. It was incredibly hot when we stayed, and as such we spent a lot of time sat outside on the terrace in the evenings. Having outside space was great, but the garden furniture needs a bit of a deep clean, and the terrace (with a covered rusty bbq in the corner) needs some attention. I think we only noticed this as we stayed for 12 nights in August (in the midst of COVID!) and so spent a lot of time outside! But it is a fantastic location and we enjoyed our stay very much.

The property was ideal for our purposes, a short break for two couples (advanced years....) in this astonishing 'castle' overlooking the 'Bastide' or city of Carcassonne. We were metres away from countless bistros and restaurants, all of which were reasonably priced and produced lovely dishes it seemed. Silvia's gite was comfortable, stylish and functional. Very pleased with our choice.

Gite is in a great location. Very spacious for up to four people with pretty much everything you need to make your stay comfortable. Would recommend Restaurant Adelaide. Fixed price is very good value and quality. The location is right in front of the Chateux ramparts, quite atmospheric during the evening. Also an aperitif on the garden terrace of Hotel de la Cite with some very scenic views across to the new cite. A big thank you to Sylvie for making our stay a very memorable and enjoyable one.

L'arrivée a été un peu chaotique, le garde-barrière ayant refusé de nous laisser entre sous les remparts pour déposer nos bagages. L'appartement très bien situé, en plein centre de la cité de Carcassonne, est très confortable. Le parking gratuit, à proximité de la cité, est un plus. Le seul souci est le manque de climatisation (bien qu'il y ait des ventilateurs), qui transforme les chambres, sous les toits, en étuve lors des nuits chaudes de l'été. Sinon, le reste est parfait. La photo d'accroche de l'annonce ne montre en fait que l'entrée de la rue, ce qui est un peu trompeur. L'appartement et en fait situé plus loin dans la rue, une petite porte entre un magasin de poterie et un restaurant, et ne donne pas sur la place. Au final, un bon séjour, une fois la canicule passée.

There are very few places to stay within the walls of this fantastic city, so if you find this apartment available, I would book it! It is really is in the most perfect spot for exploring the walled city and right opposite the 5 star Hotel de la Cite if you are feeling in the mood to be pampered. Really well equipped kitchen and lovely bistros literally right on your doorstep if you don't want to cook! We were 4 adults and were very comfortable in the very clean, mix of ancient and modern apartment. Sylvie, our host, was very helpful and a pleasure to deal with. We can't recommend this place highly enough and will definitely be returning!!
