Set in the heart of the ancient Trivalle quarter "La Trivala" beneath the walls of Carcassonne’s medieval citadel, this charming little stone house originally constructed in 1820 opens onto the old village square. Now converted to a pedestrian only public space this shady square with trees and a fountain is rarely discovered by visitors.

Sensitively restored to preserve the character of local construction methods the house accommodates 3/5 persons in 66m2. With exposed beams and the original floor tiling characteristic of the area it presents a cosy and comforting interior for all seasons.

On entering the ground floor there is a small entry hall and a WC with wash hand basin.

The main living/dining area is equipped with a generous and comfortable double sofa bed, and a dining table and chairs. The fitted kitchen has an oven, hob, extractor, fridge/freezer, and microwave, and is supplied with dishcloths, washing up liquid, tea towels, and cleaning materials so that you need not purchase them. 

The snug is the coolest place in summer and the warmest in winter.  With a comfy sofa, a hi-fi system, and a selection of music CD's, novels and local history books, it's a good place to put your feet up and relax.

Upstairs you will find a modern fitted bathroom with wash basin, bath with a shower over, heated towel rail, and a separate WC. We provide towels for the bathroom, and recognising that baggage limits are now very restrictive, we also provide some towels, beach mats, and a cool box that you are welcome to borrow for picnics and trips to the beach.

The light and spacious bedroom is equipped with one double bed and one single bed. Ample storage is provided in the wardrobe and chest of drawers.  The room is equipped with a full length mirror and, to save you transporting one, a hairdryer is available to borrow on request.

Tucked into a private corner of the square prettily furnished with potted trees and plants, you can take your ease and enjoy sunshine or shade in relative privacy.  "Pavement culture" and the outdoor lifestyle rules in this mediterranean climate and it is quite in order to take garden table and chairs outside to enjoy your aperitif and even your meal, where the occasional passer by will wish you "Bon appetit!".
