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!".
