Photos and Description of this Capestang holiday house Central village location, near beaches and mountains on the Canal du Midi

Maison du Monde is in the heart of this beautiful village dating back to roman times. The village centre (2 minute walk) is dominated by the beautiful church and square where there is a twice weekly market (Wednesday and Sunday) and where there are the two bars and restaurants. The church is said to be a duplicate of the cathedral in Narbonne. There are at least 6 restaurants in walking distance of the house in the summer, useful when you are in the heart of the wine growing area!! One of the restaurants (a 2 minute walk) is in the courtyard of the local winemaker and and the indoor tables are placed around the vats. Luckily the bank is next door which has a machine so it is easy to draw cash. Changing money in anything but large towns can be complicated as can using travellers cheques!! To the other side of the house and a two minute walk is the Canal du Midi port of Capestang. It is lovely to have a picnic by the Canal in the shade of the plane trees and watch the boats go by.

Exceeded our expectations

Ricky T Cardiff
Review Submitted: October 26, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Having only stayed 3 nights we wish we'd stayed for 2 weeks. The house is perfect and the pictures just don't do it justice, it's an idyllic property furnished with everything you need. The courtyard is perfect for barbecues and even has a covered outside eating area.

If the house wasn't enough the owners are some of the most helpful and accommodating people I've ever met. I couldn't recommend this enough, my only advice would be to take a car if staying a week a more to explore the nearby towns.

The Clan of 12 Loughton
Review Submitted: September 17, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
12 of us stayed for 2 weeks in this lovely house with views over the village of Capestang. The house was very well equipped & beautifully decorated & furnished. It now has its own 12 seater cinema in the Courtyard and was within a few minutes' walk of the Canal du Midi. there are a couple of supermarkets a short drive away. Capestang is a lovely village with its own square; we really enjoyed wandering down to get fresh bread & croissants each day, or perusing the market twice a week. There were some lovely bars & restaurants nearby. The people are friendly and the owner of the house was extremely helpful & knowledgable about the area.
We visited Carcassonne, Narbonne and cycled to Beziers along the canal. We spent a lot of time messing about in rivers which are very clean and very beautiful.
We would love to go back some time!

Honeymoon

Mr & Mrs Midlands Leicester
Review Submitted: August 2, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Myself and ny husband stayed at the above property in June for our honeymoon. The location was excellent as we were minutes away from the town centre in one direction and the canal du Midi in the other. The village itself had several restaurants, a local shop and a supermarket, all within walking distance. There is a number of english who either live or holiday in Capestang which means there's a real sense of community and we were made to feel very welcome.

The property has been beautifully restored and was extremely clean and well maintained. The owner went our of her way to make us feel at home. There were excellent cooking facilities (in and out with the BBQ) so you could have a night in if you wanted to. It really did feel like home from home!

The beach is a 20 min drive away, although you could quite easily spend your days lounging by the pool!, and a day trip to Carcassonne is a must. The journey is about a hour but the roads are easy and there is some beautiful scenery. Carcasonne itself is a beautiful medieval walled city, there are some lovely shops on winding streets up near the castle and numerous restaurants too.

We would definately recommend this property to friends and family and hope to return ourselves at some point in the future.

Southern French Village at its Best

Midi Sailor Pointe-Claire, QC, Canada
Review Submitted: July 24, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
With six adults and two children we had a fantastic three weeks enjoying these accommodations. A pool, especially in the hot weather was very special where one of the children learned to swim. The house was very well equipped with a library, videos, TV and WFI, not to forget the dishwasher and washing machine. A choice of eating places between the court yard, summer kitchen or the dining room were all taken advantage of. The house location is super between the Canal de Midi and the center of town. Will certainly consider a return visit whenever possible. Capestang also offers a good assortment of restaurants, cafes and wine tasting within an easy walk.

Holiday 2008

owlllllllllll Bromley, Kent
Review Submitted: December 5, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
Fantastic holiday home for a family or group of friends who wish to enjoy lilfe in rural France.
The property itself is clean and well maintained, and has the advantage of its own pool. The rooms are tastefully decorated with two of the bedrooms offering spacious ensuite bathrooms. The large kitchen and dining area makes it ideal for self catering, additionally the barbeque and summer kitchen ensure you make the most of the summer evenings.
The village square with its market, restaurants and cafes enable you to sample the local food and drink in a relaxed and friendly environment.
There are numerous beaches and places of local and historical interest to visit, making sure there is something here for everyone to enjoy.
We thoroughly enjoyed our family holiday here and would recommend it to a friend.
