Reviews of Property: Maison Juliette: Large luxury stone house in the centre of Carcassonne

We just returned from our southern France adventure (two couples). Our rental car allowed us to use it as a hub to explore this whole beautiful area.

The house was full of charm and very clean. Beds for couples were two twins pushed together, but still very comfortable. They were advertised as queens, so the double twins were a surprise, and I normally find them uncomfortable. I'm glad these worked out.

Parking was always available right outside the door, and the bakery proximity was a plus. We chose Bastille week for our visit and saw the best fireworks I've ever seen in my life! Truly a highlight. Even the crowds could not take away from the fairytale Cite.

We chose to drive down to the coast (Collioure), up north to a red city (Albi, Cordes-sur-Ciel), south to Limoux and various castles, north to cave and hiking territory, and sipped our way through Corbieres. I have to say, for someone who hates driving trips, the driving was spectacular; so many picturesque towns and castles!

I really wish this form allowed for a 4.5 rating, as this house really met almost all of our needs. The only things holding back from the highest rating were lack of air conditioning (however, we chose the hottest month to visit), and lack of phone. We do not have international cell phones and found that to be a difficulty on both ends of our stay.

We rent houses frequently for our vacations and were pleased with this one. Our next rental house vacation has some big shoes to fill.

We (6 Mums on a 3 night break) would highly recommend Maison Juliette. We had a fabulous time from the moment we crossed the extemely grand front door. The house is excellently equipped with lots of added extras making the experience one to remember. The original / period features create a real 'wow factor' as well as the house having all mod cons. The walled garden courtyard was wonderfully peaceful and well equipped with plently of furniture for alfresco dining and wine sampling. Although the garden is surrounded by tall buildings we got the sun from around 9 am until 7 pm.

Jeannine (one of the owners) was extremely helpful throughout the whole booking process and this combined with the website and handbook meant that we could not fail to enjoy the experience of Carcassonne. Lesa (the property agent) was also very helful and a great source of information.

We would recommend Restaurant Le Saint-Jean in La Cite for eating out as well the wine shop around the corner from Maison Juliette (the wine shop gave us a free bottle of wine and a 10% discount when we mentioned where we were staying - however it could have been due to the amount of wine we puchased and consumed during our stay??

We are planning to return to Maison Juliette and Carcassonne and are working on our husbands at present to get this into the calendar as an annual event.

Thanks very much for the experience as well as making us so welcome as well as your attention to detail within the house.

We, 4 couples rented the house in early April. Everything was great. It is a beautiful, spotless, well equiped, spacious and well-maintained house in a good location. We found it an easy, 20 min. walk to La Cité, which is an amazing site and a small bakery and grocery were only 5 min. away. The Sat. market is wonderful. The advantage of going in April is that you miss the crowds but the disadvantage is that the weather might not be too dry or warm. I would strongly recommend this house to everyone.

This is an elegant home that is beautifully appointed. You can walk to the Cite' and to most locations in the town. It is well maintained and the rental transaction with the owner was handled efficiently.

I would definitely recommend this property.

Maison Juliette is a lovely house, which we found very comfortable, and very convenient from the point of view of all the equipment and furnishings, and also for access to the centre of the town, the old city, and the main routes. The local agent was very pleasant and very helpful.

We had rented cars so we were able to see a lot of the area without spending too much time on the road, to various historic sites, vineyards and walks as well as restaurants, and of course the castle. And the weather for the most part was excellent for this time of year.

We will certainly be pleased to recommend the maison and the location to our friends.

Well located for both the old town of Carcassone and the Fortified Citie.
Luxuriously appointed 4 double bedrooms and kitchen and 2 reception rooms
Outside dining would be great in the shadey garden, we only managed 10.30 breakfasts at the end of September.
Lisa the local contact is very helpfull
Lots of dining out potential--try L'Ecurie on the Boulevard
Patisserie very close for fresh croissants etc.
