This property is like the Jewel in the Crown!!
Firstly, don't be put off by the small number of excellent reviews as it has only opened this year. The hosts, Katy and Olivier, were both working in England for many years at a high quality and popular hotel in the Yorkshire Dales. Katy's family owned this Yorkshire hotel and Olivier was the head chef. When the family sold the Hotel, Katy & Olivier returned to his native France and then the Maison du canal du midi was born. It's a beautiful old french house in Carcassonne with a spiral staircase leading to the three bedrooms on the first floor. (Don't worry about carrying your cases upstairs as Olivier is there to carry both ways.) You will be warmly welcomed and breakfasts are a real treat. Katy and Olivier will give you lots of advice. Truly, this is home from home. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable with new king size beds. Whilst the property doesn't have air conditioning they do have a supply of fans which kept my wife and myself nicely cool in temperatures approaching 40 degrees. You have access to the property at all times with an external key safe and just nothing is too much trouble for Katy and Olivier. Carcassonne is a most interesting place with it's star attraction being the 'The Cite' and it's rebuilding is a site well worth visiting. There is a little train available which takes you up and down from the Cite. If you are travelling to Carcassonne you won't regret staying at this property.
