L'Horto - Carcassonne

Located on the banks of the Aude River, just a stone's throw from the historic center of Carcassonne, L'Horto is the ideal place to stay in Carcassonne, whether for a short or long visit to the medieval city. L'Horto is a former family-run vegetable farm acquired around 1920. Its location is ideal for exploring Carcassonne on foot: the Canal du Midi, the Cité de Carcassonne, the Bastide Saint-Louis (the city center), with all its shops and activities, as well as the banks of the Aude River for lovely walks or bike rides. To cool off during the warmer months, a water park with a pool and spa area is just a 3-minute walk away. There are many attractions nearby: the Montagne Noire, where you can explore the ingenious water supply system of the Canal du Midi; the book village of Montolieu; Castelnaudary and its cassoulet; Limoux and its sparkling wines, the Cathar castles such as Saissac and Lastours, the dinosaur museum in Espéraza, the sea is less than an hour away, and the Corbières and Minervois regions are nearby. You’ll enjoy a “country” getaway while still being in Carcassonne. The 4,000 m² wooded garden is open to you and features sheep, chickens, miniature pigs, dogs, and cats. A private terrace is at your disposal, complete with patio furniture and a plancha grill, so you can fully enjoy your meals or relax after a day of sightseeing. The property is fenced with an electric remote-controlled gate; parking is available in front of your cottage in the courtyard, and the farm’s former pigsty serves as a bike storage area if needed. An electric car charging station is available on-site for an additional fee. The stone cottage features double-glazed windows and individual air conditioning in each of the two bedrooms; the ground-floor rooms are equipped with fans. You enter through a veranda, and a separate restroom is located right next to it. - First floor: a living room with a dining table, a sitting area with a sofa, armchairs, and a TV. A separate, fully equipped kitchen. - Upstairs: two air-conditioned bedrooms furnished in “1930s” and “1970s” styles, each with a TV and a 140-bed for 2x2 people, and a separate shared bathroom (shower, sink, and toilet). Your pets are welcome but must get along with ours.
