Location
The property is located in the small village of Ventenac-Cabardès, amongst lovely countryside, close to the famous Canal du Midi and Carcassonne (10 km). The village has a grocery shop (approx. 50 metres from the property).
Nearby Pennautier (4 km) with magnificent château and restaurant, bakery and supermarket.
Carcassonne, the capital of the Aude Region, has the largest walled Medieval fortress and city in Europe and is a major tourist destination in the summer. Many movies about the Crusaders and Medieval knights were filmed there, including the movie Robin Hood staring Kevin Costner. Restaurants and shops selling local goods fill the ancient Cité and on Bastille Day, July 14, the fireworks are the most spectacular in all of France.
Beautiful countryside for walking or hiking. Canal du Midi with its shady tree-lined tow-path ideal for cycling and long waterside lunches at local auberges and restaurants. Many historic sites to see including the famous Cathar trail.
Reviews
This has been our first villa holiday & you have certainly spoilt us for the future! We don't know how Maison Albarels could be bettered. You have done a fantastic job in converting your old family home into such a lovely villa.
Many thanks for your hospitality, especially your wine and juice on arrival and your lovely cherries - and also for trying to sort out the TV for us to watch the World Cup in English... Even if England were rubbish!
We loved Carcassonne - we went once by car and once by walking along the Canal du Midi at Pezens.. Also Château Pennaultier - a mini Versailles - was impressive and helpful staff in the restaurant/shop. Special mention to the lovely lady in the shop next door -always smiling and helpful even if our French was a bit limited!

Thank you for providing your guests with such a lovely environment for their vacation.
We have had a most enjoyable week using all the excellent facilities. Au revoir.

We would recommend eating at L'Ambrosia in Pezens, La Bergerie at Aragon and the restaurant at Le Château de Pennautier (ll quite local). Narbonne was a pleasant surprise (including its plage) for a day trip.

We had a really pleasant holiday in the villa and enjoyed the swimming-pool and the view from the garden in particular.
The air-conditioning is fantastic!
We found the bedrooms large and spacious and appreciated the fact that they were all ensuites.
