There a step up to the open kitchen with a convection oven, refrigerator, freezer, plenty of counter space and glass doorway to the private courtyard Beyond. The courtyard is a lovely plant filled oasis that is sunny in the morning and refreshingly shady in the hot afternoons in summer. There is a table and seating for up to 6 to enjoy coffee in the morning or dining alfresco and barbecuing.
The house has seen many changes in it's lifetime and like so many of these ancient stone structures, stood empty and forgotten for many years. That is until it was completely renovated and became a ...

Charming cozy Maison
We spent 8 days here and really enjoyed ourselves. The home is clean, well stocked with daily essentials (toilet paper, dish soap, bath towels, etc) and the decor makes it feel charming yet homey. Shelley is a great host. Great communication from day one til the day we left. We will definitely be back :-)

Thank you for your kind review. I’m so happy you enjoyed your stay during the unseasonably and unexpected warm weather. I enjoyed the photos of your girls watering the flowers. Please thank them for me. We look forward to you returning for more exploring of all that Southern France has to offer.

What a beautiful house in a beautiful part of the world. It was stylishly furnished with a secluded courtyard, very cool in the high temperatures. I would highly recommend this to anyone wishing to visit the region.All questions were answered almost immediately by the owner, Shelly, who was a pleasure to deal with. We will be looking to re book next year, hopefully.

Thank you Howard
We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and glad you survived the heat you were worried about.. my only regret is not being able to meet and greet you ourselves. Suzanne told me your group was very nice and you appreciated and took care of our home. Thanks again, and welcome back any time.

Great home-base for other surrounding towns and villages.
This is the perfect French country village vacation stay. Modern appliances and conveniences blend with traditional cottage architecture. The layout on each of the three floors is inviting and practical. The downstairs living area and kitchen have the necessities where you expect them to be. The upstairs bath and bedrooms are both specious and comfortable, with a walk in shower and clothes washer. The town itself has a grocery, meat market and bakery.
We were there in the early fall. The days were warm and the night there was chilly, but no problem, there is a nice fireplace in the living room. In short, this is a great place to spend a few days or longer.
Great home-base for other surrounding towns and villages.

Encantador sitio. Muy confortable y agradable
La casa es muy confortable y bonita y está tal y como se muestra en las fotos. Limpia y más que correctamente equipada (aunque es cuestión de costumbres. Nosotros, únicamente echamos en falta un microondas). Tanto el pequeño pueblo como la calle donde se ubica son muy tranquilos, perfectos para descansar y aislarse un poco de todo a la vez que disfrutando de la naturaleza a un par de minutos paseando. Está muy bien situada para hacer todo tipo de turismo: cultura, paseos, historia, lo que uno prefiera. Susanne y su compañero fueron muy agradables y nos atendieron muy amablemente. Si nos surge la posibilidad, intentaremos volver.

An old house in the very middle of a beautiful village. The place, the Montaigne Noire reservoire, is an amazing place for hiking through forests, fields and lakes. The house is very beautiful and cozy, with a small patio perfect to read and eat .

Delightful Attached Village House
This was a marvelous place to stay and see Southern France with all it's historical ruins, Canal Midi, Carcassonne, Narbonne, and beautiful little villages.
It was fully equipped with everything you would need to make your stay a pleasure. The beds were lovely and comfortable, loved the linen sheets, the bathroom was nicely done. The patio outside the kitchen made dining alfresco divine. Reading on the upper floor, looking over the rooftops, transported you to another time.
When we arrived the couple managing the place greeted us and oriented us to the well stocked shops in the village.
The place has been tastefully restored and we look forward to visiting again

About the neighborhood
A peaceful village at the foot of the Montagne Noir, located in the heart of Pays Cathare, Cuxac-Cabardes was organized in the ninth century around it's church Sainte-Cecile on the Dure River. The church is an inscribed Historic Monument and retains it's unique tower. In the middle ages, Cuxac-Cabardes had an important fortified castle, and the village endured many battles during the Cathar Wars because of it's central position between Carcassonne, Albi, Lastours and Saissac.
Situated at 509 meters above sea level in the Dure river Valley, it is surrounded by unspoiled countryside at the foot of the Black Mountain.
The town has shops and a playground for children and is near the castles of Lastours, Saissac and Hautpoul.
