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...

What a truly fantastic place, lovely rooms, great breakfast and a wonderful host. Plus a swimming pool.

We thoroughly enjoyed are stay! The pool and AC were a welcome relief from the heat. The hosts were excellent and we loved hearing about the work they’ve done to the house and the history of the delicious cassoulet they served up in the evening. I wish we’d stayed for longer.

What was unique was when we sat down to dinner, there were two other guests and the owners sat around the same table. More like a dinner party than a hotel restaurant scenario.

BJ and Iris were the perfect hosts. Nothing was too much trouble. The setting was great with wonderful views and a stones throw from Carcassonne city. Breakfast was wonderful with home made jams. BJ was also very kind to re freeze our ice packs for the onward journey. We will definitely be back.

stunning location - rustic French chic Beware the pizza/bar closes at 9pm secure garage for my motorbike was a welcome bonus

Our hosts were amazing. Anything we needed they provided, even dental floss. Very unique setting and perfect location to attend a wedding at the Chateau. Just a level 8 minute walk. We would definitely return to stay again.

Stunning property with lovely hosts. Food was excellent as was the service. In town was a great tapas too

Lovely hotel in an excellent location, just a short walk into the old town but also on a street with plenty of amenities of its own. Free parking nearby in the Place Barbicane which was easy to find and close to the hotel. The staff were really friendly and helpful, and breakfast was lovely, lots of choice and local products. The hotel garden was beautiful, and a cute if very small roof terrace too from which you can get a view of the city walls.

This is one of the best guesthouses I have stayed in for a very long time. Stunning food at breakfast and extremely helpful owner.

A very modern hotel, with excellent amenities and service. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Lovely shabby chic style hotel with lots of upcycled features within a renovated collection of buildings around a central courtyard. Attentive welcome from the owner and lots of nice touches, such as the gifting of a delicious homemade chocolate dessert on our final night. Makes a pleasant change from overly commercialised and formulaic hotels, where you are just part of a pipeline of guests - this feels more like staying with family or friends. Highly recommended

It has been a very pleasant stay for the whole family. Although we arrived later than planned and left in the morning, we could still feel that everything was prepared with care and attention to the detail. The lovely couple that is running the business was really friendly to us - we felt great at their home. I wish them many happy guests and I totally recommend Villa Celine to everyone. Best of luck!

One of the best hotels I have stayed at. In beautiful surroundings with a rustic charm but with fantastic modern rooms. The staff were amazing, couldn't do enough for you and were bilingual, which was a big help for me. Effortlessly conversing in English and German. The bed was comfy, the shower amazing and the TV a nice big size. The restaurant was fabulous and every meal I had there was delicious. I loved the outside areas too, either cooling off in the pool, reading a book in the tranquil...

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this first class hotel. The staff were professional, treated us well and with respect. There were many occasions when we were able to engage in humorous banter with members of staff and this we appreciated. Our room was in a quiet location at the back of the hotel overlooking the garden. The breakfasts were of top quality and offered a great choice.
