Wonderful house with everything you need for a relaxing stay .
We loved staying at Petite Chateau. The owners were quick to confirm our booking and all the arrangements for keys were sent promptly, including detailed directions from the airport . When we arrived, the place was exactly as described, and was furnished beautifully. The WIFI is very quick ! We spent mornings on the kitchen terrace and afternoons visiting a wealth of amazing places all within very easy reach . The view from the roof is wonderful ! Carcassonne, The medieval Cité, Toulouse (about 45 mins), Canal du Midi and Lac de la Cavayère for adventure seekers, are all within a short drive. We had a ball. A restaurant and bar just over the road for the evenings - holiday perfection !

Lovely accommodation, great location
We have just returned from a very enjoyable 10 days at Petite Chateau, the accommodation was clean, comfortable and very well equipped. The roof terrace is perfect for catching the sun. The property is ideally located to explore the Languedoc region, we particularly enjoyed visiting the towns and villages along the canal du midi.

Wonderful!
The house has everything you could possibly require for your stay. Rooms are very well conditioned and comfortable, and the terrace with the breeze in the evening was fantastic. Andy and Chris were accommodating and lovely hosts. Village has a few shops, but recommend hotel across the road for the restaurant.

A lovely house which was very clean and well presented and stocked with everything we needed.
Firstly we would like to thank Andy and Chris for the help and information given to us beforehand which proved invaluable. We were extremely impressed with the house and the outside space to the extent that most evenings were spent barbecuing and drinking the excellent wine from the wine cave down the road. The roof terrace was perfect for sunbathing during the day. A most enjoyable holiday in a picturesque and tranquil village with friendly locals. The city of Carcassonne, the nearby canal du midi and the beaches of Languedoc and Russillon, particularly Le Franqui, were all well worth the visits. Overall a tastefully furnished property in a great location.

Petite Chateau...A Home away from Home
Our overall impression of this property was that it was comfortable, spacious and spotlessly clean. Very rare to get three out of three but you do here. A lot of thought has gone into making this home special, thank you Andy & Chris for making it so. Capendu is a lovely village, and after acquainting ourselves with the surrounding area, we felt very much at home here. Two weeks went by in a flash, and we enjoyed every minute of our stay.

About the host

Hosted by ANDREW HILL

Host profile image
Welcome to Petite Chateau from Andy and Chris.Andy is a carpenter and joiner and Chris works for the civil service.We bought the house in 2010 as we had 16 years before retirement and we had travelled to different places on holiday in the world including renting cottages in the UK, we decided we would like to have a holiday home in the sun and make it a home from home and use it as a base to explore the South of France.We like our home comforts as you will soon discover if you ever visit. We are not residents in France but visit whenever we can. Now it is completed we are looking forward to spending time relaxing and enjoying the surroundings and some of the many local wines.

Why they chose this property

We chose the city of Carcassonne with its airport only 25 minutes drive away from Capendu which was where we found the house we now call Petite Chateau, full of character and a warm homely feel as you walk through the house. Over the last 4 years we have lovingly restored the house to give it a new lease of life. It has been a labour of love for us and all the work has been carried out by ourselves apart from the plumbing and electrical re-wiring as qualified tradesmen were used to do this. It is an ideal base to explore the surrounding countryside and mountains of the local area to the beautiful beaches of the mediterranean sea. We now look forward to using the house ourselves for holidays and are happy to let the house out for people to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

Petite Chateau is conveniently situated between Carcassonne and Narbonne on the main coast road. There is an airport and train station in Carcassonne, a train station in Narbonne and 3 other airports within an hours drive. The main auto route has an exit in Trebes just 7 miles away. The bus route from Carcassonne to Narbonne passes on the main road, with bus stops very close to the house.

Capendu has everything you need for your stay here, it has all the amenities within a few minutes walk.
