It consists of a large south facing room (large window overlooking large terraces), with kitchen and bathroom apart. You will be able to eat outside, possibly shelter. This 35sqm apartment is tucked away in a large flower and beautifully wooded land located 9 km from Carcassonne. Bicycles are available. You will remain a few hundred meters from a lovely village (trade, mail, tennis) with stunning views of Black Mountain and the Pyrenees. Close to the Cathar castles, giant Cabrespine and village of the book (Montolieu) you will not miss exits opportunities. The owners will be happy to advise you to fully enjoy your stay (itineraries, tours, wine, tips ...) The apartment is particularly well oriented: morning, the trees keeps the sweetness of the night. From noon daylight roof protects from the sun and keeps the temperate house. A large covered terrace offers a privileged space for dining, reading or lounging. The pool faces the studio and you will be practically reserved (we're just two). Solar shower, sun loungers are available. You can park right next to the house in a reserved area. The place is very quiet and pleasant. By pursuing the path of Aragon small winding road will lead you to the foothills of the Black Mountains and the picturesque village of Aragon. Several so-called Cathar castles (Lastours, Saissac ...) and abbeys (Villelongue Caunes Minervois ...) are less than a quarter of an hour. The Canal du Midi, near, also allows unforgettable bike rides (canal bridges, ports, inns locks ...) We do our best to inform tenants and allow them to spend a relaxing and memorable. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Fenced private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Kitchenette - Microwave - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (on request) ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village ### Things to do - Bicycles - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Swimming nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property;

Jul 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Stay at Cottage in Ventenac- Cabarades The most lovely stay in this beautiful little cottage in the foothills of Les Montagnes Noires. The cottage is spacious, well equipped and situated in a gorgeous garden which guests can enjoy- the highlight of which is a beautiful pool which is wonderful in hot weather! The pool is shared with the hosts, but we had lots of access and would always have the pool to ourselves. The cottage is also sheltered under the shade of trees which help to keep it cool even in high temperatures.The cottage is in a great location to explore the lovely Montagnes Noires and their great swimming lakes, cute historical French towns, the Canal du Midi and of course the medieval city of Carcassonne is just 15 minutes away, as is the airport. Our hosts, Norbert and Monique were really helpful with all aspects of the cottage and a fount of knowledge on the locality with great suggestions of places to visit - and the kindest hosts. Highly recommend - and we look forward to a return visit! Thank you! ##### Karen S. Stayed 16 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### nelly C.

Das Appartment liegt sehr ruhig aber nahe genug an vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Auto ist natürlich absolutes Muß. Es hat viel Platz zum Spielen und einen Salzwasserpool. Einen Hinweis trotzdem; es ist sehr geräumig, besteht aber aus 1 Zimmer, also Schlaf- Wohnraum incl Küche, Dusche und Toilette. ##### Detlef R.

May 20, 2019 #### relaxing spring break We planned a relaxing springbreak and found an absolute nice spot nearby Carcassonne: a warm welcome, lots of information about the region, kind help with problems. Norbert and Monique made us feel very comfortable en encouraged us in discovering the region. A clean, comfortable house with a nice view. We recommend it strongly! ##### Nele E. Stayed 7 nights in May 2019 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Maura W. Sep 10, 2018 #### Quiet, studio/cottage convenient to Carcassonne. The studio/cottage is tucked away in the beautiful grounds of Norbert and Monique’s home. Our hosts were very pleasant and hospitable without being intrusive. We had use of the pool at any time plus the use of the bicycles on site- great for cycling along the Canal du Midi. We hired a car from Carcassonne airport and went touring most days, guided by Norbert and Monique’s excellent local knowledge. The cottage is compact but spacious enough for 2 people comfortably and is clean and well equipped, with nice outdoor area as well. A car is necessary for getting around as there is very little public transport in this area, but the roads are good and very quiet in the rural areas. There are lots of interesting places to visit. A lovely, relaxing week and good weather as well. ##### Maura W. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2018 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nolwenn C.

Apr 22, 2016 #### Gîte calme Lieu agréable, dans environnement calme, face au jardin arboré près de la maison du propriétaire. Surprise en découvrant le gîte! Vous pouvez sans problème communiquer avec votre conjoint sur les toilettes et vous préparant le repas. Il s'agit d'une pièce unique dans laquelle il est possible à la fois de manger(plaques électriques très lentes), dormir(matelas un peu trop mou), se laver et le reste malheureusement(pipi-caca). Vous l'avez compris il n'y a pas aucune porte. Ce qui n'enlève en rien la gentillesse du propriétaire. ##### Daniel V. Archival ### 8/10 Good #### Laure T. Oct 17, 2012 #### Location agréable Nous avons passé une semaine à 2 (sans enfant) dans cette location agréable qui bénéficie d’un environnement calme et paisible. Les propriétaires, particulièrement accueillants (mais pas envahissants !), nous ont fait profiter de leur connaissance et de leur amour de la région en nous conseillant sur notre programme de la semaine. En outre, un carnet mis à notre disposition regroupant les suggestions et appréciations des précédents locataires sur les lieux de visites, s’est aussi révélé très utile pour nous. Il ne nous est pas apparu pendant le séjour que des éléments du descriptif de la location étaient manquants. Au final nous avons passé un très bon séjour. ##### Laure T.
