On the second floor: an attic bedroom with private bathroom and Tropezian terrace with panoramic view. Conviviality guaranteed with a living room and a kitchen that can accommodate all the guests simultaneously. This is the ideal place to welcome a large family or to meet up with friends. This is our own family home that we rent out from time to time. You will find all our history inside: furniture, photos, souvenirs... It is not a soulless house designed and intended only for rental, which is why it gives it an irresistible charm! 2-hectare park with swimming pool, century-old trees and large lawns. Children's games (zip line, trampoline, rope, slide, fun course, swings, ping-pong, tree house, cross-country course ...). It is bordered by 5 hectares of vines belonging to the estate. The exterior of the house has a huge terrace equipped with outdoor lounges and a dining table that can accommodate all the tenants simultaneously. We have a private mini farm with donkeys, horses, llamas, alpacas, goats, sheep, mouflons, cows, yaks, deer, chickens, ducks, geese. The animals walk along the fence through which you can pet them but for security reasons you will not be able to enter the park although all our animals are very little wild. The park is located about ten meters from the house, so the animals are an integral part of the decor! Total nature, immersion in the countryside. 10 minutes by taxi from the airport or from the train station. A deposit of €5000 is required before arrival. We have been renting our house for 10 years. We have just undertaken considerable work and after two years of hard work, our house will reopen for rental from April 2025. The work is not yet finished and that is why very few photos are available. Trust us, it will be magnificent!! Travellers will have access to all facilities, but cannot enter the animal park. Children's playground, 4.3m trampoline, 30m zip line (max. age 10 years), 3 swings, 1 large tree house, cross country and a mini zoo farm! Parties are not allowed and it is strictly forbidden to receive other people beyond those provided for in the reservation. Any violation of these rules results in the immediate nullity of the contract and thus the expulsion of all tenants without compensation for the remaining nights. A few days before arrival we give all the useful information to the tenants for their stay. Whether it is about our house, its environment or in relation to the medieval city. We also give a list with our favorite restaurants (which is very useful because there are very good ones but also very bad ones...). We are located in the countryside and in a quiet area. Only the moans of our donkeys can disturb! However, we are located only 200m as the crow flies from the city center but the Aude river forms a border between our property and the city. And there is no bridge there to cross it which allows us to have this privileged location close to everything but in peace and quiet. The first neighbors are located more than 100m from the edge of the property. The path to the medieval city is pedestrian. It is lit at night and is absolutely not dangerous. It is the same path that is taken by the customers of the campsite located right next to our house. For this reason this path is very busy and you will never find yourself alone there. House located 10 minutes by taxi from the train station or from the airport. Car rental possible at the airport (not at the train station). To get to the medieval city: 15 minutes on foot is enough by taking a pedestrian path. Or else 5 minutes by car. To get to the city center of Carcassonne: 20 minutes on foot is enough to get there by taking a pedestrian path. Or else 5 minutes by car. To go shopping in the supermarkets: 5 minutes by car. Our two Saint Bernard dogs will keep you company throughout your stay. They are extremely kind to adults and children. If the presence of our dogs is a problem for you, we can remove them on request a few days before your arrival. We feed our dogs as well as the animals in the park every day. We do this discreetly by passing through the back of the estate without being visible.

Thank you Heather and all your family for choosing our family home for your holidays in Carcassonne. It was a pleasure to welcome you and we are delighted to know that you had had an excellent holiday.

Amazing house with great hospitality from Stéphane. Fantastic location for relaxing, big family gathering but also activities like running, cycling, sightseeing and shopping. We enjoyed every bit of it. It’s a luxury hotel experience!
La Jasso is a stunning propert with amazing mod cons and great grounds with a pool, children playground and a small animal holding which is perfect for young kids to keep entertained.
It is a 15mins walk to the medieval castle. The kitchen is well equipped and so is the laundry room, making it a very convenient home to home option.
Nous avons passé un super séjour entre amis chez Stéphane, la propriété est spacieuse, décorée avec goût et idéalement située. Les commodités sont vraiment complètes, nous n'avons manqué de rien. Stéphane est très sympa et réactif.
The place is outstanding. The owners work in the hotel industry and have built qbd organized their place in the same way. All the kitchen apparel is top notch and the several rooms are very well decorated. The garden is breathtaking and our 6 kids did not have enough time to venture around as there was mich to keep them busy. Logistics and communication with the owner was flawless. Overall much recommended. Thank you Stephane.
We had a wonderful week in Carcisonne at Steaphane & Cecile's gorgeous house. We were greeted by Stephane, who was an excellent host and gave very detailed information about the area before we arrived. We found the supermarket easily and enjoyed walks into the old city. But most of all we enjoyed the house, the pool and most definitely the favourite room in the house was the kitchen.
The house was clean and tidy and the rooms perfect on arrival. We enjoyed the house and the grounds were gorgeous. Heidi was an extra lovely companion, and you wouldn't know she was there (unless you were eating steak).
We would definitely stay again, our main regret was that we only had one week and would have loved longer to experience more of the area. The beach in Narbonne was lovely for a day, but I am sure there are some wonderful coastal areas to visit.
Thank you very much for a wonderful stay in your goegous house.

We sincerely thank you for your stay in Carcassonne and in our house. We are delighted to know that you had a very good stay and that you appreciated our dog Heidi and our facilities. Looking forward to welcoming you again, Cécile and Stéphane.
It would not be possible to praise this estate too highly. Everything inside and out is perfection
A welcoming arrival with careful explanations. A professional grade kitchen and huge kitchen/ dining area was most used. Plenty of bathroom facilities and everything worked well. The outside is spacious and well thought for enjoyment of beauty, privacy and socializing. The pool and “zoo” are focal points for adults and children but both well away from the spacious beautifully groomed grounds.
The walk into town ,either the Cité or the City is convenient and delightful.
Anywhere we spent time we were in awe at how everything was thought out and organized.
Thank you Stéphane for a most perfect place for our large family to gather and hiliday in a world of decadence.
We hope to return soon.

Magnifique propriété idéale pour des vacances en Famille
Incroyable! La maison est magnifique, spacieuse et décorée avec soin et goût. La cuisine est immense et bien équipée. Que dire de l'espace extérieur, du coins piscine du Zoo et du terrain de jeux pour les enfants. Nous n'oublierons pas de sitôt les soupers à l'extérieurs sous les arbres. Stéphane fut un excellent hôte. Propriété parfaite pour des vacances inoubliables en famille.

Wonderful family rental property in a great location. Spacious house & well kept grounds
We stayed at Domaine Jasso for 2 weeks this summer as a family of 13 including one toddler. Property perfectly suited to this type of gathering. Grounds are incredibly secure giving the kids free reign to form their own adventures. The pool was great and easily big enough for all of us - provided some good shade by the trees in the afternoon. So many activities for the kids: tree house, zip wire, bmx track, table tennis, trampoline, film room (great for rest from the sun), feeding the animals....list goes on!
The house itself is very spacious with plenty of room for noisy kids & quieter areas for relaxed grandparents! All rooms very neat & tidy with good bathrooms. Bathrooms were shared but with a little planning, there were no arguments at shower time.
Property is in a great location - nestled amongst the very well kept vineyards but only 15-20min walk from La Cité or slightly further across the vieux pont to get to the Bastide. Lots of restaurants/bars within walking distance so plenty of opportunity to enjoy the local rosé!
Car needed for trips to supermarket (main centre de commerce out towards airport).
Stéphane is a great host - always responsive if we had a query & full of useful information. Merci Monsieur!
And last but not least, Heidi, the resident guard dog. A gentle giant of a St Bernard but a great character. My son has dog phobia but Heidi really helped in putting his fears to rest. The kids wanted to bring her back to England!
Merci encore Stéphane - a great holiday at a highly recommended location.

A luxurious and well appointed manner house situated amidst a menagerie and vineyard.
We had a very fine stay. The children (and adults, for that matter) loved feeding the animals. They named many! The swimming pool was also a great source of pleasure. The house worked well for eleven of us. The kitchen is trois etoiles. There are actually more bathroom facilities than listed (all in great condition), although I do think it should be noted that three of the six bedrooms are NOT air conditioned (the remainder of the very large house is, and it also provides wonderful media facilities). Carcassonne the Cite is a fifteen minute walk along a beautiful riverside path, while the town is a 3 or 4K drive. The Canal du Midi provides an excellent place for runs, walks, and bike rides. Principal places w/i a reasonable drive are Toulouse, Albi, Narbonne, beaches by the sea and endless sights in the Pyrenees--lovely villages, Cathar mountain-top castles, hiking trails, etc. The host/owner was present to greet us, gave us lots of info, and was fabulous in addressing the minor crisis of rental car keys locked in the car trunk. This is a place for a large group--you can stay self contained on the estate with plenty to do, or use it as a base of Occitan operations.

Beautiful house in a beautiful location!
A very well equipped property with enough space for a large family or group to be together or find a bit of space. Our family loved the gardens for sunbathing football and frisbee games. The pool was great really deep at one end and safely fenced off. The trampoline was a great hit particularly with the younger memebers of the family. Everyone loved feeding the animals. Quite a walk from the Cite but with the amount we ate and drank this was a good thing. The owner Stéphane was very helpful and friendly, but most off all we loved the family dog who resides on site a beautiful gentle giant.

Maison fantastique
Selected this property for a family reunion and the house and grounds exceed our expectations. This large family house was very comfortable and with room and amenities to cater for 12 people ranging from 5 to 90 year olds.
Stéphane was a very gracious host, who welcomed us all and spent enough time to show us around the house and garden. He was also very responsive on any further queries we had about the property. He went above and beyond, driving some of the family back to Carcassonne Airport.
Merci beaucoup, Stéphane for allowing us to experience this oasis in this part of France

Hautement recommendable
Nous avons passé au cours de ce mois d'Août 2016 , 15 jours au domaine de la Jasso. Deux groupes familiaux (12 adultes et 3 jeunes ou très jeunes enfants au plus fort de notre occupation) ont cohabité sans problème dans cette très belle maison , dotée de finitions de qualité et de vastes espaces.
Difficile de ne pas se mettre aux fourneaux dans la cuisine spectaculaire ( 80 m² ! ) , dotée d'aménagements dignes d'un professionnel.
La piscine mériterait vraisemblablement de bénéficier d'un deck plus vaste qui serait plus confortable que l'aménagement actuel.
Très grand jardin qui a fait le bonheur des enfants ( agrès , balançoires , trampoline) , le parc animalier n'étant pas étranger à son attrait.
Si l'on rajoute à cela la Cité de Carcassonne à 20 minutes à pied ,la très grande gentillesse et le très grand professionnalisme des propriétaires , location hautement recommandable.

domaine de la jasso - excellent
We spent a week in 'Domaine de la Jasso' in Carcassonne and we really liked it. The house -situated in vineyards- is beautifully renovated and very well equipped. There is a very good, large pool and for the kids there is a large play area, incl a zip wire and a tree house.
The owners are very helpful and have given us good advice on restaurants, activities to do with children and where best to buy wine.
The location of the house is also very good, just outside of Carcasssonne. The medieval castle is a 20min walk away, while the newer part of the town is 10min by bike (all flat) or a short drive - parking in the 'new' town was never difficult. In the surroundings of Carcassonne there is plentiful nature to enjoy as well as Cathar castles, the Canal du Midi and countless wine estates.
We definitely recommend this house for a family holiday in the south of France.

WOW. Simply wonderful. A magical house.
A perfect chateau to stay with a large family or friends. Just 10 minute walk from Carcassone old town. Beautiful spacious and tasteful interiors and wonderful grounds including a zoo, vineyards, pool, zip wire to name a few. Run by a wonderful french couple - I would recommend this to anyone.

Best vacation home
Just returned from a week in this incredible holiday house. Very comfortable, very elegant, all home
Comforts and incredibly well equipped kitchen, tv with games and endless movies. Our kids adored the large garden, Heidi the dog and all the other animals.
