About this property
Charming cottage with large pool, garden & views of Pyrénées, near Carcassonne
This charming, authentic 2-bed cottage is nestled in the hillside between the medieval village of Montazels and the lively market town of Espéraza in the beautiful Aude Valley, near the Corbières Massif, in the sought-after south-west of France.
The cottage is located within easy walking distance of Espéraza's shops, restaurants, cafés, bars, and famous markets. It boasts a large private swimming pool with a sunny, secluded garden with stunning views over the foothills of the Pyrenees and up towards the pretty hilltop village of Rennes-le-Château. It is perfectly situated for a relaxing holiday in the beautiful Aude Valley. A hidden gem in the South of France that enjoys an average of 300 days of sun per year!
Visit Cathar castles; kayak in the nearby River Aude; eat at some of the region's best restaurants; cook with fresh ingredients bought at the local market, and enjoy the wonderful wine from France's biggest wine region - alongside the famous local Blanquette de Limoux.

About the host
Hosted by Fabien & Ben
Having lived in France for years and travelled all over the country, we personally fell in love with this region a few years ago, essentially because it is one of the most beautiful and unspoilt areas of France and offers a haven of peace from mass tourism even during the busy summer months. We adore the stunning mountain views, the historic Cathar castles, the unrivalled food and wine, the access to mountain lakes, and the bustling village markets, not to mention the ability to day-trip to great cities like Carcassonne, Béziers, Toulouse, Perpignan and Montpellier, and to the world-class beaches on the south-west coast. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with the rustic French charm of this rare railway cottage, but also with its huge, 1/2 acre garden which offers incredible views up to hilltop villages and over the foothills of the Pyrenees. It is a haven of peace but also within easy walking distance of Couiza's and Espéraza's shops, markets, bars and restaurants.
