About this property

MAISON BACCHUS - Medieval Family House

Beautiful renovation made with painstaking care to create a calm and comfortable atmosphere! From the moment you walk in you feel the sense of minimalism with attention to detail to bring the medieval times to life. The inside of the house always stays cool, even on the hottest summer days.

The stylish 165m2 medieval house is located near the banks of the river Orbieu in the beautiful medieval village Lagrasse, in Southern France.

The furnished property includes a private entrance, spacious & light living area, dining room table, fully equipped kitchen, full bathrooms with cabin showers and design marble handwash basins, a lovely private terrace ideal for enjoying a breakfast or relaxing and two bedrooms with luxurious beds with pillow top mattress and comfy pillows. The house can comfortably sleep 6.
(Please bring your own beach towels)

I have also equipped the property with washing / drying machine, high-speed wifi, flat screen wall mounted TV, books, hairdryer, iron & ironing board, maps and guides to the local area and board games for fun and cosy nights.

Maison Bacchus is a family house with a special character intended to be rented primarily to families. It can also be shared between friends who are not looking for total privacy. This can be clearly seen in the photos: The house is laid out in such a way that there is a lot of sharing between the people living there.

If your main goal is to seek more privacy, then I think a hotel or motel with individual rooms would be most suitable.

I must also point out that Maison Bacchus is not the right house for elderly people with mobility problems, nor is it the right house for children under 4 years old. I think that in such cases another type of accommodation would certainly be more appropriate.

Next year, in 2025, there will be a table football and large chess pieces to play on the ground floor of the house.

Lagrasse is listed as one of the most beautiful villages in France and has a vibrant, bustling atmosphere, renowned for its artisan culture. Surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, rosemary, thyme and cyprus trees, Lagrasse Is located in the heart of the Corbieres between Carcassonne and Narbonne and only 40 minute from the beaches of the Mediteranean and 3 hours away from Barcelona. It provides not only an ideal base to explore this rich and historic region - Over a dozen medieval fortresses and castles just 40 km nearby -/ but also acts as a destination in itself (One of the oldest Abbeys of France tracking back to the VIII century, first constructed in the times of emperor Charlemagne.)

Visitors can be swimming along the river in the evening sun and then within ten minutes enjoying one of the many local wines at a bar or a restaurant in the heart of the old village. Rarely a week goes past in the summer without a festival, a ‘brocante’, or a concert in the abbey.

The village has several excellent restaurants, offering traditional / contemporary menus, a pizzeria, a bakery, café/bar, delicatessen, tabac, post office, doctors, chemist, galleries and many ‘caves’ selling their own wine.

There are airports at Bezier and Carcasonne. We would recommend hiring a car from the airport, it is a 40 minute drive to Lagrasse from Carcasonne, and 1 hour from Bezier.

Stunning friendly village location, beautiful home.

We had 5 days at the gorgeous medieval village of Lagrasse. There were lovely shops and restaurants. The river was so refreshing to swim in, and the locals made us feel welcome. We were able to drive to many stunning locations through beautiful landscapes. We Highly recommend this place.

The joy of Lagrasse

Great stay in a great village

We enjoyed a lovely stay at Maison Bacchus. It is a quirky and charming property, which is a good size for a family of four. It has been thoughtfully decorated, and is clean and well-maintained. The kitchen is a nice place to sit, eat and chat. The property is right at the heart of Lagrasse, a stone's throw from the main market square, which has events throughout the summer months. We arrived to find a world music festival in full swing, which sounded good. The river beach is less than five minutes walk away. We stayed with two children aged 6 and 9, who had no problems with the stairs in the property. The showers/bathrooms were particularly good. Parking is available at the public car park (P2) for €20 per week or €3 per day. The car park was always quite busy but we never had a problem finding a spot. The owner is very considerate and quick to respond to messages. Overall, a very good place to stay in one of the most beautiful villages in France!

Décevant

Très déçus par l'agencement de la maison qui ne possède en réalité qu'une chambre. Les autres "chambres " sont des espaces ouverts sans aucune intimité. C'était malheureusement notre critère principal.... Attention aux escaliers extrêmement raides pour accéder au deuxième étage, ils peuvent constituer un réel danger pour des enfants et des personnes âgées. Finalement la maison nécessite un éclairage électrique permanent dans certaines pièces. En revanche, la cuisine est très agréable, la localisation est parfaite, à 5 minutes de la rivière et dans le centre du village.

Je suis désolé de recevoir une si mauvaise critique. Mais Alix, tu n'as pas vu qu'il s'agit d'une maison familiale destinée à être louée principalement à des familles ? Ne montre-t-on pas parfaitement sur les photos que la maison est distribuée de telle manière qu'une grande partie est partagée entre les personnes qui y vivent ? Je suppose que 5 adultes recherchaient leur intimité lors de la location de la maison. Mais je pense qu'un hôtel ou un motel avec des chambres serait le plus approprié pour vous qui souhaitez éventuellement réduire les coûts. Bien entendu je préciserai dans l'annonce que cette maison est avant tout destinée aux familles.

Grand et frais

maison plein centre, fraiche, vaste rdc où nous suggérons d'ailleurs de rajouter un grand lit ( pliable ou pas ) ou 2 lits car la deuxieme salle de bain se trouve au rdc.(repartition couchages plus adaptée si deux couples amis ) les 2 chambres du haut restant adaptees pour couple avec enfants.

Bonjour Briggte - Veuillez noter que cette maison est destinée principalement à un usage familial. L'agencement est parfaitement illustré sur les photos. Si vous êtes quatre adultes qui souhaitent avoir de l'intimité mais réduire le coût du séjour en louant une maison, je vous conseillerais de prendre des chambres d'hôtel ou une maison avec moins d'espaces partagés. Bien sûr, elles vous coûteront plus cher. J'apprécierais également votre avis constructif. L'année prochaine, je mettrai un canapé-lit et un baby-foot au rez-de-chaussée pour que les enfants puissent jouer. Je prévois également d'acheter des pièces d'échecs géantes pour que les enfants et les adultes puissent jouer ensemble. Merci.

Lieu idéal

La maison est idéalement située pour rayonner dans les Corbières et jusqu'à la mer. Nous avons passé 10 jours parfait avec 2 enfants de 10 et 12 ans. La proximité de la rivière est un vrai plus pour se baigner en fin de journée. La maison est propre, bien aménagée et équipée. L'arrivée/depart sont facilités au maximum. Seul petit bémol pour nous, la literie ferme et grinçante. Nous avons passé

Chère Sylvie: Au début, vous disiez que vous étiez en couple. Ensuite, vous avez décidé d'amener 2 adultes de plus dans la maison. Quoi qu'il en soit, comme je l'ai dit, c'est une maison de famille, pas un hôtel. Merci pour la bonne note. Alba et Johann
