La Maison sur la Colline

Delphine was so helpful and friendly! Our bed was beautifully comfortable and that is one thing that we struggle with when we go away …..so we were really pleased! The farmhouse was rustic, very French and charming. Breakfast was really tasty and Delphine makes all the cakes herself which are gorgeous! The weather was really warm and we decided on two occasions to relax around the swimming pool which was an added bonus! The house had been recommended to us by friends so we knew that it was a half hour walk in to town through the vineyards so were prepared for that and took sensible shoes to walk in. It was beautiful to walk home along the country lane after some lovely French cheese and wine in town, looking at the stars as there is no light pollution there! Altogether a fantastic few days and we have arrived home refreshed and ready for another few busy months at work running our cottages. Hospitality isn’t an easy job…..but Delphine does it very well. Thank you for a lovely time…. We hope to come back one day.

Nothing

Such a fabulous, beautiful place and with the best ever hostess. Gorgeous old world charm with a tranquil pool area and delicious breakfast - don’t miss the chance to have dinner here too - give Delphine notice and she will cook you the most memorable meal - local speciality dishes accompanied by local wines - just wonderful!!! Great location - just a 20min straight walk along a very quiet road through the vineyards and you reach the old town city walls - inside (and outside) are many lovely bars and restaurants.

Perfect

We had a fantastic stay at La Maison sur la Colline, we loved the personal touches. We were allowed access to a kitchen area to have use of the fridge if we needed to store anything. The breakfast was amazing with all home cooked food each day. We were offered a lift to and from the airport which was very handy. The cat and dog that really made our stay, they were so friendly, they were often around the pool areas when we returned late afternoon for a dip. If you want a chain hotel with everything pristine this isn't for you, but if you prefer a rustic French house surrounded by vineyards with home cooked food then it's perfect. It's a 20 minute walk along a lane through the vineyards to Carcassonne, which was a lovely walk.

This is an exceptionally well run B&B in an amazing rustic farmhouse with a maze of spacious rooms on multiple levels The breakfast is all homemade, by Delphine, with a large range of savoury and sweet items and can be taken indoors or outdoors The jewel of the property is the large outdoor swimming pool with plenty of chairs and sunbeds where you can relax and take in the views Delphine is an excellent host and on occasion will cook a superb evening meal with produce fresh from the market and garden

It is impossible to find fault with the property or owner. For me personally the walk to the City whilst easy and straight forward is slightly long but that is the fault of this guest not the B&B, distances are also stated on the bookings site - this would not stop me going back

Situated just 27mins country walk (excellent as three hours tourist parking is 9 euros) from the old city of Carcassone in a quiet countryside setting this is a little gem run by the delightful Delphine. Have no hesitation in booking the evening meals as Delphine is an excellent cook and you will not go hungry and there is a aperitif and carafe of wine included. The swimming pool (quite deep) was being refurbished when we were there but should be finished soon. We had two labradors and had the "Garden Room". There was a comfortable double and another single bed in a side room although this had to be walked through to get to the bathroom. This had direct access to the outside down metal steps (think short fire escape) to the outside and was great for the dogs. Breakfast is good and presents a varied selection of goodies. Get there early if you want the hot items! There is ample parking on site.

It was not an issue for us but La Colline has a number of narrow stairways and windy turns so any disability would be an issue.

Wonderful location nice 30 min walk to the old city. Peaceful and lovely swimming pool which is much needed in hot weather. Oozes character with so many family mementoes. Special mention to Delphine and her lovely dog Mica.

Nothing of note. Property not suitable for anyone with physical disabilities as layout around property and access to rooms rustic and quirky with many little paths and uneven steps. WiFi also patchy and only accessed from owners lounge area. This however didn't bother me.h

Best „ bed and breakfast“ we ever had! We can recommend „ la Maison sur la Colline“. It is a beautiful and spacious house with view to Carcassonne, but situated in fully bright nature. It is calm and the beds are comfortable. The interior of the house has a warm familiar atmosphere and Delphine is a great host. We spent 3 days there and appreciated the fantastic breakfasts, created and prepared by Delphine with homemade products. We didn`t miss anything and enjoyed every day. Great thanks to Delphine.

Charming B&B about a 20 min walk through the vineyards from the medieval citadel. Delicious breakfast included with a wide range of sweet and savoury options. Lovely little pool to relax by in the hot weather.. Delphine went out of her way to help including giving me a lift to and from the train station. Thanks!

No air conditioning - the room stayed relatively cool but might make it difficult to sleep in very hot summer weather.

Delphine was a delightful hostess. The breakfast was superb. The pool area and gardens are lovely. The short drive close the the Cité was a bonus.

The room description by Booking.com is inaccurate. There was not a kitchen or washing machine included.

Everything was superb. Great food both at breakfast time and at the evening meal we booked, a really lovely spacious room very clean and tastefully decorated , fabulous setting and quiet location, plus a gorgeous pool area and garden.
