Property Description

Mountain View is situated in the small village of Marseillette, just 15 minutes from Carcassonne and 60 minutes from Beziers. Set on the banks of the Canal Du Midi and surrounded by vineyards and the Alaric Mountains, its central location is perfect for exploring this beautiful region of Languedoc.

The large kitchen is fully equipped with dishwasher and washing machine, and the open plan lounge and dining area both seat 6 comfortably. Paid satellite TV and wi-fi internet access are available.

3 sets of patio doors open out onto a fabulous private south facing terrace, which offers spectacular panoramic views over the vineyards and Alaric Mountains; perfect for sunbathing, relaxing and summertime dining! On the 2nd level there is a low ceiling mezzanine with a sofa bed, ideal as a second lounge or games room.

We try to be as flexible as possible with changeover days. We offer mid-week changeovers whenever possible to allow you to take advantage of cheaper flight and ferry prices in high season.
We also offer mid-week short breaks and long weekend breaks even in high season. Please contact the owner for availability. Long term rentals can also be negotiated.

In the nearby town of Trebes, an 8 minutes drive away, you will find all amenities including 3 supermarkets, chemist, doctors, banks, tourist information office and a nice choice of bars and restaurants. A smaller supermarket can be found in the nearby town of Capendu, a 5 minute drive.

A welcome book and activities guide are in the house offering more detailed information and recommendations on where to eat and drink in the area.

The Canal Du Midi runs through the village just a few minutes walk from the house. The beautiful tree lined route is perfect for an evening stroll or cycle ride. The village lock can be quite entertaining during the summer months as the hotel barges and hire boat try to negociate the tricky lock gates!

The etang behind the Canal is a great cycle route with quiet roads lined with sunflower fields, apple orchards and vineyards. Bike hire can be arranged locally.

The village community centre has a children's play area with climbing frames, see-saws and also a new boules pitch.

The river Aude runs through the lower part of the village and good fishing is possible here and around the area with a permit.
