  : 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.

  : The house itself is very charming and the pool area is lovely
  : The attitude if Dauphine, the owner, was not very nice at times. There is no fridge in the room, so when you stay at the pool you have no food. If you want to have something for lunch you have to get a taxi (20 euro) or walk 2 km in the sun to the nearest cafe. You can buy drinks but you have to ask the owner for them and she always seemed so annoyed.

  : 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 isnt an easy job..but Delphine does it very well. Thank you for a lovely time. We hope to come back one day.

  : Lovely pool, and excellent location for Carcasson, good breakfast and friendly staff.
  : Location was a little tricky to find at first. The WIFI was not sufficient for our needs as we had to address a monetary issue. Our room was not one of the best on the site yet we booked a long way in advance.

  : A previous reviewer commented that if you are looking for a modern city hotel this is not for you, however if you seek French farmhouse style accommodation within a short distance of Carcassonne and all its history- then this is for you, as it was for us. Excellent and generous breakfast with a lot of homemade produce. Evening meal available, with notice, at 30. Very agreeable and personable hostess. Wi-Fi is as advertised only available in lounge area, we found connection quite slow and weak, whilst not a problem for us, unusual in this day and age. Need good Sat nav to find, (as ours fortunately did) as red direction signs stop before property - 2 more needed. The garden room was lovely and cool in hot weather.
