This place was a challenge to find by using the one way streets and needing to try again and again to get it right. When we arrived, it took a while to find someone to let us inside. What we appreciated were the friendly, helpful staff members. The room we were given was strange and had a few issues. The very large shower seemed poorly designed and caused water to get all over the floor and even into the bedroom area. The sink faucet was barely over the basin and led to more water getting on the floor. Luckily we found one of the few parking spaces and left our car there until departure. It's somewhat a walk to get to the main city area although a pleasant walk. The included breakfast was delightful. If you have the patience to find this property and you coordinate a time to be allowed inside to check in, you may find your stay...

It’s always a good sign when the patrons are locals and when we dined it was all locals eating with us. We went for the tapas menu, and had the beef with wasabi, the lamb, the shrimp rillettes, the tapinade and the mozzarella with tomato salad. The portion sizes were perfect and the flavours were amazing. For dessert we had the home made chocolate cake which was rather like a brownie. Again it was perfect - not too sweet and not too heavy. If you are in Carcassonne I really recommend you give...
