42 Rue Victor Hugo, France, Overview

42 RUE VICTOR HUGO - REVIEW

When was the last time you felt totally spoilt? Exactly. So how appealing is the idea of being met from a flight, driven to an old French townhouse, shown into a stunning suite and relaxing while your hosts serve apéritifs? Then bring canapés. Then serve you dinner, clean up, and leave. Yes, you might get that service in a 5* hotel, but here the entire place is yours and you get the front door key. It’s like borrowing a very stylish flat, and not having to lift a finger while you're there.

This is what Peter and Debrah Woodcock offer at 42 rue Victor Hugo. Their 2 one-bedroom apartments are beautiful and private, with all the luxury details you’d want - and then some: a pre-loaded iPod, a fridge full of wine, fresh flowers, 400tc bedlinen. It's an ultra-stylish place to unwind, and a great base to explore historic Carcassonne, with its fairytale walled city of drawbridges, towers and cobbled streets. Come with your partner and spend a romantic long weekend enjoying each other’s company and being thoroughly spoilt.

LOWS

Being in the middle of town, there's some traffic noise
You need to book well in advance as there are only 2 apartments
La Cité can be heaving in summer; but here in the Bastide it's much quieter - and there's a free music festival in July
If you are driving, there's no parking on site, although it is available nearby
There's a minimum stay of 3 nights, so if you plan a weekend break, make it a long one
The studio has steep steps and limited headroom on the mezzanine
