La Guiraude is a superbly renovated Lauragaise Farmhouse situated between the historic cities of Toulouse and Carcassonne in the sunny south of France. Set in a quiet hillside location with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, near to local amenities and with 9 en suite bedrooms, it’s the perfect place for a get together of family or friends.
The property has two wings, La Grande Maison and La Toscane with external access front and rear between the two. In total the two properties can sleep up to 20 people in 9 en suite bedrooms (one of which sleeps 4). The house incorporates a fully equipped semi-professional kitchen, a large dining room and terrace seating 20, two comfortable lounges, a games room and a music room.
If you can drag yourself away from the delights of the house, there are lots of activities and places to visit nearby. Historic Carcassonne and Toulouse are both wonderful places to start. You can visit Cathar castles, Bastide towns, local markets and hilltop villages. For the artists, join a tutored painting week, and for the culture buffs, spend a day in the city of Albi with its cathedral and Toulouse-Lautrec Museum. You can walk and cycle the Canal du Midi, go sailing and boating on nearby lakes, rivers and canals, or take a day trip to the Pyrenees, or the Mediterranean coast.
