es Hauts de Villerambert: A Jewel of Beauty, Between Tradition and Modernity, at the Heart of Minervois
Located on the second floor of a 16th-century Mediterranean castle, Les Hauts de Villerambert is much more than just a duplex apartment. It is a journey through time, an immersion in history and modernity, and a charm of an era that is both bygone and contemporary, marked by the imprint of generations attached to this unique terroir.
The Château de Villerambert: A Historical Gem in the Heart of Minervois
An invitation to discovery, nestled in the hills of the Aude, the Château de Villerambert stands proudly, a witness to a rich history and an exceptional terroir.
The castle, built in the 16th century, has elegantly withstood the test of time. It stands as a testament to a history of passion and tradition. Since 1858, the JULIEN family has perpetuated this heritage, preserving the soul of the place.
LES HAUTS DE VILLERAMBERT, a fully renovated apartment with four bedrooms arranged around a large living room and a breathtaking view: tranquility and light guaranteed...
In this gîte – located on the second floor of the Château with independent access via the Grand Staircase – life revolves around a large south-facing living room of 60 m² with a 180° view of the Pyrenees.
The South-West Tower houses a round kitchen, fully equipped with a central island and a marble worktop from Villerambert.
The North-West Tower contains the round "Room with a View," offering glimpses of the Black Mountain. It features a 160 cm bed and a large private bathroom with a shower and bathtub.
The Yellow Room – with its mystery – faces the Pyrenees to the south. It offers a choice between a 160 cm bed or two 80 cm beds, along with a private bathroom in marble and travertine.
To the west, the Room of Wonders always frames its large windows on the Minervois vineyards. It has a 160 cm bed and a beautiful private bathroom.
In the mezzanine, under the roof equipped with a VELUX window, the Thousand and One Nights Room touches the stars of the Black Mountain... It has a 160 cm bed and a private bathroom.

A mandatory "intermediate cleaning" fee is charged at the time of booking and corresponds to the disinfection and preparation of the house between two tenants.
However, the premises should not be left dirty upon the tenants’ departure. We ask our tenants to leave the apartment in the same condition they found it upon arrival (clean kitchen and bathroom, emptied refrigerator and cupboards, no visible dirt, trash removed, etc.).

The tenant will be informed immediately by message via the platforms, by SMS, or by email, with photos and/or videos. We also offer our tenants who do not want to think about cleaning before their departure a "full cleaning" package that will be charged at €30/hour.

About the area
Carcassonne, a medieval citadel nestled in the heart of the Languedoc region of France, is a destination that captivates visitors with its fairy-tale charm and historical significance. The city is renowned for its iconic double-walled fortifications and the imposing Château Comtal, which stands as a testament to Carcassonne's strategic importance during the Middle Ages.
The Cité de Carcassonne, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the centerpiece of the city's allure. Its cobbled streets, Gothic cathedral, and picturesque watchtowers transport travelers back in time. Visitors can walk along the ramparts for panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, including the rolling vineyards that produce some of the region's finest wines.
Beyond the walls of the old city, the Bastide Saint-Louis, or the lower town, offers a more modern yet equally charming experience. Here, one can explore the bustling Place Carnot, the heart of Carcassonne's social life, with its vibrant market and cozy cafes. The Canal du Midi, another UNESCO World Heritage Site, runs through the town, offering leisurely boat tours and picturesque walking and cycling paths along its banks.
Carcassonne's rich history is also celebrated through its many festivals and events, such as the famous Carcassonne Festival, which features music, theater, and dance performances throughout the summer. The city's culinary scene is equally impressive, with traditional Languedoc cuisine that emphasizes fresh, local ingredients and a touch of Mediterranean flair.
For those interested in the supernatural, the legend of Dame Carcas, who is said to have outwitted Charlemagne's army, adds a layer of myth to the city's storied past. Meanwhile, the nearby Cathar castles offer further historical exploration, set against the dramatic backdrop of the Pyrenees mountains.
Carcassonne's blend of historical grandeur, cultural vibrancy, and natural beauty makes it a destination that appeals to history enthusiasts, romantics, and adventurers alike. Whether you're seeking to immerse yourself in the past, enjoy the relaxed pace of southern French life, or simply marvel at one of Europe's most impressive medieval fortresses, Carcassonne promises an experience that is both enchanting and unforgettable.
