HOTEL LA BASTIDE SAINT MARTIN
About the Castle Hotel
Hotel La Bastide Saint Martin, Carcassonne - A Tranquil Escape
Set amidst the serene parkland of the historical district, Hotel La Bastide Saint Martin offers a charming, family-owned retreat. This three-star establishment, a stone's throw from two UNESCO World Heritage sites, provides a comforting respite with a focus on hospitality and well-being, making it an ideal base for exploring the Cathar country and the Languedoc-Roussillon region.
Location
Positioned just five kilometers from the magnificent medieval city of Carcassonne and the historic Canal du Midi, the hotel offers a strategic yet peaceful vantage point. It is also a mere 33 kilometers from Limoux, and a swift 5-minute drive to the Basilica of Saint-Nazaire. While five kilometers might seem a short distance, the profound silence of the hotel's parkland allows guests to disconnect entirely at any hour. This proximity to major landmarks, including the Cathar Castles and La Cite Medievale, ensures that cultural exploration is always within easy reach.
Style and Character
La Bastide Saint Martin exudes a warm, familial charm. Renovated in 2019, its character lies in its understated elegance and the thoughtful touches that foster comfort and relaxation. The atmosphere is one of quietude, amplified by the opportunity to enjoy the silence of the surrounding parkland. Public spaces feature a welcoming fireplace in the lobby and a library, providing cozy spots for quiet reflection. The hotel successfully balances its heritage with modern comforts, creating an inviting ambiance for all guests.
Service and Facilities
Owned and managed by Phillippe and Francine, the hotel promises attentive, personal service from the moment of arrival. They are dedicated to looking after your every need. Guests can take advantage of the seasonal outdoor pool, which is also heated, offering year-round enjoyment. Direct access to the pool and easy access to the car park are practical conveniences. Additional amenities include complimentary wireless internet access throughout the property, a garden, a terrace, and a picnic area, facilitating leisurely stays. For those seeking a bit of quiet reading or contemplation, a library is also available.
Rooms
The hotel offers a range of comfortable accommodations. 'Comfort' and 'Twin' rooms can be booked with an inter-connecting door, ideal for families or groups. Standard amenities in each en-suite room include air-conditioning, a TV, a desk, and a wardrobe. Some units offer delightful views of the pool or garden. The 'family room' is particularly spacious, featuring two bedrooms and two bathrooms with a tile or marble floor, and air-conditioning. A 'triple room' provides a private bathroom with a bath and hairdryer. For those desiring direct access to the park and pool, a renovated room with a small terrace is available, though it does not accommodate an extra bed. Connecting rooms are also available upon request.
Food and Drink
Breakfast at La Bastide Saint Martin is an event in itself, served on the terrace by the pool. The spread includes a generous selection of cheeses, scrambled eggs, hot sausages, cold cuts, fresh fruit, pastries, pancakes, along with a variety of hot and cold drinks and dairy options. While the hotel focuses on a delightful breakfast experience, specific details on lunch or dinner dining options are not extensively provided, suggesting a focus on nearby culinary explorations or simple, satisfying morning meals.
Value for Money
As a charming, family-owned three-star hotel, La Bastide Saint Martin offers solid value, particularly for those seeking a peaceful base from which to explore the rich history and natural beauty of the Carcassonne region. The inclusion of breakfast, private pool access, and complimentary Wi-Fi, combined with the personal touch of its hosts, Phillippe and Francine, makes for a worthwhile and comfortable stay without the premium price tag of larger resorts.
Accessibility
Information regarding specific accessibility features for guests with disabilities is not detailed. However, the hotel's layout, with certain rooms offering direct park and pool access, might provide some level of convenience. Further inquiry directly with the hotel would be recommended for detailed accessibility needs.
