Montolieu Hotels | Places to Stay in Montolieu

Maison Rives, dating back to before the French Revolution, has a history as fascinating as Montolieu itself. The furnishings in all the rooms compliment perfectly the natural light pouring through the windows. Whether your view is over the bridge and the Alzeau Gorge or down a village street, all our rooms are spacious, light and airy and have en-suite facilities. Enjoy breakfast downstairs in the salon, where we can help you plan your day or find your way if you wish. We also propose diner on Monday to Friday, and brunch on Sunday (only for advanced bookings).

Chateau de Villeneuve is hidden at the foot of the Black Mountain. In a rural environment of exception, in Cathar country, at the edge of its vineyards and with its gastronomy, we would be delighted to welcome you and make you enjoy charms of the castle for a weekend, a week or a night.

Maison de Mallast is a large historic house, offering chambres d'hôtes (B&B), as well as a 2-bedroom apartment, Gîte de Mallast in a charming medieval village near Carcassonne. We offer a warm welcome, comfortable rooms and a beautiful garden in the centre of Montolieu, the 'village of books', with all its amenities within just a few steps. Beneath our 12th century house and Gîte de Mallast lie the remains of Chateau de Mallast, the fortress which protected the village and its inhabitants from invasion from the 5th to 12th centuries! We serve breakfast either on our garden view terrace or in the dining room where once a French president dined! Steps lined with ancient wisteria lead down to the tranquil garden, where there are lovely sunny and shady places to sit and relax! Our seasonal Restaurant de Mallast offers opportunities to sample wonderful regional produce and wines indoors in winter and either on the terrasse or in the large garden in summer.

We are located in the South of France, close to Carcassonne, in a small, Medieval village called Montolieu, which also happens to be a famous booktown with numerous bookstores and art galleries. We transformed a former 19th century village café into a cosy, elegant B&B with restaurant and tearoom. The entire building was renovated inside and out in 2005 so that it has both the charm of the past and the comfort of the present.
