Le Chai De Marguerite Hotel Peyriac-Minervois

Review by hotel critic

Le Chai de Marguerite is a hidden gem in a quaint village, set in a breathtaking 19th-century mansion with a splendid garden and a refreshing swimming pool. We were warmly welcomed with a delightful regional wine as we explored the elegant decor filled with objects and chandeliers from bygone eras. The attentive hosts, Philippe and Pascal, made our stay truly exceptional, offering tours and ticket assistance, ensuring we experienced the best of Carcassonne. Our room, overlooking the charming village square, was a perfect blend of comfort and style, complete with modern amenities including a spacious bathroom with a luxurious walk-in shower. The breakfast served in the enchanting garden was a true delight, featuring homemade delicacies that highlighted the essence of the region. As a history teacher with a passion for the Belle Époque era, I appreciated the attention to detail in the decor, with paintings, mirrors, and lights carefully marked with signs depicting their historical significance. The shared lounge and gift shop added a touch of luxury, allowing us to relax and bring home unique souvenirs. Le Chai de Marguerite offers a captivating blend of history, hospitality, and relaxation, making it the perfect destination for travelers seeking a genuine French experience. Whether enjoying drinks at the bar, exploring the rural surroundings through cycling and hiking, or simply unwinding by the outdoor pool, this charming guesthouse truly reflects the charm and elegance of the French countryside.
