What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The style is an eclectic mix of charming traditional architecture and understated contemporary furnishings, all finished in a soothing neutral palette.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Montréal is a medieval hilltop village in the Malepère, twenty minutes west of the citadel of Carcassonne.
The rooms
Beds are dressed in washed linen over handmade organic mattresses, and vintage soaking tubs sit in the en-suite bathrooms.
The plunge pool
Bring a swimsuit.
An outdoor plunge pool sits in the walled courtyard garden, surrounded by fig trees and jasmine.
At the table
An honesty bar sits among vinyl records in the salon, and evening dinners are shared at the communal table.
How it began

Built around 1780, the house had gone unmodernized since 1850 and held just one bathroom when restoration began.
