Located in the middle of the Burgundy countryside, there's been a building on this site for around two centuries, something you might be able to tell from the wooden beams, flagstone flooring and thick stone walls. However, it's no longer a humble barn, but a luxurious French getaway.

In the intervening two hundred years, plenty has been added to aid in this transformation. Outside, the most notable change has been the building of a heated swimming pool in the middle of the lush grounds and even more recently — in 2021, in fact — a walled garden has been constructed holding over twenty types of herbs and soft fruits. If you time your visit just right, you might be able to pick cherries and grapes straight off the branch.

When the weather's being kind, there's everything from a boules court and swing to a barbecue on the terrace with outdoor speakers to enjoy. If, however, the clouds are ominously grey, you can keep yourselves occupied on the billiards table or home cinema setup instead.

The nearest village is only twenty-five minutes away on foot and offers all the charming bakeries, charcuteries and markets you could want. As well as that, the unspoilt Morvan Regional Nature Park that surrounds the address means the local area is perfect for long walks or cycle rides. If that sounds too tame, the Magny Cours circuit — a French Grand Prix venue — is only forty minutes' drive away.

For a group holiday with a difference, this hunting lodge in the heart of the Parc Naturel Régional du Morvan certainly fits the bill. Wander through the grand eighteenth-century halls and wood-panelled rooms furnished with leather armchairs, and picture yourself setting out on a hunt. Surrounded by verdant hills, there are endless hikes to take, through the woods and fields, with spectacular vineyards a short distance away. Take a dip in the pool and admire the panorama of Burgundy stretching out below, and enjoy atmospheric dinners outside in the grounds.

Breakfast Included

Nestled among Sancerre's rolling vineyards and scenic countryside, this 19th-century castle is truly a one-of-a-kind stay. Though your host has preserved the château's stunning character features, it's anything but old-fashioned. You can work in the wood-panelled library, sip cocktails by the fire in one of the four drawing rooms, or climb the twisting stairs to one of the sumptuous bedrooms for some much-needed R&R. Outside, you'll have three hectares of gardens to explore, offering everything from a wood-fired hot tub, sauna, and fitness room to a heated swimming pool – not to mention many picturesque trails leading through the woodlands. With a live-in concierge on hand to arrange wine tastings and other extras, an unforgettable holiday awaits.

Indulge in the height of luxury at this chateau, consisting of five historical buildings. Fortified by medieval walls, the buildings centre around a gorgeous courtyard. Brimming with amenities indoors and out, you'll have your pick of the private pool, landscaped gardens, and alfresco dining with breathtaking views of Yonne Valley. Bikes can also be provided for exploring the surrounding area, including the charming town of Mailly-le-Château with its beautiful scenery and the winding Yonne River. Indoors, you'll find a games room and a cinema room in the main house. To further elevate your stay, your host can arrange additional services from a gourmet dining experience to extra housekeeping.

Located in the heart of Côte d’Or, this beautiful home was built in the 1900s and restored to make a lovely holiday getaway. Kids will love the vast garden, where you'll find outdoor seating for enjoying an alfresco meal or an aperitif. The kitchen is fully equipped for large meals and there's plenty of space for groups. Nearby vineyards can be visited by bike or on foot, but we recommend having a car here for day trips – Dijon and the Parc Naturel Regional du Morvan are easily accessible by car.

This luxurious castle in Burgundy accommodates up to 20 guests, one child and three babies. The property boasts ten bedrooms and ten bathrooms, each with its own toilet. It offers complete privacy, surrounded by a beautiful park with forest and fish pond (10 ha) with walking and cycling paths. The property also features a heated pool, sauna, hammam and gym. The castle has several salons, a lounge with a professional poker table, a pool table and chess table.

This renovated barn in the Burgundy countryside is a twenty-minute drive from the charming town of Beaune. The hosts, Laura and Peter, have kitted the place out with all the creature comforts you’ll need for an unforgettable break. There’s a sauna available in the autumn and winter, a garden for refreshments alfresco and a bar for sampling the region’s best wines. At capacity, two guests will sleep on a sofa bed, which may not be ideal if you’re planning an extended stay.

Burgundy Haven

Early / Late Check-Out Available

Balcony

Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Burgundy region from this fabulous country house surrounded by serene landscapes and open countryside. From the moment you arrive, prepare to be awe-struck by the home's stunning 16th-century facade featuring blue window shutters and stone infrastructure. 

The inside is just as beautiful as exposed wooden beams, and original stone floors pave the way to a cosy stay. But, while the space undoubtedly preserves its original charm, modern furnishings offer style and practicality. We particularly love the pink and yellow colour scheme of the kitchen, with bold checkerboard flooring and vibrant walls – this room, in particular, brags bags of charm. 

Open the French windows onto the gorgeous grassy garden, where you'll also find a sunny terrace - perfect for lazy afternoons with a glass of local wine in hand. Wander around the wooded grounds, reconnecting with nature as you go. The local neighbourhood is an equally dreamy setting where you'll find only three local people living there all year round. 

It doesn't get much more rural than that. Nearby, you'll find the towns of Sennecey le Grand, 5 kilometres to the north, and Tournus, 7 kilometres to the south. In each of these local towns, there are shops and restaurants to pick all you need. Don't miss the rolling local vineyards where the winegrowers welcome you to tour the vines and sample the wines. 


Un Petit Verre 

DVD Player

Set in over a hectare of forest, this beautiful Paley home makes getting back in touch with nature a pretty stately affair. Once you’re through the wrought-iron gates, drive up to the home and immerse yourself in the tranquillity from the moment you set foot on the grounds. Immediately surrounded by an exquisite garden, you’ll soon find yourself itching to explore the woodland beyond by taking one of the beautiful walks through the forest. 

Inside, manor-house elegance combined with countryside chic results in a cosy space that’s just palatial enough for you to daydream about living out your own Jane Austen novel, but without it feeling like a space where you can’t just as easily lounge around in an oversized jumper all day. 

Fontainebleau is around thirty minutes away and the chateau will make for a beautiful backdrop to a group photo when you’re there. Stop off for lunch before stocking up on supplies and returning home. 

Dine together under the chandelier in the dining room, play games spread out on the floor of the living room, walk the gardens together, and plan picnics in the woods. Carry cups of coffee outside after dark to enjoy as you make yourself comfortable on the lawn and gaze up at the stars. 

Symphony of Trees

Parking On Street

This charming cottage stands at the heart of a famous wine village in Burgundy, Puligny-Montrachet. It’s in a marvellous location for exploring the vineyards of Burgundy, and for soaking up the atmosphere of quaint French villages. The wine capital of Burgundy, Beaune, is just a fifteen-minute drive away. 

The traditional house stands across from the village square – you can watch the comings and goings of the locals from your terrace. Each morning, you need only take a few steps to buy fresh bread and pastries from the boulangerie, which you can devour on the terrace – we love dining alfresco on holiday. In the evening, you might cook on the barbecue, or for special occasions make a reservation at the Michelin-starred restaurant just down the road. 

The cottage blends historic charm with stylish decor. You can look forward to seeing the original parquet flooring, exposed stone walls and wooden beams, alongside some modern touches that make your stay all the more comfortable. After a day spent cycling around nearby vineyards, it feels glorious to sink into the master suite’s deep bathtub – pour yourself a glass of wine to take your relaxation to the next level. 

Burgundy & Stone

Wine Cooler

If you passed this nondescript townhouse on one of Baune's historic side streets, you wouldn't guess there's a hidden stone-walled wine cellar on its lower level. But that's exactly what you can expect from this unique home in the Burgundy wine region, formerly featured in The Times.

Built in the 17th century, the spacious house retains charming original details – from the exposed wooden beams to the curved sash windows. But your host has updated it with striking sculptures and graphic wall art, as well as comfortable furniture so you can kick back and relax after a day of exploring. 

You can't leave this home without arranging a tasting in the romantic candle-lit cellar, where an expert will introduce you to the area's finest wines. We're labelling this spot as the dream honeymoon location. Once you've had a taste of the flavourful wine, you'll likely want to see where it comes from. Get out into the countryside and enjoy a tour of nearby vineyards, arranged by your host to make your stay extra special.

Maison du Vin

Tennis Court

Desk / Workplace

This enormous chateau in the Burgundy countryside has quite a fascinating backstory. It was built in 1900 and gifted to a French actress by her lover before it was sold to the Red Cross and used as a war hospital. Today, it's the spot for a rather sumptuous getaway.

The interior is full of grand features, from the long dining table in the orangery and high-ceilinged living room to the library and impressive hallway. You might also notice some more recent additions, such as the home cinema set-up and spa-worthy bathrooms.

Outside, too, has some rather inviting features, chief among them the heated swimming pool surrounded by loungers. When you're finished taking a dip, there's plenty more to discover in the four acres of grounds, including a fishing pond and a shared tennis and basketball court.

However you choose to fill your days, the chateau's rural location will ensure you can do it in the utmost tranquillity. There are lots of walking routes that start nearby and Morvan National Park lies under half an hour's drive away. The town of Epinac only takes ten minutes in the car to reach and offers a restaurant, bakery, grocery and butchers.

The Gilded Age

This is a luxurious 19th-century castle located in the heart of Burgundy, surrounded by vineyards and wineries. The property boasts a heated swimming pool, wellness and sports facilities, a trampoline, and a swing. The private property covers about 4,000 m2 and includes a large terrace with a beautiful jeu-de-boule court, a table tennis table, and a summer kitchen equipped with a fridge, sink, hob and a selection of summer dishes. There are nine bedrooms in total, each with an adjacent luxury bathroom. The salon is beautifully decorated with original murals and offers a spacious sitting area by the fireplace with a large flat-screen TV. The dining room has a long table with comfortable armchairs and high French doors that allow sunlight to flow into the interior. There is also an elongated kitchen that offers guests complete cooking and eating utensils. Finally, the castle has a real sports hall with professional fitness equipment, a billiard room, sauna, hammam, and more.

The Green Mansions

This home is perfectly situated to experience the fruits and tranquility of the rural French countryside with ease. Also, if so desired, you can pop to Paris on the train - the capital is only one hour away. The house has a simple yet historic charm, with big stone rooms and open fireplaces that let the medieval features shine while ensuring comfort and cleanliness. You're in true wine country with plenty of vineyards to visit in the area, as well as hiking trails, horse riding and bike rides to discover. The local village, Noyers-sur-Serein, is one of Les Plus Beaux Villages of France, and a perk of staying in the chateau is that you get to use the village tennis courts for free.

Castle Rock

Espresso Machine

If you’re a self-proclaimed foodie and wine-lover, you’ve come to the right place. Nestled in a renowned wine-village, near famous vineyards, farmer’s markets and Michelin-starred restaurants, Bon Appetit is a gastronome’s paradise. The sense of space in this home’s high-ceilinged rooms and glorious grounds is refreshing. Don your beret, play a game on the Boules pitch, and ride the bikes to the boulangerie. Bon Appetit is the ultimate authentic French experience.

Garden Games

Rooftop Terrace

Set in 32 acres of scenic landscaped gardens and parkland, you'll find this magnificent castle nestled in the picturesque Loire and Berry regions (around two and a half hours away from Paris). Built in 1835 on the site where there used to be a Benedictine monastery and an original orchard, the property is packed with history and old-world French charm. 

From the jam-packed home library to the rustic French kitchen setting and the opulent bedroom suites dressed in modern furnishings that nod to the chateau's original personality – enjoy a taste of traditional France when staying here. And not just in the aesthetic sense, as the kitchen space offers the perfect set-up to rustle up some local French culinary delights for yourself, or why not hire a private chef to do so for you? 

Amid the vast gardens, you'll find a heated swimming pool and enormous open space for garden games such as boules, lounging in the sun and enjoying family picnics on the lawns. And with bicycles provided by the host, you'll be able to explore the grounds and beyond on two wheels too. 

In fact, why not cycle down to the local village of Nérondes? Only one kilometre away, here you'll find the bakery to pick up fresh bread and pastries in the morning and the supermarket for anything else – you'll have convenience at your fingertips despite the chateau's countryside location. Not to mention the many farmer's markets and neighbouring towns and villages – easily reachable by car. Rich in culture and majestic scenery, you'll be just a thirty-minute drive from the cathedral city of Bourges and even closer to the wine-growing region of Sancerre with its beautiful hilltop village, which is also well worth a visit. 



Monastery Magic 

This home has everything you could ask for from a classic French chateau - grand dining room, library, wood panelled palatial living room - with an artistic twist. Murals painted on the walls add a fun and eclectic edge - we especially loved the theatrical curtains framing the bath and the ballroom dancing frieze. The grounds are equally as lavish, with 15 acres of private deer field parkland, a swimming pool and cottages dotted around the grounds. Nearby Beaune isn't short of activities to choose from, with helicopter rides, golf and hot air ballooning, to name but a few, plus a rich cultural and historical heritage to discover and enjoy.

Le Parc aux Cerfs

Choose between a medieval-style "cave" suite, a room in a turret, or a sun-dappled boudoir overlooking the courtyard during your stay here. This château in the heart of Burgundy's rolling countryside is the ideal spot for a group getaway. The fully kitted-out kitchen and long dining tables are made for massive group meals. Perched on a hilltop, you can enjoy panoramic views of the vineyards and field below from the poolside, or the terrace. A glass of local red is the perfect pairing.

Knight in Shining Armour

Surrounded by greenery for as far as the eye can see, this traditional hideaway in Limousin offers space and peaceful seclusion like no other. If ever there was a lesson in effortless French country living, this is it. From the cobalt blue shutters that adorn the home’s exterior to the warm, rustic interiors, there are individual touches adding unique style everywhere. We particularly love the textiles and character found in the bedrooms – the antique beds are just perfect. But the true beauty of this property is only really apparent when you pad across the cool floors and out on the south-facing terrace. The charming pool and lawn area are built for relaxation. Enjoy long lunches under the grapevine on the veranda, before taking a refreshing dip. Should you ever be persuaded, you’ll find plenty of options for a spot of day-tripping just a short car journey away. There are lakes aplenty nearby and quintessential French towns galore.
