Saône-et-Loire Hotel Alternatives

Maison du Vin

• 10 guests

• 3 bedrooms

Beaune, Côte-d'Or

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.

Morvan Hunting

• 12 guests

• 7 bedrooms

Saint-Prix, Saône-et-Loire

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.

Sauvignon Vines

• 47 guests

• 24 bedrooms

Thauvenay, Cher

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.
