Chosen as a featured home on the Fine Living Channel television series "Around the World in 80 Homes", Our property, La Treille, is a character village townhouse built in the 18th and 19th centuries. It retains original features such as an interior stone wall and exposed beams on the ground floor, the master bedroom and in the renovated grenier (attic).
The house is tastefully furnished with a combination of period antiques and new furniture, with great attention to providing comfortable surroundings for our guests. The master bedroom is furnished with a queen-size bed and period antiques; the second bedroom has an antique armoire and double-size bed; and the third bedroom has two single beds and antique dresser. The interior of the house is light and airy throughout.
Ancy-le-Franc is listed as one of the most beautiful villages in Burgundy. A stay here enables you to experience rural village life to its fullest. The town has two boulangeries, two butchers, two banks, a newsstand, a corner market, pharmacy, physician's office, hotel with restaurant, and a church. The magnificent Renaissance Chateau Ancy-le-Franc is just around the corner from our front door. The Canal de Bourgogne also borders the village.
If you enjoy wine, Ancy-le-Franc is the ideal base to explore the famed vineyards of Burgundy, including Chablis to the north, and the Cote d'Or to the south. If you like castles, the chateaux of Burgundy are every bit as enchanting as their better-known counterparts in the Loire.
Within an easy drive are the chateaux of Tanlay, Bussy-Rabutin, Epoisses, Chateauneuf, Bourbilly, Bazoches and Commarin. Also nearby is the Abbey de Fontenay near Montbard, the Basilique Ste. Madeleine in the charming town of Veselay, and the medieval villages of Noyers and Flavigny (where the movie Chocolat was filmed).
Good food is also a hallmark of the region. Choose one of the many excellent, cozy restaurants of the area, or go for the grander dining experience at a Michelin-rated establishment. Either way, you will get meals to remember.

This home is lovely and comfortable within walking distance of all the village shops. It is situated within driving distance of the most beautiful sites in the world. I went there to gather photographic materials to come back to my studio and turn the inspiration into paintings. I found that my finished work reflected more light and joy than ever before. I hope to have the opportunity to go back someday since there is so much more to see and do.

My husband, myself and our two teenage daughters enjoyed a wonderful family Christmas in this delightful home. We have stayed in many VRBO properties over the last 15 years and this was by far the best! Right from the moment you enter the warm, inviting foyer, you can tell that Tom and Sharon have put their heart and soul into creating a welcoming atmosphere. Truly an authentic french country home! The furnishings were beautiful, the beds unbelievable cosy, the kitchen well equipt and we loved coming home every night to put our feet up, relax and watch one of the hundred DVD's. We enjoyed shopping at the local Farmers Market held right around the corner from the house on Thursday mornings. The vendors were helpful and very polite,and the selection remarkably big, we purchased enough fresh vegetables, fruits and cheeses to last the week. The little market across the road from the house and the patisserie around the corner provided us with everything else we needed...even a small christmas tree! Sharon and Tom went out of their way to find a Michelin rated restaurant not too far from the house for our Christmas celebrations. They even made the reservation for us! We loved visiting the surrounding villages as well as the larger towns like Dijon. The house was well located enabling us to explore the whole region. All in all, we simply can't recommend this property highly enough, so much so that we intend on booking a summer vacation here some time in the near future. Thank you Sharon and Tom for the effort you put into ensuring your guests have literally everything they could possibly need to relax and enjoy their vacation in a very comfortable "home".

The property is in a beautiful old village and the house is very old, yet once you walk in the door you have all the amenities of a modern French home. The decor is lovely and the beds are incredibly comfortable. There are lovely villages, vineyards, and chateaus nearby. The owners have helpful information on day trips and restaurants available in the house. I look forward to my next trip here!
