It is situated within rural French countryside surroundings, in the small, picturesque village of Nolay (2000 persons).
The countryside near Nolay offers the spectacular cliffs of Le Boute du Monde (World's End), Nolay is a small medieval town nestled in a valley where the granite outcroppings give way to limestone hillsides.... a transition from farming to woods to the ever present vineyards that Burgundy is known for. The central plaza, or heart of the village includes a XIV century market hall and beautiful church from the 15th century which has figures which strike the bell tower every hour.
The perfect retreat for lovers of superb French wine and cuisine...Imagine savoring the flavors or Burgundy. If you are looking for a more unusual holiday, then this is the choice for you. Burgundy is an area rich in history, outstanding beauty, fabulous cuisine and boasts the best wines to be found in France.

Beautifully Restored, 16th Century Medieval Maison

Why the Owner Chose Nolay
This location seemed like the perfect blend for me, and perspective guests, to enjoy the tranquility of the countryside while still having the amenities of modern day life and the quintessential small specialty shops that France is often known for (bakeries, butchers, flower shops, etc). Here you can get away from the hustle and bustle while still being close to all the amenities of larger cities.
