We just spent 3 blissful days at this gite and are already wondering how soon we can go back. As residents of France, we often tour and rent properties all over the country but this wonderful address is certainly one of the best we have had the pleasure to stay at - all of the comforts of a boutique hotel with the charm and calm of a quiet private residence. Excellent quality sheets, towels and beds. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need - including a dishwasher A whole range of dishes and pots and pans. The bathroom is large, modern, sparkling clean and has both a washer and a dryer. We very much appreciated the brioche and jams left for our breakfast. The gardens are beautiful and well-tended while the private backyard is great for a bbq, relaxing and enjoying local wines. Beaune is a short drive away, where you can visit cultural sites and eat at gourmet restaurants. We had a warm welcome and relaxed the whole weekend. Thank you to Florence and Francois - we hope to see you again soon. Very best, Sarah, Adel, Julie and Robyn (from Lyon, France & Toronto, Canada)

spent enjoyable fortnight at Chandon De Brailles gite on grounds of the Maison de Maitre. Well appointed, clean and comfortable. Hosts were helpful and were able to identify great sites and restaurants in less obvious areas nearby.Easy access to well regarded and famous vineyards.First rate restaurants in walking distance and easy access to historic sites.Beaune is close by with historic buildings and good food. Car is advisable. Best to approach the french manufacturers who do good deals for 17 days plus rental. This is the heart of Burgundy and will suit wine lovers and those who have an interest in good dining and historic sites.Try the historic sites routes to the west of Beaune, towards Autun.These castles are off the track and are readily accessible. Off- street parking available but smaller car like C4 Citroen advised. This is a recommended gite.

Owner response:Thank you Ian for your review. We hope to see you again with friends. Best. Florence

My family and I had the most magical, enjoyable stay at Domaine Chandon De Briailles! The gardens were spectacular and the home was beautifully decorated. Our kids especially enjoyed the private patio for hosting many picnics with pate, wine and cheese. It was the perfect way to end a day of site seeing and bike touring. We want to invite our friends to come with us next time & treat them to the wonderful treasure we found at Domaine Chandon De Briailles!

Owner response:Thank you Kim for that nice review. We wait for you and your friends. Best. Florence
