  My wife and I had the good fortune of finding out about this home called Charmelieu in Meursault and recently spent a very relaxing and adventurous week there. Adventurous because we rented a vehicle in Paris, drove to Meursault and several other locations, ate, shopped, toured and “conversed” while knowing very little French. Relaxing because Meursault is a small town begging to be explored on foot, inhabited by friendly people and because Charmelieu always welcomes you “home” every evening. The one thing we noticed was how quickly we felt Charmelieu was our place. It’s location in Meursault makes it easy to explore other Burgundy towns like Beaune. And after staying in Paris two nights we realize what a bargain this home is in terms of both cost and accommodation. We would have absolutely no reservations about recommending this home to anyone wishing to experience and explore France's Burgundy region.

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.

  Amazing! The warmest home you will ever step foot in, beautiful wood floors, beamed ceilings, warm paint colors, comfortable and stylish furniture, don't see how this can get any better. The home was spotless, we were greeted at the house by a woman who was wonderful and available any time that we might need her, plenty of pamphlets in the home for recommended activities. We did a bike trip from Beaune, a very short drive, that was spectacular along with a wine tasting on the bike trip, ate two meals in town, both of which were great, Hotel Les Arts and Le Chevreuil. Went to the market in Meursault on Friday which was fun, had lunch on a rainy day in Chagny at Lameloise, truly amazing, some of the best cuisine we have ever had. We toured the Hospices de Beaune and being in the medical field found it interesting and beautiful. A hike in the vineyards in Meursault are a must, roads that go on forever with views of Meursault that are memorable. If you are lucky, you will see work going on in the vineyard and it gives you an appreciation for the quality of the wine. I would go back in a heartbeat and wish we would have had more than our 3 days.

  My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Charmelieu with another couple! There would have been plenty of room even if each couple had brought our two children each (2 extra twin beds in each master bedroom). The house had plenty of old world charm, mixed with modern conveniences for cooking and laundry. The town was lovely to wander around, stopping to taste wine, and visit bakeries, cafes, shops and churches. We loved scenic treks through vineyards in the morning and through the village in the afternoon and evening. The home was near a larger city, Beaune, where we also visited to dine and sight-see. I would highly recommend taking advantage of the additional service of having dinner prepared for you one night, for a reasonable additional fee. Everything was incredibly delicious, and there was enough for leftovers! We look forward to many return visits to Charmelieu!

  We loved the villa; the location was excellent; the accommodations were wonderful. It was a great location for walking into the village for food and beverages. We visited several towns within a short drive. It was harvest time for the grapes and the weather was warm and sunny. We look forward to returning to Charmelieu again in the fall. We highly recommend this villa. We visited as a ladies group and look forward to taking our husbands next time.

  A perfect week in the Cote d'Or with this charming house as home base! The character of an ancient town home with every modern amenity. Very roomy and comfortable. The personal tour of the adjacent winery and cellars by co-owner Michel Roucher-Sarrazin was priceless. The highlight of our three weeks in France! Not to be missed!

  Our week in June of 2005 was perfect. The location is ideal. The house is within easy walking distance of many small,family-owned wineries,as well as within minutes of the main square in Meursault. The kitchen is well-equipped, the beds and linens first-class, and the small courtyard perfect for outdoor dining.The owners of this meticulously renovated home could not be more accommodating and informative. This place is perfect for exploring the wines of Burgundy.

  Notre Maison a Meursault was so easy to live in, I have been homesick for the place ever since. Everything is designed for comfort: the large, inviting kitchen, the spacious bedrooms and baths, the cozy living room. The shops and historic sights of Meursault are just a short walk through the quaint village streets. I can't wait to return!
