Beaune is the wine capital of Burgundy. Rue Maizieres is in one of the oldest parts of the town within the old walls. It is a typically narrow, medieval street following the line of the original Roman town walls. This is a quiet corner of Beaune yet only 3 minutes' stroll from the market place, the renowned Hotel Dieu, shops, cafés and restaurants. The apartment is reached by the original, 800 year old, spiral, stone staircase.
On 3 levels the apartment feels more like a house. The sensitive renovation combines original structural elements (massive oak beams, stone corbels and walls) with harmonising finishes and carefully incorporated modern comforts. Painstaking attention has been given to the use of space, lighting and equipment. The result is a beautiful, spacious and airy living space. There are views of surrounding roof scapes and the famous Cotes de Beaune vineyards.
The accommodation comprises:
First Level:
* Large living space divided into sitting and dining rooms
* Fully fitted kitchen
* Toilet and lobby with hand basin
* Oak staircase
Second Level:
* Spacious landing
* 2 double bedrooms with king-size beds and generous wardrobe space
* Fully fitted bathroom with large bath, shower and toilet
Third Level:
* Large sitting/TV room with supplementary bed-settee
The apartment has central heating, ventilation and vacuum systems and double glazing. There is a basement for storing bicycles, strollers etc. and we provide a parking permit for nearby on-street and covered off-street parking. There is sidewalk parking space outside the apartment for loading and unloading.

We have done the "self-catering thing" many times before, but must say this apartment far exceeds any expectations or requirements we had. Beautiful, stylish, generous in all facets. Perfect location too. K&J Sydney, Australia
Thank you so very much for letting us stay in your wonderful apartment. Not only is it superbly located in Beaune, it is one of the most well appointed apartments that we have stayed in during our travels. You have thought of everything to make a stay most comfortable. As wine lovers we appreciate the decent sized wine glasses, and the thing that appealed to us most, the warmth and homely feel of the apartment. T&S Australia
It doesn't get better - wow, with almost 20 years of coming 2 or 3 times a year, it is the best! A perfect spot - we are regular visitors to Beaune and this apartment was much more like home than a hotel - wonderful for anyone, but especially seasoned travellers a bit sick of hotels. M&G Canada
What a fabulous apartment for a grand touch of luxury, and with the romantic setting of Beaune all around, we've had a lovely visit. A&C Les Vosges, France
