We enjoyed the stay very much. The two houses are perfect for relaxing days in a beautiful environment. There's enough space and the place is very clean. Thank you very much.
We stayed in La Paillotte with six friends and liked the house very much: comfortable, clean and good beds.
It was hot (25-34 degrees) so the pool was very welcome.
We visited Semur-en-Auxois, Avalon, Bussy-Rabutin, Flavigny and Dijon and had a very nice week.

Wir hatten einen wundervollen Urlaub in Lantilly, mit viel Dank an die zwei tollen Häuser! Alles an der Unterkunft war perfekt, die Ausstattung sehr üppig, nichts fehlte. Die Häuser waren mit viel Liebe und Geschmack eingerichtet, von Anfang an fühlten wir uns sehr willkomen und einfach wohl. Die Beschreibung stimmt auf jeden Fall, in Wirklichtkeit waren die Ráume sogar noch schöner. Jeden Moment haben wir von der wunderschönen Aussicht über die Landschaft genossen. Für unsere gemischte Reisegesellschaft mit Erwachsenen und Teenagern war der Platz wie geschaffen, jeder hatte genug Rückzugsmöglichkeit. Die drei Hunde, die mit waren, konnten sich vollkommen frei bewegen, da das Grundstück komplett umzäunt ist.
In der Gegend kann man sehr viel unternehmen, das Kloster Fontenay, das Museum in Alesia und ein Besuch an Dijon waren sicher Höhepunkte. Wir hatten viel Regen, aber auch dann sind die Häuser ein sehr angenehmer Ort, entweder am Kamin oder im Spielzimmer. Kurzum, ein echter goldener Tip, wir haben die Häuser schon weiterempfohlen und kommen gerne nochmal wieder. Eine Woche ist zu kurz gewesen!

Vielen Dank für Ihre freundlichen Kommentare. Es freut mich sehr zu hören, dass Sie eine so schöne Zeit im La Paillotte hatten.
Wir 6 Erwachsene mit 6 kleineren Kindern und Hund waren vollkommen begeistert von diesem schönen Feriendomizil!
Ein großer Garten mit herrlichem Pool, groß genug für Kinder und Erwachsene, alles bestens Kindergesichert.
Die Häuser erschienen uns viel geräumiger, als auf den Fotos zu sehen war. Viel Platz, genug Geschirr für die große Gruppe, alles sauber, gute Betten, das nette Spielzimmer, freundliche Nachbarn und eine sehr nette Kommunikation mit dem Verwalter. Können wir sehr empfehlen!

About the host
Hosted by George Gray
Our local manager George Gray manages the property which is owned by James and Amanda Mallender. La Paillotte was a wine merchant's house and La Petite Paillotte was its barn. They were bought and renovated by our family over 25 years ago. Our children have grown up holidaying here and we have enjoyed many fun times with family and friends. We have recently implemented a programme of works to upgrade the facilities, replacing furniture, bedding and towels etc and adding new resources like toys for the garden and swimming pool and a revamped playroom in La Petite Paillotte.
Why they chose this property
The area is quiet. Although the nearby medieval town of Semur-en-Auxois is a tourist attraction, nowhere feels busy. There are plenty of places to walk, swim or cycle. You can visit nearby towns, villages or attractions like Abbaye de Fontenay which is a world heritage site or the beautiful town of Beaune. And the food and wine is amazing!
What makes this property unique
The properties are spacious and located in a quiet village. They are well equipped and provide a perfect place to relax with family and friends. The fact that there are two separate houses allows everyone to have their own space. But there is also room to come together to eat in the dining room or on the terraces, gather around the pool or in the playroom. There is plenty to see and do in the local area if a more active holiday is preferred.
