Gîte de la Velle - SAINT-MARTIN-DU-TARTRE

Catherine welcomes you to an authentic, meticulously restored 19th-century outbuilding, situated on a beautiful, gated and perfectly maintained property (a historic former family farm, of which the charming farmhouse remains, now the owners' residence), nestled in a peaceful, typical rural hamlet in the heart of the southern Côte Chalonnaise wine country. Just 3 km from the picturesque village of Saint-Martin-du-Tartre, perched on a hillside at an altitude of 430m, like a panoramic viewpoint, it boasts a listed Romanesque-Gothic church dating from the 11th century and a magnificent, unobstructed view over the verdant Guye Valley and its stunning, unspoiled countryside. A splendid landscaped setting, a blend of vineyards, farmland, and natural beauty, nestled in a bucolic valley of hedged meadows, beneath the wooded crests of the gentle surrounding hills, just a stone's throw from the first vineyards and several wild forests (perfect for exploring on relaxing walks or mountain bike rides). This spacious and comfortable cottage boasts a vast living area with a beautiful cathedral ceiling. It exudes a warm, chic country style, both luxurious and refined, enhanced by meticulous heritage restoration (preserving the original stone structure and walls). The atmosphere is cozy, inviting, and very comfortable. Full of charm and character. A pleasant 35m² terrace, partially shaded by a reed screen, is beautifully landscaped with plants and flowers and perfectly furnished (with lounge chairs and a hammock chair).
