Near Chablis, on the property of a 18C watermill with heated swimming pool
Previously named Le Petit Moulinot, La Tourelle was a granary which was renovated and comfortably furnished to accommodate four guests.
The cleverly designed kitchen is built into the shape of the tower. On the ground floor, the living room with wood beamed ceiling overlooks the South facing terrace and private garden beside the mill pond. The wooden staircase in the living/dining room leads to the first floor and the attic style bedrooms, one twin and a king double with adjacent small turret dressing room. The bathroom has a bathtub with shower and the wc is separate. This property features WiFi Internet access.
La Tourelle is set in fourteen acres of green grounds, bordered by its own millpond and the River Cure. The 10m x 8m solar heated swimming pool is sunk into the ground, adjacent to and level with the millpond.
On the far side of the pool stands Le Moulinot, a renovated watermill originally built as a grain mill in the 18th Century. Le Moulinot is occasionally rented and the swimming pool is shared by all. Your private garden and the terraced eating area cannot be seen from the pool.

What a gem!The house is absolutely lovely and very private and calm. Our kids (3 and 5 years) really enjoyed the pool and the garden. The house itself and the pool are very clean and the pool was tended to every day of our stay. The host Cinda was very quick to react when we had a minor issue. In short: our week went by way too fast and we hope to be back in the near future.
We had such a wonderful week in this beautiful holiday home. The location is perfect, so peaceful and very private but a 10 minute walk into Vermenton for a baguette or coffee. The house was very comfortable, so spacious and with everything we could need for our stay. The lovely Dee was around if we needed anything. We enjoyed visiting Auxerre, Vezelay and Guedelon. The walks along the canal and river were beautiful and the Friday market in Vermenton was fun too. Would love to go back one day!
We thoroughly enjoyed our week at this property. We arrived tired after an amazing week at the Paris 2024 Olympics, so we were very content to relax for the week by the pool. The weather was in our favour, so we sat, read, swam and played games all week! We enjoyed a trip out to the local market and local supermarket. We also made the most of the local river and went out on our paddle board every morning. Delightful week in a beautiful setting.
We stayed for 10 days and had a wonderfull time. The kids did not want to leave the property: great pool, with an amazing view over the pond. We loved it. Kingfishers flew on and off. Dee took such good care of us. Dee… you are amazing! Lovely villages to visit and beautifull hikes direct from the property.

Magical, delightful, relaxing and just as it looks
We stayed for two weeks at this delightful property - just after a huge storm but all was well in the cottage. Thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet but within 5 minute walk to Vermenton (supermarket, Friday market, tabac, boulangeries) and 20 min walk to Accolay to a fabulous restaurant "Hostellerie de la Fontaine". Friends from Switzerland joined us ( we are from Adelaide Australia) and we explored the regional towns such as Vezelay, Chablis, Dijon, Semur en Auxois, Noyers sur Serein and Auxerre.
Lovely well equipped gite in stunning location and convenient for places we wished to visit such as Auxerre, Chablis and Vezelay. Dijon was a bit further afield but worth the day trip. Vermenton has a good ATAC supermarket and we were impressed with the local Le Meridien brasserie for lunch one day. Great swimming pool and rural setting with plenty of chances to spot wildlife.
We've had a great break, wish it was longer. A friendly local lady Dee is on hand to settle you in and help if necessary. Five stars.
Perfecte locatie nabij park en dorp met restaurants, supermarkt en bakker op loopafstand. Alles in het huis is voorzien van toiletpapier, handdoeken, zwemhanddoeken goede wifi, keukengerei tot zout/peper en olijfolie aan toe. Overal is aan gedacht! Leuke steden en dorpen in omgeving, maar ook activiteiten. Zwembad was niet verwarmd, maar alles verder netjes en schoon. Zeer fijn verblijf!!
We hebben erg genoten in dit prachtige verblijf. Hadden erg mooi weer, wat het verblijf echt ten goede kwam. Als je veel binnen moet zitten, is het wel wat donker en saai vrees ik.
Huis is prachtig geleden omringd door zwembad, vijver en beek. Park des iles ligt op steenworp afstand. We konden ons geen meer idyllische plek voorstellen! Alles tip top in orde. Uistekende en hartelijke ontvangst door Dee. De kinderen hebben zich super geamuseerd bij de basketbalring, in het zwembad en in de tuin. De keuken heeft alles om goed te kunnen koken! De ramen hebben wel geen vliegenramen dus smeren tegen de muggen is een must! Wij komen zeker terug naar deze magische plek. ❤️
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans ce gîte bien rénové et bien équipé dans un environnement verdoyant proche de multiples centres d’interêt ( Auxerre, Chablis, Vézelay, Guédelon…) et du chemin de Compostelle.
Un grand merci à Dee qui s’occupe du gîte, pour son accueil et sa disponibilité.
Ons verblijf in dit huisje, op een sprookjesachtige locatie, was de ultieme vakantie om helemaal tot rust te komen. Het huisje is voldoende ruim, netjes en heeft alle voorzieningen om te genieten. Het zwembad met zicht op de grote vijver is prachtig! Wij waren helemaal alleen op het domein, geen andere bezoekers in de aanliggende B&B. We voelden ons de koning ter rijk. Het dorp Vermenton is vlakbij, 10min wandelen voor een vers Frans stokbrood.
Ein wunderschöner Ort (Haus, Anlage, Weiher, Pool), sehr nette Vermieter (unkompliziert und freundlich), es ist alles da und eine perfekte Lage, um sich viele kulturhistorisch bedeutsamen Orte Burgunds ansehen zu können. Wir waren 14 Tage dort - zwei Erwachsene, zwei Kinder und es war perfekt. Wir können das Haus nur weiterempfehlen!
Ein traumhaftes Objekt und die nahe gelegene Strasse sorgt natürlich für ein Hintergrundrauschen. Aber das störte uns nicht weiter. Auf dem Dach hausen irgendwelche Tiere, die abends, nachts und am frühen Morgen für Geräusche sorgten. Doch ansonsten gab es damit kein Problem. Dee kümmert sich um die gesamte Anlage und ist stets mit Ratschlägen und Hilfsangeboten da, sofern man welche wünscht. Ihren wunderbaren trockenen britischen Humor wussten wir zu schätzen. Kurz, sie ist die Seele, die gute Fee oder der gute Geist des Hauses. Die Besitzer sind sicher sehr glücklich, dass Sie Dee haben.

Beautiful property in a stunning location
We had a lovely week in Vermenton which we used as a stop off on the way to Cannes. The property is incredibly pretty sitting on the bank of a mill pond at the top of which is a lovely pool which we made good use of during our stay. The property is very well equipped and a comfortable relaxing space to be in. The property is a short walk away from the river and the canal, which were kayaking opportunities for our son who even managed to kayak in the mill pond. There is a good walk/cycle path along the canal to Accolay The Atac supermarket is a 15min walk away and supplied everything that you might need. We visited some pretty villages and towns including Chablis and Auxerre, During our visit we saw an abundance of wildlife, Kingfishers, water vole and also what I believed may have been an otter!

Great stay in bucolic landscape
Oasis of tranquility and still very close to all facilities you may need. The place offers also good access to the most interesting touristic spots. Special thanks to Dee for her hospitality. Our kids enjoyed the pool and a fairytale like forest. The possibility to see and touch the crops, cereal fields and harvest machines was also an unique experience for us, tired of living in a big city.

Magical Setting!
A truly relaxing place, perfectly located for exploring the gorgeous Burgundy countryside, canals and Chablis (town and wine). La Tourelle was well furnished, equipped and clean. A big thankyou to Dee and Cinda for all your help and we'll see you again next year for 2 weeks this time!

Picture Perfect
This house is even more beautiful than the pictures show.
Its in a great location and well furnished, equipped with everything you could need for your vacation
We were unfortunate with the weather as it rained 5 days from 7 however there is plenty do to and see in the area and the house is very comfortable.
The village has a good supermarket and with 2 Boulangeries within easy walking distance, fresh bread and croissants are always available.
Although there are 3 properties on the site you feel like you are in the middle of paradise - the views from the sitting area are spectacular
