Luxury Manor House in the Burgundy Vines with Heated Pool and AC in Bedrooms

We’ve rented a lot of other villa, chateaux and domaines, but this one was the best! The six en suite bedrooms were all the same size and had the same amenities so none of the six couples had a less than optimal room as we’ve experienced in other rentals. The two on-site staff were wonderful and spoke perfect English (they’re Irish so not a surprise). The location in Burgundy was perfect for day trips. If you book this rental, you’ll be delighted!

Le Domaine is the most beautiful and well equipped house ever. Better in the flesh than the photographs suggest. We stayed as a group of 11 extended family members and a couple of babies. Largely because of babies and children, we wanted a place with a pool where kids could be when adults were doing other things. Le Domaine was perfect for this. Dennis and Ellie, the owners, have a history of taking groups to rental houses around Europe. They took notes and used them in renovating this property, resulting in attention to detail that makes everything work for a large group. I cannot think of a single thing that was lacking in making the house work for us. There is an exceedingly well equipped cook’s kitchen. Every bedroom was beautiful with en suite bathrooms. They have cribs and the ability to turn the bedrooms (or at least some of them) from queen beds to twins. The bedrooms are arranged in pairs with good separation from other pairs of bedrooms. All are well away from public rooms where there might be noise. There are even two pairs of washers and dryers, so no queue for doing laundry. There are multiple outdoor terrace areas and a stunning view from the salon terrace over the pool to the hillside village beyond. The house is about 40 minutes from Beaune in a beautiful rural area. It is a great cycling area. The Voie Verte that runs from Santenay to Nolay might be the most scenic ride in Burgjndy. Once you get on it, you are completely separate from cars and riding on the level through stunning vineyards all the way. The house is also close to the Canal du Centre which is another great biking opportunity along the old towpath. Beware that the house is uphill from both, so the return may be a bit challenging for some riders. We rented bicycles from Bourgogne Randonées in Beaune. They were delivered to the house and were in mint condition. Mustn’t forget Stephen and Lilly who are the house managers. They live in a separate area of the property. They are a delightful couple with an enviable history of adventurous living. They were completely unobtrusive, but there to meet any need we might have, including doing the shopping for us one day. On the subject of shopping, do not miss the Sunday morning market in Chagny. There are dozens of vendors with beautiful local produce, cheese and meat, as good as can be found anywhere. I could say much more, but seem to be cut off by HomeAway.

Our group rented the Manor for a week, with five couples and seven children. The sprawling property accommodated our group and never once felt crowded. The house has been spectacularly remodeled recently, but maintains the charm of a centuries old villa. Stephen and Lilly are the most wonderful hosts, very welcoming and kind. The hosts lives in a house that is tucked away adjacent to the Manor and are as available or as scarce as you would like them to be. It would be a shame to visit the property and miss out on their wonderful cooking (for a very reasonable fee), Lilly is a particularly accomplished pastry chef. Stephen is a wine instructor with passion for Burgundy and offered a fantastic wine tasting, catered to our tastes. All amenities you could imagine are offered, but with no pressure and all the flexibility you could hope for. I can't recommend this property enough, I certainly hope I am able to visit again and again!

This was the best place we have ever stayed. The house is architecturally beautiful, very spacious and the owner has updated the property to an extremely high specification which makes the stay very comfortable indeed. The setting and grounds are stunning and there is a lovely swimming pool. The best part of the trip is Lilly and Stephen who live next door and help you with everything. They are what made our stay so very special and their cooking is 2 Michelin Star plus. We were two families travelling together and we all fell in love with this ace and the Burgundy area.
