About this property

A Beaujolais winemaker's house + vineyard, a/c, exclusive use of heated pool

'Chez Briar and Michel' - This spacious four bedroom traditional Beaujolais house, set among the Beaujolais vineyards, has exclusive use of a pool which averages 24-29°C, cottage garden and shady courtyard with roses around the door.

The house was originally built over the wine cellars, adjacent to the owners home, to accommodate the 'vigneron' (wine maker) who tended the property's vineyard and wine making. Wine no longer being made on the property has enabled us to convert the old press room, 6 x 7m, into a ground level kitchen, dining and sitting room with French windows opening out onto the court yard and out door dining area. There's also a log burner making this a cosy holiday let for the Beaujolais Nouveau week in November, Christmas or New Year.

The house, which has all modern comforts, offers wonderful panoramic views of the Beaujolais hills from every window, and the garden opens out onto the vineyards with views as far as the Mont Blanc. The style is traditional, with the charm only authentic antique furnishings could bring.

The property has three acres of Gamay vines which were previously tended by the owners who produced a Beaujolais Villages and is now managed by a producer of organic 'vin naturel'.

The pool is open during peak and mid season April to September, closing for low season from October to March.

A little piece of heaven
We have just returned from what we all agreed was one of our best holidays ever, and Domaine de la Fleur de Bruyere was the chief reason for that. A beautiful home with vineyards coming up to the door, there is a spot to relax in the extensive gardens and pool area for every time of day and evening, sun or shade. We shall not forget the dramatic sunrises and sunsets. The house is so comfortable and well equipped it feels as though you are staying in someone's home and they just walked out - in fact they probably have, as the welcoming owners live in the other wing, never obtrusive but always on hand with advice, help and friendly conversation. We very much enjoyed a couple of evenings in their company. We were three and occasionally four couples - parents, sons and partners, plus friends - but would love to come again perhaps when we are three generations. It would be perfect for children too. An absolute gem of a place.

Lovely house in a beautiful setting
The property ideally suited our group (3 couples) but would be equally good for families with youngsters. Very well equipped with an excellent pool and lovely garden.

A perfect base for exploring the Beaujolais region .
A wonderful gîte. This past week has been very memorable for all the right reasons. We had everything we could possibly need… and more. Location, facilities and equipment was first class. Michel, our host was unobtrusive but always on hand for any advice and suggestions on places to visit, restaurants and particularly the local wine and vineyards.

Why they chose this property

There was no hesitation in choosing this property due to it's location, light airy rooms and wonderful panoramic views of the beautiful region of Beaujolais. We have loved the joint creative project of transforming this once neglected property with great potential and turning it into the bijou that it has become with our own hands.

What makes this property unique

Being wine lovers we also loved tending the vineyard and participating in the production of our own wine - we have now handed over this job to a producer of organic natural wine. 100% rural setting while at close proximity to the beautiful cities of Macon and Lyon which are abound with culture. The perfect location!
