Highly Recommended Wine Country House
This is an interesting, large, and lovely property on the outskirts of the small city of Dijon. The four bedroom and two bathroom rental house is across a gravel courtyard from the owners’ house, both historic structures within a large walled and gated former farm. The property is ancient (pre-1789) and a quiet, picturesque gated oasis at the edge of urbanized Dijon.
The rental house itself is both charming and practical. The three upstairs bedrooms are bright and have attractive garden views and hardwood floors throughout. The upstairs bathroom and WC are separate, which is convenient, and the shower is large and functional (which is something noteworthy in France). The fourth bedroom, downstairs, is large and practical, and has a nice window to the pathway along the back of the house. The downstairs bathroom and WC are also separate and large. There are three gathering places in the large downstairs: the kitchen, which is bright and a convenient place to sit, eat, check emails, etc; the dining room, which has a large dining table surrounded by windows and books and is a lovely setting for a special family meal; and the living room, which has a comfortable sofa and lots of natural light. We were two persons for two weeks and four persons for one week, which was really nice, but the house would also be comfortable for larger groups.
Our stay with the Hubert’s in Dijon was a high quality, genuine French experience reminiscent of a past time before globalization and the spread of chain T-shirt stores, chain restaurants, and packaged bus tours. Located near the edge of the urban area, the property is a jumping off place for long, quiet walks in the adjacent undeveloped hills. We had a car, but found that catching the bus (right outside the gate) was a very convenient way to visit the Dijon city center, with frequent service to the heart of the city. Best of all, the property is well-located for multiple evening and day trips to all of the interesting wine country destinations immediately south of Dijon. A five, ten, or 30 minute drive would put us in a lovely wine village, at a charming and authentic small French restaurant, riding bikes along a picturesque canal or through acres of vineyards, or in a castle or church listening to a concert (recommended by Manfred). The owners have professional careers, speak English, willing to help and are savvy about the best places and events, many of which are not well advertised and not in guidebooks.
