Description
In the undulating countryside of western Burgundy is the beautiful Maison Lumière, a wonderful holiday home set in a rural area of woodland and fields yet within striking distance to many highlights of this incredible region.
The owners have lovingly created a welcoming home which offers privacy with high levels of comfort. The open-plan space downstairs is impressive with wood-beamed ceilings throughout the living and dining areas leading through to a striking contemporary kitchen with picture book windows overlooking the remarkable gardens, allowing the sun to flood in to this beautifully lit space.
The five bedrooms feature individual design combining a contemporary spirit with some traditional aspects, like exposed brick walls and natural wood beams. Homely touches throughout such as interesting artwork and sculptures give this house a unique and modern style with characterful local features.
Immerse yourself in the wonderful surroundings of your glorious garden, whether it’s lazing on the vast lawns, reading under one of the magnificent trees or finding a quiet spot to take in the lush scenery around you. The inviting heated swimming pool is surrounded by smart decking for lounging in the sun or dining by the pool or head to the relaxing al-fresco terrace and barbecue for long evening meals with family, friends and good local wine under the starry sky.
Wander out of your home and within a few minutes you can walk down to a local lake for fishing, canoeing, picnics by the shore or some lovely woodland walks. Exploring further afield will take you to charming villages and market towns such as Sancerre with its fine white wines, Briare on the banks of the Loire or a little further to the famous hilltop town of Vézelay. The spectacular cities of Auxerre, Nevers and Orléans can be visited within a day or you may prefer to spend your time exploring magical castles, discovering idyllic vineyards or taking a boat trip down the Loire or Yonne rivers.
With hikes, mountain biking and horse-riding nearby, as well as other family activities such as tree-top adventures and farms, it’s up to you to decide how active or relaxed you wish to be in this delightful part of Burgundy. /n Security deposit /n €500 paid by bank transfer 6 weeks before the arrival or in cash on arrival, refunded 14 days after departure, subject to full damage inspection. /n Arrival time /n Between 4.00 p.m. and 6.00 p.m. unless otherwise agreed. /n Departure time /n 10.00 a.m. /n End of stay cleaning included? /n Yes. /n Linen & towels included? /n Yes, excluding pool towels. /n Energy costs included? /n €105/week, to be paid locally in cash. /n Heating costs included? /n €15/day on request. /n Minimum stay /n 7 days. /n Changeover day /n Flexible. /n Pets welcome? /n €50 per booking and by prior arrangement with the owner. /n Smoking Allowed? /n Outside only. /n Tax /n Mandatory tourist tax of €1,50 pp/pn, to be paid locally upon arrival. /n Other Ts and Cs /n Stag/hen parties and other celebrations are permitted on request only and subject to prior agreement from the owner.
