About this property
Maison Bourguignonne is the ideal family home in the heart of Burgundy. It sits in a peaceful setting surrounded by lush countryside and stunning views over the Morvan National Park, yet within a 25-minute walk to a charming market village.
The village is one of the largest in the Morvan. It has all amenities including good local restaurants, various boulangeries, a butcher, an excellent cheese shop, antique shop and a small weekly market, as well as a large monthly market which takes over the whole village. There are also other pretty walks in the area which lead to the village. It even has a Lido with tennis facilities.
This 200-year-old barn has been restored with care and features many rustic and charming features like exposed wooden beams, stone walls, terracotta floors and a large stone fireplace with wood-burning stove. Modern creature comforts have not been forgotten and include flat screen TV with Bose Home Cinema with I-Pod docking station and Sky TV.
Maison Bourguignonne was created for memorable family holidays. There is a billiard table, board games books, boules court, children's swing, Weber gas barbecue and a lovely terrace with outside speakers for alfresco dining.
New for 2021, a walled garden has been lovingly created with over 20 different types of herbs as well as soft fruits. You may also be lucky enough to taste cherries from the orchard (so divine!) or the many grapes from vines trailing over the beautiful new arbour.
The local area not only offers plenty of typical Burgundian gastronomic delights, but lots of adventure too, from white-water rafting to lazy cycle routes along the Nivernais Canal and rambles in the National Park. The spa town, St Honoré les Bains, with Spa and indoor pool is only seven kilometers away.
This lovely home in the heart of Burgundy is the ultimate family retreat which combines tranquility, charm and modern comfort in an idyllic setting.
Maison Bourguignonne sits in the outskirts of a peaceful rural village in the Burgundian department of Nievre, within the beautiful Morvan Regional Nature Park. The village is about 25-minute walk away (2.1km, up a hill) or 5-minute drive and has plenty of restaurants, bistros, boulangeries, charcuteries, boutiques, a weekly market and many other amenities. There is also a Regional Tourist Information office in the village.
This is an absolute paradise for nature lovers: incredible woodlands, mountains, hills, waterfalls, rivers and quaint traditional villages to explore.
Choose among endless leisure activities such as cycling, hiking, horse-back riding, golf, tennis, canoeing, fishing, rafting, sailing, windsurfing and a lot more. In the park, you will also find two museums and cafes.
Furthermore, the French Grand Prix Circuit is just 40 minutes away.
Burgundy is also well known for its vineyards, so a wine tasting experience is highly recommended.

We had a very relaxing week. The house was well equipped but the highlight was the pool. The children spent many hours playing in it.

What a lovely house! Great pool, and perfect for families with small children as it has a fence around it. The sound system is great for sitting on the terrace, and the evenings are so peaceful - stars and crickets. We saw a lovely red squirrel bouncing across the lawn, and so many gorgeous lizards. Really recommend it for a relaxing family holiday. I hope we will be back next year!

Lovely location & good facilities for a family holiday. We all loved the pool, which is safe & adequately fenced off for young children. Large garden for games & plenty of shade during the whole day.
