Die Scheune - Dracy LES Couches

A sublime "country loft" – featuring a 4-person outdoor spa sheltered under a pergola – nestled in the heart of the Couchois vineyards! An authentic 19th-century wine press – a characterful building linked to a former wine estate – has been completely and meticulously renovated into an elegant, contemporary-inspired gîte. It sits peacefully on a beautiful, historic property within a tranquil, picturesque little wine-growing village, just 2.5 km from the charming medieval market town of Couches, a designated "Green Holiday Resort" (offering all amenities and exceptional heritage sites including the famous 13th-century castle of Queen Marguerite of Burgundy and the seven menhirs of Epoigny, one of Burgundy's most important megalithic sites). The magnificent landscaped setting is in the heart of the rolling wine country, a succession of vineyard slopes, wooded hills, and verdant valleys of meadows and hedgerows. An ultra-privileged location at the crossroads of the world-renowned vineyards of the Côtes de Beaune, Hautes Côtes de Beaune & Côtes Chalonnaises, on the wine route (linked to the nearby "Route des Grands Crus"), several marked hiking trails in "green walks" (winding between vineyards & open nature), the GR 137 connected to the GR7 & GR76 and the superb GRP "Au Fil des Vignobles et Vallées", adjoining the Romanesque church circuit, 8 km from the greenway (connected to EuroVelo6) & a "favorite cycling loop" of 24 km (another route of the same type 10 km away) and 8 km from the Canal du Centre (navigable route to discover during a boat trip or on foot). Ideally located at the crossroads of the Côte d'Or, at the intersection of the rich territories of Chalonnais, Pays Beaunois, Autunois as well as Morvan & its Natural Park. Located 8 km from Saint-Léger-sur-Dheune (and its river marina connected to the Canal du Centre), 13 km from the spa town of Santenay (with its casino), 18 km from Le Creusot (home to the renowned Combes amusement park / Creusot TGV train station 22 km away), 25 km from Autun (a designated "City of Art and History," boasting an invaluable heritage spanning over 2,000 years of human presence), 30 km from Chalon-sur-Saône (also a designated "City of Art and History"), 31 km from Beaune, 49 km from the famous Gallo-Roman archaeological site of Bibracte (a designated "Grand Site de France"), and 58 km from Tournus. The perfect haven for a relaxing and comfortable stay, whether you're traveling as a family or a couple!
