I do not have enough superlatives to describe this charming getaway!!! My family and I frequented this house in August 2018, and from start to finish we have nothing but positive reviews/comments to say about the accommodation and its wonderful hosts, Fanny and Jacques.
The property is situated in the lovely picturesk quiet village of Forleans, in the heart of Burgondy, it’s is about 1hr from Dijon, and a few km from the village of Époisses, from which the cheese of the same name originates, as well as being about 50 mins from the heart of the major vineyards of Beaune.
The master bedroom has a single double bed, but ample room for air beds/mattresses if required, where as the 2nd bedroom has 3 single beds (one bunk bed and a lone single bed), followed by a sofa bed in the well equipped kitchen/dinner/lounge. There is a dining table that seats 6 inside, as well as a outside table that also seats 6, which is situated on a patio with a small BBQ.
Where as the (rented) property itself, is not ginormous, the owners do have substantial land with plenty of room for the kids to run around and have fun. While we stayed the weather was pleasant enough for Fanny and Jacques to get out their pool (a stand alone one about 2x4m) and were more than happy for our kids to play in it, as well as make use of their own children’s toys in their shed.
Fanny and Jacques were exceptional hosts, providing lots of local information, as well as recommendations for us and the children during our stay, as well as providing some local treats on arrival.
As mentioned previously, I have nothing but praise for the property and its owners and I would certainly recommend it to anyone.
