The delightful Maison Guigone, just five minutes walk from the historic walled town of Beaune in Burgundy, is the perfect base for visitors who want to discover the rich wine heritage of this region.
You won't need a car to explore from this three-storey townhouse between the vineyards and the town. It's a short walk to the shops, restaurants and markets, and to the historic Hospices de Beaune, which was built as a refuge for the poor in the mid 15th century and now hosts the annual wine auction on the third Sunday in November.
The area is famous for its vineyards, and the local villages will be familiar to you from the labels of wine bottles, but you don't need to go far for a tasting - there are plenty of cellars in the town itself where you can enjoy the local wines. There are also plenty of restaurants close to Maison Guigone too, unless you'd rather pick up some fresh produce at the market and cook up your own delicious dinner in the well-equipped kitchen.
The owners of the house are well-travelled, and the classic yet contemporary decor of this home is enhanced by objects they have picked up around the world - it's a really charming home where you can make yourself very comfortable.
Maison Guigone sleeps six people in three bedrooms, with two bathrooms, over three floors, and is air-conditioned throughout. Parking is available in the street outside the house.
The open plan living area is on the ground floor, with a cosy seating area, round dining table and chairs and a sleek contemporary kitchen with all you need to rustle up a delicious meal.
An old oak staircase leads up to the first floor, where you'll find the elegant master bedroom, which has a sofa and an en suite bathroom with a separate shower. There's also a separate toilet on this floor.
There are two more double bedrooms on the top floor, the old attic, which share a shower room and a separate toilet.
The house is decorated throughout in neutral shades with oak floors, bringing a sense of calm. Brushed pine has been used in the attic rooms to bring a flavour of the mountains, where the owner spends a lot of her time. Maison Guigone is the perfect place for a group of friends looking to discover the wines and gastronomy of the area, but there's also plenty to interest families in this beautiful region.
ABOUT THE AREA
It's the wonderful wines produced in the Burgundy region which attract a lot of visitors to this beautiful area. The town is home to a great choice of wine vaults where you can sample and buy some of the best vintages, but booking is essential.
The highlight of the wine calendar in Beaune is the annual auction at the Hospices des Beaune on the third Sunday in November. One of the region's most significant wine producers, Les Hospices sells off much of its produce, mainly Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, at this three-day festival. Even if wine is not your thing, it's worth a visit to Les Hospices for its stunning architecture and the museum.
If you'd prefer to get out to the vineyards themselves, why not cycle, on the Voie des Vignes? This 36km linear trail will take you from Beaune via Pommard and Meursault to Santenay, and then on to Nolay. You’ll pass through beautiful vineyards with names that you are sure to recognise - be sure to make time for a tasting or two. There are plenty of places where you can hire bikes in Beaune.
Take time out during a day’s sightseeing to relax in the peaceful Parc de la Bouzaire. Younger visitors will enjoy the ducks and fish in the small pond, and it’s a great place for a picnic. There are plenty of paths to explore, and the park is a great starting place for cycling tours of the vineyards.
NOTE: Free wifi. Cleaning, linen and towels included!
