Wonderful stay in picturesque Burgundy wine village
My wife and I stayed at La Maison de Charlotte for five days in September. The property is in the centre of the beautiful village. It is well equipped and well appointed and has a lovely garden - as the weather was unseasonably hot, we spent most of our time outside. Charlotte was very responsive and helpful both before and during our stay - she kindly arranged a trip to the family's wonderful cellars accompanied, of course, by a wine tasting (hosted by Charlotte's charming mother law). Although there are no shops in the village, there is a good bakery and other shops in nearby Pommard and Meursault. We love walking through the vineyards to Pommard - also the location of one of our favourite restaurants, Aupres du Clocher. For those who love good food and wine, accompanied by wonderful walks, it is difficult to think of a more ideal location. We will certainly be back soon!
Comfortable little village house
We loved La Maison des Deux Clochers from the moment we arrived until we left. The description on the website is accurate, and we would highly recommend this house for a couple visiting Burgundy for a few days, or perhaps an artist looking for inspiration for a longer period of time.
The house is lovingly renovated, well equipped, and there's a tiny garden for long summer evenings (also garden furniture and charcoal barbecue with all the trimmings). The house is spotlessly clean, and although other reviewers mentioned the church bells being noisy, we didn't find them so; the windows and shutters provide excellent soundproofing, and anyway the bells ring only between 8-22h.
The location is very good, a few minutes away from Beaune and only a little longer away from Dijon.
Laura and Franck were delightful hosts, even from afar, providing oodles of information and a most delicious bottle of complimentary Burgundy red.
Lovely sitting room, comfortable beds and a nice functional bathroom.
A few things to know when considering this property: you need a car to get around. There are lovely walks through the vineyards available, but you will need a car for everything else.
If you travel with children it might not be ideal. Antique furniture (especially chairs), high sinks (too high for a 4 yo who wants to do everything 'by himself'!), the bedroom layout and the position of the garden (our son could not play there unsupervised because of the distance from the house) make it slightly inconvenient for small children (may be ok for a teenager).
There is no dishwasher (we're amazed they managed to squeeze in so many conveniences in such a tiny space, as it is!) and the counter space for prep in the kitchen is basically non-existent, but I'm guessing most people won't be going to Burgundy to cook daily. Some sort of a coffee preparation method that isn't a coffee filter (a French press or a small stove-top espresso maker) would also be nice (although not essential).
There is a VERY pesky level difference between the hallway and the first bedroom. Although we were warned about it and it was easy enough to negotiate normally, going to the toilet in the middle of the night was an entirely different (and very painful) experience. Do mind your step there ALL THE TIME (or maybe the owners can find a way to address this area!).
Having said that, we loved staying in a much loved, quirky old Burgundian stone house and had a fab holiday.
peace and quiet in comfort.
A fabulous little place finished to a high spec with quality furnishings. A very friendly welcome with a wonderful homemade breakfast. Very peaceful too with a beautiful garden and play area for children. Perfect, thank you 😐
