Located in the middle of the Burgundy countryside, there's been a building on this site for around two centuries, something you might be able to tell from the wooden beams, flagstone flooring and thick stone walls. However, it's no longer a humble barn, but a luxurious French getaway.

In the intervening two hundred years, plenty has been added to aid in this transformation. Outside, the most notable change has been the building of a heated swimming pool in the middle of the lush grounds and even more recently — in 2021, in fact — a walled garden has been constructed holding over twenty types of herbs and soft fruits. If you time your visit just right, you might be able to pick cherries and grapes straight off the branch.

When the weather's being kind, there's everything from a boules court and swing to a barbecue on the terrace with outdoor speakers to enjoy. If, however, the clouds are ominously grey, you can keep yourselves occupied on the billiards table or home cinema setup instead.

The nearest village is only twenty-five minutes away on foot and offers all the charming bakeries, charcuteries and markets you could want. As well as that, the unspoilt Morvan Regional Nature Park that surrounds the address means the local area is perfect for long walks or cycle rides. If that sounds too tame, the Magny Cours circuit — a French Grand Prix venue — is only forty minutes' drive away.

Located in the heart of Côte d’Or, this beautiful home was built in the 1900s and restored to make a lovely holiday getaway. Kids will love the vast garden, where you'll find outdoor seating for enjoying an alfresco meal or an aperitif. The kitchen is fully equipped for large meals and there's plenty of space for groups. Nearby vineyards can be visited by bike or on foot, but we recommend having a car here for day trips – Dijon and the Parc Naturel Regional du Morvan are easily accessible by car.

This renovated barn in the Burgundy countryside is a twenty-minute drive from the charming town of Beaune. The hosts, Laura and Peter, have kitted the place out with all the creature comforts you’ll need for an unforgettable break. There’s a sauna available in the autumn and winter, a garden for refreshments alfresco and a bar for sampling the region’s best wines. At capacity, two guests will sleep on a sofa bed, which may not be ideal if you’re planning an extended stay.

Burgundy Haven

Wine Cooler

If you passed this nondescript townhouse on one of Baune's historic side streets, you wouldn't guess there's a hidden stone-walled wine cellar on its lower level. But that's exactly what you can expect from this unique home in the Burgundy wine region, formerly featured in The Times.

Built in the 17th century, the spacious house retains charming original details – from the exposed wooden beams to the curved sash windows. But your host has updated it with striking sculptures and graphic wall art, as well as comfortable furniture so you can kick back and relax after a day of exploring. 

You can't leave this home without arranging a tasting in the romantic candle-lit cellar, where an expert will introduce you to the area's finest wines. We're labelling this spot as the dream honeymoon location. Once you've had a taste of the flavourful wine, you'll likely want to see where it comes from. Get out into the countryside and enjoy a tour of nearby vineyards, arranged by your host to make your stay extra special.

Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Burgundy region from this fabulous country house surrounded by serene landscapes and open countryside. From the moment you arrive, prepare to be awe-struck by the home's stunning 16th-century facade featuring blue window shutters and stone infrastructure. 

The inside is just as beautiful as exposed wooden beams, and original stone floors pave the way to a cosy stay. But, while the space undoubtedly preserves its original charm, modern furnishings offer style and practicality. We particularly love the pink and yellow colour scheme of the kitchen, with bold checkerboard flooring and vibrant walls – this room, in particular, brags bags of charm. 

Open the French windows onto the gorgeous grassy garden, where you'll also find a sunny terrace - perfect for lazy afternoons with a glass of local wine in hand. Wander around the wooded grounds, reconnecting with nature as you go. The local neighbourhood is an equally dreamy setting where you'll find only three local people living there all year round. 

It doesn't get much more rural than that. Nearby, you'll find the towns of Sennecey le Grand, 5 kilometres to the north, and Tournus, 7 kilometres to the south. In each of these local towns, there are shops and restaurants to pick all you need. Don't miss the rolling local vineyards where the winegrowers welcome you to tour the vines and sample the wines. 


Un Petit Verre 

For a group holiday with a difference, this hunting lodge in the heart of the Parc Naturel Régional du Morvan certainly fits the bill. Wander through the grand eighteenth-century halls and wood-panelled rooms furnished with leather armchairs, and picture yourself setting out on a hunt. Surrounded by verdant hills, there are endless hikes to take, through the woods and fields, with spectacular vineyards a short distance away. Take a dip in the pool and admire the panorama of Burgundy stretching out below, and enjoy atmospheric dinners outside in the grounds.

This home has everything you could ask for from a classic French chateau - grand dining room, library, wood panelled palatial living room - with an artistic twist. Murals painted on the walls add a fun and eclectic edge - we especially loved the theatrical curtains framing the bath and the ballroom dancing frieze. The grounds are equally as lavish, with 15 acres of private deer field parkland, a swimming pool and cottages dotted around the grounds. Nearby Beaune isn't short of activities to choose from, with helicopter rides, golf and hot air ballooning, to name but a few, plus a rich cultural and historical heritage to discover and enjoy.

This enormous chateau in the Burgundy countryside has quite a fascinating backstory. It was built in 1900 and gifted to a French actress by her lover before it was sold to the Red Cross and used as a war hospital. Today, it's the spot for a rather sumptuous getaway.

The interior is full of grand features, from the long dining table in the orangery and high-ceilinged living room to the library and impressive hallway. You might also notice some more recent additions, such as the home cinema set-up and spa-worthy bathrooms.

Outside, too, has some rather inviting features, chief among them the heated swimming pool surrounded by loungers. When you're finished taking a dip, there's plenty more to discover in the four acres of grounds, including a fishing pond and a shared tennis and basketball court.

However you choose to fill your days, the chateau's rural location will ensure you can do it in the utmost tranquillity. There are lots of walking routes that start nearby and Morvan National Park lies under half an hour's drive away. The town of Epinac only takes ten minutes in the car to reach and offers a restaurant, bakery, grocery and butchers.

The Gilded Age

This is a luxurious 19th-century castle located in the heart of Burgundy, surrounded by vineyards and wineries. The property boasts a heated swimming pool, wellness and sports facilities, a trampoline, and a swing. The private property covers about 4,000 m2 and includes a large terrace with a beautiful jeu-de-boule court, a table tennis table, and a summer kitchen equipped with a fridge, sink, hob and a selection of summer dishes. There are nine bedrooms in total, each with an adjacent luxury bathroom. The salon is beautifully decorated with original murals and offers a spacious sitting area by the fireplace with a large flat-screen TV. The dining room has a long table with comfortable armchairs and high French doors that allow sunlight to flow into the interior. There is also an elongated kitchen that offers guests complete cooking and eating utensils. Finally, the castle has a real sports hall with professional fitness equipment, a billiard room, sauna, hammam, and more.

This charming cottage stands at the heart of a famous wine village in Burgundy, Puligny-Montrachet. It’s in a marvellous location for exploring the vineyards of Burgundy, and for soaking up the atmosphere of quaint French villages. The wine capital of Burgundy, Beaune, is just a fifteen-minute drive away. 

The traditional house stands across from the village square – you can watch the comings and goings of the locals from your terrace. Each morning, you need only take a few steps to buy fresh bread and pastries from the boulangerie, which you can devour on the terrace – we love dining alfresco on holiday. In the evening, you might cook on the barbecue, or for special occasions make a reservation at the Michelin-starred restaurant just down the road. 

The cottage blends historic charm with stylish decor. You can look forward to seeing the original parquet flooring, exposed stone walls and wooden beams, alongside some modern touches that make your stay all the more comfortable. After a day spent cycling around nearby vineyards, it feels glorious to sink into the master suite’s deep bathtub – pour yourself a glass of wine to take your relaxation to the next level.

This stylish little studio apartment is right in the heart of historic Annecy. From your doorstep, you can step out into streets lined with wooden-shuttered buildings, where cafés spill out onto the pavement. An alpine town, Annecy is flanked by snow-capped mountains and perhaps the most picturesque spot is the stone Palais in the centre of the Le Thiou River – the view of which is best enjoyed from the riverside restaurants and gelaterias, a five-minute walk from this apartment. Although it’s a studio, the apartment itself feels spacious and it has plenty of character courtesy of the exposed brick wall and hardwood floor. A wall of windows lets in plenty of sunshine during the day and a room divider separates the living and bedroom area from the dine-in kitchen. There’s even a stylish, Scandinavian-esque desk if you want to work remotely.

The Moon Lake

Rooftop Terrace

Set in 32 acres of scenic landscaped gardens and parkland, you'll find this magnificent castle nestled in the picturesque Loire and Berry regions (around two and a half hours away from Paris). Built in 1835 on the site where there used to be a Benedictine monastery and an original orchard, the property is packed with history and old-world French charm. 

From the jam-packed home library to the rustic French kitchen setting and the opulent bedroom suites dressed in modern furnishings that nod to the chateau's original personality – enjoy a taste of traditional France when staying here. And not just in the aesthetic sense, as the kitchen space offers the perfect set-up to rustle up some local French culinary delights for yourself, or why not hire a private chef to do so for you?

Not to mention the many farmer's markets and neighbouring towns and villages – easily reachable by car.

The wooden ceilings and furniture give it a classic chalet feel, with quaint furnishings and decor that make it feel really inviting.

For warmer days there are sunny balconies with stunning views and a west-facing terrace with a Jacuzzi. You'll need a car here, as it's a 1-kilometre walk to the ski bus. It’s also 4 kilometres to La Croix Fry and 3 kilometres to the shops and restaurants of Manigod. But that’s a small price to pay for such a beautiful location.

Ski Storage / Boot Room

Set on an old farm between the village of Manigod and the ski resort of La Croix Fry, this home is about as peaceful as it gets.

The interiors, created by local craftsmen, have a beautiful quality that only adds to this home’s charm – throw in the hot tub, steam room, and views of the Manigod Valley, and you’re onto a real winner.

This chalet not only has a private pool but also a hot tub and a garden to enjoy. The home is perfect for families, as there’s a lounge and a separate TV room. There’s also an office space for those who would like to work remotely and a sauna to relax in after a busy day of skiing or hiking. We love the beautiful views of the valley and the surrounding mountains here. Location-wise, this place is just 3 kilometres from Villards-sur-Thônes and halfway between La Clusaz and Le Grand Bornand ski resorts, so you can ski somewhere new every day. 

Bonnevie

Playstation

You'll find this chalet just outside of Thônes. If you're keen to hit the slopes, La Clusaz is only a short drive away. Prefer hiking? The surrounding mountains offer treks for all levels and the house overlooks a flat meadow. When you're not out and about, you'll make a beeline for the hot tub. There's also a patio perfect for alfresco dining, an indoor sauna ideal for winding down after skiing, and a wood-burning stove for when you fancy a chilled night at home. With a mezzanine bedroom ideal for older children, we think this dwelling makes a great base for eight adults and one child.
