Set among the Beaujolais vineyards with exclusive use of a 5 x 10m pool which averages 24-29°C, cottage garden, shady courtyard and roses around the door.
The house was originally built over the wine cellars, adjacent to the owners home, to accommodate the 'vigneron' (wine maker) who tended the property's vineyard and wine making. Our wine is no longer made on the property, and the old press room, 6 x 7m, has been converted to create a ground level kitchen, dining and sitting room with French windows opening out onto the court yard and out door dining area. There's also a log burner making this a cosy holiday let for the Beaujolais Nouveau week in November, Christmas or New Year.
The house, which has all modern comforts, offers wonderful panoramic views of the Beaujolais hills from every window, and the garden opens out onto the vineyards with views as far as the Mont Blanc. The style is traditional, with the charm only authentic antique furnishings could bring.
The property has three acres of Gamay vines which are tended by the owners who produce a Beaujolais Villages which regularly wins prizes.
The pool is open during peak and mid season, closing for low season.
