Whether you’re dreaming of a cosy cottage with a garden for those endless summer evenings, a rental with a private pool for peak relaxation, or a home perfectly placed near museums and historic landmarks — this handpicked selection is all about turning your holiday into pure bliss. Ready to uncover these hidden gems where nature, heritage, and tranquillity meet in perfect harmony? Let’s go — your unforgettable Burgundy getaway starts here. There’s something for everyone in Burgundy: the peaceful charm of the countryside, storybook villages like Cluny and Autun, and of course, Dijon — with its vibrant city centre steeped in art, history, and local flavor.

Between vineyard strolls, take time to soak in the breathtaking landscapes of the Morvan or the Saône Valley — the perfect settings to truly recharge. And of course, Burgundy is all about wine, fine food, and those unforgettable moments shared around the table in a cosy rental, where a fully equipped kitchen is just waiting for budding chefs to shine. Whether you’re traveling with family, friends, or flying solo, there are countless reasons to treat yourself to a getaway steeped in nature, relaxation, and heritage. In the heart of Burgundy, the good life comes naturally. Time to pack your bags!

On the garden side, two private courtyards invite you to soak up the outdoors — whether it’s lunch in the sun, a chat beneath the old lime tree, or simply admiring the golden Burgundy stone glowing in the light. In winter, the mood shifts to cosy evenings by the large fireplace, glass of Volnay in hand. But Le Clos des Ursulines didn’t earn its name by chance: in 1684, the house became a peaceful retreat for the Ursuline nuns of Beaune. Its roots go even deeper, back to 1534, when it was built by the lords of Bligny for their daughter, Barbe Belerien. For centuries, the estate combined farming and winemaking, before becoming the timeless holiday haven it is today — now lovingly cared for by two sisters.

Guests at Le Clos des Ursulines — often families or groups of friends who love good wine and lively gatherings — find the perfect base here for exploring Burgundy’s many treasures. Hop on a bike and ride through the vineyards of Pommard, Meursault, or Volnay. Wander the cobbled streets of Beaune, or settle in at La Ferme de la Ruchotte to savor bold, locally sourced cuisine. Another must-try? Atelier Escoffier, where the scent of a traditional bread oven fills the air and a vineyard-view terrace sets the scene. Prefer something stronger? Alambic Bourguignon distills eaux-de-vie that capture the very spirit of the terroir. And for a chic countryside dinner, head to Chez Armand at Château de Mimande — an evening of elegance with just the right touch of ease.

Burgundy is home to many beautiful châteaux, but this one has something truly special. Nestled in the heart of the Yonne, this historic estate — once a noble residence dating back to 1692 and famed for its vineyards — is now undergoing a bold revival. With the visionary touch of French architect Jessica Angel, Château du Feÿ has become a place where past and future blend seamlessly into one inspiring destination.

Set on 42 hectares of land dotted with majestic century-old trees, Le Château du Feÿ is much more than a historic landmark — it’s a place where magic lingers in the air, inviting you to slow down and truly escape. Today, this exceptional estate hosts artist residencies, collaborative workshops, and a variety of events, including Feÿ Arts — a multidisciplinary festival where contemporary art, gastronomy, architecture, and music come together. The château also opens its doors for weddings, retreats, seminars, and holidays, welcoming up to 40 guests across 28 elegant bedrooms. A one-of-a-kind property full of surprises, where every window opens onto nature. And the best part? Four-legged friends are welcome too.

Dating back to the 1820s, Le Couvent des Ormes began as a religious establishment, later hosted summer camps, and eventually became a warm and welcoming family home. This layered history gives the rental a unique charm — one that immediately captivated architect Alexandre Deshayes and his partner, the current owners. “We were especially moved by the cross on the façade and the unfinished fresco in what used to be the classroom,” they explain. These architectural details infuse the house with a true sense of character and soul.

 

 

Spread across three floors and 450 square meters, the couple chose to preserve the spirit of the place through a minimalist, pared-back aesthetic. Everything here is white — from the walls to the linens — with furnishings and amenities kept to the essentials, each piece carefully selected. The living spaces, especially the bedrooms, are simply furnished with just a bed and a small bedside table. After all, why complicate things? The monastic atmosphere of Le Couvent des Ormes pays tribute to its past while inviting a simpler, more authentic way of living: “This is our home sweet home. We cherish the little moments — sharing time in the sun, walking in the woods, or curling up by the fire with a good book. It’s the simple things that make life beautiful.”

 

A little fun fact: this 1850 estate once belonged to a forward-thinking notary who owned… the very first car in Saône-et-Loire! Today, the property has been thoughtfully updated with modern comforts — including a swimming pool, a sauna, a pétanque court, and even an organic vegetable garden. Everything you need for a fulfilling (and delicious) holiday experience awaits.

 

To delight their guests, Laura and Emeric host tastings of 100% biodynamic wines, always paired with delicious local gougères. As true regional experts, they know all the best spots — from top vineyards and must-visit restaurants to scenic walking trails. And the best way to explore it all? By electric bike available to rent directly from the house. Before heading out to discover the area, guests can start their day with a homemade breakfast, and even order lunch or dinner on request.

PAPOTTE was originally a flour mill, its wheel turning until the late 1990s. A beloved landmark in the village, the mill found new life when a young local couple fell for it — in the very place where Charles grew up and spent all his childhood holidays. Just 20 minutes from Beaune, its famous hospices, and world-renowned vineyards, the restored mill is now a heartfelt tribute to heritage and home.

Set on a 2.5-hectare estate, PAPOTTE offers a fresh, modern take on the traditional Burgundy country house. Facing the natural beauty of its surroundings and the timeworn charm of the historic building is a bold, contemporary, and elegant design. “We were committed to creating a poetic, unique, and above all harmonious atmosphere — to breathe new life and meaning into a place so rich in history,” the owners share.

La Maison Maroc radiates a warm elegance that feels effortlessly genuine. Designed to host up to 14 guests, it’s the perfect retreat imagined by two friends — a place to reconnect, unwind, and share meaningful moments suspended in time. The carefully curated space features four cosy double bedrooms and a spacious dormitory for six children, making everyone feel right at home. What’s on the agenda? Strolls through the mysterious Moroccan forest, fun-filled cookie-baking workshops in the charming kitchen, lively board game nights, and a standout experience: guided foraging for edible flowers, followed by their preparation and tasting — all served on beautifully mismatched vintage crockery.

The style is distinctly vintage, almost bourgeois, with sparkling chandeliers, a grand wooden staircase, period furniture, delicate tapestries, marble fireplaces, and majestic gilded mirrors. A few carefully chosen modern touches add just the right amount of contrast, subtly brightening the ensemble. Bathed in natural light, the living room and dining area flow seamlessly into one another through large glass doors, creating an airy, open atmosphere. Chic, spacious, and luminous, this space truly came into its own after the removal of one of the original two kitchens — becoming the vibrant heart of the home.
