This delightful and charming 2-bedroom stone cottage is set in a small hamlet in the heart of the Burgundian countryside and offers a perfect base for discovering the Cote d'Or and Burgundy.
The Little House offers accommodation on two levels with a light, bright living area, comfortable bedrooms and plenty of homely touches.
Children will love to play hide and seek in the enchanted garden with meandering pathways and steps and adults will enjoy relaxing on the sunny terrace with a stone table and benches, or the shady alfresco dining area. A quiet and private location to enjoy the peaceful setting and the wonderful views across the green valley.
The friendly owners live nearby and are nearly always available to assist in providing information on all the local attractions and arrange private wine tastings nearby. They can also arrange extra services such as a shopping service to make your arrival pain free, fresh bread and pastry delivery as well as home-cooked meals and bespoke menus (please enquire regarding details and prices for additional services).
The Little House is a perfect base for exploring the region: this beautiful part of Burgundy has several historical sites, stunning landscapes, lively local markets and of course, wine tasting opportunities all just a short drive away.

Outstanding Landscapes
There is much to see and do in this part of France. Within a 15-minute drive are the beautiful Flavigny-sur-Ouzerain, the Roman ruins at Alesia and its new visitor centre.
The Château of Bussy Rabutin, the source of the Seine river, great for picnics, and Venarey les Laumes for your everyday needs are all close by.
Within a 30-minute drive are Semur en Auxois, Montbard with its fabulous swimming pool complex, The Parc d'Auxois (zoo and adventure park) and the 13th Century world famous Abbaye de Fontenay.
Further a-field are historic Dijon, Beaune and Nigloland (theme park). Nearly every day of the week there are local markets, and no visit to Burgundy would be complete without a wine tasting.
The Region
Renowned throughout the world for its venerable wines, Burgundy is an essential destination for those who appreciate the finer aspects of the winemaker’s art. This is a region where you can visit some of the oldest and most prestigious vineyards in the world and taste wines that are regularly regarded as the best France has to offer (which is saying something). As one of the richest regions of France for hundreds of years, Burgundy also offers a wealth of history and culture as well as beautiful landscapes that offer the adventurous visitor plenty of stuff to do, even if it’s just a walk to admire the scenery.
