Hi, I'm Andrew and together with my wife Marcelline, we manage rental properties for friends and clients in Burgundy. We live just a few kilometres from the property so will be on hand should you require anything. Our contact details can be found in the house guide or simply message us through the Airbnb App.

***NEW LISTING*** Part of a former wine producing farm built over 300 years ago, Le Petit Chaudenas features a beautiful, large swimming pool and is set in over 5 Hectares of private garden and woodlands. The house boasts a stunning Master Bedroom set amongst the original beams of the roof as well as a Twin Bedroom; both featuring ensuite bathrooms. A double sofa bed is available in the cosy sitting room making the property suitable for up to 6 guests. Outside, under the shade of a large tree is a decking area with dining table. From here, steps lead down to the pool with ample terrace space for chilling out on the sun loungers or sheltering from the sun on the sofas under the bamboo roofed Gazebo. Stretching away from the Dining area is the main mowed area of garden, with the beautiful pond to the side fed by a stream coming off the hills beyond. Continuing into the distance, the property sits in 5 hectares of fields and woodland, perfect for a stroll or spotting some of the wildlife that occasionally visit. Access to Le Petit Chaudenas is via the magnificent, wisteria clad gate at the front of the property. During stays, the large house (Le Grand Chaudenas) will remain unoccupied so guests at Le Petit Chaudenas will have exclusive use of the entire grounds and pool as well as full use of the front of the house to park on the driveway and make use of the car port or play some Ping Pong. Guests must be aware that the property is set in 5 hectares of land and contains both a swimming pool and a pond. Children are accepted at the Property under the strict and sole responsibility of the Client and should be supervised at all times. The pool is available from May until the end of September and is heated by a bubble cover. In the summer months this is normally sufficient but if guests choose, the pool can also be heated by a heat pump for an extra cost. Simply let us know a week before arrival if you wish to pay for the additional heating.

Le Petit Chaudenas is located in the tiny hamlet of Toury in the Mâconnais region with its famous Appellations Villages: Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran, Viré-Clessé, the area is ideal for wine tasting as well as being only 10 mins drive from Cormatin, the community of Taizé and the historical town of Cluny. Famed for its Abbey of great historical significance, Cluny is also now famous as a centre of equestrianism. There are show jumping and racing events throughout the year and one can visit the stables of Cluny, Le Haras National Cluny (Napoleon's stables).  There are also many bars and restaurants and a vibrant market every Saturday morning. In the other direction, Cormatin also boasts several bars and restaurants but is most famous for the lavish Château de Cormatin. Built by the Marquises of Huxelles at the beginning of the 17th Century as a symbol of their power and prestige, it is still just as glorious and an essential visit. Both Cluny and Cormatin sit on the Voie Verte, a fully tarmacked cycle path stretching from Chalon to Macon that can be accessed at Massilly, just 3km away from Le Petit Chaudenas. For those wishing to take it slow, there are excellent markets in nearby St Gengoux, Cluny and Tournus and a wealth of exceptional restaurants, vineyards and chateaux to visit. The more energetic can also enjoy rock climbing at Culles les Roches, lake swimming, kayaking, golf at the excellent Golf Macon La Salle or swinging through the trees at Acrogivry.
