Excellent Property in a beautiful region of France
Five 60ish cycling fans visiting for the Tour De France. Excellent property in a beautiful area especially if you are interested in cycling / hiking. Only down side is the opening days and times of local restaurants which caught us out a bit but the house is very well equipped and as we are all keen cooks then this wasn't a problem for us but may be for some. Not that much to do for kids. All in all an excellent trip and I would highly recommend the property for a similar group of people.

Thank you for your good reviews. On the other hand, I don't understand your comments about restaurants and activities for young people. Burgundy is one of the oldest tourist and gastronomic regions in France.
Our one-night stay at this cottage was just what we needed for our journey back to the Netherlands. We were warmly welcomed and given clear instructions upon arrival. The house was impeccably clean, and the owner was incredibly friendly. The beds were wonderfully comfortable, and thanks to the roll-down shutters, the room was beautifully dark, making for a peaceful night's sleep.
Although we didn't have much time to explore the surroundings, the location seemed fantastic. Even with our limited view, we could tell that the setting was something special.
All in all, our short stay here was a delightful experience. From the warm reception to the comfortable amenities and the serene atmosphere, this cottage provided the perfect resting spot for our journey. We're grateful for the hospitality and would definitely consider returning for a longer visit in the future.

Madam,
Sir,
Thank you for the time and care you have taken with these reviews. All the details you have noted show your interest and satisfaction.
I was very happy to meet you. You are very pleasant and impeccable hosts. We look forward to welcoming you again to discover the riches of Burgundy.
This would be fantastic for a family vacation or group of friends where you bring your own linen and do a proper end of visit. However, when a property has a dishwasher I'd expect it to be good when the machine is loaded and not wrongly started. Also I'd expect to find some handsoap at the washbasins. And if smokedetectors are on the list of material said to be in place I'd expect to see them. Heating at 16.5 C might be the usual in the region, but not for visitors from Nordic Countries where 20-21 is more of the norm. Lack of cellphone coverage is good to know about, even if there is WiFi included which worked well. This property showed up with filtering on Electric Care Charging, however none was present on the property - nor on the description of the property online so it seems the Filtering worked wrongly. Clair was an explicit host leaving nothing unclear. Read the description in detail, there will be nothing outside it available and it's monitored to the letter. This said it's a nice house, the bed was nice, we managed to stay warm and the kitchen and WiFi worked well.
Notre hôte était agréable mais le principe un peu oppressant. La maison top, très bien équipée et agréable. Seul bémol une des douche à l'étage n'avait pas de pression et était froide par moment certainement quand une autre personne prend sa douche en même temps. Sinon rien a redire.
Wunderbare, moderne und gut ausgestattete Ferienunterkunft mit großzügigem, eingezäunten Außenbereich (inklusive Lounge und zwei Picknick-Tischen). Die Unterkunft war außerordentlich sauber und hygienisch. Die Gastgeberin war sympathisch, sehr aufmerksam, rücksichtsvoll und bei Fragen gut erreichbar und dabei aber sehr diskret und keineswegs aufdringlich. Für Reisende mit Kleinkindern könnte die offene Treppe zwischen Erdgeschoss und erstem Stock erwähnenswert sein. Es gibt zwar ein Geländer und ein Absperrgitter im oberen Bereich, aber Kinder unter 3 jahren sollten dennoch immer beaufsichtigt werden (ebenso im Außenbereich - die Gastgeberin informiert aber ausführlich über mögliche Gefährdungen). In der Umgebung hat man tolle Ausflugsmöglichkeiten (Badeseen, Châteaux de Commarin et Châteauneuf, Fahrt mit der Dampflokomotive und Bootsfahrt auf dem Canal de Bourgogne in Pouilly, Dijon, Beaune, Alésia, Flavigny, ...).Es war ein toller Urlaub und wir kommen gerne wieder! Absolute Empfehlung!

Merci du compliment, la réussite de votre séjour était également dû à la qualité des hôtes accueilli. C'était un réel plaisir de vous recevoir et de faire votre connaissance.
Nous avons adoré notre séjour en famille dans la maison de Claire. Le cadre est idyllique et reposant. La maison est bien située, à 1/2h maximum des grands sites de Bourgogne : Dijon, Hospices de Beaune… Nous avons donc pu facilement visiter la région sans passer des heures sur la route.
Mais les environs directs sont aussi à voir. Pour le plaisir simple de respirer l’air de la campagne et admirer des paysages préservés. Belles couleurs d’automne !
La maison de Claire est très agréable avec sa grande baie vitrée qui donne sur le jardin. Et parfaite pour se retrouver en famille et cuisiner des bons petits plats.
Confort +++ et calme absolu.
Nous reviendrons avec plaisir.

Quel bonheur de pouvoir contribuer à ces belles réunions familiales.
C'était un réel plaisir de vous accueillir. Vous êtes une famille absolument adorable.
Merci, merci pour ces belles appréciations.
A bientôt, il y a tant de chose à faire et à voir.
Lors de ce séjour, nous étions 4 adultes pour faire du VTT dans cette belle région de Bourgogne.
Le gite est vraiment bien place pour ce genre d'activité, comme la marche, VTT ou visite de caves ou farniente.
Concernant la propriétaire, c'est une personne charmante, qui est toujours à l'écoute de ces locataires.
Le logement est aménagé et décoré avec beaucoup de gout. Il est propre, au calme et grâce à une grande baie vitrée très lumineux.
Le jardin est également accessible en toute liberté.
Nous conseillons cet endroit

Quelles gentilles appréciations. Je suis très heureuse que votre séjour vous ai plu. Vous avez été d'une grande courtoisie et adorables. Il reste encore beaucoup de jolies vallées, lacs et canaux à explorer. Alors au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau.
Sehr schönes Ferienhaus in abwechslungsreicher Umgebung
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt im Maison Althaus sehr genossen. Die Lage war für uns perfekt für Ausflüge mit dem E-Bike und für kurze Wandertouren. Es gibt viele kleine und größere Sehenswürdigkeiten ganz in der Nähe (erreichbar mit dem Fahhrad) und in bis zu 1 h Entfernung mit dem Auto. Das Haus ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und angenehm sauber. Wir durften den Garten benutzen und Claire hat uns mit selbst geerntetem Obst verwöhnt.
