PREVIOUS GUESTS WROTE.....: For Jane & myself this is our second visit to Tivauche. We believe it is a most beautiful gite in one of the most lovely areas of France. Jane & Alec, California. - We could not have asked for a more beautiful place to stay! All of our day trips have been great - Vezelay was our favourite, but the best part of our trip has been coming 'home' to this amazing gite, sitting outside with a glass of wine, enjoying the beautiful view. Scott & Christine, Georgia. - One of our best holidays ever. We could easily have stayed longer; there is so much to see. Andrew & Susanne, Surrey. - We have rented many gites across France, this being our first visit to Burgundy. Never have we experienced this excellent recipe of luxury, cleanliness and warmth to such an extent. Congratulations to you both. We hope to see you again. Heather & Peter, Devon.

Idealer Ausgangspunkt, um die Kirchen in Burgund zu besichtigen
Das Objekt ist tatsächlich so wie es beschrieben bzw fotografiert worden ist. Die Heizung fuktioniert! Bill und Jo sprechen englisch, so dass wir uns leicht verständigen konnten. Sie haben uns wertvolle Tipps gegeben. Von der Terrasse/Wohnzimmer hat man einen freien Blick auf das Land. In dem kleinen Dorf gibt es mehrere Hühner und Hähne. Zum Haus gehören drei Schafe und eine Ziege. Wir haben die Kirchen in Avallon, Fontenay, Autun, Montreal, Auxerre, Dijon, Beaune und Vezelay vom Haus aus besichtigt. Man fährt ca. 25 Minuten bis zur Autobahn. Auf der Rückreise haben wir Sens, Troyes und Reims besichtigt.

Fabulous place in the French countryside
Jenny and Bill really know what they are doing! They have thought of everything to make visitors' stays pleasant and welcome. The place is beautifully set up, with the best equiped kitchen! I mean really! They even have petanque boules to play out front. They provide a comprehensive set of house instructions, and there are lots of brochures and information about the Burgundy region in the house. The back garden is lovely, with a nice covered patio and table for dining al fresco. High recommended!

About the host

Hosted by Bill & Jenny

Host profile image
Bill has always worked in tourism primarily operating hotel barges and organizing tours in the Burgundy region of France. Jenny, a Prue Leith trained chef, left her London catering business for a two week holiday in Burgundy and never returned!
Both Bill and Jenny intended to move on from Burgundy, but with the addition of dogs and children and the realisation that they already lived in one of the most beautiful parts of Europe, why change a thing?

Why they chose this property

For seven years we lived a 10 minute walk away from this property. The last two of these years were spent scouring the region looking for an interesting place to buy and renovate - it was a satisfying discovery when this search finally brought us to the perfect farmhouse on our doorstep!

What makes this property unique

We often say, 'there's magic in the air in Tivauche'!
The locals love it here and visitors keep coming back time after time - naturally we do everything we can to make your stay comfortable, but we cannot take all of the credit for people's attachment to Tivauche-le-Haut.
The view from the terrace looking towards the Morvan park is wonderful. At night the same terrace makes a perfect star gazing platform as there's no light pollution.
With our rural location, we sometimes feel wonderfully 'lost in France', and yet day trips to Paris are possible as it's only one hour by TGV train + 15 minutes to Montbard station.
Tours can be arranged for wine tasting, biking, walking, bird watching, ballooning and world war two resistance sites
Massage, yoga and pilates are also available.
Breakfast baskets, lunches, dinners and picnics are available.
