About this property

COSY GITE IN MEDIEVAL VILLAGE near AVALLON

Set on the outskirts of a beautiful medieval village and attached to the end of our long farmhouse is our cosy gite with a wood burning stove. Downstairs you'll find a large spacious living room and kitchen, boasting beautiful flagstone floors, exposed wooden beams and an enticing winding stone staircase that leads to the first floor bedroom.
Upstairs is a large bedroom with a queen size bed and two single beds. There is a cosy ensuite bathroom under the eaves, with a shower.

I offer home cooked evening meals. My speciality is plant based food, and with one day's notice, evening meals can be prepared and delivered to you.

The gite is quiet with double glazed windows and there is a small front garden for you to sit out during warmer months. Rural life is animated with tractors passing.. We love this but please bear it in mind if you are looking for total peace and quiet!!
We are a family of five and there's lots of life in the house so it's possible you might hear us from time to time even thought the gite is fully insulated!
I accept animals and have a cat and a dog of my own, however i do have house rules regarding pets; Animals should not be left alone in the house whilst guests are out. Animals are not allowed on ANY furniture including beds and sofas- please bring their own bed. The garden must be left clean on departure and any damage to the house caused by animals will be charged for.

The area is packed with things to do and visit; Chablis for some wine tasting, Beaune or Dijon for city culture or shopping, the Morvan Natural Park with lakes, beaches, water sports and plenty of walks, sightseeing in Vezelay, the canal of Bourgogne, Gastronomic restaurants like Bernard Loiseau in Saulieu, and locals towns; Avallon with it's market twice a week, Auxerre, Semur en Auxois, Noyers sur Serein. And if you dont' want to travel too much, the surrounding area of Montréal has many lovely walks and the countryside is beautiful. Montréal itself has a bar and restaurant serving lunchtime meals, a post office, a small grocery store and exhibition room, and a nocturnal market every wednesday from April to October.

uitstekend ingerichte huiselijke comfortabele gite
Zoals de foto's zijn, zo is de gites. Huiselijk, comfortabel, knus van alle gemakken voorzien. Het ligt op een uitstekend punt om de omgeving rondom Montreal te verkennen. Fietsen, wandelen en zwemmen, steden bezoeken en heerlijk eten. Winkels in Avallon. Ook daar oplaadpunt voor electrische auto. De verhuurster kan heerlijk koken :) en is zeer vriendelijk en betrokken! De voortuin is niet groot, wel groot genoeg om heerlijk te zitten. Het ligt wel aan een wat drukke weg :(. We hebben ons er heerlijk thuis gevoeld.

About the host

Hosted by Naomi Cawthorne

Host profile image
I'm English and live with my four children in Montréal. I've been in France since 2000. My profession is catering and teaching cookery, specialising in plant based food. I'm also a violinist and sports fanatic!

Why they chose this property

This property was perfect for me as I loved the village and the people of Montréal. Village life is animated and the village is steeped in history. The surrounding countryside is beautiful and great for walks all year round.

What makes this property unique

The house is just 10 minutes from Avallon which is a small but bustling market town with a great market every thursday and saturday morning. We are also close to the Le Parc Naturel du Morvan, with four lakes and beaches which are perfect for the summer months.
