Description from owner
Description
Escape to our holiday rental home in lovely Semur-en-Auxois in the heart of the Burgundy countryside. Sip wine and sample local cheeses and boulangerie treats on our riverfront patio; retire to either of our two bedrooms (each with en-suite bathrooms) after a day of sightseeing and gastronomic delights.
Our two-bedroom, three-bathroom house is situated directly on the banks of the Armançon river, with spectacular views of the medieval town ramparts through the weeping willow trees that gracefully drape their boughs over the river's calm water.
Getting to the house is easy -- only an hour from Paris on the train (2.5-hour drive), or a 4h15m drive from the Le Havre ferry port. The house is the perfect base for exploration of the local countryside, from the vineyards of the Cote d'Or to the gorgeous wilderness of the Morvan nature park.
The bedrooms in the house can sleep four people, and the house can accommodate up to six people, if two use the sofa-bed in the salon. In that case, the sofa's end tables have drawers for storage, and the doorway to the salon can be closed off with thick curtains. For further details, see our floor plans in our photos and on our website, or contact us if you have questions.
PLEASE NOTE: We have an extensive website devoted to the house, with many photos, floor plans, testimonials, and a virtual tour of the property, as well as further descriptions of the region and an FAQ. Please feel free to click the website link in our contact details lower on this page, and if you enquire with us from our website, mention that you found us via Holiday Lettings. Thank you!
Further details
Due to the layout of the house and its proximity to the river, parents of young children sometimes decide the house is not suitable for their needs. For more information, please see our website or contact us for details.
The house was built hundreds of years ago, and it is unfortunately not wheelchair-accessible. We do have railings on the staircases inside and outside the house, but please contact us if you are unsure whether the house will be suitable for you.
Further details indoors
The house offers modern amenities including high-speed wireless internet, French and English satellite TV, a washer and dryer, and a fully-equipped kitchen including a dishwasher. Both of the bedrooms have en-suite shower rooms, and there is also a main bathroom with a large soaking bath. We have tried to furnish the house so that it is extremely comfortable and feels like a "home away from home." Come sit in our sunny salon and soak up the gorgeous views!
The upper bedroom has a UK king bed (American queen-size) and en-suite shower room (added in 2009), as well as a sitting area, a desk with high-speed internet access (wifi is available throughout the house), a walk-in closet, and a balcony with stunning views of the river and ramparts.
The lower bedroom has a flexible bedding arrangement, with your choice of either two single beds or one super-king (American king-size) bed. There is also a built-in armoire and an en-suite shower room. The lower bedroom has direct access to our riverfront patio: for more details, see our floor plans here or on our website.
The house itself is in a tranquil section of town, but is only a short walk (or a very short drive/bicycle trip) to the centre of town. Semur is a modern town with all the amenities you will need during your stay -- yet it retains its ancient roots and is full of friendly, welcoming people.
Further details outdoors
The town's medieval wall and the ramparts/towers from the old town castle are visible from the Salon, the riverfront patio, the balcony of the upper bedroom, and the upper meditation garden. The stone Pont des Minimes (medieval stone bridge), which gracefully spans the river not far from the house, is visible from the kitchen and upper bedroom.
Outside the lower bedroom there is a circular patio with a stone table and bench, shaded by the branches of a weeping willow that arches over the river. There is also a lower patio and an upper garden with plenty of space for soaking up the sun.
