Burgundy-Franche-Comté, France
- 4 persons
- 2 bedrooms
- WiFi
- Swimming pool
- Pets allowed
A nature house in a very peaceful location on 1 hectare of private property on both sides of the Nohain River, featuring a large, biodiverse garden and a swimming pool. Equipped with modern amenities yet charming, simple, and slightly rustic. Wood-fired hot tub next to the pool. The nature house has two bathrooms: downstairs (the white/gray bathroom shown in the photo) with a toilet and shower, and upstairs (the pinkish bathroom shown in the photo) with a bathtub and bidet. Upstairs are two bedrooms: the first with a double bed, desk, and small cabinet; the second with two single beds and a closet. A second small farmhouse (with the lilac shutters) is part of the property; it’s currently still in a basic condition. It may be available for booking in the coming years (not rented out separately)! Elsewhere on the property: a beautiful river with a small dock and an arched bridge, and many large trees (poplars, willows, oaks, beeches, walnut, pear, apple, cherry, etc.). The lawn is mowed only sparingly in the spring—except for the paths—and is dotted with many wildflowers; the area across the river is left untended.
Nature and surroundings
A truly beautiful rural setting, with charming villages, hundreds of old churches, and delicious wine. It’s wonderful for hiking and biking. Some highlights include the villages of Sancerre and Pouilly, the Loire River, Saint-Amand-en-Puisaye (especially if you love ceramics), the croissants and pastries in Donzy (the nearest village, 9 km away, with a good Intermarché, bakery, cafés, a nut oil mill, and other shops), and the kingfishers and beavers along our own stretch of the river. And in the summer, the “vide-greniers” (flea markets) in the area (see brocabrac.fr). But we also love spending days in the garden reading a book, playing games, swimming, barbecuing, and admiring the plants :)

All in all, we had a wonderful week. Unfortunately, the start wasn’t so great: when we arrived, the pool was green and murky, and it didn’t become truly clear until four days later. Since the private pool was a major reason for our booking, that was disappointing. There were also a few minor issues with cleaning and maintenance. Fortunately, the landlord took these issues seriously, remained easy to reach, called in help, and offered appropriate compensation on his own initiative. Despite the rocky start, we can still look back on a wonderful vacation.
We hebben uiteindelijk een fijne week gehad. De start was helaas minder prettig: bij aankomst was het zwembad groen en troebel en pas vier dagen later echt helder. Omdat het privézwembad een belangrijke reden voor onze boeking was, was dat teleurstellend. Ook waren er enkele schoonmaak- en onderhoudspuntjes. De verhuurder heeft dit gelukkig serieus opgepakt, bleef goed bereikbaar, schakelde hulp in en bood uit eigen beweging een passende compensatie aan. Ondanks de lastige start kijken we daarom toch terug op een mooie vakantie.
A beautiful, peaceful place with plenty of privacy, a huge green garden, and plenty of space for our daughter and dog. The house and grounds have a lot of character and are wonderfully green and quiet.
Een prachtige, rustige plek met veel privacy, een enorme groene tuin en volop ruimte voor onze dochter en hond. Het huis en terrein hebben veel sfeer en is heerlijk groen en stil.

10 is perfect so surely a big nine anyway.
10 is perfect dus toch zeker een dikke negen.
wonderful and quiet. pity of the weather which was a bit disappointing but that is nature you can not regulate. beautiful pool to swim quietly. many trees to discover. plus at the end plot the NOHAIN river which is there to unwind. highly recommended for anyone looking for peace and quiet. so definitely book once.greetings
heerlijk en rustig. jammer van het weer die beetje tegen viel maar dat is de natuur die kan je niet regelen. mooie zwembad om rustig te zwemmen. veel bomen om te ontdekken. plus op einde perceel de NOHAIN rivier die daar is om lekker tot rust te komen. een aanrader voor iedereen die rust en kalmte zoek. dus zeker eens boeken.groetjes
