This is our third time to Beaune and we’ve stayed on this street each time in a beautifully renovated stone home. The neighborhood is the perfect spot because it’s right in between the town and the gorgeous Parc de la Bousaize. With kids, it’s a short stroller ride in either direction. Parc Bousaize had a carousel, playground, water features, row boats and is right against a premier cru vineyard!
This property is very special and was the perfect home for our family for a week. It is three stories and while you have to walk upstairs for bed and bathrooms, the stairs are well designed and not too steep. My three year old navigated them solo and held on to the railing or wall. Check in was so easy with a lock box.
The master suite is wonderful- bigger than expected- and the stand-alone tub is fantastic. The kids adored bathtime and I loved soaking after a long day of sightseeing.
Given the current heat wave, the highlight was the air conditioning in each bedroom and in the common room (living room/kitchen). I cannot stress how grateful we were for this, and how well we all slept as a result. These units are built in high into the wall, not portable window units like some rentals have when they list AC as an amenity.
Another nice feature is that the upstairs bedrooms have tiny windows with a black out shade so my kids slept really well.
The kitchen table is huge and the place was well stocked for cooking in.
The beds were firm and SO comfortable. The linen and towels felt high end. You can tell that the owner actually stays here because it’s furnished so nicely and features interesting art, decor, and especially lighting.
A large TV provides Netflix access which was great for the kids.
The only thing possibly missing would be an outdoor sitting area/patio, but it was so hot that I’m not sure we would have used it anyway. Plus the park and vines are literally down the street. We took a wine and walked out to the vines on our last night as the sun set and it was spectacular. I would be lucky to return to this house!
Final piece of advice- I noticed that there was an offer to have the house manager arrange a meal for our arrival. Someone signed the guest book saying it was great. I wish I had arranged that, because we drove straight from CDG to Beaune on a Sunday. It would have been so nice to enjoy a meal instead of rest stop snacks. We met the manager when we asked for assistance with the TV and she seemed so nice, so go for it!
