Chateau Des Siecles

The villa

For an unforgettable group holiday in one of the most coveted regions of France, look no further than this remarkable 19th century chateau in Burgundy. Situated high above the French countryside, the historic home provides unobstructed panoramic views from nearly every vantage point. Encompassing a central courtyard and enclosed by ancient fortified walls, the hamlet consists of 13 thoughtfully designed bedrooms dispersed throughout the Main House, the Commons, The Caves, and the Pavilions. Two medieval vaulted caves have been converted into spacious suites, with monumental fireplaces and period furnishings. The 19th century main house sits atop the caves, with six bedrooms and numerous terraces to soak up the abundant scenery. The Commons holds three bedrooms plus a kids’ room within two 17th century buildings, while the Pavilions contain two light - filled studios with kitchens. All accommodation and common spaces are beautifully designed and warmly inviting, with comfortable furnishings, an open - plan floor space and traditional charm. Guests will enjoy access to spectacular pool, gardens, bikes, indoor games, and a cinema/conference room. There’s lots to do nearby, including wineries within a 25 - minute drive, medieval towns to explore, and a bike bath that runs along the Canal Nivernais, just to name a few.

The Chateau is located in northern Burgundy, about a two hour drive south east of Paris, in a beautifully bucolic region of farmland and meandering waterways.  The small rural village in which it's located has a local bar and grocery store where you can buy freshly baked baguettes and croissants each morning. 

Activities include biking (along the bike path that runs most of the length of the Canal Nivernais or along  back country roads through farmland and forest), boating, rock climbing, hot air ballooning and tennis.

The medieval hill - town of Vezelay is within a twenty minute drive from the Chateau. The twelfth century basilica of Mary Magdalene crowning its hilltop contains some of the finest examples of early Romanesque sculpture.

The Chablis, Irancy and St. Bris vineyards are within a twenty minute drive from the Chateau. The Meursault and Montrachet vineyards are just over an hours’ drive south. Wine tours to the many vineyards in the area can be arranged.
