Maison Du Doubs

The villa

This manor in Burgundy offers a riverside country escape filled with elegance and polish. The property features seven bedrooms in total, six located in the main house, and one in the annexe. From the moment you park in the formal drive, you’re in a world apart. Children will be in heaven here - playing freely in the large gardens on the swing set, or beneath the 100 year old walnut tree. Inside there are games, table tennis and table football to keep them entertained on rainy days, and there’s even a nursery for the baby.

The decor is richly textured, and calming neutral in colour. Relaxation is simple, with a fitness room, sauna and steam room at hand. You may spend your days beside the swimming pool on the well - appointed terrace beside it, or down by the Doubs River, fishing for dinner.

This holiday manor is equipped with bikes and it’s a short ride into the village of Verdun - sur - le - Doubs, where you’ll find all the shops you’ll need. All that’s needed for a stellar holiday is an open bottle of Burgundy wine - and you are absolutely in luck. Take a quick 30 minute drive to Beaune for a cluster of beautiful vineyards, then return!

Note: maximum capacity is 15 guests (14 adults + 1 child/teenager/baby)

The house sits in a peaceful village of 80 inhabitants along the river Doubs. The nearest small town of Verdun - sur - le - Doubs is 6km away with all facilities (shops, supermarket, banks etc) and it is possible to pick up a fishing permit here.
