We loved the property. Although itâs old in a goed way, it was also very clean. We loved the outdoor areas too. You do have to drive a bit to buy your bread but itâs worth it. Details we loved: there was a bottle of good white wine offered to us, if we had a question, like âwhere can we buy some good wineâ, we got their personal list of vineyards and when we ware all admiring the water wheel, the owner took the effort of removing the top cover so we could enjoy the wheel turning. Lovely people! Also, there was firewood waiting in the fireplace, ready to go and there was charcoal available for the bbq. We hope to visit again.
although we only stayed for 2 nights, the moulin is a beautiful place to enjoy the calmness and beauty of the French countryside. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms are as advertised. ideal for a big group of adults. Patricia was very attentive and helped us in any way necessary. Wish we could have stayed for longer.
We were all buzzing around with excitement at this property when we arrived. The kids thought it was incredible! It's such an old building, full of history and not spoiled in its renovation, it was still so characterful. The kids loved that we restricted the flow of the water at night to quieten it down, and then released it every morning - we got lucky as the water wheel does not always turn but we got some movement out of it!
The house is rustic, and not full of mod-cons, but it had pretty much everything we needed. The outside eating area was lovely for bbqs, and the garden lovely and big for games.
The house has a lovely mezzanine library level at the top that the kids enjoyed relaxing in.
We really enjoyed visiting Guedelon, a castle that is being built from scratch in medieval style, using only crafts and skills from that period in history, it was truly a fabulous day out.
Lovely villages to visit in the area are Vezelay, a very pretty and ancient village up on a hilltop, and we also loved Druyes-les-Belles-Fontaines with its castle overlooking the village with the river and waterways routed all through the streets. So pretty.
It's a drive to a shop or Patisserie from the house and unfortunately the patisserie was shut for the week we were there, but the supermarket in Varzy had everything we needed. We also visited Clemecy a couple of times to explore the shops and old buildings, and watch the boats going through the canal locks.
Thank you for a wonderful week.
Wir haben mit insgesamt 10 Leuten in der wunderschönen MĂŒhle ĂŒbernachtet. Das Hauptziel war Guedelon. Aber wenn man 1 Stunde Fahrtzeit in Kauf nimmt, kann man viele historische StĂ€dte besichtigen.
Die Zimmer der MĂŒhle waren liebevoll eingerichtet. Das Wohnzimmer ist mit einem Kamin ausgestattet. Der Garten war groĂ und mit einer schönen Sitzgruppe ausgestattet. Diese MĂŒhle hat Charme und alles, was man braucht. Der einzige winzige Mangel sind die eher beiden kleinen Toiletten.
Die Vermieterin war super nett und die Kommunikation mit Ăbersetzer gar kein Problem und reibungslos. Vielen Dank dafĂŒr.
Wir waren mit unseren Kindern (alle 20+) fĂŒr zwei Wochen in dieser schönen MĂŒhle. Wir alle fĂŒhlten uns wĂ€hrend der gesamten Urlaubszeit sehr wohl. Es ist der ideale Ort fĂŒr eine friedliche Entschleunigung.
Hebergement exceptionnel pour faire du tourisme dans les environ (Guedelon, Vezelay Saint Sauveur en Puisaye (maison de Colette) oĂč toute la famille s' y est sentie bien !
