A great property with a nice garden to relax in. Charlotte is a lovely, helpful host who was on hand to assist and answer questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Volnay!
House is beautiful. Host is helpful and kind. Wine cellar is right next door for you to enjoy a beautiful tasting.
Wifi is slow and unreliable. However, you should be visiting here to disconnect, not to work.
Please excuse me writing in English!
What a beautiful place to stay. The gite is itself is a handsome building, pleasantly decorated, with everything you need for a self-catering stay. It's quite large, with a charming garden in which to relax, and with a lovely vineyard view from one of the bedrooms!
Volnay is a beautiful, tranquil village, and the gite is in the heart of it - perfect for those looking for a quiet retreat in a beautiful region of France, and as a base for wine lovers (as I did with a friend of mine)!
Charlotte and her family were very helpful - nothing was too much trouble - and we enjoyed a wonderful wine tasting with Charlotte's husband.
Very highly recommended.
Our family of four had the pleasure of staying in Charlotte's lovely gite set amid the vines in the charming village of Volnay. Everything about the home was first rate, including the comfy beds. I think we most enjoyed having our breakfast and dinner each night on the lovely terrace just outside our front door. From there we could hear the doves cooing, the church bell tolling melodiously, and the cicadas and other creatures making their pleasant sounds. It was restful and serene. The location is terrific for exploring wine country, and is within easy distance of Beaune for shopping and dining. We would definitely stay at Charlotte's house again if we have the fortune of returning to Burgandy. She was so friendly and helpful, and speaks lovely English.
We really enjoyed our stay in Volnay. Charlotte is a wonderful host - she even went to the trouble of meeting me at a local pharmacy to help me out when I had a minor emergency (thanks again, Charlotte!) - and is readily available with travel advice for those who request it. We were traveling with two small children and this place is great for kids. There are toys and books in the top floor tv room (which could easily serve as a fourth bedroom if needed - it has a separate door to the hallway). The garden is very nice, and quite private. Volnay is a great location for exploring the area. A bike/walking path runs through the village; Pommard is only a 5-7 minutes or so walk away, and there are restaurants and a bakery there. (Volnay is smaller, with no real shopping - though there are one or two restaurants.) Beaune is a short drive, and it is possible to walk there (or easily bike) - it took us a little over an hour to walk using the bike paths through the vineyards. Very relaxing place!
Leuk vakantie huisje , inventaris prima , netjes . Vriendelijke ontvangst.
Wij waren er tijdens een hittegolf. Huisje en tuin niet bepaald hitteproef. Temperatuur op slaapkamers erg hoog ondanks dichthouden van ramen en luiken overdag en s nachts ventileren. Tuin is ingebouwd en veel steen/kiezels waardoor het snel opwarmt.
Tweede verdieping en wc beneden niet geschikt voor lange mensen.
Tres bonne vacances avec de nombreux sujets de distractions (velo, baignade, tennis etc..) et region culturellement et gastronomiquement tres riche. Gite agreable et tres bien situe. Petit bemol :au 2 eme etage par temps tres chaud, mettre une clim ou refaire l isolation.
Pour les chambres du 1er pas besoin de clim.
Wir (Ehepaar mit zwei 18jĂ€hrigen Teenagern) haben im Oktober eine Woche im Haus von Charlotte verbringen dĂŒrfen. Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Das Haus ist genĂŒgend gross fĂŒr 5 bis 6 Personen und schlicht aber wohnlich ausgestattet. Es ist fast alles vorhanden, was man fĂŒr den Aufenthalt braucht (das Equipment, was uns persönlich zum Kochen fehlte, haben wir gekauft und im Haus gelassen :-)) HandtĂŒcher stehen ausreichend zur VerfĂŒgung und die Betten waren frisch bezogen. Der Check-In war problemlos, die SchlĂŒsselĂŒbergabe lief sozusagen kontaktlos. Charlotte kam im Laufe des Tages sogar noch zu uns um uns herzlich zu begrĂŒssen, was uns sehr gefreut hat, sie persönlich kennen zu lernen. Am Abend unserer Ankunft durften wir dann sogar schon zur Weinprobe im angrenzenden Weingut. Was fĂŒr wunderbare Weine, von denen wir einigen mit nach Hause nahmen.
Wir haben uns in der Woche sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt. Volnay ist erstens ein hĂŒbsches Dorf und zweitens ein hervorragender Ausgangspunkt fĂŒr AusflĂŒge in die Umgebung (Beaune, Dijon und die anderen Weinorte) und man ist ebenfalls sofort in der Natur fĂŒr ausgedehnte SpaziergĂ€nge und sonstige AktivitĂ€ten. Wir kommen gern wieder, vor allem im goldenen Oktober.
We had a lovely break in this house in Volnay. Whilst there are no shops in Volnay itself, the location in amongst vineyards is beautiful and it is only about 15min walk to Pommard, where there is a good boulangerie and some nice restaurants. Mersault is also close by and is a great little village with more shops including a small supermarket and a lovely bar 'The Place'. Beaune is also close by for bigger supermarkets as well as being a great town to explore.
The house is comfortable with lovely outdoor space. Good wifi, too and a lovely bottle of wine left by Charlotte from their own vineyards, which was a nice treat. We had a great wine tasting experience with Charlotte's mother in law, which was really informative and interesting.
There were six of us staying most of the time - mostly adults - and although it can fit 8 people in, I think that would be a bit of a squeeze! However it suited our needs well and we were grateful for the break.
We really enjoyed our stay in Volnay. Charlotte was a very gracious host. She provided us with a bottle of their outstanding wine upon our arrival and during our stay her husband gave us a tour of their wine cellars and we tasted their wines. The accommodations had everything we needed and Volnay is a very nice little village. There are no shops and only two restaurants but Pommard is a short walk away for shops and Beaune is a short drive and has everything you need. We had a great time exploring Burgundy and Volnay was a perfect spot to come back to each night. Highly recommend.
