Gîte de la Combe Darroux

A literal haven of peace & relaxation, with a beautiful shared swimming pool (4x11m), nestled at the very southern tip of Burgundy in the very heart of the Chenas vineyards (AOC)! Authentic agricultural outbuilding steeped in history dating back to 1769 - now converted into an ultra-comfortable holiday home - quietly situated in the heart of the wine-growing countryside on a beautiful 5-hectare property, 3 km from the charming, typical market town of La Chapelle-de-Guinchey (numerous local amenities / rare village officially included in both the Beaujolais and Burgundy vineyards) & 16 km from Mâcon, the most southerly of Burgundy's cities. Peaceful little rural hamlet nestled on the edge of forest (partly private) & meadows, in a sublime undulating landscape, bucolic vineyards overlooking the Saône valley at the foot of a vast wild forest. Privileged location on the borders of the Mâconnais & Haut Beaujolais mountains, in the immediate vicinity of the famous "Val Lamartinien" & the sumptuous landscape gem of Solutré-Pouilly-Vergisson, awarded the "Grand Site de France" label, ideally situated on the "Burgundy Wine Route", several signposted "balades vertes" hiking trails connected to the GR76 (a very rich network of hiking trails winding between vineyards & nature, to be discovered in the surrounding area), a signposted mountain bike circuit (connected to a vast "espace VTT" covering the massif), 12 km from the "voie verte" & a 17 km cycling itinerary listed as a "boucle vélo coup de cœur", and very close to the Romanesque church circuit. A prime location nestled at the crossroads of the Rhône & Ain départements, at the crossroads of the Mâconnais, Beaujolais, Clunisois-Tournugeois (labelled "Pays d'art et d'Histoire") & Bresse (Burgundy & Ain) regions, all rich in grandiose landscapes, exceptional heritage and world-renowned gastronomy.
