A delightful, authentic 19th-century winegrower's house, typical of the area and carefully restored - with its own enclosed lawned and flower-filled garden, complete with garden furniture shaded by a plane tree - nestled on the edge of a quiet lane in the heart of a picturesque little Haut-Mâcon winegrowing village, just a stone's throw from the first vineyards and the great outdoors (to be discovered on relaxing walks, mountain bike rides or bicycle rides!) Built almost entirely on Gallo-Roman foundations, Chissey-lès-Mâcon has the rare distinction of being home to two elegant listed Romanesque churches dating from the 11th & 12th centuries, one of which stands opposite the gîte, nestled in the wooded foothills of the southern Burgundy massif in the heart of the Cluny countryside, on a plateau of bucolic meadows, hedged farmland & vineyard slopes, encircled by several wild forest massifs (vast state forests). Spacious, comfortable gîte. Charming country charm punctuated by contemporary touches, furnished in an atypical & warm wooded mountain spirit. A cosy, restful atmosphere, inspired by a "chalet cocoon", combined with the exotic character of an old house steeped in history.
