Le Vieux Château

An authentic 14th-century priory steeped in history (once an annex of the Tournus Abbey), carefully restored and nestled in the quiet countryside on a beautiful property comprising several buildings (perfectly restored) built in a "star" pattern around a historic courtyard. Perched on a hillside, this elegant, characterful medieval château nestles in the very heart of the vineyards, overlooking the Arlois valley (the only one in Burgundy whose unique geology produces the white, rosé and red wines of both southern Burgundy and northern Beaujolais) & the picturesque village of Leynes. Just a stone's throw away, this perfectly preserved village, nestled like an amphitheater in a sumptuous valley of vines, at the foot of a vast wild forest, enjoys a sublime landscape (on a clear day, you can see the Alps all the way to Mont Blanc from the top of the village). Spacious, comfortable gîte. Warm country charm with contemporary accents, sublimated by the totally exotic soul of the place. Lots of charm. Cosy & cozy. Pleasant "offset" garden (swing-tobogan & badminton net) featuring a "double terrace" (exposed gravel & sheltered) adjoining a meadow where the owners' peaceful donkeys graze (complemented by a sheltered gravel terrace at the foot of the gîte). Magnificent panorama & scenery.
