Absolute calm, magnificent green setting & sumptuous panorama 6.5 km from the illustrious abbey town of Cluny, "the spiritual heart of medieval Europe", awarded the rare and prestigious "European Heritage" label (all amenities on site). Comfortable contemporary-style gîte nestled in an authentic & elegant 16th-century Burgundy longère - steeped in history & carefully restored to the highest standards - set in 1 ha of pleasant wooded parkland. Superb country & natural setting overlooking the bucolic Grosne valley in the wooded foothills of the South Burgundy Massif, in the heart of the Mâconnais vineyards & a preserved area classified as a "Natura 2000" zone for its remarkable ecosystem. An ultra-privileged location in the rolling Cluny countryside, on the route of the Romanesque church circuit, the GR76 (Saint-Jacques de Compostelle connected to the historic "Chemin des Moines"), the renowned GMT mountain bike itinerary (Grand Tour du Massif sud Bourgogne), a signposted "balade verte" hiking trail (many other trails of the same type to discover in the vicinity), 3 km from the voie verte & a "coup de cœur" referenced 27 km cycling loop, very close to the wine route (first vineyards 1.5 km).

Sophie & Thierry (amateur painters whose works you can admire in the gîte or visit their studio on site) welcome you to an authentic & charming early 16th-century Burgundy longère steeped in history (a former farming estate once linked to the Abbey of Cluny and most likely to the nearby medieval château of Boutavent), carefully restored with taste and craftsmanship. In the heart of a magnificent, totally restful and enchanting landscaped setting, nestled on the edge of meadows and forests, in a bucolic little valley nestling "on the balcony" on the hillside - backed by a well-exposed south-western slope - in the wooded foothills of the southern Burgundy massif (the northernmost link in the Monts du Mâconnais, offering magnificent nature walks, on foot or mountain bike, and splendid views as far as Mont Blanc on a clear day). Superb, unspoilt setting in the heart of the rolling Cluny countryside, just a stone's throw from a peaceful, charming, typical rural hamlet. Breathtaking views of Cluny & the verdant Grosne valley.
