About the Holiday Home

The swimming pool, seen from the rose terrace

Le Moulinot is an 18th century stone Burgundian watermill, which was renovated to offer comfortable accommodation for up to 12 guests in six ensuite bedrooms. The three-storey stone building has lots of character, with exposed wooden ceiling beams, hardwood floors, and antique furniture and tiles. Le Moulinot is set in seven acres (three hectares) of private grounds, bordered by its own lake-like millpond and the River Cure. The solar heated swimming pool is sunk into the ground, adjacent to and level with the millpond. Next to the pool, tables and chairs and a barbecue provide an ideal spot for dining outdoors. The house is surrounded by terraced areas, with plenty of space to relax in sun or shade.

The living/dining room with fireplace

On the ground floor, the living room overlooks the millpond. Sofas and armchairs surround the fireplace, and there is a TV, stereo, and DVD player for relaxing. An antique Jacobean dining table seats twelve guests comfortably. The large kitchen has an electric oven, gas burners, and a dishwasher, and has all the equipment and features needed to explore Burgundian cuisine. Also on the ground floor is a laundry room with a washing machine and dryer, and an additional wc.

The master bedroom with a stunning view over the millpond

On the middle floor, the master bedroom has a king (160x200) bed, a sitting area, and an ensuite bathroom with a bathtub. A suite has a double bed (140x190), an adjoining room with a sitting area, and an ensuite shower room. On the top floor there are four smaller bedrooms: One with a king bed and a shower room, one with a double bed and a bathroom with bathtub, one with a double bed and shower room and one with two twin beds and a shower room.

The owner's house and another smaller cottage are also on the property, and the swimming pool is shared by all. Due to the surrounding water, the owners do not encourage children who are not strong swimmers.

Special features:	• Pool on the property • Bilingual assistance available on site • Maid, Cook and Driver can be arranged on request
Swimming pool:	10m x 8m solar heated pool adjacent to the millpond

About the Region

Ballooning over Vézelay

Situated at the entrance to the village of Vermenton, Le Moulinot is an excellent base from which to explore the region of the “trois vallées” extending from Chablis to Vézelay. Northern Burgundy is a land of hills covered with forests and pastures, and narrow valleys with swiftly flowing rivers. The region is sprinkled with cultural and historical treasures: Arcy and its prehistoric caves; the bustling cathedral town of Auxerre with its elegant half-timbered houses; Vézelay, a World Heritage Site where emperors, kings, popes, pilgrims and crusaders gathered; Avallon with its ramparts and Romanesque church; and the Morvan National Park. At the site of Guédelon, a fortified castle is being built using the techniques of the 13th century.

The nearby slopes of Chablis, Irancy and Saint Bris have been the site of vineyards since Roman times. Wine tasting opportunities are plentiful, and a guided tour can be arranged to introduce visitors to the lesser-known gems.
