Château de Villette

Chateau de Villette is a beautiful, luxurious and welcoming bed and breakfast with wonderful hosts.|Catherine and Coen have created a fabulous retreat that is perfect for couples and families with grown up children. The suite we stayed in (Chambolle Musigny) had two very large bedrooms, immaculately appointed and combining antique furniture with calming French flair. The suite has extremely comfortable king-side beds (dressed in The White Company linen), with floor to ceiling windows that open onto a dreamy view of the gorgeous gardens and the Burgundian countryside beyond.|All of our rooms were beautifully cleaned and I loved the extra touches such as a coffee machine, tea pots and choice of tea, as well as plenty of bottled water and fresh flowers.|The only sounds that you hear are the soothing water fountain, bird song or the occasional call of one of the resident peacocks. There is a well-stocked honesty bar in the grand, but cosy drawing room.|Catherine and Coen are extremely attentive hosts, who are justifiably proud of the home and business they have created. This morning our delicious breakfast (including home made jams, freshly squeezed orange juice and fresh fruit salad with a selection of yoghurts, pastries and cereals - if you are really hungry there are cheeses, hams or eggs and bacon as well) was served to us by Floris who was charming and efficient.|We spent the day exploring the local countryside and were pleased to return to the peaceful domaine and take a refreshing swim in the pool while listening to the bees humming in the lavender in the garden surrounding the pool.|Last night we all enjoyed sharing a few bottles of delicious Burgundy wine, sourced with care from Coen from a local, highly recommended vineyard. We drank this with a great selection of cheeses - many from the nearby region - and a perfectly dressed green salad and fresh crusty bread. A wonderful light supper after a busy day driving from the UK.|If you are looking for a peaceful and beautiful retreat with perfect hosts, then Chateau de Villette is it.

Château de Villette is a stunning architectural gem with excellent, relaxed hospitality surrounded by glorious gardens and spectacular views. I have stayed more than once and my rooms have been exceptionally comfortable with the best beds and linen you will ever sleep in; bathrooms have really good power showers with big white fluffy towels, and every room is exquisitely furnished. Catherine is a highly-skilled cook and her food is as good as any serious restaurant without being pretentious; expect delicious, fresh, seasonal produce all cooked with a nod to Burgundy’s traditional classics and some clever twists. Coen is a wine expert with a varied cellar and plenty from the region. This is top hospitality and makes returning inevitable.

We rented La Grenouilliere, a beautiful gite with stunning views across the hills. A really tranquil place, superb for walking, cycling and enjoying the wealth of wildlife (a lot of which can be seen when sitting out on the terrace at the rear of the cottage). This was the nicest gite we've stayed in (which says a lot as we have stayed in some amazing ones before!). The two gentlemen who were looking after the place whilst the owners were away were charming, so welcoming and friendly, that straightaway we felt at home and that nothing was too much trouble for them. We made the most of the lovely swimming pool as the weather was glorious whilst we were there. The kitchen was extremely well equipped which was fantastic as we love cooking, and we ate all our meals outside enjoying the stunning views and spotting the many different birds flying over. A highlight of the trip for me was the beautiful cycle way from Santenay to Beaune which meanders through vineyards and beautiful villages, and my husband enjoyed the challenge of cycling up Mont Beuvray and enjoying the sunrise (unfortunately a bit too hazy to see the swiss alps on this occasion). Definitely a place we'd love to return to, thank you for a wonderful holiday!

This authentic castle is one of the most amazing places I have ever stayed in. Nothing beats waking up and opening your window to a beautiful courtyard covered in the early morning fog. There is plenty of beautiful nature around to explore and in the evening we were warmheartedly welcomed for a delicious dinner with excellent local wines!

This was our first trip to France and it was our good fortune to find this beautiful chateau in which to stay and celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary. Our room was lovely with a beautiful view of the courtyard and gardens. Bed was very comfortable with beautiful linens and a big fluffy comforter. Every morning our bed was made, there were plenty of linens and water and tea were provided in our room. Upon our late arrival to the chateau, we were made a beautiful cheese board per our request, with fresh mixed greens, delicious cheeses, figs, apricots, etc. We participated in dinner which was a wonderful gourmet presentation of salmon in parchment paper and a delicious Pavlova desert. The chateau is a magical place and the owners are lovely and accomodating. Beautiful pool for swimming. Perfect for rest and relaxation after visiting the busy city of Paris, or for hiking, or to visit the nearby towns and wineries.

We stayed here for one night to kick off our holiday on our way to the south. The chateau is beautiful outside as well as inside and also the view is mesmerizing, beautiful landscape. The owners are very kind, and we just loved their cute dogs. The rooms are nice with great beds and the breakfast in the garden was very good. We would for sure stay here again, preferably even longer than just one night! Five star rating.

Chateau de Villette is a truly wonderful place to spend a few days, or if you are lucky, even more time.||||Catherine and Coen are perfect hosts - you feel completely at home as soon as you arrive. The peace and tranquility surrounding you is unique.||||We stayed in Chambolle Musigny, which is a lovely two bedroom suite with stunning views over the estate and beyond. The suite is charming and has an airy feel that is both welcoming and comfortable. Everywhere was extremely clean.||||We were very pleased to be able to dip into the pool to cool down from the hot summer temperatures, it was difficult to leave this peaceful spot in the late afternoon, but an early evening meal was tempting us.||||We enjoyed several delicious meals at Villette, whilst savouring the unique beauty of the magical environment around us. If you wish to head out in the evening, Catherine and Coen can recommend a variety of restaurants in the region and will even make the reservations for you!||||Your hosts are very knowledgeable about this beautiful location within the stunning Morvan Regional Natural Park and can help you plan a relaxing day - maybe wine tasting in one of the many famous vineyards or, if you feel more adventurous, cycling to the top of nearby Mont Beuvray.||||Breakfasts in the garden are a treat - a wonderful selection of fresh, local produce combined with friendly and attentive staff mean that you linger for as long as you can before you have to leave this rural idyll and head back to the outside world!||Thank you Catherine and Coen for making our stay with you so special, we very much look forward to returning again.

This hotel was as good as we thought it will be, and our expectations were sky high. We were initially planned to come during what turned out to be the Corona virus lockdown, but Catherine was very accommodating and kindly enabled us to postpone our booking to what turned out to be the very first moment we could leave the UK. The joy of arriving there was therefore amplified by being just released from months of quarantine, it was like going from zero to one hundred.||||The setting is perfect and the view everywhere you look is stunning. The building itself if a well refurbished countryside manor house, modernised wherever possible but generally kept loyal to its period. The grounds are gorgeous, manicured gardens surrounded by grand old trees. The rooms are comfortable, not the most luxurious and they do suffer from some quirks that stem from the fact you are in an old building, but then that's part of the charm of staying in such an old building in the first place. ||||Breakfasts are a true highlight, especially when the weather is nice enough to be served outside on the terrace. The team are lovely, very helpful and made the stay a delight. The 'honesty bar' was good value and frequently used by us!||||I highly recommend a stay in this special and unique hotel.
