le Vieux Cuvage

Joëlle & Michel welcome you to a charming authentic 19th century winegrowers' house, carefully revisited as a comfortable holiday home, nestled in the countryside in the heart of the sublime Brionnais bocage with the famous peaceful Charolais cows as privileged neighbours. Total calm in a small rural hamlet leaning against the hillside, on a well-exposed south-west plateau, in the hollow of a magnificent preserved setting of meadows & forests. Ultra relaxing setting close to the picturesque medieval village of Semur-en-Brionnais, historic capital of Brionnais with the prestigious label "Most beautiful villages of France" & "Cluniac site" full of history (birthplace of Hugues de Semur, future Saint-Hugues founder of the Cluny abbey), rich in an exceptional heritage (remains of the 10th century medieval castle, listed Romanesque church & chapel from the 12th century, imposing 19th century priory, 18th century town hall, historic residences, etc.) as well as a splendid landscaped setting. Spacious gîte with very good comfort. Beautiful living room with a beautiful "cathedral" volume fitted out in place of the historic old vat room. Warm country character with contemporary touches enhanced by a careful heritage restoration (fireplace mantel, stone walls, frames & beams ... original). Large sheltered terrace extended by an exposed terrace open to a pleasant garden of 1800m² including a small vegetable garden (vegetables available). Large landscaped courtyard, literal natural pétanque ground! Beautiful unobstructed view of the surrounding countryside from the site.
