English by birth and Burgundian by adoption, Michelle & John welcome you to an authentic Morvan residence from the end of the 19th century, perfectly restored and revisited into a comfortable country resort, nestled peacefully in the hollow of a charming gentle mountain valley, on the edge of forests, fields & meadows. Peaceful little agricultural & rural hamlet in the upper Morvan overlooking the bucolic Ternin valley & the typical village of Chissey-en-Morvan, the northernmost of Saône-et-Loire nestled on the old historic Roman road linking Sens to Autun (remains at visit), with a notable heritage (numerous castles, manors, fortified houses & mills) and splendid landscapes, a commune also involved in the precursor “starry sky” project carried by the Morvan Natural Park (with obtaining the prestigious label “International Dark Sky Reserve” in their sights). Charming setting preserved by nature and greenery, relaxing & restful. The privilege of being able to observe wildlife on site (foxes, deer, wild boars, birds, etc.). Comfortable gîte with a lovely, warm country feel with contemporary accents enhanced by the preservation of rich traces of the past (French-style beams & ceilings, stone fireplace mantle, original terracotta floor tiles). Soft & exotic atmosphere of an old building steeped in history. Vast enclosed garden of 2000m², with trees, plants and flowers, laid out in an environmental logic of respect for nature (while maintaining “ecological continuity”). Beautiful unobstructed view of the surrounding countryside.
