Photos and Description of this Saone-et-Loire holiday chateau / country house 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 2 powder rooms, configured in 3 suites plus pool house

Le Plaisir is designed for three couples to live in luxury and privacy, each with their own suite, in an environment of antiques, beamed ceilings and fireplaces; combined with the ultimate in modern kitchen, bathroom, music room and communications technologies. A few steps away, Le Barn offers a romantic 'get away' of massive beams, stone floors, a grand fireplace (also for cooking), a little kitchen, another powder room, an awesome music system, and incomparable views (over the 50' heated lap pool reflecting the forests and pastures high above to the south, and over the Grosne River valley and Cluny to the Maconnais mountain range to the east). In a word, the property is sublime.

Further details for this holiday chateau / country house rental in Saone-et-Loire, France

There is something mystical and exalting about Le Plaisir. The property rests high above Cluny, a medieval town of Roman origins and site of what was once the largest building in Christendom. A vigneron built Le Plaisir just after the Revolution, placing his wine press in what is today a luxurious guest suite. The current owners rebuilt the vigneron's farmhouse some 200+ years later. Not even real estate hype can describe the beauty, luxury and privacy of their achievement.

Le Plaisir is surrounded by dense forest above and rolling pastures below. A country lane leading to the property continues up the mountain to the last and only residence 1 kilometre beyond. Yet Le Plaisir is only 5 minutes from down town, its markets, 15 restaurants, ancient Abbey, equestrian centre and tennis club (with indoor court). It's about an hour up the old wine road to Beaune and the Cote d'Or, or down to Lyon, gastronomic capital of the world; with the joyous wine of the Maconnais, Pouilly Fuisse and Beaujolais in between. Cluny is easily accessible from: Paris (Gare de Lyon - Macon TGV train station, 1 hour 40 minutes, non-stop, and another 20 minute drive from the station); Geneva (under 2 hours from the airport), and Autoroute A6 'Route du Soleil' (under 30 minutes).

Le Plaisir. It is 'sans paroles'! First of all, Le Plaisir itself is simply the most beautifully renovated home we have ever seen. Every detail is perfect, and the overall effect is stunning. We can thoroughly understand how you fell in love with the beauty and serenity of Cluny. But we are equally impressed by how you were able to achieve such a sense of coziness and 'home' in a place halfway around the world. Your area restaurant recommendations were outstanding, and we must add a few of our own. I am embarrassed to confess that we somehow managed to eat '17 stars in 8 days' - each! What gluttons! We ate at Paul Bocuse in Lyon, Georges Blanc in Vonnas, Bernard Loiseau in Saulieu, Auberge du Pere Bise in Talloires, Lameloise in Chagny, and the Chateau D'Ige. The wine tasting was equally fun. We especially enjoyed Meursault (touristy but still a great show). I feel as though I had the most fabulous, restful and luxurious vacation. This is the way to turn forty.
