We stayed in this super house for 1 week in august. Everything was impressive: the house itself, the decoration and furniture, location, view from the window! We loved it. Great kitchen, loved to cook there. Lovely garden. You don’t need a car here. You can walk everywhere, the nearest boulangerie is a 1 minute walk, carrefour supermarket within 10 minutes! Tournus is very beautiful, especially the St Philibertus. Walks along the Sâone, diner at le Rempart. I would love to come back one day. Communication with Florence went very smooth!

Nous avons particulièrement apprécié ce court séjour qui m’a permis de voir mes fils ... Les propriétaires sont charmants et très compréhensifs sur nos demandes .La maison est très agréable, bien située.Juste peut être améliorer l’extérieur qui est très agréable avec une grande table, plancha, et un petit coup d’entretien !

Quel agréable séjour pour des retrouvailles de lycéennes 40 années après ! La chaleur et le confort de cette maison a contribué à rendre merveilleux ces moments. Celle-ci est idéalement située dans le quartier de l'abbaye. Charmant week-end avec en plus "Les Puces des Cuisinières" ! au Cellier des Moines. Il ne manque absolument rien !

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour entre amis. Les pièces étaient plus grandes qu'elles ne paraissent sur la photo. Parking facile et gratuit à proximité, propriétaires disponibles et réactifs. Localisation en centre ville pratique pour l'accès rapide aux commerces / marché. Bonne literie, lits faits à l'arrivée! Jardinet sympathique, maison agréable et bien équipée, très adaptée aux jeunes enfants (barrières pour les escaliers etc), à deux pas de l'abbaye. Peu de luminosité en RDC (pièces à vivre) mais cela ne nous a pas du tout gêné sur un week-end (lampes déco un peu partout), et en Eté la maison doit être bien isolée pour garder de la fraîcheur.

Wonderful location, nice garden terrace, more room than needed for two couples to have enough space and cook dinners together. Owner was quick to respond to any questions and checkin was a breeze.

Super séjour à Tournus dans le magnifique gîte de Florence. Tout est pensé pour les familles. On se sent tout de suite bien dans la maison.

Great location. Everything in walking distance, and the nice air made walking a pleasure. House was supplied with what you need, with appliances and hair dryer. Also you will find iron and ironing board. The three floors worked for us. The shower on the top floor was wonderful and beautiful, made with stone work. Property Owner was readily available for assistance and was a pleasure to deal with for any questions. Tournus was centrally located, so we were able to do day trips within France and also to Germany, Luxembourg, and Switzerland. Market next door was nice. Great to have fresh meat and vegetables. Plenty of pastry shops within a short walk. Parking was a challenge. Did not understand the meters. It was hard trying to figure out the open hours for everything, especially the restaurants! Great photo opportunities, for you can take beautiful pictures of the abbey with the night lights highlighting the tower. It is equipped with nice TV, but we never used it...too much to do. Our stay was almost a month. The house was very comfortable for our use. Gayle Weaver USA, Florida

The accommodation is on three floors - top floor has several beds and a delightful large shower room. First floor has two double bedrooms, one with a loo and sink and the other has a stand-alone deep bath with toilet. There is another small toilet on the ground floor, as well as one in the garden. Car parking is restricted to 20 minutes outside the house, but there is free parking in several places nearby. There is a good grocer next door and the high street is paces away. We were fortunate with the weather and we spent many happy hours in the sunny garden, where at the bottom is a garden room where one can 'escape' to. The kitchen has all modern equipment for a large party - a jug would have been useful but that was a small matter. The kitchen tap arrangement is very modern but we managed not to make too much 'splash'. There are many good restaurants around a few minutes walk away and the town has supermarkets and some wonderful food shops. We took the train to Dijon and Lyon -the station is a short walk away. We had a very relaxing holiday indeed.

Le gîte est très fonctionnel et très accueillant. Situé en plein coeur de Tournus, il est un endroit idéal pour un we en famille ou entre amis.

Le gîte est vraiment top, on s’y est retrouvé en famille avec des enfants en bas âge et tout était très pratique en plus d’être stylé! Le jardin très appréciable aussi. Tout est accessible à pied à Tournus, emplacement parfait! Je recommande vivement :-) Merci beaucoup, tout le monde à adoré l’endroit, on a passé un super week-end en famille en faisant tout à pied depuis le gîte! On a aussi essayé comme recommandé un étoilé - les terrasses - c’était génial. Encore merci et à bientôt!

The property is full of character and is very centrally located in the heart of Tournus. The rooms are spacious and having a garden is a bonus. We really enjoyed staying in your property and had a fantastic week.

Un gite très bien placé à Tournus. Il est en centre ville, on a tout les commerces à proximité. Il est très bien équipé, très bien meublé et décoré. On était 8, chacun a trouvé sa place, on ne se gênait pas les uns les autres. A l'arrière de la maison, un jardin qui doit être très agréable aux beaux jours, malheureusement nous n'avons pas pu en profiter , nous avons eu la pluie tout le séjour. Les propriétaires sont très sympathiques. En résumé, tout était nickel, je recommande vivement si vous chercher un gite sur Tournus.
