1 Bedroom Holiday Barn in Viserny, Burgundy, France - Le Joli Regain Reviews

My wife and I have stayed in many self-catering gites over the past several years and The Little Barn is one of the very best. The gite was lived in by the owners while their house was being refurbished and, consequently, it is comfortably furnished and well equipped with everything needed for an enjoyable holiday. Stuart and Jules are friendly and helpful and have stocked the gite with soaps, paper towels, trash bags, tissues, etc. All you need to provide is the food and drink.

There are no shops in the village of Viserny, but at least two large supermarkets nearby in Semur-en-Auxios. There are lots of pretty medieval towns and villages to visit in the region and the owners have provided guidebooks and maps for touring in the car or for hiking. For hot summer days, there are a couple of lakes in the area where swimming is possible - one commercialized, but free and the other is for "wild" swimming and a nice trail around the lake.

The gite is only a couple of years old and was immaculately clean when we arrived. The gite has an open floor plan with cathedral ceiling, French doors and lots of windows to provide a bright and airy living space. The garden and parking area are enclosed and gated. The owners park and access their house outside the “enclosure”, so the gite and garden are very private, yet the owners are right at hand if you have any questions. The location is very quiet with no noise from neighbors and minimal traffic on the road outside the gite. WiFi connectivity was good and reliable throughout our stay.

We recommend this gite for anyone interested in self-catering accommodations in the Burgundy/Bourgogne area - we have already booked the gite again for next year.
