Photos and Description of the Nolay vacation house rental
2 Bedrooms, 1 bathroom, sleeps 4

In the pretty village of Change, situated just 2 minutes from Nolay in the Valley de la Cozanne, and on the ‘Route des Vignobles de Beaune à Cluny’, you will find this very comfortable 2 bedroom former winemaker’s house.

Built at the turn of the 19th Century it was one of the traditional houses of the longstanding winemaker ‘Domaine Georges Guérin’ in Change. The lower level served as a ‘Cave’ holding large barrels of wine, and the first floor was used as the living area with access to the rear garden and its unique ‘pigeonnier’.

100 years later, Gérard Martini, the new owner, fell in love with the house and gave it a new name, ‘Le Pigeonnier’. He has completely restored the property, conserving much of the original charm & antique furniture but at the same time has created a well equipped home with a delightful bathroom & cleverly designed kitchen. You will enjoy original ‘Art Noveau’ elements such as floral and geometric floor tiles, the rosace, stained glass.

Change is a charming little village, home to 8 winemakers!

In the heart of Hautes Côtes de Beaune, 20km south west of Beaune (Wine capital of Burgundy), 28km North west of Chalon (large town on the River Saone) and 25 km east of Autun (roman town and gateway to the Morvan Natural parc), Change is perfectly situated for exploring the best that Burgundy has to offer.

The Canal du centre is just a few minutes away, where you can walk, cycle and horse ride along the bridle paths. Hikers can start in Change, either from the ‘Circuit de Trois Monts’ or the famous GR7. From the top of Mont des Trois Croix you will find a fantastic view. The 4(!) mountain bikes at the house will help you to experience the surrounding natural beauty that Change has to offer. For those who like a little bit of ‘Las Vegas’, Santenay with its castles and famous casino is just 5 km away.

Last but not least Change has a little Bistro where you can find local food and try to understand the Burgundy dialect.

A Great Stay at Le Pigeonnier

Review Submitted: July 28, 2011 Date of Stay: May 2011
We had a wonderful two weeks at Le Pigeonnier in the heart of Burgundy. The location is superb - an easy drive to wine villages, market towns, chateaux, etc. The views across the vineyards are beautiful - and relaxing. The house is very well-equipped: good quality kitchenware; great, comfortable, new mattresses; cooking/cleaning/bathing/washing supplies - even a clothes dryer! And the owner has provided a wealth of information on the area as well - things to see, places to go, restaurants, etc. There are great restaurants in Santaney and Nolay - both just a few minutes away. Le Pigeonnier was very comfortable for the two of us - and fine when two friends came to visit for a couple of days. We also enjoyed getting to know the neighbors - and getting a private wine-tasting at the Monnot's winery (almost next door). We do not hesitate to recommend this part of Burgundy - and Le Pigeonnier - to anyone seeking a great, relaxing holiday.

A Wonderful Way to Experience Burgundy

Review Submitted: May 15, 2011 Date of Stay: April 2011
We have just returned from a 10 day stay in le Pigeonnier and would thoroughly recommend it. The house is set in a small village not far from Beaune and close to many other interesting and historic towns, castles and, of course, some of the most fabulous wine growing areas in France. From the attractive small garden you can gaze across the village to vines growing up the hills.
The cottage itself is amazingly well equipped for a rental property; there is everything from a salad spinner to mountain bikes and a sauna and small pool. Everything is meticulously maintained and very clean. If there are any problems the neighbouring family is more than happy to help out.
We enjoyed making excursions into the surrounding towns on market days and stocking up on wonderful fresh produce which we cooked in the evening. The Voie Verte runs by the top of the village, so if you enjoy cycling, this is a great way of seeing the surrounding countryside.
The cottage is not large, ideal for a small family or two couples who are happy to share a bathroom.

Fantastic Vacation!

Review Submitted: September 25, 2010 Date of Stay: September 2010
Le Pigeonnier was amazing! We just arrived back from our wonderful vacation at the Martinis' home yesterday. We stayed from 20 - 24 September 2010. The property is so charming but with great amenities - everything you need for enjoying Burgundy wines, cooking, and relaxing. We made great use of the kitchen facilities and the sauna. The owners have thought of everything - from regional information, restaurant suggestions and gourmet wine glasses to bathrobes, slippers, and eucalyptus oil for the sauna - that's right, sauna!

We arrived and were greeted by the neighbor, Mme. Monnot who gave us a tour of the house. The owners suggested we ask them for a tasting and tour of their winery, and they were happy to oblige. This was a great local experience, and was one of the highlights of our trip.

This was a fantastic location to use as our home base for exploring the Burgundy wine region. At only 30 minutes from Beaune there is no place too far to see on any day. Or if you prefer to just stay in and relax, you will not find a better place. Le Pigeonner is practically a spa, you can relax in the sauna, then sit outside with a coffee, and finally sit in front of a fire in the evening and enjoy a great glass of wine.

Our group consisted of 4 people (2 couples) and we found ourselves with plenty of room.

This is a great property and location, and we would highly recommend it for anyone!

Everything was PERFECT!

Review Submitted: September 20, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2010
We recently visited here at the end of August and we loved every bit of this house and the area. It had everything you needed and more! We brought our 14 month old son and the house was set up to keep him safe which made staying there much more relaxing. The owner Gerard even provided a crib and high chair. Even one of the mountain bikes had a seat for our son and helmet. Be sure to make friends with the wine makers across the street, they are very nice and if you're nice to them I'm sure they'll give you a tour of their winery. We loved the house so much that we decided to cook all our own meals (we even invited the neighbors over for dinner), I guess we were inspired by all the great ingredients and cooking in France. We choose to mainly stay at the house and enjoy it with the occasional hike and bike ride. We loved sitting by the pool and drinking wine! There is a great hiking trail just steps away from the house as well as a biking path that will take you to the surrounding towns. We only wish we could have stayed longer. We can't wait to return!! If you are looking for a little more action, there is so much near by to do like a balloon ride, sky diving, rock climbing, wine tasting, shopping and much much more.
