Spacious Burgundian House and extensive gardens with swimming pool

Had a lovely week here in June with my family, including my two children of 7 and 9 years old. The house was ideal for us - plenty of room for us all to have some space, with a large open plan ground floor and 4 nicely presented bedrooms upstairs. The whole place felt very clean and fresh.
The grounds were fantastic - the house is at the end of a quiet lane, so was safe for the children to ride on their scooters well away from the main road. There was lots of space for them to play, with a huge enclosed paddock, a swing, and a badminton net set up, with racquets etc provided - which was a huge hit with my kids. Not forgetting the swimming pool, which they used everyday of the holidays (even in the rain one day)!
The house is a pleasant 10 minute walk from the village, which has a mini-market, a bar, a restaurant and a couple of other shops, including a good boulangerie where we bought our fresh bread each morning. There is also a nicely equipped little children's playground and football field.
The house is only a 10 minute walk in the opposite direction to Chateau Ratilly, a beautiful chateau famous for it's pottery, which you can watch being made - well worth a visit.
Further afield there are some nice little towns within a 10-15 minute drive, including St Fargeau which has a fantastic chateau (where you can walk around the attic eaves) that the children enjoyed, and St Sauveur, where we had lunch at a little rustic Italian restaurant - we all enjoyed the pizzas!
Finally, if travelling with children/teenagers, I'd recommend the Adventure Park which is only a 5 minute drive away - it was the highlight of my kids' holiday being suspended between the trees on zipwires (thankfully I was able to just watch from below)!
We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at Les Jolivots and look forward to returning again - thank you!

This has been our fifth stay at Les Jolivots. The house is spotlessly clean, the beds are comfortable and the open plan accommodation downstairs works well. In fact everything works well! We have visited in the early Spring through to September, both when the weather has been hot and sunny and when it has been cold, wet and miserable. In good weather the outside living is idyllic. There are several different seating areas to catch every bit of sun, round the pool, on the patio and in front of the house till the sun disappears. Walking in the early morning to the bottom of the meadow is delightful, with spectacular views over open countryside.
The house has a different identity in cold weather. The wood burning stove warms the whole house and downstairs feels extremely cosy.
There are several well stocked supermarkets in the area, though we prefer to buy from local markets. Toucy has a fantastic Saturday market, and it is possible to visit a different market in surrounding villages every day of the week!
There are places to eat within walking distance in the village itself and in surrounding villages. Visits to Sancerre and Saint Fargeau are memorable.
We love walking and the surrounding countryside is perfect for beautiful scenery unspoiled by cars. There is even a chateau within walking distance which is well worth a visit
In fact the location of Les Jolivots is ideal for visiting this unspoiled area of France.

When we arrived in Treigny we were very pleased with the house and the garden. It was just what a holiday home should be. The house is very spacious with an open plan living area and a cosy real log fire for chilly evenings. Nice decor and everything one needs for a relaxing break.The dishwasher and two bathrooms make things easier for families or friends sharing too. The very large private gardens with mature fruit trees are an added bonus - especially when the fruit can be eaten by visitors whenever it ripens.
Everything was spotlessly clean and well maintained. We would have no hesitation in recommending this lovely house to family or friends and will definitely be going back sometime soon! The outdoor pool is absolutely ideal for hot sunny days to take a cooling dip.
And what a great area the house is situated in too! The surrounding countryside is beautiful. Rolling hills, lovely market towns with superb restaurants, good supermarkets and plenty of points of interest.
