Exquisite hideaway on a 14th- and 16th-century estate amid 17 acres of fragrant gardens, tucked deep in the Burgundian countryside, less than an hour’s drive from Chablis, Auxerre and Vézelay. English-speaking owners Rik and Marieke Klomp have a true talent for hospitality, anticipating guests’ needs and fostering a house-party atmosphere. The four Junior Suites and one Suite have spacious baths with separate showers, dramatic wood-beamed ceilings and hardwood or original terra-cotta tile floors; some include woodburning fireplaces. Immaculate spa (at an extra cost), gleaming fitness center, tennis court and outdoor heated pool, as well as a furnished Victorian-style conservatory, game room and an airy lounge in the former carriage house. Unfussy but excellent dinners are prepared by Marieke herself. An ideal stop between Paris and the Côte d’Or.

The unfailingly warm, hospitable and anticipatory service; the rich historic details; the tranquil garden setting; the unfussy, delicious food; the well-kept pool; the house-party feel.
The leather armchairs in the conservatory need conditioning; the bath had limited counter space.
The property is a fine base for sightseeing, within easy reach of Chablis, Auxerre, Vézelay and Avallon, among other attractions.
Lowest Rate: Safran Junior Suite, $380; Editor’s Choice: Suite, $580.
