Gîte du Prieuré de Saint-Hippolyte

Jacques & Patricia open the doors of an elegant authentic medieval building of character, fully restored according to the rules of the art, nestled on a property steeped in history (formerly "dependence" of the priory & "deanery" which occupied the premises / agricultural estate linked to the abbey of Cluny), adjoining the remains of the emblematic & majestic fortified Romanesque church of Saint-Hippolyte dating from the 11th century, one of the very first of this type built in Burgundy ("Cluniac Site" classified MH, "candidate" in the process of being classified as UNESCO world heritage), a literally exceptional building & a true heritage gem. In a quiet area, on the edge of a lane, in the heart of a picturesque little rural residential hamlet, nestled in the heart of the rolling Clunisoise countryside in the hollow of the verdant Guye valley (& its fish-filled river), sublime landscaped setting protected in the Natura 2000 Zone & ZNIEFF for its fauna & flora riches (including the nearby Monts site & its "limestone lawns" typical of Burgundy). Very comfortable gîte. Ultra spacious. Vast panoramic living room bathed in light. Warm "bourgeois" cachet in a "chic countryside" spirit enhanced by the soul of the original building (preservation of stone walls, wooden beams & lintels, stone fireplace mantel, rafters, etc.). Wealthy & refined atmosphere. Lots of charm & character. Pleasant enclosed garden (600m²) carefully landscaped, with a beautiful exposed terrace & a "natural" pétanque court (courtyard). Composition: Gîte in the owners' house (total independence without vis-à-vis). Wifi (fiber / "airbox" system). Gas central heating + fireplace. Gîte on one level (+ half floor).
