When I first saw this B&B website, I knew we had to stay there. Part of a winery, there were five rooms (and an apartment) and in one of those rooms, they could split a king bed into twins for our friends, so staying there worked. Rooms were clean, updated, roomy, and had lots of natural light. The second night we enjoyed a lightning and thunderstorm playing out in the sky. A walk-in shower featured L’Occitane products (but no lotion and no hair conditioner) and the room had a comfortable king bed with quality linens and comfortable pillows. The towel rack didn’t heat up, the small safe was on the fritz, and there wasn’t any closet area to hang or store clothes. Half the armoire was taken up with the safe and storage items while the other half did not open at all. Not deal breakers but for a long stay, it might wear on a traveler.||The breakfast was limited but sufficient. A croissant was placed on each plate in the morning, scrambled eggs were served on small plates, and the usual meats and cheeses. A small serving of berries and strawberries was allocated to each person. And oh, yes, several cereals. On the buffet table were also these thin, curly, almond cookies. Delicious! I later saw a bag of them at the patisserie around the corner and wondered if they were an area specialty. Because the B&B was part of a winery, the owner does a nightly 5PM pouring of five wines so we scrunched down in the cellar doorway that first night and stepped cautiously down the steps. || The location was ideal as you could view the roof of the Hotel-Dieu Museum from the front of the B&B. It took five minutes to walk to there...door to door. We couldn’t have stayed at a more convenient place! Even the famed La Moutarderie Fallot mustard shop was right around the corner. The hosts were kind...
Read moreLes Jardins de Lois is a great B&B located near the Beaune old town. Hosts Plilippe and Anne-Marie ensure you are well cared for. When I asked Philippe for some wine glasses he said just treat it like you were staying at home and find them in the dining room. It truly felt like we were staying with life long friends.
The rooms are very large and well equipped. Ours, Clos des Perrières had a tub, but no separate shower. We used the shower in the hall near the sauna.
We enjoyed their wine both nights we stayed. The wine tasting event in the cellar was nice and we ended up having some bottled shipped home to the US. Philippe helped put all the information together for the shipping.
We enjoyed sitting by the swimming pool one evening with our wine.
The breakfast was also exceptional with Anne-Marie taking care...
Read moreWe travel a lot and stay at both name brand and boutique hotels but the experience at Les Jardins de Lois was extraordinary, even by our high standards. We were personally greeted upon arrival and walked directly to our wonderful room, which had a bedroom and a living room along with modern shower amenities. The grounds/garden are absolutely lovely with roses growing throughout the property. The B&B was also situated just minutes from town center and we were able to walk to all the restaurants in Beaune. But the very highlight of the experience was the amazing breakfast that was served here. The breakfast includes custom eggs/omletes, as well as anything else you can imagine...fresh croissants, high quality fruits, yogurts and cheeses. We can't wait to come back. ...
