Book a hotel near Château de Rochepot, La Rochepot

"My husband and I stayed for nearly three weeks, with a week-long visit from two other family members. The space accommodated us very well. Our aim was for a quiet, low-key getaway from everything so we could just read and write, or watch TV and relax, but also be close to amenities and walking trails . . . this was perfect. That said, we were surprised by the number of people walking past the place with dogs, children on the way to and from school, etc. We certainly did not feel stuck in a remote place!We walked almost daily to the top of the hill outside the village ... a decent, but not onerous, trek (guessing 3-4 kilometers/2.5-3 miles round trip). There are other walks and bike paths, but we didn't explore them.We did several day trips to surrounding villages & cities (Dijon, Lyon), taking in a winery, moutardarie, and other local shops & artisans. Lots of driving, but the countryside offers breathtaking views of miles & miles of vineyards, sunflowers, and various other crops.The weather was VERY hot for several days (32C/92F) but it was possible to keep the gite several degrees cooler than outdoors with the provided window coverings completely pulled. Pierre was extremely, promptly responsive to every request we made. And we were so pleased and privileged to share meaningful conversation with him and his lovely wife, Valerie. The gite itself was well-equipped & up-to-date. Thank you so much, Pierre & Valerie; we highly recommend your charming gite! "

"Photos of the property focused more on the jacuzzi than the layout of the living area. Photos of bedrooms then bathroom appeared that they were next to each other. But bedrooms were upstairs in the attic and bathroom was downstairs 21 steep stairs down, not safe for nighttime visits to bathroom. Kitchen was fairly well equipped. But the 4 knives provided were dangerously Dull! Communication with owner was limited, any questions we had, were not answered completely before we arrived, and owner didn’t seem interested in welcoming us at all!Or checking that we had all that we needed, the house was ver difficult to find. When we contacted home to help us find the house he seemed put off. Very ambiguous listing and ghost host/ owner!"
