Burgundy Hotel Recommendations Please.

Posted by aarthurperry on 01/12/18 03:06 PM

As part of a very long trip to Europe I am looking for places to stay in Burgundy.

I have one place already in Puligny-Montrachet but would like to move to a different area. I am looking for the typical "Rick" type of place Cozy, family run and reasonable...but charming and out of the way a bit. A good restaurant is a big plus.

The place I have in Puligny is €75/room with a small breakfast for two people. I'd like to stay in that range.

Any suggestions appreciated. I have spent hours online and I have gone officially "webblind" So if you have stayed in a great place pass them on to me.

Well I am sorry you had a bad experience but in Europe if you ask for a drink like Campari and Orange you will get the orange drink not the slice. But hey look on the bright side. You got to try a new drink. It wasnt like the US but that is sort of the point of going other places.

Thanks for the recommendation.

The best B&B we have ever stayed at anywhere was the Carpe Diem Guesthouse in Massangis, maybe 45 minutes by car from Beaune. Lovely courtyard garden, excellent hosts, beautiful rooms...ours was huge, glistening modern bathroom...and a very nice breakfast. A dinner option is available, we chose to go to nearby restaurants instead. A car is a must. It sits in a tiny village but accessible by car to many sights. We used a Michelin guide to pick driving routes for each day of touring. Really a wonderful place. I think we spent perhaps 5 nights. Safe travels.

Jane and Denny both have had positive, extensive experience in Burgundy. I’d follow their recommendations in a heartbeat. My in-laws lived in northern Burgundy, but I would recommend staying anywhere from Avallon south to the Maçon over the north, which is generally cattle or wheat-growing country.

You might consider Hostellerie des Trois Pigeons in Paray le Monial. It's about 90 minutes or so from Puligny-Montrachet. Unlike Puligny, Paray is not a wine-focused Burgundian town. It's a religious site with a large basilica and some important chapels.

Les Trois Pigeons is a nice spot, but I know the owners are looking to retire and the place (a former 1500s stable house) is up for sale. It's located in a medieval part of the 1,000-year old town.

They always close seasonally from December through March. I'm not sure if they'll re-open this March or stay closed until they find a buyer. If you're there in warm weather request a table outside in their courtyard. M. Cristofoli (the chef) is quite talented.
