Cozy nest in the Green dovecot

Come and relax on the grounds of the old castle of Champlay, in the Yonne. Less than 2 hours from Paris, between Sens and Auxerre, the Colombier Vert is a haven of peace in a small village in Burgundy. Former farm of a castle now disappeared, the estate belongs to Régis and Véronique. Lovers of heritage and gardens, they are committed to the restoration of buildings while respecting their history, ecology and the environment. The space At the corner of the stove in winter...in the shade of the garden in summer. The old bakehouse has become a nice cottage, comfortable and cozy, whose windows open onto the dovecote of the 17th century. Ideal for a quiet stay as a couple or for a teleworking session, it has a spacious living room on the ground floor, with a wood stove: you will enjoy snuggling up in one of the two very comfortable armchairs, arranged in front of the stove, with a good book! Upstairs, a bedroom with a double bed welcomes you for sweet and quiet nights. A separate space with a single sofa-bed allows you to receive a child or a friend. The natural and contemporary decoration brings a relaxing touch to the place. The lawn in front of the cottage allows you to enjoy the view of the dovecote and the barns with beautiful architecture. A few meters away, a contemporary garden, created and cultivated with respect for biodiversity, invites you to walk through the vegetable garden, natural meadows and medicinal plants. You will be welcomed by the Conciergerie de l'Yonne: Nathalie will offer you her advice to discover the region. Guest access You can access in front of the property to unload your luggage. Free public parking is available 50 metres from the property.
