Such a cool old place!

We loved staying at this place in Semur. Amazing views out the windows and a real sense of history. It is in a mainly pedestrian part of the town but you can drive to it to drop off your things. Parking is a short walk down the hill. Hosts were kind and helpful. Truly a charming location.

Großzügige Wohnung mit einer Menge Charme, an einem herrlichen Fleckchen Erde!

Die "Logis des gouverneurs" ist großzügig geschnitten und ist mit allem drum und dran ausgestattet. Sie verbreitet historischen Charme und lässt keine Wünsche offen! Zudem sind die Gastgeber ebenso zuvorkommend wie herzlich. Sie haben uns gerne zu lohnenden Ausflugszielen der Region beraten und auf wundervolle Weise begrüßt. Kommt dazu, dass der Ort Semur-en-Auxois wunderschön und im Herzen Burgunds ganz wunderbar gelegen ist. Fazit: Tolle Wohnung! Unbedingt empfehlenswert!

Spacious comfortable apartment in a Beautiful Town

What a lovely place to stay to visit Burgundy, or stay nearer home and explore the wonders of Semur and Flavigny. The apartment has everything you need and then some. First, the building and the furnishings are both impressive and comfortable. The beds are comfy, the bathrooms modern, and the kitchen has everything you need to cook any meal. It was very chilly outside a couple of our days there, and the apartment was warm. Maïté was an excellent host and her husband was charming as well. His paintings and treasures from their travels adorn the walls. We definitely hope to return, and we will plan to stay longer.

Hallo, die sehr schöne Ferienwohnung entsprach voll unseren Vorstellungen. Zeitweise unangenehme Gerüche haben den Aufenthalt etwas getrübt. Darauf hingewiesen versicherte die Vermieterin, dass dieses Problem neu sei und umgehend beseitigt würde. Wir hoffen, dass dies gelingt und noch viele Urlauber dort eine tolle Unterkunft finden.

Wirklich etwas ganz Besonderes

Semur ist ein wunderschönes historisches Städtchen, das perfekt als Basis für Ausflüge in die nähere und weitere Umgebung geeignet ist. Innerhalb von Semur wiederum ist die Lage dieser Ferienwohnung perfekt: Gleich hinter dem alten Stadttor gelegen, ist die gesamte Innenstadt in bequemer Laufnähe. Die Wohnung ist über eine bequeme, breite historische Wendeltreppe erreichbar. Innerhalb der dicken, alten Mauern ist sie individuell und charmant eingerichtet, und wir wurden dort sehr freundlich empfangen. Wir haben unsere Zeit in Semur sehr genossen!

The most perfect apartment and owner!

A warm, friendly, helpful welcome from the lovely owner and a jaw-droppingly beautiful, historic apartment made this a wonderful stay that was sadly way too short - we could have extended it by a month! We cannot wait to return to this apartment later in the year - it has absolutely everything and it's bang in the middle of town with easy, free parking. Thank you so much for accepting our reservation!

A gem!

How often does one get to stay in a lodging whose outer walls were once part of the city walls? The apartment was amazing, right in the middle of things - everything was perfect. The town of Semur is the perfect launching spot for visiting countless surrounding sites. Our hostess was charming and provided everything we needed. I would go back in a heartbeat. Next time I’ll stay longer.

Environnement bruyant

Un très bel appartement et familial, juste un soucis : le 2ème étage donnant sur la zone piétonne et le centre historique donc le réveil à 6h30 tous les matins c'était juste moyen pour passer une semaine de vacances tranquille!! (livraison tôt le matin, ramassage des poubelles 2/fois par semaine, bruits des cafés et restaurants). Concernant la propreté, rien à dire. Un appartement à ne pas recommander si vous souhaitez vous reposer, revoir l'annonce.

Wohlfühlatmosphäre in historischem Ambiente

Wir genossen unseren Aufenthalt in dieser einmaligen Wohnung in absolut zentraler Lage und mit individueller und liebevoller Ausstattung. Der freundliche Empfang, die große Hilfsbereit-schaft und die ungezwungenen Gespräche mit den Vermietern trugen dazu bei, dass wir uns von Anfang an wohl fühlten. Das malerische Städtchen, verschiedene Veranstaltungen - von der "Bel-Etage" aus einzigartig zu erleben -, viele lohnende Ziele in der Umgebung und die Landschaft an sich ließen Burgund für uns zum Erlebnis werden. Uneingeschränkte Empfehlung. Super!

One of the BEST in Europe

We're travelled extensively throughout Europe and rented many apartments and homes. Maite's Governor's apartment is one of the best we've enjoyed. It's location is perfectly central within the pedestrian village and to a number of sights in the area. The second floor apartment is easily accessible by a stone, circular staircase that is in excellent repair, as is the spotlessly clean apartment. We would never have guessed it was built in the 1600's. It's exactly as described, photographically depicted and completely updated, large and very comfortable. We loved the apartment's orientation. In the morning, the kitchen, dining and TV room receive the sun and the afternoon brightens both bedrooms. This orientation also allows for superb cross ventilation which provided the apartment to remain comfortably cool. However, should the temperatures dip to the point where heat is required, the apartment has heat in every room, to include both bathrooms. Having both a bath tub and separate shower meets the likes of everyone. The very large kitchen, complete with large refrigerator and dishwasher, oven, microwave, four-burner hob was fully equipped to have a dinner party for 8. The beds were comfortable, the linens of high quality and the shower water pressure was great. We spent 7-nights here and could easily have remained much longer. It was that perfect in comfort and location. The added benefit are the owner, Maite and her wonderful husband Jean-Alain. They are so welcoming, gracious and helpful. They'll do everything they can to insure your comfort and enjoyment of not only the apartment, but the village and it's surrounds. Maite and her Governor's Apartment are the standard for other owners and rental agencies to emulate.
