Traditional 17th century residence backing onto the old city walls, carefully restored and revisited as a peaceful holiday retreat in a resolutely contemporary spirit, nestled in a quiet setting on the edge of a quiet lane, in the very heart of the famous abbey town (all amenities and leisure facilities on site, directly accessible on foot), in a peaceful residential area nestled a stone's throw from the historic centre of the illustrious monastic town. Nestled in the wooded foothills of the South Burgundy massif between two vast wild national forests, in the hollow of the bucolic Grosne valley, largely protected as a "Natura 2000 Zone" for its remarkable ecosystems, the "spiritual heart" of medieval Europe with the very rare and prestigious "European Heritage" label, Cluny boasts an inestimable historical heritage (exceptional abbey site from the 10th/18th centuries, several medieval towers including the famous Cheese Tower, numerous Romanesque & Gothic residences, two majestic churches, sumptuous Hôtel-Dieu from 1703, etc.) and benefits from a superb preserved landscaped setting, combining vineyard slopes, groves, wooded hills & rivers.
