La Guimbarde by Burgundy Hideaways

Nestled in the historic, picture-perfect village of Frôlois, La Guimbarde offers a quintessential Burgundy getaway where timeless rural charm seamlessly meets modern comfort. Once the village bakery, this beautifully transformed cottage now serves as an inviting sanctuary for up to four adults seeking rest, relaxation, and an authentic taste of French country living. From the moment you arrive to crisp, fresh white linens on new mattresses, every detail has been thoughtfully designed for total comfort. Sleeping options include a spacious master suite with a king-size double bed (160 cm x 200 cm) and a peaceful twin room (two 90 cm x 200 cm beds), each boasting its own stylish en-suite shower room complete with oversized walk-in showers, soft towels, and complimentary artisan soaps. What truly elevates the top-floor sleeping quarters, however, are the expansive picture windows framing unobstructed, elevated views across the rustic terracotta rooftops of Frôlois to the rolling, sunlit valley beyond—providing an unspoiled, serene backdrop for quiet morning coffee or peaceful afternoon reading. Beyond its tranquil bedrooms, La Guimbarde excels in creating an effortless home-away-from-home experience for couples, small groups, and families alike. The ground floor opens into satisfying, light-filled living spaces designed for slow living and memorable meals with loved ones. A fully equipped, kitchen—paired with an old-fashioned walk-in pantry to keep food prep clutter-free—opens via a charming balcony directly onto the garden terrace. After a day spent exploring Burgundy’s renowned vineyards and historical sites, guests can unwind in the warm, sunny lounge featuring inviting soft seating, a cozy log-burning stove indoors for cooler evenings, and full entertainment options including Netflix, Amazon Prime, and UK free-to-air channels. Step through the glass lounge doors onto the veranda and down into a private, enclosed south-facing garden. Here, long summer days are best spent relaxing on sun loungers, grilling local produce on the gas barbecue, or enjoying delivered morning baguettes and pastries from the local baker. With comprehensive baby equipment, flexible pet-friendly policies, and optional private catering services—including tailored menus and regional cheese and meat recommendations—La Guimbarde delivers a relaxed, deeply authentic, and completely stress-free Burgundy retreat.
