La Maison de Souhey

Fantastic little "chateau" in the middle of nowhere. A bit hard to find as the place is not marked well. Big structure on the corner for those who book in the future. We always check multiple sites to be sure we're getting what's advertised. This is certainly a BnB and not a hotel. Owners are absolutely delightful and fun. Michael and Tasha are 5-star hosts and love to entertain. This is truly settling into the French countryside. There is no air conditioning in the rooms as advertised. The 'restaurant' is a personal kitchen where the hosts make the food buffet-style. Everything is laid-back and comfortable if staying for more than one night. Tasha is super accommodating and loves to engage about all aspects of life, which made our time enjoyable. The rooms are well appointed. Make note of the romantic room with 2-beds, one bed is about 5'-10" from headboard to baseboard. If two taller people are traveling, pick the other room with the king-size bed. Breakfast was very nice and typical French with bread, cheese, meat, jams, and eggs on request. If the objective is to get out of the big city and relax for a few days...this is great. If wanting to spend time in a little French village and walk around, head 20 minutes to Semur-en-Auxois, where we had the most wonderful evening.

We stayed in the Chambre Amour. The room is very tastefully decorated and has a magnificent view of the farm land around and the horses. The welcome by Michel was very friendly and he immediately made us feel at home. Michel was a great host and cooked deliciously for us and put a great breakfast together with even (Dutch style) pancakes. :) He was also very helpful with providing suggestions on what to visit in the surrounding area. The swimming pool is also very nice. We definitely would like to come back!
