With Location Burgundy you can have your holiday your way.

Headed up by husband and wife team, David and Su Bishop, Location Burgundy has been providing luxurious self-catering accommodation at the heart of the wine villages of Côte d’Or for the best part of a decade. All Location Burgundy homes exude character, offer flexibility in terms of length of stay and provide a perfect base for exploring this key wine region.

Su comments, “Size, affordability and freedom are the keys to self-catering success. A hotel room not only has restrictions on schedules for everything from meal times to departure times, but they can be pricey and at the end of the day a room is just a room. No separate lounge, kitchen or garden to call your own. With a Location Burgundy home you can relax, entertain, dine, work and sleep in different parts of the property and pack the children safely off to bed while your evening continues. An equipped kitchen allows the flexibility of eating in thus saving money and releasing yourself from strict timetables. It’s as close to home as you can get.”

Every day essentials from hand soap to bed linen and towels are provided.
