Staying at La Maison du Couvent was a restful experience where we were surrounded by simple beauty in each room. Every member of our family commented on the peacefulness of the residence, maybe tied to its history as a convent, but certainly attributable to the aesthetic design of the space. The colors of the walls of the bedrooms (a greenish blue and gray) somehow made you feel like you were a part of the sublime sky outside. We kept the updated windows, whose style tied in with the original architecture of the building, open in the afternoons and evenings, allowing us to hear the singing of nearby birds and the flowered scents of gardens that the apartment overlooked. In the communal spaces of the apartment, the clean lines of the kitchen and modern appliances invited us to cook, while the living room and dining area, decorated with subtle yellows and oranges, provided a perfect space for gathering as a family.
The central area of Beaune, including the historical hospital of the Hotel Dieu, were a short walk away from our front door. A close-by bike shop also awaited us, where we could rent electric bikes that took us through the surrounding vineyards and small villages of Burgandy.
If you are looking for a peaceful, beautiful landing space in one of the best wine growing regions of the world, we can’t recommend La Maison de Couvent highly enough.
