Comfortable windmill

Located at the top of a hill offering a 360 ° view of the Chalonnaise countryside and overlooking the vineyards, this old windmill, fully restored, awaits you for a unique and unforgettable stay! Original and rare, the building seduces both by its character and by its interior comfort. On 4 levels, the rooms, all round, are both functional and warm, thanks to the exposed stones and the wood.

On the 2nd floor: shower room with WC, washing machine, hairdryer.
On the 3rd floor: bedroom with the most unusual "camembert" bed, and dressing room. The dimensions of this extraordinary bed are on the photo.
Land with orchard, garden furniture, barbecue, sunbathing, badmington ...

Weekend, mid-week and week rentals. Approved 3 ears Gîte de France.
All inclusive rates: bed linen, end of stay cleaning, heating (floor) and wood for the fireplace.
Baby equipment on request. Access to the mill by a dirt road for 400m.
"Full fridge" option: we collect your groceries from the drive, and fill the fridge before your arrival (extra € 30).

Super Getaway
Fantastic away from it all stay in a beautifully restored windmill. Even though we were only 400m from the nearest village , the hilltop location gave a wonderful feeling of isolation from the outside world . Stephane our host was most helpful and accommodating . The property is totally unique over 4 floors with stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The custom made bed was extremely comfortable and the view without even getting up was amazing. The mill is well equipped , had plenty of hot water, a good shower and kitchen/ cooking facilities if you want to self cater . If you are a couple looking for a peaceful relaxing holiday I can't recommend Le Moulin a Vent highly enough.

It's on top of a hill, overlooking vineyards. Very quiet. Interesting building, renovated with an eye for detail. The host is great and gave us some nice tips.

I have never been so sad to leave a rental. Quiet and unique with amazing views. There is no wifi, which was a bit of a headache since we were having troubles with our US phones. Really wonderful place, we hope to return someday.

Wonderful place
Loved this quirky charming property which is well equipped with all you need for a great stay. Beautiful secluded location with magnificent views of the surrounding countryside. Plenty of places to visit within easy reach and the supermarket with fuel station are very conveniently located. Very friendly owners with excellent English. Helpful but without encroaching on our privacy. Loved our time here.

Wonderful experience
The windmill sits above the village. Excellent views of the countryside, but close to amenities, boulangerie and supermarket. The windmill is well equipped and thoughtfully designed. The owner could not have been more helpful. We have stayed in many gites over the years and the windmill has been by far the best. A very relaxing stay.

Really cool place!
This is a very unique property. It is very comfortable and peaceful. Stephane did an amazing job renovating it into a house. If we're ever back in Burgundy, I know where we are staying. If your idea of a relaxing vacation is a secluded property with songbirds (even real cuckoos!), great views, and uncommon accommodations, look no further. I would recommend a small SUV if you rent a vehicle. The track to the property driveway is a bit rough, but the actual driveway is fine.

Adorable windmill! Truly a treasure in the French countryside
Everything was impeccable! The windmill was perfect, so clean, so functionabke, very comfortable! The views were amazing and Stephane was helpful and so kind! His suggestions on where to go to eat, drink and sightsee made our trip even more fairytale perfect! It was a dream vacation. As a visitor for the US,we had very little trouble with naviagating through the countryside without knowing French.... when we needed help Stephene translated for us or had info at the Windmill in English to use as needed. The villages were quaint and welcoming— perfect!
