We had a wonderful holiday in this rather Grand House. The pictures perhaps don’t do justice to the size of the place - starting with a huge stone staircase as you enter - across the four floors. We had a Group of 8 and certainly had space for more.
The kitchen is well stocked with equipment, the gardens huge and the pool is superb. The house sits within the village of Authume within walking distance of the Bakery, Pharmacy and Tabac (unfortunately the bakery was closed for a week during our stay). Then a short drive to the picturesque city of Dole, which has everything you could possibly need.
A couple of downsides that dropped the house from 5 to 4 stars, the main one being how poorly kept the garden was. For such a grand house, weeds grew through all of the Patio (outside the house & around the pool) and dead plants & weeds were left in the handful of large pots scattered about. A few euros spent on some colourful annuals and a bit of weeding would have made all the difference. The only other gripe was the state of the oven when we arrived, which looked like it’s not been cleaned in years.
Minor gripes, relative to the splendour of the property, which has clearly has some major investment over the last few years. Bathrooms, for example, are in excellent order.
Overall a great property, and one we would recommend.
