With immediate access to world-class wines, beautiful scenery, rich history, and epicurean delights, the visitor need look no further for a complete Burgundian vacation than Villa Delphinus.

Lovely house, especially the comfy bedrooms and the superb pool, trampoline and other play facilities. We particularly enjoyed the massage and facials that Julie the beautician gave us on Tuesday. Also the wine tasting evening with François was great fun (the combination of good wine, François's english and our french kept everyone very happy !!). Beaune is a good day out too. Many thanks for a good family holiday.

We have had an excellent holiday here at the Villa. Facilities are wonderful. The swimming-pool was appreciated by everybody from the youngest grandchild (4 months) to the grandparents. Tabletennis, petanque, swings, football and trampoline were all well used as was the playstation. The welcome from the owner was excellent and we found many of your suggestions and recommendations very helpful. An excellent base for touring the vineyards, and we were really blessed with the weather.

Thank you for a wonderful stay at the Villa! All twelve of us had a fantastic time in the pool, playing football + ping-pong + boules and grilling pizzas on the outdoor grill ! The villa was the perfect home base for all of our excursions, and we got a lot of use out of the bikes. We are thinking of installing our own steam room back home... Thanks again !

SB, USA

Our group of 10 had a fabulous week here at the Villa. The house was fantastic, comfortable, attractive and in a very peaceful setting. From here we were able to explore the vineyards of Cote d'Or, of Château-Chalon and Dijon. And relaxing at the end of each day around the pool and the petanque court was a great way to wind up each day. Thank you Christophe for giving us everything we needed to have a superb week, and we hope to come back soon.

Excellent stay at Villa! One of the best holidays we can remember . Peaceful, stylish and well furnished throughout. The pool was enjoyed by all, particularly our daughter and her friend from Paris. We will return.
