The house

  • Completely quiet natural area

The Orangerie is a spacious holiday home for max 5 people with furnished terraces in a private garden, from where one has a magnificent view over the park and the swimming pool is available within a range of 50 m. The building is equipped with every comfort within its authentic setting, where modern materials and furniture have been avoided as much as possible during renovation. Because of the high ceilings and large windows, there is a magical light that gives the room a very special atmosphere.
The" Orangerie" is a large room where, from the 19th century on, plants were grown and potted plants, such as orange trees, were kept during the winter. The Orangerie still has this function, but is now rented out from spring onwards as a gite. Small practical adjustments have been made for this purpose, without affecting the original character. All the elements that have been added to the space, such as lamps, garden decoration objects and the furniture are tailored to the character of an Orangerie.
In the main room, there is a sitting area with sofa, armchairs and front fireplace; a sleeping area with a large four-poster bed; a small kitchen with natural stone sink and countertop and some hidden a dishwasher, oven and fridge and, next to it, a kind of studio area, where to eat, work or draw.
A separate bedroom contains a double bed (140x190) and via a staircase a mezzanine is reached where a wardrobe, a single bed, table and chair are found. The gite is intended for 4 people, but can possibly accommodate a 5th.
The bathroom housed in the former boiler room contains a massage bath with shower, a toilet and a sink.
There is an outdoor terrace hidden in the vegetation with views over the park; next to the terrace is also a barbecue, so during long summer evenings you can prepare your meal outside. Of course, the entire park is available and everywhere you will find special places to settle down with a lazy chair among century-old trees to listen to the silence!
The (heated) swimming pool is not the traditional bright blue one, but rather a basin with a fountain, designed in the character and sizes (6x12m.) dictated by the surroundings. With its spacious terraces, loungers, lavender massifs and unusual trees, a paradisiacal setting has been created here where guests of the gites can find a divine stay with plenty of privacy. The indoor pool in the chateau is available when the outdoor pool is not comfortable enough, especially in early spring. The property's monumental entrance gate remains closed to all except guests via a code to park their car on the property.

The domain of Chateau de Prety consists of a beautiful walled park in which the chateau, the outbuildings and the heated swimming pool are situated. The outbuildings are probably the oldest remains of an originally Roman villa, built around a large courtyard. The chateau has been modified over the centuries and now has a neoclassical style from around 1850. In the outbuildings are 3 gites, separated from each other and with their own outside space. The chateau de Prety is situated on the edge of the pretty village of Prety. From the gite you can walk to the bakery in the morning to get fresh croissants. There is also a café, a post office and a very beautiful 14th century church. The gite is often used as a base from which to explore the area. The wine region of Bourgogne du Sud between Beaune and Macon is not only distinguished by the pleasant microclimate of the rest of Burgundy, but especially by the unspoilt landscape, consisting of rolling hills with vineyards, pastures and forests, interspersed with castles and medieval villages, where modern times have barely set in. It is a traditionally rich region, neither overcrowded nor depopulated. Especially the experience of space is amazing. From the gite you can reach Tournus by bike (available) in fifteen minutes along country roads along the river Soanne. Here, you will find beautiful houses, nice shops and numerous restaurants, as well as an abbey from the 13th century and two museums. A little further away, it is interesting to visit Cluny, Cormatin, Beaune and Chalon.

Restaurants, food & wine

Each village has a few caves where you can taste the wine and a restaurant where they serve a complete menu for less than 15€. For lovers, there are of course the big wine houses and renowned restaurants, such as Greuze and Aux Terrasses in Tournus.
If desired, reservations can be made for you, e.g. for the evening you arrive.

Activities

Besides lazing around, there are good opportunities for golfing here. At 15 min. driving distance lies La Salle, a beautiful 27-hole course and no waiting times. At 30 min. distance, 3 more courses can be found. In the next village after Prety, boats can be hired for a trip on the natural river Seille, on the banks of which you can also pick nick and fish, just like on the Saonne. There are chateau's with their gardens to visit within short distance, an ecological museum, a zoo, interesting markets, etc. But it is also an experience to go shopping in the beautiful city of Lyon and have lunch on a terrace.
In the chateau, a cooking-dining event is offered one evening a week. There are also possibilities for table d'hote.
