Great spot to stay, clean rooms & friendly owners. Bedroom tighter than expected. Biggest issue was with Vrbo as had not sent request before staying for second payment / invoice & had not been paid, was rather embarrassing. Doubt if using again.

Peaceful and Relaxing
The mill is surrounded by water and trees so, despite the excessive heat during our week's visit, we stayed more comfortable than expected. The owners are both discrete and available if necessary and the location was very good to allow us to see the things we wished to see.

Lovely peaceful stay!
Wonderful hosts and very comfortable place to unwind. We enjoyed our stay after a busy Paris trip. The view of the pond and river that wind around the property is idyllic. Great way to relax in the French countryside. Having a washer and dryer was very nice after traveling. The house is very clean and well equipped with everything you need. My husband and I even played ping pong downstairs. Two fawns wandered in the yard to say farewell on our last day!

Amazing
We loved our stay here. Your stay is in a mill from 1738 that has been renovated in a manner that balances the uniqueness of the old charm and a modern aesthetic. We travelled with our seven year old and he loved it. The property is massive, there are sheep nearby, a spaces for bocce and long walks, a boat to go down the river and a whole number of other options Christine and Yves provide. The hosts Christine and Yves are incredibly friendly and really do a fantastic job making you feel welcomed. Yves suggested that we visit Vezelay which was not on our radar and we could not have been more appreciative to not have missed it. We loved the tranquility of the property for meals surrounded by only the sound of the natural environment and the central location for trips during the day. Definitely one of our favourite places. Don't miss it.

Absolutely stunning place to stay and relax
Beautiful tranquil place, stunning location by the water, all comforts provided with Christine taking care of extra little touches that make guests feel even more welcome. Christine and Yves are delightful hosts, always ready to help. They welcomed us with delicious dinner and drinks. The Mill is so quiet it's a perfect place to relax and unwind. And there is plenty to see and enjoy including the best of worlds' vineyards! After a busy day visiting local attractions it's great to return and relax with a cold drink on the terrace of the cottage. Beautiful surroundings, comfortable and tastefully decorated interior and lovely welcoming hosts make this place a truly special one!

Back to nature
Het water.. het geluid van het water.. de oudheid van het pand...de locatie onbeschrijvelijk mooi. Binnen in het apartement 3 laags!. Beneden grote ruimte om bijv je fietsen te stallen en op te laden. Boven mooie ruime zitgedeelte met heel prachtig uitzicht. Keuken alles erop en eraan. En boven heerlijk bed. Met het rustgevend geluid van water. Je voelt de oudheid hoe men vroeger bloem maakten voor brood. Buiten kun je heerlijk op het terras zowel boven als beneden in de zeer grote tuin met eigen grond wandelen en genieten van de natuur. Fietsen in de omgeving is fantastisch. Zeker met een e-bike. Grote supermarkt Auchan op 3km afstand. En dan de gastheer en gastvrouw. Onwijs goede en lieve mensen. Zeer goed engels ook sprekend. Christine en Yves, hartelijk dank voor het heerlijk verblijf. En hierbij nog mooie link naar jullie fantastische Franse parel: https://youtu.be/5jZEqtSwXv8?feature=shared Grtjes. Antonio en Jolanda

Little Paradise!
We fully enjoyed our stay at Rix Mill! The most difficult part was to decide if we just stay for a lazy day in this little paradise or to go and visit some of the interesting sites in the area. The Mill is nicely renovated and the site is a gem for everybody who enjoys nature. Christine and Yves are very welcoming and the perfect hosts. They leave enough privacy but offer support whenever needed. They also know the area very well and have plenty of ideas on things to do in Burgundy. Thanks Christine & Yves for sharing your little paradise with us!

Entspannter Aufenthalt im Burgund
Wir wurden von den Gastgebern herzlich empfangen. Die Ferienwohnung ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Das voll nutzbare Grundstück mit Flüsschen, Teich und Garten ist wunderbar. Freizeitmöglichkeiten vor Ort werden angeboten, z.B. Paddelboot, Fahrräder, Tischtennis u.a. Die Gastgeber haben sich während unseres Aufenthaltes auf ihrem eigenen Grundstück sehr zurückgenommen, um uns vermutlich nicht zu stören, was gar nicht nötig gewesen wäre. Guter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge, z.B. nach Vezelay, Guedelon, Auxerre (empfehle Spaziergang am Flussufer der Yonne vom Piscine Stade Nautique ins Stadtzentrum) oder in den Dinosaurierpark Cardoland.

Mühle Rix - Idyllisch, wunderschön und totale Erholung
Die alte Mühle und das ganze Gelände sind einfach nur herrlich. Den Morgen mit einer Tasse Kaffee und tollem Blick auf den Mühlenbach (vom Ess-/Wohnbereich) oder auf den Weiher von der Terrasse aus bzw auch direkt am Weiher sitzend zu beginnen, was gibt's Schöneres :-). Interessante Ausflugsmöglichkeiten in einer Umgebung von 45 Minuten bis zu gut einer Stunde (einfacher Weg), fanden wir, auch mit Hilfe der sehr netten Gastgeber. Einkaufmöglichkeiten wie beschrieben in ca 3 km in Clamecy. Vielen Dank nochmal Christine, für das vorzügliche Abendessen, es war total lecker 😋. Und ein weiteres Dankeschön an Yves fürs Zeigen eures Wohnbereiches und die Erklärungen zur Mühle. Hat uns wirklich sehr gut gefallen und war total interessant 👍. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit, die leider viel zu schnell verging. Viele Grüße Christine und Stefan

Wir haben die Gastfreundschaft von Christine und Yves sehr geschätzt. Die alte Mühle ist ein wahr gewordener Traum, der zum Entschleunigen einlädt. Als Ergänzung haben wir Ausflüge (auch gastronomische) in der näheren Umgebung gemacht. Dabei konnten wir immer auf sehr hilfreiche Tipps von C&Y zählen. Auch als wir ausgehungert ankamen, organisierten sie uns in einem tollen Restaurant einen Burgundischen Willkommensschmaus. Wir haben es in der alten Mühle von Rix sehr genossen, gerne wieder!
