We were so excited to stay in the windmill
Our experience was superb. The accommodation had everything we needed and more. The views from the bedroom were stunning and on one occasion we were able to witness the full arch of a rainbow. Check in was welcoming and the surrounding area lovely. Thank you for letting us stay. A real iconic moment.

We had a fabulous relaxing 2 weeks at ‘Moulin a vent’, with spectacular views. Great place for exploring the local countryside, whether on foot or bicycle. Very nice market at Chalon-sur-saône and Givry. Autun, Mâcon and Cormatin worth a visit.

The windmill is an exceptional place to stay. It is stunning in every way, so well designed. A lovely welcome with a tour. Lots of local information leaflets. Bed very comfortable, appliances very good, well equipped, plenty of hot water and a very good shower. Loads of outdoor space with plenty of seating and table space. Supermarket within walking distance (about 1km) a local boulangerie in the village. So much to do in the local area and for those interested excellent running and walking opportunities. We really loved our stay here and would definitely return.

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.

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.

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!

The fabulous old mill.
We loved the area, the landscape, the villages, the atmosphere. We especially enjoyed the nifty rebuild old mill, the friendly welcome by our host, the view and the quitness. Still only 4 km from a great supermarket and 1 km from the village. Prepare for some walking on stairs and a rough gravel road the last 500 meters to the mill; we saw it as part of the charm!

Tolle ehemalige Mühle für zwei treppenfitte Personen
Die Mühle ist ein Traum! Wir waren Anfang bis Mitte April dort, vorher und vor Ort sehr freundlicher Kontakt zum Eigentümer. Merci, Stephane! Fußboden-Heizung funktioniert prima, Heißwasser auch. Vier Zimmer auf vier Etagen heißt selbstredend viel Bewegung. Das Bett ist einmalig und wie im Angebot beschrieben, ist ganz oben mit schönem Sonnenaufgang aus dem Fenster. Wir haben zu zweit prima geschlafen. Kleiner TV ist da, haben wir nicht genutzt. Runde Dusche, WC und Waschbecken sind eine Sehenswürdigkeit! In der Küche ist alles Nötige und mehr. Es ist sehr ruhig, je nach Wind hört man mal die RN, aber nicht störend. Möbel draußen sind da, die Holzsitzgruppe perfekt für Essen und Trinken mit einer wundervollen Rundum-Sicht, manchmal bis zum Mont Blanc. Radwege gut ausgebaut, e-Bike empfehlenswert 😎😛 Supermarkt unten im Ort, gute Restaurants in Buxy, Givry oder dann ins volle Challon. Wir können die Mühle nur empfehlen und haben die ruhige Zeit sehr genossen.

What a unique and beautiful place was created by Stéphane and Yvane. The old windmill is transformed into a very comfortable and beautiful place, which was excellent for our stay in January. The gÎte was well equipped as well. The view from the property and of course from the mill is astonishing! Merci beaucoup!

Nous sommes arrivés un mardi, accueillis par Stéphane, et ses enfants, Accueil super, visite du moulin avec Stéphane, les enfants nous ont fait découvrir le jardin, avec les papillons, les sauterelles et ce terrain sans vis à vis super pour se ressourcer, Le moulin, dont ma chambre est équipée de la clim, est juste parfaitement agencé et décoré, super optimisé, C'était l'endroit idéal pour notre séjour, qui fut trop court, nous reviendrons avec plaisir !
