PREVIOUS GUESTS WROTE.....: For Jane & myself this is our second visit to Tivauche. We believe it is a most beautiful gite in one of the most lovely areas of France. Jane & Alec, California. - We could not have asked for a more beautiful place to stay! All of our day trips have been great - Vezelay was our favourite, but the best part of our trip has been coming 'home' to this amazing gite, sitting outside with a glass of wine, enjoying the beautiful view. Scott & Christine, Georgia. - One of our best holidays ever. We could easily have stayed longer; there is so much to see. Andrew & Susanne, Surrey. - We have rented many gites across France, this being our first visit to Burgundy. Never have we experienced this excellent recipe of luxury, cleanliness and warmth to such an extent. Congratulations to you both. We hope to see you again. Heather & Peter, Devon.

Mr
The Farm house was comfortable and well appointed and decorated. It was16 degrees when we arrived and the Owner suggested we use the open fire which was very nice. Eventually we asked them to turn on the heating as the cold persisted. We had a very comfortable stay in an interesting and beautiful part of France. The peace and quiet, apart from the occasional happy dogs, was lovely. Fully recommend the House and the area.

Seventh Heaven in Burgundy
House was very spacious with all the mod cons but still exuded a real country feel. 2 large bedrooms, best equipped kitchen I've ever seen in a holiday home,extra fridge in the laundry and well sourced furniture just added to our pleasure . The gite is located atop a hill in the hamlet of Tivauche-le-haut. Panoramic views of the surrounding farmland and woods from the back garden only added to our enjoyment. Numerous pamphlets provided by our hosts allowed us to plan our daily trips at leisure. Would love to retire here! Congrats Jenny and Bill!

A pleasant stay despite bad weather
The house is situated in an agricultural area. The photograph gives the impression that it is a stand alone location, but the house makes part of a series of 3 clustered houses. It is a beautiful, silent area and the only thong you hear are cows or sheep. The house was clean and well equipped and it was a perfect place to stay with two couples ( early seventies ). Unfortunately the weather extremely bad and very wet !! One of the mornings my wife went done to empty the dishwasher, but on the floor was 1 cm. water. The heavy rain found its way into the house through the from door. The carper was soaked and we had job to make it dry. The open fire was lovely, but two days later just before dinner we received a second "gift " from heaven and the fight with water started again. We had help from Jenny ( Bill was om a trip ) and we survived. We think that a drainage pipe before the door is essential. Despite the weather, we had a good time there.

Idealer Ausgangspunkt, um die Kirchen in Burgund zu besichtigen
Das Objekt ist tatsächlich so wie es beschrieben bzw fotografiert worden ist. Die Heizung fuktioniert! Bill und Jo sprechen englisch, so dass wir uns leicht verständigen konnten. Sie haben uns wertvolle Tipps gegeben. Von der Terrasse/Wohnzimmer hat man einen freien Blick auf das Land. In dem kleinen Dorf gibt es mehrere Hühner und Hähne. Zum Haus gehören drei Schafe und eine Ziege. Wir haben die Kirchen in Avallon, Fontenay, Autun, Montreal, Auxerre, Dijon, Beaune und Vezelay vom Haus aus besichtigt. Man fährt ca. 25 Minuten bis zur Autobahn. Auf der Rückreise haben wir Sens, Troyes und Reims besichtigt.

Fabulous place in the French countryside
Jenny and Bill really know what they are doing! They have thought of everything to make visitors' stays pleasant and welcome. The place is beautifully set up, with the best equiped kitchen! I mean really! They even have petanque boules to play out front. They provide a comprehensive set of house instructions, and there are lots of brochures and information about the Burgundy region in the house. The back garden is lovely, with a nice covered patio and table for dining al fresco. High recommended!

An amazing month's stay in Burgundy- great location and hosts!
We will fondly cherish the time we spent at Bill and Jenny’s in Tivauche. Our goal was to relax and bond as a family, and our time at Chez Higgs helped us do just that. The farmhouse is rustic, homely yet modern and well-appointed for a family. It offers access to incredible natural beauty. We loved the beautiful vistas, sunrises and sunsets that could be enjoyed from the backyard or any of the multiple local trails. It’s conveniently located 15-20 mins from notable towns and landmarks in Burgundy like Semur-en-Auxois, Epoisses, Avallon, Flavigny and many others. Bill and Jenny’s thoughtful hospitality was the icing on the cake. So in a nutshell - we highly recommend a visit to Chez Higgs!

Gorgeous location, wonderful apartment and great hosts
Bill and Jenny’s place was a perfect setting to unwind and enjoy the beautiful countryside. The charming house had everything we could have asked for: comfortable beds, spacious bathrooms, plenty of storage space and the kitchen was very well outfitted. The little hamlet was always quiet and the surrounding fields were perfect for after dinner walks. A couple of nearby towns had all the supplies anyone would need. Bill is a lovely host and shared great information for day trips around the area. This was one of our favorite vacation rentals ever!

Fabulous experience!
This is a beautiful property, especially if you enjoy being away from the bustle of the city. Bill and Jenny provide a well equipped and super comfortable gite and couldn't be more accommodating. The weather turned cold for us, and the fireplace was cozy and charming. We hope to return again for a longer stay. There are many attractions close by that we didn't have time to visit.

Lovely few days in a stunning gîte
The property is beautifully decorated, with all the flair of Burgundy, and very warm and cosy for a November stay. It’s rural but still situated within easy reach of lots of Burgundy highlights, as well as being just 20 minutes drive from a TGV station. Very convenient all round and you won’t go home hungry, with all the delicious food and wine available in the area.
