Overview
Description
Charming and very spacious (250 sq.m/ 2400 sq.ft) restored Farmhouse surrounded by vineyards in the southern part of the beautiful, unexplored Beaujolais region. Swift access to the city of Lyon (25km - 30 minutes).In a quiet rural setting surrounded by vineyards, this extensive golden stone farmhouse is located just outside the beautiful village of Charnay-en-Beaujolais, while close to the culture, restaurants and history of the city of Lyon.
Set round a secluded courtyard, the house boasts a private pool in a picturesque 800m2 garden with panoramic views over the village, the Azergues valley and surrounding vineyards.
Four large bedrooms allow a comfortable stay for eight adults, while the fully equipped modern kitchen opens directly onto the sheltered terrace and barbecue for al fresco cooking and leisurely meals around the large outdoor table.
Three of the large bedrooms (2 double beds; 1 with two single beds) and a family bathroom (with both bath & shower) are upstairs, while the ground floor bedroom (1 double bed) has an en suite bathroom (shower) and courtyard access. Two of the first floor bedrooms open onto a large terrace with access via an external staircase to the courtyard and garden, as well as internal stairs.
The spacious living room and dining room are cosily furnished and open onto the courtyard. Thick stone walls and a quarry tiled floor keep it comfortable in the heat of summer whilst a wood burner in the living room can be used on cooler nights.
A pretty garden, complete with deckchairs and loungers, provides a quiet, relaxing outdoor space around the private salt pool (10m x 5m with steps). The pool is unfenced but fitted with an electric cover than can be closed and secured for full child safety. The pool and garden are solely for your use and are not overlooked.
The beautiful Beaujolais countryside is much loved by the French for its hiking, cycling and riding trails, while those in search of culture can roam the ancient streets of Lyon and discover its beauty and history. house, perfect for families, has been tastefully renovated preserving many of the original features (stone staircase and fireplace) but offers the comfort of modern living. There is nearby golf in Anse (10 minutes), tennis (by booking) in Marcy and a large lake for leisure activities (lake swimming, kayak rental etc.) at Lac des Sapins (40 minutes).
The house enjoys easy access from central Lyon (30 minutes), St. Exupéry Airport (45 minutes) and the A6 motorway (15 minutes).
In peak season (July - September), change-over day is, of necessity, only on a Saturday. There is more flexibility outside peak season by individual arrangement with the owners.

Hello Caroline - thank you for your generous review. We're very pleased you enjoyed the house and locale.
A wonderful relaxing break
By Russell Wait on 01-Aug-2026We had a wonderful family stay in this superb house. The layout and faculties were perfect for us. The pool was great and the panoramic views of the countryside were amazing. Well located and easy to find. Plenty of space inside and out. We are a family of two children, 5 adults and a small dog.

Many thanks, Russell. We're really pleased the house and environment suited you and your family so well and we appreciate your thoughtful review.
Peaceful, beautiful surroundings
By Robinson Family on 12-Jul-2025The farmhouse was beautifully situated and so peaceful - surrounded by vineyards. The house itself was well equipped, spacious and comfortable with the option of al-fresco dining (which we did each night!) as well as a gas BBQ. The pool was cold but refreshing! Only downside was there were only two sunbeds, two recliners and then some deckchairs but with six adults more sunbeds were needed. Shops and Restaurants only a short drive away but do look at opening times as can vary! The village is a short(ish) walk away but uphill with a couple of shops and a cafe. Lyon isn't too far away if you wanted a day out exploring away from vineyards and the pool. The area is great if you brought bikes with you to explore. Winetasting and vineyards are all local and during July we found a co-operative holds a Rose Festival every wednesday when you can taste the wines and they have a simple BBQ but it was great as mixed with the locals! A wonderful time spent relaxing, drinking wine, eating good food and playing games! Will definitely book again.

Dear Steve - thanks for your review. We're glad you had a good time and will consider coming back. Of course, you'll be very welcome. We've taken note of the suggestion of more sunbeds.
Comfortable home in stunning location
By Charlotte Bruton on 03-Aug-2024Our family of five had a wonderful time in this beautiful Beaujolais spot. The house is spacious and comfortable, and had everything we needed – including a gas BBQ for al-fresco dining and the pool, which kept the kids happy all day!
Beautiful house and pool in wonderful location
By Nikki on 27-Jul-2024We had a wonderful week in this beautiful house. So well equipped and perfectly cation for exploring Beaujolais, Rhone, Burgundy region. Peter was so communicative. The house is fantastic for 2 families (one twin and double are adjoining but the 4 children used those without any problem). The views are stunning. It's rare to find a holiday home that feels so rural and remote yet is within a short drive to shops and restaurants. Would highly recommend!
Extremely comfortable holiday home
By Hugo Arlman on 15-Jun-2024This house in the south of the Beaujolais has been an outstanding place for our summer holidays. Situated in the campagne, with vineyards around and amazing views on green hills. The village is a short walk uphill, with some elementary shops among them a boulangerie and a cafe. Lyon is by car or by train at half an hour distance. Lyon is a must with history, musea, and is a culinary hotspot. For bikers the house is an ideal starting point for short or long trips. And the same applies for people who rather walk. A guide to Beaujolais wine you can find elsewhere but we have to mention next-door neighbour, Jean-Paul Brun, a well known nonconformist wine maker. The house itself is roomy and comfortable. Well equipped kitchen, covered terrace, nice garden, good swimming pool. Large sitting room and dining room, four large bedrooms and two bathrooms. Decorated with tiles, nice paintings, books, large chairs and couches.
