Where Clos des Chenevières is, in Comblanchien
Clos des Chenevières is a guest house in Comblanchien, a village in Burgundy-Franche-Comté surrounded by vineyards. The address is Rue Ferrucio Borillo. According to the listing, you are about 12 km from Beaune station and the Hospices de Beaune, which makes it a very practical base.
Several travellers stress that the location is central for exploring the region. For the airport, the listing mentions Dole-Jura, a distance that means you will need a car in any case. I would plan on a car for getting between villages, as with most country guest houses.
What the rooms and the house are like
The rooms are large, and that is what comes up most in reviews. Several travellers mention spacious rooms, very comfortable beds and, a detail that matters, a large walk-in shower with a separate toilet in each room. Another review mentions three rooms, each with its own bathroom.
The listing also describes a place designed for self-catering:
- The kitchen. Fridge, oven, microwave, coffee machine and kettle. One review adds a dishwasher and a large living area.
- Comfort. Flat-screen TV with satellite, DVD player, wardrobe and hairdryer.
- Wi-Fi. Free, according to the listing.
Some travellers describe it as a guest house, others as a holiday cottage for a weekend with friends. I see a house that can work either way, but I would check when booking what is offered for your dates.
The pool, the terraces and the garden
The outdoor pool and the terraces are the great asset of Clos des Chenevières in Comblanchien. The listing mentions a pool open in season, a well-kept garden, and views of the pool or the garden from the accommodation.
One review mentions two large terraces. Another describes a well-equipped pool, with a float, a ball and an outdoor shower, and very well-kept outdoor areas. Several people also mention the view over the vines and lunch at the edge of the vineyard. For me, that is what sets it apart from a passing guest house: you want to stay on site in the afternoon.
What travellers highlight
Reviews are almost all enthusiastic, and they agree on a few points. Here is what stands out most.
- The welcome. The owners are described as warm, attentive and available. It is the most repeated point.
- The calm. A family atmosphere and a restful setting among greenery.
- Value for money. Several travellers consider the rate reasonable for Burgundy.
- Breakfast. An older review finds it generous and very good.
The Google rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 reviews: excellent, even if the sample is modest.
What to know before you book
There are two criticisms, older than the bulk of the positive reviews. One traveller regretted that the pool is not heated and found the rooms modestly decorated for the rating listed. Another waited a long time at the gate, with a broken doorbell. A more recent review mentions new owners, so I would take these two comments with a pinch of salt, without ignoring them.
| What people like | What to know |
|---|---|
| Spacious rooms, large shower, separate toilet | Outdoor pool not heated, according to an older review |
| Very appreciated welcome | A poorly coordinated arrival reported a while ago |
| Kitchen equipped for self-catering | A car is almost essential |
Who it suits, and what to do around Comblanchien
I would choose Clos des Chenevières for a weekend with friends, a stay as a couple or a family, when you want a calm, green base for exploring the vineyards. If you are looking for a hotel with a reception desk and activities, this is not the right place.
Nearby, the listing mentions Beaune and its Hospices. To extend the trip around the region, you could also look at Le Clos de Mélanie in Flavigny-sur-Ozerain or Le Commerce in Tramayes, two other addresses in the same region.
Passionate about travel and about the kind of places that turn a getaway into something unforgettable. I love writing about hotels, country houses and charming hideaways, helping every traveller find the perfect place to rest and feel at home.
