A magical Château for holiday
rental in Burgundy
Space to gather. Time to unwind
Château de Burnand, a 14th to 19th-century estate, has been fully renovated, bringing new life to this former sleeping beauty. Set within a 32-acre park with 22 acres of ancient forest, it overlooks the village of Burnand with sweeping views over the valley. The beautiful interior living spaces blend historic features — French Renaissance painted ceilings, Burgundy oak floors, and fireplaces — with modern comfort, making it ideal for a relaxed stay with family and friends.
The 900 m² home offers 10 double and 1 single air-conditioned bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, plus a children’s room. The wide terrace, with its heated swimming pool, dining area, summer kitchen and barbecue, forms the natural centre of daily life. For larger groups, the optional Hunting Lodge behind the Château can also be rented (see details at the end of the page).
Hiking and cycling trails start right at the Château gate, inviting you to explore the surrounding countryside at your own pace. The medieval town of Saint-Gengoux-le-National is just a five-minute drive away, while Tournus — the gastronomic capital of Southern Burgundy, known for its Michelin-starred restaurants — lies only twenty minutes further.
Guest book
Absolutely wonderful and an amazing experience! Christophe and his family are great to work with and the communication was impeccable. I highly recommend staying here. Each room is uniquely beautiful and the entire area is gorgeous. My entire family loved our week and didn’t want to leave… Book this trip of a lifetime!!
Nicholas Mozea - USA
The Chateau de Burnand is magnificent! The views are spectacular — rolling hills and gorgeous scenery. There are hiking trails all around the chateau just steps from the chateau. The swimming pool is a great place to relax and enjoy the views. …This place is magical. The owner is a professional who makes sure his properties are well maintained.

POOL & TERRACE
Swim. Dine. Unwind
Overlooking the valley, the terrace at Château de Burnand quickly becomes the centre of life during your holiday in Burgundy. Days tend to drift here — from a first swim in the morning to long lunches and evenings around the table.
The space brings everything together: a heated swimming pool with sun loungers, a generous outdoor dining area with tables for all guests, a summer kitchen at the base of the tower, and a separate barbecue. A discreet sliding dome cover over the pool adds peace of mind and keeps the water inviting, even when the temperature dips.

*With regard to pool heating…
The pool is open from April through October, but exact opening dates depend on the ambient air temperature. For the heat pump to work effectively, the temperature needs to be above 15°C. In early April and late October, low night time temperatures may require us to switch the heating system off to prevent damage.
LIVING AREAS
Time together. Space apart
The living areas at Château de Burnand blend beautifully restored historic character with effortless modern comfort. Original parquet floors, exposed-beam ceilings, period fireplaces and fine wood panelling create warm, inviting spaces that feel both grand and wonderfully livable. At the heart of it all is the large, fully equipped kitchen with its generous casual dining area — the natural hub where everyone gravitates for morning coffee, lazy breakfasts, or planning the day’s Burgundy adventures.
The Château offers a spacious living room, a more formal dining room and dedicated spaces for games with the poker/chess room and the billiard room. Everything flows easily, making it simple for your group to be together or find your own corner, whatever the moment, whatever the mood.
