During the Corona period with local, regional, national varying restrictions, there could not be a better decision to spend a few days with our daughters on holiday in Burgundy. With the holiday apartment in Écutigny, whose owner is Christian de Bourhis, we had a lucky choice. The very openly structured holiday apartment, which gives you a direct feeling of domesticity, is also the perfect place for families with many children. With three different sleeping areas, two bathrooms, a spacious kitchen-living room, nothing was missing. The picturesquely dreamy looking holiday apartment, in a stone house that is amazingly cool and pleasant during the heat outside, had a particularly inviting entrance area, which was decorated with various flowering climbing plants on which different species of butterflies were feeding. The richly flowering farm garden with terrace behind the house is a place of peace and relaxation. During the day - if you are interested - you can observe a wealth of butterfly species and other insects and at night you are rewarded by a beautiful starry sky (thanks to the lower light pollution in this region). Christian was always helpful, always provided information on nearby destinations. He also speaks some English and German, for those with some problems in the French language. Besides, he also offers bicycles and can arrange contacts depending on your interests. He was a very pleasant conversation partner in everything, and also gave us some of his home-grown organic vegetables; as always, our 9 days passed by in a flash, and we are thinking of coming back here.

Well stocked with everything needed by the affable host. Better for a family than friends due to the bedroom/bathroom arrangements.

My friend and I passed a truly lovely three nights in Christian's Ecutigny cottage in late June 2018. The cottage is impossible to miss, being just off of the main road through town. Communication with Christian prior to and during our stay was great. Even though the weather was warm, the thick stone walls kept the cottage cool during the day. As we (sadly) left, Christian recommended that we stop to look at Chateau de Chateauneuf on our way to Paris and we're so glad that we did. It was a highlight of our time in Burgundy. I have no qualms about recommending the cottage in Ecutigny and would happily return for a longer stay!
PROs:
Wonderful, friendly, welcoming host
Excellent location convenient to Beaune and the delights of Burgundy
Quiet rural town setting with the countryside mere steps away
Cozy and quaint interior made us feel at home
Comfortable beds with plenty of bedding & pillows
Gorgeous exterior bursting with flowers and plants (late June)
All the amenities needed by self-catering travelers (mini fridge, cooktop, washing machine, WiFi, parking, plentiful maps & local guides)
Friendly local cat to greet us at the end of a long day sightseeing
Interior stayed cool during the heat of the day
Two full bathrooms (though only one shower was working - not a big deal for us)
Lots of room to spread out and not step on each others toes
CONS:
The one bathroom I used was built under the eaves, so it was a bit cramped for my 5'10" frame. Not a huge deal, just a minor annoyance.
The other bathroom's door is a barn door that was difficult to close & open.
The electricity is a bit tricky, with some switches needing to be turned on in order for other outlets to work. Again, not a huge deal once you know what powers which switches, so pay close attention to Christian when he walks you through at check-in.
The upstairs bonus area with 2-3 beds is somewhat unfinished but looked liveable - I'd suggest bringing slippers for walking around if you're planning to use that space.
Overall, we had a wonderful stay and regretted not being able to stay longer.
