Vergécosse is a most tasteful and unique courtyard development in the pretty village of Vergisson close to Mâcon in Southern Burgundy. It comprises La Forge (2 bedrooms), La Croix (4 bedrooms) and La Roche (5 Bedrooms). These can be booked individually or in any combination.

Enjoy the magnificent scenery and tranquillity that this region of France has to offer and relax with friends and family in the comfort of our homes.

Set in a peaceful location on the edge of the village with the most stunning views of La Roche de Solutré the properties have been carefully restored using natural stone and timber with much of the original oak roof structure exposed from within.

Each house has its own South Facing Terrace where true outdoor living can be enjoyed over the summer months.
Enjoy a dip in the outdoor pool or walk in the vineyard. Relax with a book or capture the moment with your digital camera or paints. Taste the wine and savour the local food. Pick up the pace with the kids on a bike ride or climb ‘les deux roches’, Solutré and Vergisson.

Guests may purchase our Vergécosse wines at our special cellar door prices!

Charmante maison avec très belle vue.
Gite très agréable et fonctionnel avec une très belle vue sur la Roche de Solutré et le vignoble. Environnement très calme et intimité préservée malgré la proximité des deux autres gîtes. Accès immédiat à la piscine très bien aménagée. Amy (qui parle français) et Matt sont très avenants et disponibles. Je recommande.

A fabulous little gem of a property with stunning views
We stayed for a long week-end in this little courtyard property and thoroughly enjoyed our time in the area. The vendage had just started and the fields were alive with grape pickers. We were blessed with good weather and so made good use of the pool and the sun-loungers!

Lovely stay in beautifully set up apartment in the heart of wine country
What a gorgeous place to stay! There are three apartments round a courtyard, each with private entrances and their own private terrace and bbq. The pool is shared but there is plenty of sunbathing space (and sun loungers) and this faces south (with a beautiful outlook) so it is as very sunny spot. The apartment we were in was very sympathetically renovated to a high standard, mixing period features, such as old wooden beams, with modern appliances. The village is small and quiet but full of character and completely surrounded by vines, and there were many vineyard workers tending their vines. Each village has its own restaurant and we ate - and of course drank! - extremely well. We really enjoyed the wine produced by the vineyard - delicious! All in all a fabulous place - we'll be back!

Great stay!
We had a warm welcome of Colette which is the concierge. She is really great! We enjoyed her support as well as her cooking very much! We stayed in La Forge which is a nice house. The only thing is that the living room, diningroom and kitchen is in one room so that there is not so much space with two children. We had perfect weather so that anyway we were most of the time outside. We enjoyed the quiteness and surrounding very much!

Clean, high quality finish with great character.
My wife and I had a lovely break on our own having been to Vergecosse several times before with friends or family. As it happens we knew people in La Croix and also got to know the Australian visitors in La Forge, something which seems to happen whenever we visit. We explored new walks, new restaurants and new wine tasting venues and had a great time.

Lovely propertywith in a beautiful landscape
The area is lovely and tranquil. The gardens at the vineyard are beautifully maintained. The swimming pool is a good size (although a little cold for a heated pool) and there are plenty of sun loungers. Nicky and David were very friendly and helpful. BUT..... The Forge proved to be too small for four adults and one child, especially when the weather was unfavourable. The settee and armchairs are slotted under the staircase -head room and leg room was a problem for us. It was impossible for us all to watch the TV at the same time (which was extremely small) or to generally relax. When the sun shone we were able to extend and make use of the lovely outside space. However there was inadequate shade on the patio for our 6 month old baby. Other properties have a covered terrace. The bathroom had a damp smell due to no ventilation. We were plagued with flies but perhaps this is to be expected in the countryside? Unfortunately we were not supplied with the choice of breakfast cereals as per the information, but we had taken some of our own. I would not recommend The Forge but I would recommend one of the bigger properties at the vineyard. We enjoyed Cluny and walking up the Roche. We were disappointed that many smaller cafes etc were closed - perhaps duento the time of year and the French holidays?

Two weeks in May in La Forge
This is our second stay in La Forge and it was good to see the small changes since last time - the vines which have been planted to grow over the patio area are really coming on and there look to be a good few bunches of grapes which will no doubt be enjoyed by someone later in the season. David and Nikki provivded a friendly welcome and were on hand each day for anything we needed. A day trip to Beaune by train from Macon Ville was a highlight - wonderful Hospice de Dieu and wine tasting in their cellars. Auberge in the village has new owners - very friendly, good French fayre and reasonably priced. Also open during the day for coffee/drink and now doing fresh bread each morning - perfect!

Sehr schöne Wohnung in herrlicher Umgebung
Sehr gut ausgestattete Wohnung, alles geschmackvoll renoviert, sehr sauber. Wir wurden sehr freundlich begrüßt und verbrachten eine wunderbare Ferienwoche. Der Pool ist sauber und gepflegt (beheizt auf 25°) Die Gegend bietet zahlreiche Möglichkeiten für Wanderungen, Besichtigungen und Radtouren auf herrlichen Radwegen. Absolut weiterzuempfehlen.

About the host

Hosted by John King

Host profile image
Vergécosse is a French company owned on a fractional ownership basis by a group from friends based in the UK. The company was formed to purchase the property in 2004 from the owners of the vineyard when they moved to a new home. We also purchased some vines at this stage.

Why they chose this property

La Forge while being the smallest of our 3 properties benefits from great views over the pool and is a home away from home. La Croix and La Roche are suited to larger groups and have terraces overlooking the pool and courtyard

What makes this property unique

Benefits include the opportunity to stay on a working vineyard and enjoy some of our fine wine.
