This magnificent 16th-century residence, still possessing all the elegance that its Renaissance architects so lavishly bestowed upon it, lies outside the petite village bearing its name, on 20 acres of wooded grounds, home to thirty free-roaming deer. Château Sainte Sabine is the very embodiment of Burgundian art de vivre. The building has retained its period woodwork, its French ceilings, and a majestic neo-Gothic fireplace. Venerable furnishings unearthed at antique shops, toile de Jouy, and prints from eras past give the rooms and suites the understated charm felt in the aristocratic homes of yesteryear. At Lassey restaurant, with picture-postcard views of Châteauneuf-en-Auxois, respect for ingredients and inspired culinary combinations set the tone for Chef Thomas Braghi's menu. These moments of wholesome fine dining enhance the pleasure of a walk through the grounds or sunbathing by the swimming pool – all making your stay at the Château de Sainte Sabine an experience of timeless tranquility. ...
