A powerful fortress since the Middle Ages, the Ch\u00e2teau de Chailly in C\u00f4te d\u2019Or has today become a high-class hotel set within one of France's most beautiful golf courses. A must-see.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A medieval fortress softened by the Renaissance, the Ch\u00e2teau de Chailly is closely linked to the prestigious history of the Dukes of Burgundy. One of its lords was chamberlain to Charles the Bold and gave it its current appearance. After some vicissitudes and several transfers from family to family, its destiny took a turn in 1987 when a Japanese businessman, passionate about Burgundy, Yasuhiko \u00abMike\u00bb Sata, decided to buy it. Classified as a Historic Monument, the Ch\u00e2teau de Chailly was artfully restored, respecting the spirit of the place, to become one of the most beautiful addresses in Burgundy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

250,000 mosaics<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Life at the Chailly castle is nothing like the cold and sometimes austere spaces of the past. Today, a small hotel has taken over the premises, and no concessions have been made regarding comfort and quality of service. There are 45 rooms, including family rooms, junior suites, and castle suites. All are luxurious, adorned with fine fabrics, with an ambiance that is sometimes classic and very French, and sometimes more modern, where the Asian origin of the owner can even be felt at times. In addition, there are 7 cottages for more independent stays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guests can also enjoy the restaurant \u00abLa Table des Producteurs.\u00bb Here, Chef Nicolas Papin and his team prioritize seasonal products. Not to mention coffee in the Golf Pro-shop area, as well as a cozy, English-style bar, a bar for athletes, and even a tasting cellar to sample some of the wonderful wines from this Burgundian terroir with the ch\u00e2teau's sommelier. And then there's a curiosity: the \u00abCosmos Dome,\u00bb a space for reflection and meditation with sublime decoration and lighting, where the gold and azure mosaics and frescoes are said to have charmed a certain Dalai Lama who was passing through the region. Its Dutch designer envisioned a 5-sided fountain in its center to represent the 5 continents of the planet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

18 legendary holes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A few years after the hotel opened, the Ch\u00e2teau de Chailly was expanded with an 18-hole course that had been envisioned from the beginning by the owner. A course designed and built by Thierry Sprecher and G\u00e9ry Watine, who have over 50 golf courses to their credit in 14 countries. They skillfully incorporated natural elements from the ch\u00e2teau's park, including, for example, several century-old trees. The result is a lengthy course with elevated greens protected by numerous bunkers (over 70!) and water hazards. While the fairways are wide and the greens appear calm, it's easy to lose your ball! Watch out for the tenth hole and its water hazard, for instance. At holes 4, 8, and 15, the Rubillon stream lies in ambush. As for hole 11, its tee box is somewhat emblematic of the course, with the sublime ch\u00e2teau as a backdrop. But beware, this is not the time to be distracted, as another water hazard awaits you. In short, the environment alone and the spectacle offered by the ch\u00e2teau justify trying out this course, which spans 75 hectares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The post-golf experience here is no afterthought either. In addition to its heated outdoor pool and its fully renovated wellness area\u2014complete with a jacuzzi, sauna, and fitness center\u2014the hotel features a \u00abVin\u00e9sime & Charme d\u2019Orient\u00bb spa and a pool heated from May through October. The estate also features an outdoor tennis court. It\u2019s no surprise, then, that the Hotel Golf Ch\u00e2teau de Chailly has been ranked among the top 100 hotels in continental Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heading for the Burgundy vineyards<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As we know, Burgundy is rich in tourist attractions, and the Ch\u00e2teau de Chailly puts all the treasures of the C\u00f4te d'Or department within day trip range. This includes, for example, the Burgundy vineyards (C\u00f4te-de-Nuits, C\u00f4te-de-Beaune, C\u00f4te Chalonnaise, and Chablis), or renowned historical sites such as Fontenay Abbey, Flavigny Abbey, V\u00e9zelay, Ch\u00e2teauneuf-en-Auxois, Bussy-Rabutin Castle... And finally, Beaune and Dijon are just 30 minutes away. All these highlights can be reached and\/or explored on foot, by car, by bike, or even by hot air balloon (flights can be arranged from the estate!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
