    Very spacious, nicely furnished apartment in a central location. You can get straight into French life. Maïté is a very attentive hostess who provided us with good restaurant tips. A good boulangerie is within walking distance. Semur is a good base for many excursions.

    We loved staying at this place in Semur. Amazing views out the windows and a real sense of history. It is in a mainly pedestrian part of the town but you can drive to it to drop off your things. Parking is a short walk down the hill. Hosts were kind and helpful. Truly a charming location.

    What a lovely place to stay to visit Burgundy, or stay nearer home and explore the wonders of Semur and Flavigny. The apartment has everything you need and then some. First, the building and the furnishings are both impressive and comfortable. The beds are comfy, the bathrooms modern, and the kitchen has everything you need to cook any meal. It was very chilly outside a couple of our days there, and the apartment was warm. Maïté was an excellent host and her husband was charming as well. His paintings and treasures from their travels adorn the walls. We definitely hope to return, and we will plan to stay longer.

    A warm, friendly, helpful welcome from the lovely owner and a jaw-droppingly beautiful, historic apartment made this a wonderful stay that was sadly way too short - we could have extended it by a month! We cannot wait to return to this apartment later in the year - it has absolutely everything and it's bang in the middle of town with easy, free parking. Thank you so much for accepting our reservation!

    How often does one get to stay in a lodging whose outer walls were once part of the city walls? The apartment was amazing, right in the middle of things - everything was perfect. The town of Semur is the perfect launching spot for visiting countless surrounding sites. Our hostess was charming and provided everything we needed. I would go back in a heartbeat. Next time I’ll stay longer.

    We're travelled extensively throughout Europe and rented many apartments and homes. Maite's Governor's apartment is one of the best we've enjoyed. It's location is perfectly central within the pedestrian village and to a number of sights in the area. The second floor apartment is easily accessible by a stone, circular staircase that is in excellent repair, as is the spotlessly clean apartment. We would never have guessed it was built in the 1600's. It's exactly as described, photographically depicted and completely updated, large and very comfortable. We loved the apartment's orientation. In the morning, the kitchen, dining and TV room receive the sun and the afternoon brightens both bedrooms. This orientation also allows for superb cross ventilation which provided the apartment to remain comfortably cool. However, should the temperatures dip to the point where heat is required, the apartment has heat in every room, to include both bathrooms. Having both a bath tub and separate shower meets the likes of everyone. The very large kitchen, complete with large refrigerator and dishwasher, oven, microwave, four-burner hob was fully equipped to have a dinner party for 8. The beds were comfortable, the linens of high quality and the shower water pressure was great. We spent 7-nights here and could easily have remained much longer. It was that perfect in comfort and location. The added benefit are the owner, Maite and her wonderful husband Jean-Alain. They are so welcoming, gracious and helpful. They'll do everything they can to insure your comfort and enjoyment of not only the apartment, but the village and it's surrounds. Maite and her Governor's Apartment are the standard for other owners and rental agencies to emulate.
