Le Clos Sainte-Marguerite

Fantastic, private, quiet getaway Wonderful place and location. Great breakfast, superb staff, we were so happy we didn’t want to leave.

Delightful stay in the center of Beaune Beautiful building and courtyard. Room was spacious and decorated lovely. Bedding was so comfy. Location was ideal. Estelle was a delightful hostess, and Arnaud took very good care of us at breakfast and beyond.

This is my fourth stay in Beaune and fourth visit to this hotel. I have always loved this place. I write a new review now because it is under new ownership now. It used to be run by the Fatien family. Now Estelle has bought it and the name is both “Chez les Fatien” but also “Clos de saint-marguerite” I was nervous because I thought maybe the hotel would change in a bad way, from its small hotel charm. But do not worry. It is as charming and her upgrades are only making it better. They now have 5 rooms, and all rooms have AC (which it did not have before!). Given the rising temperatures everywhere, having AC is good especially in some of the higher rooms. The lines are beautiful, the Nuxe items in each room are lovely French treat to your skin, and the breakfast remains outstanding. Estelle and her staff are wonderful. If you need too much attention, then this is not the place for you. It isn’t a hotel where there is someone there every second. As it has just 5 rooms, they are there for check in and check out, and breakfast, of course. But you have privacy most of the time which I really appreciate. The gorgeous courtyard has lovely bistro tables and we had bread and cheese there with wine, many evenings. They treat you like family. There is a honor bar in the dining room so you can take wine that you like and just write your name down so it will be on your bill when you leave. We got soaked in the rain one day biking and our clothes and shoes were absolutely dripping. They offered to throw our stuff in the dryer. That would not happen in big hotels! Also they helped us get our luggage to the train which was so kind. Beaune is my happy place, and in large part it is due to this sweet, romantic hotel. Estelle will continue to make it spectacular with her touch!

Great stay and breakfast

Also known as Le Clos Sainte Marguerite, it's an incredible bed and breakfast in old-town Beaune. The space is exquisite and our room was absolutely charming. A wonderful blend of historic authenticity with beautiful finishes. Quiet and romantic, the hosts Estelle and Arnaud are excellent. The breakfast is spectacular, and the affiliated restaurant, Caves Madeline, is quintessential Burgundy.

We had such a great time here! Arnaud took care of our dinner reservations and made sure that we had everything we needed during our entire stay. We’re already looking to make our next trip.
