This was our 4th visit to Patrick and Eric's wonderful home where all the guests are treated as personal house guests! We were welcomed back as old friends and hard as it was to imagine this visit was even better than the rest. The food is such excellent value and everything is so beautifully cooked and presented. They even served... More

We spent three nights at Carpe Diem in April 2013. We both wished we had spent more time there. Patrick & Eric made us feel right at home. We stayed in the Romaine room - very clean and well decorated with a very nice bathroom. Our breakfasts and dinners were the best we had while in France. Patrick speaks very... More

This was our second stay at Carpe Diem. It is ideally located for exploring the Bourgogne region to enjoy the sights and taste great wines. This time we selected the Romaine room, which, like the others, was beautifully decorated, very clean and quiet. Patrick is a wonderful host and a fabulous chef. We returned for the hospitality and the unbelievable... More

Even Google maps had trouble finding Massangis. Not a shop in the village, and the closest ATM is 4 km away. And tucked away behind a tall gate is Carpe Diem, a wonderful place to get away, relax, and set out to enjoy the French countryside. Created from a converted farm and 18th-century barnyard buildings, Patrick and Eric have made... More
