What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
In the center of town, a century-old house built by the personal chef of Austria’s last emperor is now a pocket-sized guest house — the chic, modern four-room Maison Tandem.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Cluny's medieval abbey and the market square are a short stroll away, with loaner bikes on hand for the Voie Verte.
The rooms
Three bedrooms occupy the main house. A separate garden outbuilding has its own terrace and a bathtub.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated pool sits in the south-facing walled garden, surrounded by a wooden sun deck and loungers.
Restaurant
salon and dining room
Breakfast is served around a communal table beneath a sculptural chandelier, surrounded by contemporary paintings.
How it began
The personal chef to Austria's last emperor built the residence in 1903. Later, it served as a local doctor's practice.
