The Stays

Lyla

A house for two, on the banks of the Serein

A few steps from the centre of Chablis, on the quiet quay that follows the Serein, Lyla is a characterful house made for two. Completely private, with its own walled patio and a small pool, it sits in the heart of the village and still feels tucked away.
