Welcome to La Villa Lombardi
Discover our 4-star vacation rental in the heart of the mythical champagne village of Les Riceys.
The Villa
It was in 1683 that this building was constructed to become the Monastery of Les Riceys. The central role of the monks in the history of wine is well known, whether it be in Burgundy, Champagne, or elsewhere. Both quality wine as well as “vin de soif” (thirst wines) were needed in sufficient quantities at the monastery, with marketable surplus whenever possible, so as to meet financial demands of the nearby abbey of Molesme. It was during the French Revolution that the monks were expelled and their property sold, after which this house would remain the property of a well-to-do family of wine merchants and vineyard owners until 1854. Today, La Villa Lombardi, now vacation rental, will complete its renovations started in 2019, combining tradition and modernity in the image of Champagne Lombardi, the current owner.
