Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was wonderful overall. The rooms were clean and well-appointed, although the bright lighting affected the ambience slightly. The service was excellent, with friendly and helpful staff, although one staff member was not very welcoming. The location was superb, nestled in the vineyards with a beautiful setting. The dining experience was mostly good, aside from being a bit pricey. The facilities were well-kept and enjoyable.
My stay at the hotel was wonderful. The rooms were presented in clean and comfortable conditions, and we even had a good-sized balcony with a lovely view over the vineyards. The service was extremely professional and friendly, making my experience a perfect 10. The location was excellent for exploring the area, full of gourmet restaurants to enjoy. The dining experience was a hit and miss affair, but the hotel offered various amenities to make my stay enjoyable.
The hotel offers large and stylish rooms that are presented in clean and comfortable conditions. The rooms feature coffee making facilities, and some even have a good size balcony with scenic views of the vineyards. The service provided was excellent with professional and friendly staff, although there were some instances of snobby behavior. The location is perfect for exploring the Bordeaux area and visiting the vineyards of Saint Emilion and Bordeaux. The dining experience, while average with a limited range of pastries, is set in a beautiful setting. Overall, a unique stay with a mix of positives and negatives.
I stayed in one of the best suites on site, which was well-appointed. The room itself was nice, but I was a bit disappointed to find a cheap plastic bath that flexed when I stood in the shower. However, the photos were accurate in showing the room without it.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were presented in clean and comfortable condition, with French balconies offering lovely views of the vineyards. However, the hotel seemed to have a limitation regarding the number of persons allowed in the room upon arrival, which was a bit inconvenient. The location was great for exploring the area, but it could get quite warm due to being enclosed without much wind circulation.
The hotel is a splendid retreat nestled in the midst of wine country. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully appointed, offering a view of the picturesque wine vineyards. While the service was welcoming and knowledgeable, the location, though convenient to many vineyards, felt a bit isolated from the main hotel. The dining experience, though delightful, was considered overpriced. The facilities, including the pool, were maintained to a high standard.
