If you are in Bordeaux and need information on what to see, where to go, when, how, what tours,…read moreetc... head to the Office de Tourisme. This is where you will find most of the information you need. There is a special section for wine tours as well. They are open every day, and the staff is well trained to help you (they speak several foreign languages). Even for people like me (who live in Bordeaux), it's great to stop in and see what is going on in the city every month. The Office du Tourisme sells tickets to various tours! Have fun exploring the city!!

OMG. So glad we booked this hotel. Stayed here for three nights. We lucked out and got the weekend…read morewhere they offered free wine to people visiting their winery. Such a beautiful estate, rustic and idyllic. Outdoor poor closed for the winter but they have an indoor pool, sauna and their very own spa. Also houses a two star Michelin restaurant la Grand'Vigne-- which was ah-amazing! Would definitley make a trip to go back. And maybe bring friends.

If this sort of thing lights you on fire - you've found your place. Friendly service, great breakfasts, incredible wine selections at the bar and restaurant. My only regret is not enough time to have dinner at their famed restaurant!

I am in awe by the audacity of anyone leaving this hotel less than 5 stars. It is amazing and…read moreworth every penny. Let me start with the staff, because they deserve a lot of praise. I believe I emailed the hotel at least two dozen times with various questions about the spa, the restaurant, bike rentals, airport transportation and more, and every time their responses were prompt and helpful, including getting us a table at the restaurant even though their reservation system indicated they were booked. At the hotel, the front desk, bar, and restaurant staff were wonderful - friendly and very helpful. It helps, by the way, if you make even a modicum of effort to speak french - say Bonjour or Bonsoir (good day or good evening), say s'il vous plait (please), and say merci (thank you). In that way, you don't come off like an arrogant tourist. The hotel itself, as you can probably tell from the photos, is beautiful and no expense is spared for your comfort. The rooms are large and welcoming. The beds and very comfortable and the bathrooms and showers are great. We had a beautiful patio overlooking the vineyards. The back of the hotel has outside tables overlooking a beautiful courtyard as well as some lounge chairs to relax in. Pool looked good, but we didn't use it. Location is great. It's about 3-3.5 km from the village using a lesser used road/bike path behind the hotel (as opposed to the main road which might be a bit too dangerous). I would call it an easy bike ride, but its a hilly area and it's a bit strenuous to get there. Much easier on the way back. There are taxis, if biking isn't your thing. Melissa used the spa but unfortunately, I waited too long to reserve a treatment and wasn't able to go myself. But during her spa treatment, I had a nice time at the bar chatting with the bartender about French whiskeys and trying a few myself. Finally, our meal was absolutely superb. Besides a cheese plate (wonderful), some wine (from Saint Emilion, of course, and delicious) and a tray of small appetizers from the kitchen, I got the John Dory confit, which is a meaty white fish. It was excellent. One of my favorite meals in our 9 days in Bordeaux. This hotel spoiled me for all hotels in the future. I don't know why we would ever travel anywhere ever again but to Saint Emilion just to stay at this hotel.

If possible, sit on the top deck close to the front. Buy tickets on the bus outside the tourist office so when you see the bus arrive, get in line right away. The top fills quickly.
