This was an amazing place to stay in Paulliac!!! It was quite expensive, but it included a dinner…read morepackage at Cafe Lavinal, and a wine tasting at Lynch Bages, where my husband wanted to do wine tasting anyway. It was located so close to every winery on the Left Bank, so extremely worth it for location purposes alone. We could have saved by staying in Bordeaux for all 3 nights of our wine tasting excursion, but honestly it was worth not having to drive 1 hour to Left Bank, wine taste all day, and drive another 1 hour back. You want to enjoy your time in Paulliac!! The hotel itself was so charming though! There were several living room areas that you could relax in, a swimming pool, and even a small vineyard area with tables and service should you want something small to eat. It was extremely relaxing, and although there really is nothing to do on the Left Bank except wine tasting, it would have been nice to stay another day to enjoy this beautiful and charming hotel. Our room was very modern and cute. The swimming pool had plenty of lounging chairs - wish we had time to retreat here, but we simply didn't have the time. The service was so amazingly sweet and genuine here!!! The front desk attendant was so accommodating for us. We told her that we had an early train in Bordeaux at 7:45am, and she gave us helpful information on suggesting when to leave. Also, because of our early check out time, she offered to have breakfast and coffee ready take-away for us! When we checked out at 6am the next morning, we could smell the coffee when we walked in the hallway down to the lobby, and the breakfast pastries were ready prepared for us in a box, and the box was WARM and the croissants were delicious!!!! Wow. I wish we could have stayed a little longer to enjoy the real breakfast. Take me back!!!!!!

In the heart of Pauillac AOC, we splurged for one night at Chateau Cordeillan Bages…read more Kind service, large rooms, and proximity to the best Chateaux in Pauillac. The nice pool and the well-equiped gym (opened for one customer at a time during COVID) were good additions to an otherwise flawless stay. The restaurant only serves breakfast, the main restaurant is 500m away in Bages, "Cafe Lavinal", for elaborate lunch and dinner.
