This hotel is in the middle of the vineyards so the food options are either eating at the hotel or going to an nearby city for meals. But the options in Saint Emilion are great and it's a beautiful old city. Labourne is a more modern city and is wonderful on Market day. The hotel itself is wonderful and comfortable...

Loved the property but disappointed that we were unable to eat in the restaurant in the evening as we were residents of the hotel. On the first night the wine bar was outside on the grass which was lovely but the second night it was in a smaller space and not exactly up to the standard we would have liked so we went out of the hotel to eat. Everything else was lovely.

Lovely hotel outside of St. Emilion. The restaurant is exceptionally good; the staff are very attentive and will go out of their way to make the stay better. The hotel amenities are also good (a lovely pool). The downside is the limited shuttles in to St. Emilion - given the distance from St. Emilion these should be more regular.

I recently stayed in the “Executive Room with Castle View”—and it was one of the most misleading, mediocre experiences I’ve ever had. Musty Odor The lobby and my room reeked of damp and mildew. At a five‑star property, I expected fresh, clean air, not a scent that suggested months without proper ventilation. Spa View, Not Castle I paid extra for a “sweeping castle vista with a moat and swan.” Instead, my window faced the spa: frosted glass walls and noisy steam rooms—no stone walls, no moat, no swan. False Advertising The online photos feature a serene pond and swan that simply don’t exist. That’s not a minor detail—it’s deceptive marketing that ruined any sense of romance. Restaurant Fiasco Despite boasting an on‑site restaurant, the hotel turned away its own guests at dinner. We were left with a tiny snack nook and a handful of bar stools. A five‑star hotel should never treat guests like afterthoughts. Friendly Staff, Flat Experience Yes, the front‑desk and bar staff were polite—but kindness can’t compensate for a musty room, misleading views, nonexistent amenities, and no proper dinner seating. Bottom Line: If you value honesty, genuine views, and basic courtesy (like a dinner table), look elsewhere. This property trades on fantasy images and delivers only disappointment.
