Once Upon a Time in Bordeaux

Once Upon a Time in Bordeaux: Nouvelle-Aquitaine

Over the rolling hills, nestled between the grapevines, rests this enchanting 19th-century chateau in the heart of Bordeaux's wine region. Epitomising old-world romance experience an authentic taste of France while staying in luxury on an artfully renovated and fully-staffed estate. Set across 52 acres of land, the estate caters to sixteen guests across eight private suites. From the outdoor swimming pool to the tennis court, games room, and rows of wine-producing vines, live the life of leisure through the lens of the French from this countryside escape. We particularly love the period furniture and original fireplaces, which inject an extra air of splendour to the already lavished chateau. Find a cosy spot in front of the fire in the salon to curl up with a book from the home library in hand during the colder months, or take refuge somewhere in the extensive gardens overlooking the lawns and vineyard on blissfully warm summer's afternoons. The alfresco dining area makes the perfect place to enjoy chef-made meals tailored to your eating and drinking preferences. For the lucky soul who gets to stay in the master suite, don't forget to make the most of the master bathroom's sauna and fitness room. With the closest town being Creon (about a seven-minute drive away), you'll have a local bakery and quintessentially French brasserie within easy reach from here too. Not to mention the city of Bordeaux and the medieval hilltop town of Saint Émilion, which are both only a thirty-minute drive away.
