Great hotel staff, beautiful building and room.
Pros:

The hotel staff was excellent.

Cons:

The car pickup the hotel arranged for us was about 20 minutes late. It did not arrive until the tour guide kindly gave the hotel a call.

Excellent hotel close to St Emillion
Pros:

Beautiful property located close to Saint Emilion. Very nice swimming pool with sun loungers. Our room was very comfortable with doors leading to a nice terrace area with a table, chairs and loungers. Nice views over the adjacent vineyard. Excellent toiletries and towels. Adequate breakfast served in the main building. Good sized car park.

Cons:

The hotel restaurant is very busy. The hotel do not prioritise hotel guests. If you want to eat onsite you must prebook a table. That said there are lots of excellent restaurants a short distance away. The Spa hot tub is not hot enough.

Pros:

A beautiful hotel in a quiet, peaceful setting, it was a perfect place for relaxing.

Cons:

The hotel and staff were excellent, however, the sauna area was always dominated by one male guest who spoke loudly every day during my stay, and again when I revisited several days later, which made it less relaxing times. The hotel might consider adding a ‘quiet zone’ sign😅

The facilities were gorgeous and a great stay in the area, but the restraunt needs a new plan.
Pros:

Our room, a Junior Suite, had an excellent view and private terrace. The staff was excellent. We are especially thankful to the kind staff member who helped us with renting the Chateau's electric bikes. It was our first time using them and we are hooked. Riding through the St. Emilion vineyards was our favorite memory of our time in the Bordeaux region! We had a lucky sunny warm stay in early April, and even got a few hours by the gorgeous pool! We are celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and the staff put rose petals and towel swans on our bed. So charming! Best welcome ever!

Cons:

The restaurant was disorganized and very overpriced for the micro servings. The food was good, but not great. When talking to a nearby vineyard owner about the area's restraunts, they said that the Chateau restaurant had that reputation.
Very happy to have a gym, but it is the size of a very large closet. At one point, I wanted to work out and there were 3 people squished into that small space.
