A masterpiece of art, architecture, and service — serene luxury surrounded by world-class gardens an
Pros:

A magnificent and truly luxurious estate featuring exceptional art, design, and architecture.
The gardens, landscape, and overall setting are masterfully planned and incredibly serene.
Service was world-class — warm, personal, and genuinely caring — and the wine-tasting experience was both cosy and elegant.
One of the best restaurants in the world (La petite Colombe) is located right within walking distance on the estate.

Cons:

Some nearby maintenance work was a bit noisy during the day and could have been scheduled at a different time.
