Pros:

Beautiful hotel and grounds. The room was very clean and comfortable. You need transport to get to the surrounding villages but if you drive there is a car park at the chateau or the staff will help you organise a taxi easily. The restaurant was great with a fantastic menu. Would recommend.

Overall an an amazing stay but breakfast could be improved
Pros:

Beautiful grounds
Amazing touches e.g. signature scent, beautifully maintained gardens
Turndowns with treats on the pillow
Amazing restaurant

Cons:

Breakfast fell short of expectations for a 5* hotel - service very slow and got orders incorrect despite multiple clarifications, coffee was some of the worst we’ve had at any hotel, fruit was mostly from tins (not fresh)

Pros:

Ubicación, instalaciones.

Mala comunicación entre Booking y el anfitrión, ya que el anfitrión me dijo que no solicitamos toallas, a pesar de que booking no nos daba la opción de solicitar toallas.

Très bel hôtel aux portes de St-Emilion
Pros:

Magnifique hôtel avec piscine et petit spa. Très belle carte des vins et plats raffinés au restaurant.

Cons:

Choix un peu limité pour les plats du restaurant, avec une carte qui présente les mêmes plats que ceux offerts dans les 3 menus.

We loved the Chateau and its location. C’est magnifique!

The hotel was spectacular in every way just what we’d hoped for this special location. Our room was beautiful, as were the spa and grounds and our dinner in the main restaurant was excellent. All in all 10 out of 10.

Cons:

Nothing

Beautiful property but ….
Pros:

A truly beautiful property wonderfully restored and located very close to the charming town of Saint-Emilion in the highly rated wine growing region.

Cons:

We found the service and attention to detail sadly lacking, the food tasteless and disappointing given the high prices charged. The staff need better training and supervision and a more humble approach to the guests.

Pros:

建物が素晴らしく、周りの環境も良かった

Cons:

ディナーが出てくるのが非常に遅く、前菜が出てくるのに1時間ほど待たされ、メインは2時間ほど待たされた。他のお客さんも同様だった。新人が多く、改善の余地がある。
