Opening all the year

Description

This fabulous baronial Château is in the heart of the famous Bordelaise wineyards, nearby Saint-Emilion. Tucked away in a rural environment at the village's gates, you just have to drive 20 mns into the heart of Bordeaux or the International airport. Still surrounded by its own spring fed moat, it sits with its three towers on a small natural rise overlooking the Dordogne Valley. Built in the 12 th C., during the time Aquitaine was under English rule, then modified and updated during the 17 th and 19 th centuries, it is also reputed to be one of the « Black Prince's » (Edward of Woodstock, Prince of Wales) residences. This private château has been tastefully restored and decorated by the Bastide family to provide a delightful French luxury home with a high level of service. Refinement and comfort pervade the bedrooms mostly ensuite. A Royal breakfast and fine dinners (only on demand) are served. A very special spot for History, Nature and Wine lovers...
