Set among the vineyards, this enchanting villa is an invitation to get to know Bordeaux in its most genuine form. We invite you to visit this private hideaway where sophistication meets heritage in the world's premium wine-making destination. This is an old wine farm transformed into a comfortable French retreat, while its eight hectares of vineyards and a 1,000-bottle wine cellar hint at its heritage as a Grand Cru Classé wine producer.
The villa (600 sqm) is a wonderfully renovated former farmhouse, boasting thoughtful design and exceptional amenities for an elegant and unforgettable stay. Built in 1908, the property was once a winery, with barrels kept in the current grand salon. It managed to preserve its rustic charm, with old stone and wood as essential design features.
Located in the picturesque surroundings of Bordeaux, this property oozes traditional French charm and refinement. Its stone facade and pastel-shuttered windows hide an interior that elegantly combines authentic charm with modern comfort, featuring vintage floral patterns, a pastel colour palette, and bright spaces.
The property comfortably accommodates 12 guests in its six charmingly appointed bedrooms, each boasting a generous size and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere as well as a private bathroom. Common areas are an enchanting combination of beamed open spaces and cosy corners, its country stone floors and oak interiors adorned with elegant antiques and flooded with natural light. The professional kitchen is a true chef's delight, and each terrace enjoys breathtaking views over the vines and surrounding valleys.
