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.
