The chateau is ideally situated on the outskirts of Saint Emillion. The grounds and the chateau itself are very impressive and the room we got upgraded to on our arrival was excellent - very spacious with large bathroom containing large bath and rain shower. The spa is a bit small but is nicely done out and we had the excellent... more

We visited this hotel on the third stop for four nights on a tour of the Languedoc to Bordeaux area. This was easily the most expensive hotel of our holiday – breakfast were particularly pricey at EUR24 per person per night. The hotel is easy to find on the main road between St Emilion and Libourne. On arrival the staff... more

My Husband and I stayed at Chateau Grand Barrail for one night on our way to Sarlat and The Dordogne coming from Paris and Bordeaux. We loved Saint Emilion but not this hotel. We were staying in 4 luxe and 5 star hotels in France and are discriminating travelers but with realistic expectations. The location is beautiful, in the heart... more

A perfect location, large spacious & more than comfortable rooms within a few feet of the vineyards! Within 5 minutes of the town of St. Emillion, this grand hotel spread over a few acres of land with spectacular surroundings was the perfect choice. Extremely friendly & most helpful staff & super service in a lovely ambience makes it a perfect... more

Make no mistake, from the outside this is a beautiful hotel. When we booked they made it clear the hotel was being taken over and the restaurant was closed for rennovations. Which was fine as we were going to eat in the (fantastic) Hotel Pleasance in St Emilion. What we didn't expect was a total lack of room service. We... more

Having read recent reviews of this hotel, I was worried that I would be disappointed. Fortunately, this was not the case. We stayed for 2 nights booked on a 'Fall package' booked directly through the hotel's website. This constituted a 2 night stay with breakfast and a trip to a Chateau included. It also included a 30 minute spa treatment... more

We stayed at this hotel having stayed at Les Sources des Caudelie and Chateau Mirambeau the week before. The hotel trades on its close proximity to the town of St Emillion but I can not understand how it has achieved its rating or its inclusion in Michelin and SLH. The external grounds are sterile, lacking plants, shrubs or colour and... more

My wife and I stayed here on our honeymoon for one night as a stopover on the drive down to Cannes from Ile de Re. When you first arrive, the hotel appears magnificent, with lovely views, modern recpetion. We had been driving for 3 hours and I was in shorts. We arrived before 2pm and our room was not ready,... more

Room was average (Room 325), it was in the Annexe and pathway there could do with a good clean and rainwater collected on the walkway outside the rooms. No one explained the facilities available and meal in the restaurant was OK certainly not great. Sommelier was distinctly unfriendly and wine menu said they would not take responsibility for the wines-have... more
