As a special treat I decided to bring my wife to Bordeaux and stay in four star accomodation. The Image of Chateaux Grattequina was wonderful,both in the photographs and upon arrival. We are no strangers to large pretentious buildings, having worked myself in four and five star hotels in Ireland for the last twenty five years, my wife is supervisor... more

the hotel is new and more for receptions than for vacationers. it only has 10 rooms and feels deserted. also it is the middle of corn fields . was ok but for the price would not go back. more

The hotel itself is stunning and the Junior Suite (we had No 3) was very spacious, spotless, very stylishly decorated with a large balcony overlooking the Garonne river. There is also, unfortunately, a huge cement factory on the opposite river bank. Not noisy but a bit depressing. A car is absolutely necessary as there are no restaurants there or near... more
