Château du Palanquey & Spa

Excellent stay that we really enjoyed. Great location, room and facilities. Wonderful and friendly service and, of course, lovely food and wine!

I went here with my wife, for 5 nights, to celebrate a”big” birthday and we were not disappointed. This is the most delightful hide away Chateau I am sure you will ever discover in Bordeaux . It is unbelievably tranquil, with the only noise regularly heard being the buzz of the insects, occasionally being interrupted by the odd tractor way in the distance. Melanie and Laurent are exceptional hosts and nothing is too much trouble. The location is wonderful, mingled in the vines , with rolling hills surrounding you. We were blessed with incredible weather, breakfast outside in the morning was fantastic, as was the one time we had dinner, cooked by Laurent. I will not recommend this to anyone, if I do, then they may not have room for my next visit and that would not be acceptable. We stayed in the Vendange Suite, which was roomy, although it would have been a little better had there been an extra cupboard for hanging dresses. The honesty bar is well equipped, as is the cellar. A lot of the food is home grown, its just delightful. Ther pool is a decent size and welcomed as we were experiencing 35 deg C plus temperatures. For a small place, the gym is well equipped, to keep you on top of trying to reduce the calories from all the great food you will be eating.

Best way to spend time in St Emilion. Chateau du Palanquey was a special treat. So relaxing and peaceful environment. Melanie and staff made you feel welcome and were helpful with tour and restaurant suggestions. Room was wonderful and the property was beautiful. We will definitely come again!
