Chateau du Palanquey & SPA

Beautiful property in an idyllic setting amongst the vineyards of St Emilion. The room was really lovely with views of the fabulous garden and the chateau has everything you could need, including a beautiful outdoor pool, indoor pool and spa and great gym with lots of facilities. A delicious breakfast with produce from the garden was served every day and meals can be arranged if wished but we took advantage of the proximity to St Emillion to try some of the lovely local restaurants and wonderful wines. The owners and staff are welcoming and delightful and on hand for your every need including booking us a private wine tour. Highly recommend a stay here! Thank you for a fabulous stay. Iain and Niki

We had a wonderful stay at Chateau du Palanquey. The chateau was beautiful with lovely grounds and a great pool. Our room was very spacious and comfortable, with good air conditioning. The breakfast was delicious, and the staff were so friendly and helpful. We used the spa for a massage which was great. Melanie also helped us to plan an e-bike excursion which we really enjoyed, and she made the plans very easy for us. The chateau was a short drive from Saint-Emilion with lots of nice restaurants and shops.

Wow what a place. I arriving thinking I was going to a chateau hotel but was surprised to find it was a chambre de hotes or B&B. It was such an ironic experience as I had visited a property the day before to buy which needed a lot of work and I was thinking oh no until I went to Chateau Palanquey! What an amazing oasis in a vineyard. I arrived in the dark so it was such a surprise to see the landscape in the morning. The facilities are amazing. The level of effort is astounding and I can see why they have such a high rating. Indoor pool, outdoor pool, sauna, robes, slippers, no detail left to chance. Designed to the highest level. It's such a beautiful place. I will definitely be back for the vendage! Melanie and her husband Laurent were delightful. I really appreciated the chat we had about restoration and advice they gave me. And Ironically we had worked for the same company but in two different countries. The world is indeed small. Thanks for an amazing stay.

Me. I could have spent more time enjoying the beautiful facilities if I hadn't been so tired from driving around France like a mad woman looking at properties. :) I would have loved to have tried the dinners too. Next time.

The location is stunning and so peaceful that you can't help but relax into your holiday. The facilities are excellent and they cater for everything you could possibly want, enjoyed a very relaxing massage in the SPA and the pool is excellent. We had the room with terrace which overlooked the pool which was well work the little bit extra, it also had a hot tub. Melanie the owner was brilliant with her recommendations for meals out and two excellent vineyard visits as well as an excellent host along with all the staff.

The evening meals at the Chateaux were excellent just a pity it needs a minimum amount of people to make it viable so its not available every night. The choice of menu using local ingredients plus the quality of the cooking we would have had more evenings watching the sun go down.

Piece of paradise with very friendly hosts who make you feel like part of the family! Great Food Made by master chefs Laurent and Malanie and served with love in the beautiful environment. Very pet friendly which was important to us. The whole property is decorated and designed on top level. It is also very clean and profesionally maintaned. Comfortable bed and quite area ensures great night sleep. We Had to be in Bordeaux region and we chose the best property and Best hosts for our stay!. We will come back for sure! Thank you Melanie and Laurent for great Experience! We hope to see you again soon! Love, Nana and Ante (and french bulldogs:)

Idyllic escape in the heart of St Emillion country side, surrounded by vineyards and rolling green hills. Wonderful gardens and facilities (pool, games rooms, spa, sauna, wine room, etc). Felt welcomed from the moment we got there. A wonderful overnight stay, a short drive into town. Melanie (owner) was helpful, reserving a table at local restaurant and wine tour (thank you!). Breakfast was served in the gardens. I wish we had more time to enjoy the outdoor pool

Nothing

Chateau Palanquey rests on the very edge of the Saint-Émilion appellation only 15 minutes from the village of the same name. A hilly landscape dotted with centuries-old farms, estates, and churches can be viewed from the approaching road and your window. At Chateau Palanquey the family proprietors have curated every space and moment of the guest stay. The chateau's grounds are meticulously groomed. The buildings were renovated beautifully. Public areas are generous, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. Rooms are spacious, well appointed, and climate-controlled to the guests’ desired temperature. The large beds are comfortable. Bathrooms have waterfall showers with luxurious linens. The chateau offered a full breakfast daily and a multi-course dinner during our four-night stay. The heated outdoor pool, spa—with massage studio, indoor pool, jacuzzi, and sauna—and gym were in top condition. Above all the hosts Mélanie and Laurent are gracious and knowledgeable hosts. Mélanie arranged for vineyard visits on short notice and recommended excellent restaurants. She also helped us avoid making mistakes with our precious few days in the region. And Laurent is a wonderful chef!

We honestly can’t think of anything we would change about the property.

The chateau had a beautiful view and location. Surrounded by vineyards. The area around the chateau had beautiful flowers and piping music to sit outside all day long. Indoor hot pool and outside pool to relax. Foos Ball and Billiards kept us happily busy when it rained. We also biked around which was fun. The chateau is very warm, comfortable as it offers every amenity needed. One felt like one was home! Melanie and Laurent are the perfect hosts. They make breakfast with so much of love. Fresh orange juice, freshly cut fruit salad, eggs as you like and Of course the French Croissants and bread to die for! Melanie went out of her way to book for our Covid test and a dinner booking in another chateau. We don’t speak French so she compensated for that. 🙏 We would love to stay here again on our next visit to Bordeaux.

Everything ...a beautiful hotel and location. Excellent attention to looking after us. Our favourite moment was having dinner in the garden under the tree and sipping the Palanquey wine. The whole dinner was superb. The pool area is beautiful and we only wish we had had more time to spend there! Great location for exploring the villages and wine cellars!

It was all fabulous.

EVERYTHING. Really, we loved this petit chateau so much. It like we were staying with family, especially with the super friendly, adorable yellow lab who welcomes everyone. I don’t know what what better- the food, the property with it’s awesome pool (which you need in the summer!), the room with comfortable bed and jacuzzi?! We absolutely loved this peaceful, refreshing, delicious and homey chateau.
