Wonderful property. Very pleasant setting. Only 20 minutes from there center of Bordeaux. HOWEVER, do NOT try to drive to Bordeaux from this hotel. It took me more than one hour because of the horrible traffic, the oneway streets, the street closures, etc.. even with Gps.Likewise for returning to the hotel from the city center

Restaurant à refaire sans hésitation ms pas hôtel

3 araignées dans l'entrée de la chambre, du bruit toute la nuit (dommage même si l'hôtel n'y était pour rien : impossible de changer de chambre et pas de boules quies disponibles). Sauna ne fonctionnait pas bien : impossible de couper l'eau froide et ensuite eau bouillante. Partie hôtel : moyen mais partie restaurant à refaire sans hésitation. Nous avons eu de la cuisine de saison, raffinée, alliance les vins parfaite et réception parfaite. Vue magnifique. Dommage vraiment que l'hôtel (4 étoiles à priori) ne soit pas avec la même qualité de prestation.

Very unique, beautiful hotel on a special location that facing Bordeaux Center, and you can lying on bed or poolside or restaurant for beautiful sunset. No elevators on site, but they have staffs to carry luggage for you. There is a nice restaurant on site. The staff called and checked on us around 9pm, but then after 11pm, the front desk called and said one of the customers reported that our car front light was on, but the problem was they parked our car and they had our key and they asked us to go down to grab the key and walk down a very dark driveway to their parking area to check our car, that was a bit ruined our night.

The staff was great and the grounds are spectacular, with an amazing view of Bordeaux, but the hotel was disappointing- I booked this hotel because of their restaurant just to discover, with no prior information, that it closes Sunday and Monday, the 2 days we were there. They said they send me a notice, but I never received it, maybe because I booked through another party. The hotel is tired and old, and the rooms are not very clean, I have pictures of dirty bathroom doors, stained floors, etc... It was hard for me to climb onto the bed, it was so high, granted I’m only 5’2” feet. Hard mattresses, the room has an uncomfortable layout, with nowhere to sit near the bed and dark sitting area. I suppose it was a ground-breaking architectural project in its day, by Jean Nouvel, but quite frankly, it is uncomfortable, and the rusted iron outside is an eyesore, in contrast to the beautiful old farm house. I guess it was my fault for booking it, but I didn’t realize that it was so far from anything. There is absolutely nothing to do near the hotel, except some walks on some beautiful trails if you like exercise. They have a restaurant affiliated to the hotel a couple of minute’s walk, with bad service and even worse food, for the price. We did find a little gem of a restaurant a couple kms walk from the hotel, if you don’t mind the hike, with much better food at half the price in Latresne…you know where the French eat. Won't go back.

Sitio idílico, gran vista pero lejos de Bordeaux

Habitación muy cómoda con excelente vista a la ciudad. Tipo campestre, tranquilo con buena piscina y terraza. Excelente desayuno. Muy lejos de Bordeaux, si quieres estar cerca de la ciudad este no es el sitio, pues al estar al otro lado del rio, para llegar al centro te puede tomar hasta 30 minutos. Si no vas a cenar en el hotel, que tiene un restaurante catalogado Michelin, debes cenar en la ciudad antes de ir al hotel, pues Bouliac es un pueblo pequeño que solo tiene un restaurante y una pizzería.
