I don't know how they do it, but Stephane and Layla make every guest feel like family in the best sense of the word. The chateau and grounds are gorgeous, the rooms spacious and inviting, and the food absolutely superb. But what makes this guest house truly stand out are the warm welcome and friendliness of the hosts. Stephane and Layla spent time getting to know us, inviting us into their lives, and making sure our experience in their lovely part of France was truly spectacular. Thank you both so much for sharing your home and for taking such good care of us!

Chateau des Reynats

The two floors of the castle count 13 rooms, 4 of which are « Classic » rooms, 4 of which are « Superior » rooms and 5 Suites that lead to the main staircase and the elevator. All rooms have a different set-up and decoration. But each room offers you what you may expect (a large bed, a flat screen TV, a mini-bar, trendy bathrooms, bathrobes…), in harmony with an estate rich in history and regional heritage (old furniture, examples of regional themes…).

Perfect stopover to start your vacation in a relaxed way

Reviewed By tina k

We stayed at this wonderful hotel to cut our travel to the south of france in half. It was the best decison! The location is dreamy and so quiet, the food and drinks at the restaurant are just wonderful and the staff lovely and helpful. You can't start your vacation in a more "tranquillle" way. Special mention for the breakfast: local meats and cheese and homebread breads, brioches and pain perdus. It was absolutely delicious!

Incredible Wedding Experience

Reviewed By juliac46

We had our wedding here in August, and the entire event exceeded our expectations. The staff was great with helping us coordinate everything leading up to the wedding, especially with constant changes due to Covid. During the event, the service staff were attentive and friendly -- a number of our guests complimented them on this. The food was delicious. We had a barbecue the night before the wedding, which was a great way to kick off the wedding events. The food during cocktail hour and the dinner were fantastic. Everything was served warm and tasted just as good as it had during our tasting. We had to make some last minute changes due to weather, but everything worked out just fine in the end. The domaine is breathtaking, and even our inside ceremony space was beautiful. Our guests enjoyed all aspects of staying on the domaine, including all of the available activities. Most guests were there for 2-4 days, and everyone kept busy with tennis, swimming, the spa, etc. We highly recommend Domaine d'Essendieras for a wedding, or even a little vacation. We will definitely be visiting in the future.

Ravishing Retreat in the Dordogne

Reviewed By bouvier1

Imagine how lucky we felt in the latter part of last year to discover this magical castle in the middle of a sea of vineyards. We came to the region expecting beauty but this exceeded ALL of our expectations. Very private but enough to do for a family of four. We bought groceries at a nearby supermarche for breakfast and then dined in Bergerac most days. At night we toured as many of the Marches Nocturnes as we could find, and especially enjoyed those at Issigeac and LaMonzie-St Martin.

La France Chambres Dhotes

Stunning!

Reviewed By Guilhem D

We stopped at Chateau la France by chance for an overnight stay. The guest rooms were large, comfortable, modern. Access to a jacuzzi/sauna was a big and positive surprise. Yet, this is really isolated and you need to drive 7km to have diner. So, may not be for all, but for our family of 5, this was a great experience. Kids and adults loved the whole thing. The host was kind enough to give us a tour of the property, the cellar, ...etc. Planning to go back this summer.

Chambres d'hotes du Chateau de Leognan

The Chateau is nestled in the rural landscape of Leognan amongst vineyards and horses. The chateau has four luxurious ensuite bedrooms, which are all individually designed and decorated to a very high specification, offering comfort and privacy. Come and discover this haven of peace near Bordeaux, especially our restaurant Le Manege open every day for lunch and diner.

Great B&B

Reviewed By Roel R

Usually when I am on a business trip in the region I go to one of the hotels south of Bordeaux but this time we end up for three nights in the Chateau de Léognan were we had all 6 rooms. Each room is very different in decoration as the pictures already show. The welcome is very warm and pleasant. We loved the breakfast area were we also gathered after the dinner before going to our rooms. There is free WiFi. Breakfast is simple but for me very suitable to start the day : baguette, jams, yoghurts, croissants and chocolate rolls. We got cheese on demand. Besides the Nespresso there is great very strong coffee and plenty of juices. There is a restaurant on the property, the Manege where they serve wine from the chateau. I liked the cosy atmosphere of the B&B and liked the quietness of the location. I will definitely go back during one of my next business trips.
