Relais de Franc-Mayne in Saint-Emilion: a great getaway in the heart of a prestigious Grand Cru

• 17 Jul, 2009 • Catégorie: Aquitaine, Gourmet, Historical, One hotel a day, Out of the city, Romantic

Saint-Emilion, a magical word but close to the heart of wine amateurs! Standing on the prestigious «Côte de Francs», an impressive Gironde-style house made of rock is keeping its eye on the infinite vineyards. A perfect retreat to experience the life in a castle and sip the finest Grand Cru of the region.

Behind the imposing majesty of these ancient walls, you will feel like the Lord or Lady of the “chateau”… Welcome to the Relais de Franc-Mayne. Authentic furniture, ancient chimney and decadent silk will graciously light up with the sophisticated light works. The rooms? A trip in the boundaries of the eccentric chic and design, an invitation to a dream sketched on the canary yellow and lime walls of the Pop Art room and the safari printings of the exotic African Lodge.

Pop Art Room

Beneath the golden ceiling light of the authentic dining room, we savour local specialties accompanied by the highly decorated chandeliers and roses. In the garden filled with aquatic essential oil, the natural swimming pool urges you to a fairy swim with lotuses and waterfalls. The enchantment continues in the underground where owners Griet and Hervé Lavial let their precious wines age. A unique chance to delight your taste bud and let loose the taster in you!

Rates: from 170€ to 240€ depending on the room (high season).
