Chateau Tanesse de Tourny

We absolutely loved staying at this Château! Val and Enrico have a fabulous house! We loved the history of the house from Val and the renovations that he worked on himself !! We loved the wonderfully delicious food that Enrico prepared for us daily!! The rooms and accommodations were beautiful!! The hosts were so helpful in making recommendations and reservations when needed!! They felt like family!! Such a highlight from our France vacation!!

We are just back from a lovely 3 night stay in this chateau where everything was made with great attention to detail by the perfect hosts Enrico and Valentino. The rooms are large and clean with a mix of antique furniture and modern decor and the bed was heavenly with luxury bedding and fluffy pillows. Every morning, we were served a delicious breakfast in their blue dining room downstairs. This varied everyday with different homemade items. We enjoyed chatting with the hosts who were always there to help or discuss anything we needed but at the same time gave us the privacy we required.

Château Tanesse de Tourny: A Portal to 13th-Century Elegance and 21st-Century Luxury in Bordeaux Let us state this from the outset: We do not tread lightly when it comes to the quality of establishments we review. And the Château Tanesse Tourny earns its accolades in what can only be described as a harmonious marriage of history and modernity. A Journey Back in Time We embarked on our trip the way Marco Polo might have had he been armed, in our case we did it with a Ford Mustang Mach E, from Sixt, instead of ancient maps and sextants. Our electric chariot transported us and another couple into the lap of history—an ethereal 13th-century château that has passed through the hands of British proprietors and was once the heart of social soirees hosted by the Marquis de Tourny. A Labor of stewardship Meet Val and Harry, the present-day guardians of this historical treasure. Having helmed top-rated eateries in Italy’s Veneto region, these hospitality virtuosos undertook a three-year odyssey to rejuvenate the château. The end result is more than commendable—it's an inspired labor that breathes new life into a relic, transforming it into a sanctuary of contemporary luxury. The Pursuit of Ikigai With Val and Harry, one encounters an enviable blend of passion, experience, and results—components of the Japanese concept of Ikigai. You can book directly with these trustworthy hosts, who oversee a cozy 8-room boutique hotel that serves as a setting for an extraordinary travel tale waiting to be written. Tailored Elegance: Concierge at Its Best Our meticulously planned jaunt around Bordeaux’s wine scene was fine-tuned to perfection by our hosts. After listening to our plans, they infused them with their own expertise, securing us reservations at previously unexplored vineyards and dining establishments. It was a seamless blend of old-world charm and modern expertise, exactly what one would expect from a boutique château such as this. So, mark our words: A stay at Château Tanesse de Tourny is not simply a travel choice—it is a declaration of your appreciation for historical grandeur, contemporary sophistication, and unparalleled hospitality. When you venture into the Bordeaux region next, make it a point to pass through the ivy-covered gates of this elegant château. Your senses will thank you for it.
