Château Grattequina

The Château was beautiful and very well taken care of the grounds were breathtaking. The pool and the pool area were very clean. The hosts Were exceptional and went out of their way to make our time their special. In the end, it was worth the trip back-and-forth to Bordeaux for our planned activities. It was very special to return to this unique retreat. Watching the boat go by on the river while sipping wine and eating wonderful cheese and baguettes was also a big treat

We stayed at Chateau Grattequina from 20-27 October 2024 in a River View Room. The Chateau itself is probably the most beautiful place that I've stayed in thus far. This is evident from the moment you pass through the gates down the very long driveway. Everything about the grounds is relaxing and calm. We visited Bordeaux to take part in a few wine tours and this location was divine for us. The Chateau is not within the city proper which made it ideal for us as it was very quiet, peaceful and tranquil after a day exploring the city or wineries. Each night we were able to relax and decompress from the day. The breakfast was great not heavy and had the best croissants we had tasted. The dinner menu is not huge but that did not detract from the property as uber eats was always available. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We did not speak much French when we came but the staff were understanding and helped us to practice conversing in French while there. The views from our room, the dinning area, the sitting area, the reception area were all astounding. Our room itself was beautiful with two closets for our items a toilet and separate washroom which was massive with his and hers sinks, rain shower, and large tub. The Chateau is 20 mins from Bordeaux city centre by Uber which was very convenient. I generally don't need much where I am staying when I travel as I spend most of my time exploring but this was an experience for a reasonable price. It may have been a bit more expensive than other hotels in Bordeaux but being able to stay in this chateau is an experience worth the added costs. I would like to return in the summer at some point as there was also a sauna and pool on site that we were not able to access due to the cold weather.
