We had the most amazing stay here. The rental unit itself was lovely, with a quiet location in the country, but still near to a store and bakery. Our children loved the pool, especially during hot days. Our hosts were very accommodating, and Jean Luc provided a thorough explanation of the region and nearby sites. He also offered a wine tasting that was exceptional. We hope we can return with family and friends in the future!
Wonderfully clean and spacious property with everything that you could possibly need.
The family who live onsite were warm welcoming and gave us lots of local information.

Bonjour Julian, Thank you for your nice message and for taking such good care of our holiday house. Kind regards

Our one week stay was excellent. Not only was it enjoyable to be staying in a working vineyard/winery but the location was easily accessible to the city and numerous areas of interest. The hosts were very approachable and helpful with visitor information and the accommodation was excellently presented. We rate the property as suitable for a two week plus stay.
We had a great Family holiday at le Relais. The house is ideally situated on the edge of a quiet village. There is a great bakery and mini supermarket, plus Pharmacy in St Caprias de Bordeaux. Another 5-10 minutes there's a number of supermarkets. The house has everything you need for home away from home, the mozi screens were also a great help! The Kitchen has everything needed, plus a washing machine and a great Nespresso! The beds are comfy, the bathrooms are great, the showers powerful. You can stay by the house for some rest & calm, then have a sit around the lovely pool area shared with the other very considerate guestsThe owners live on site which is a real help, they are full of information about the site but also about local places to visit, it really enhanced our holiday! We visited Bordeaux on several days, we also explored local castles, markets, coastlines and lakes! The added use of the bike store on site was also a nice touch!Tasting the owners wine and having one of the most informative wine tastings I have ever had was great, even my kids were asked to attend!I would whole heartedly recommend this property to anyone who wants to explore the region but also wants to relax and do things at there own pace.
Lovely guesthouse on a beautiful property within a short drive to gorgeous villages and fabulous restaurants. The house was super clean and had more than the usual kitchen supplies. Bathrooms were large and comfortable, as were the beds.
The hosts were super friendly and helpful, and we have absolutely no complaints about our stay.

A super visit. The house is comfy and spotless. Kitchen was well supplied with all the cooking equipment we could wish for. We rearly enjoyed the wine tasting, and local oysters. Such great hosts. we look forward to visiting again.
What a wonderful opportunity to stay at a working vineyard and have the winemaker give us a tour and tasting! Thank you to the Rives family for all of your travel tips and hospitality. The cottage is a lovely renovated property that was incredibly peaceful. We enjoyed being able to snip some herbs from the garden to add to our meals and walk into town for fresh bread.

Bonjour Doug and Amanda, Thank you for your nice review, we enjoyed having you stay over and we hope you are enjoying the rest of your European holiday. Kind regards Family Rives
We stayed for 5 days in the Chateau.
Everything was perfect, the welcome by the family, the location, the house with plenty of space well equipped, a perfect pool.
Excellent suggestions by the owner of the Chateau for places to visit in the surroundings.
Can only recommend to spend some time at this place

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The owners were wonderful, vey welcoming and accommodating. The tour of the winery with the owner was a fabulous experience and should not be missed!
The only thing to be aware of is that the bedrooms are on the second floor with a steep staircase but manageable. We left our luggage downstairs.
Our stay at one of the “gites” of Chateau la Gontrie was just wonderful. The cottage is spacious and was spotless when we arrived. The setting is beautiful. Andrea and her father welcomed us and provided us with plenty of ideas for activities in the area that would be enjoyable with our son. The village, about 20 minutes drive from the city of Bordeaux, is lovely as well. It’s a great find!
What a gem 10/10 nothing we could fault. Andrea, Nola and John-Louis have thought of everything to make your stay as easy and as pleasurable as possible. We stayed here for the rugby match Ireland V Romania. It was so easy to get to Bordeaux and park and walk into the city. We were so impressed we have booked for next year thank you very much
As two couples we booked somewhere to stay in a venue near to Bordeaux, as some of the group were going to the Rugby World Cup, while some of us stayed to paint the stunning countryside. The property was beautiful, kitchen really well equipped, tastefully decorated and spotless. The owners were lovely, really supportive and welcoming. This is a winery, be prepared to sample. A brilliant stay, can't recommend it highly enough.
Our holiday started with a warm welcome by Andrea, introducing us to the house, the surroundings and leisure options. A lovely and peaceful site (re-)built by her family. Everything was in a very tidy manner and the kitchen well equipped with everything you need. We very much liked the place in front of the house and sat there till late night.
Nous étions là avec deux de nos petits enfants pour une semaine de repos avant la rentrée. Le gîte est vraiment bien conçu et confortable. Tranquillité assurée au milieu des vignes. Très bon accueil des propriétaires et dégustation assurée par le propriétaire viticulteur.
Ein wunderbarer Aufenthalt in einer tollen Umgebung mit vielfältigen Ausflugsmöglichkeiten über die die Eigentümer sehr gut informiert haben. Sogar eine Weinprobe in der eigenen Kellerei war möglich.
Another relaxing and enjoyable holiday at Chateau La Gontrie
If you are looking for tranquillity, whilst being close to a lively, vibrant city and the marvellous Atlantic coast this is the ideal place to stay. The above describes exactly what myself and my wife wanted from our holiday and as a result the holiday was perfect. Once again thank you Jean-Louis, Nola and Andrea.
We had a fantastic week staying in Le Relais at Chateau La Gontrie. The house is very comfortable, spacious and everything we needed was on hand. We were made to feel very welcome, and Jean Louis provided plenty of useful tips for visiting the local area. Lovely setting among the vineyards, and we got to enjoy their delicious wine. It was a very relaxing and fun week, and we made very good use of the swimming pool!
We were moved to the 4 bedroom property which was spacious and had a wonderful outlook over the garden. Very peaceful and the swimming pool was lovely and clean. After busy days exploring the area it is a wonderful relaxing location surrounded by vineyards.
Andrea and her family were amazing and very helpful. giving great information for Bordeaux and surrounding area. Wine tasting was very informative and delicious.
The gite had a well equipped kitchen, bed linen was crisp and clean. Beds were very comfortable. The shower rooms were small and compacted, there was a lack of shelves in shower room. Towels were small and not plentiful. Luckily we had brought some from home. We had a few minor issues but all were dealt with and sorted quickly.
We had a lovely relaxing 3 days.
We were made extremely welcome by Andrea, Nola and Jean-Louis. The property we stayed in was wonderful and was everything we hoped it would be. The estate on which the property was situated was fabulous and being a working vineyard extremely interesting. The pool, surrounding gardens, communal areas and facilities were first rate. We have no complaints to make other than the holiday was too short! Thank you once again, kindest regards
Ian and Sarah.
We spent a beautiful week at Château La Gontrie with our 2 young children, the house 'le relais' was well equipped and spotlessly clean. The area around the house gardens and pool was perfect for days when we didn't feel like going further afeild. Nola, Jean-Louie and their family were extremely welcoming and we really felt at home during our stay. A car is a must have to stay here as lots of good day trips are within a short distance. The tour of the vinyard and tasting was a real treat and we especially enjoyed the cupboard of wine in the house! I would highly recommend this as a holiday for anyone.
Wir haben eine wunderschöne Zeit in dem geschmackvoll eingerichtetem Haus in toller Umgebung und mit herrlich erfrischendem Pool erlebt. Jean-Louis und Nola haben uns herzlich empfangen, waren immer für uns da und hatten hilfreiche Tipps für Unternehmungen.
Uns hat es in dem Haus an nichts gefehlt. Wir kommen sicher und gerne nochmal wieder.

Belle semaine de vacances au château La Gontrie
Nous avons passé une excellente semaine, dans un environnement préservé, et avons particulièrement apprécié votre accueil, votre disponibilité et la passion que vous mettez dans ce que vous faites.
A ce titre, la dégustation de vos crus a été un vrai moment de plaisir.
Le gîte est très spacieux, doté de tout le nécessaire permettant de se sentir chez soi, dans le calme d’une très belle propriété. Expérience à renouveler pour poursuivre la découverte de cette belle région
