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!

Delightful in all respects

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.

Fall trip to Bordeaux

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.

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.

Bordeaux area Beauty!

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.

Wonderful accommodations

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.

Comfortable, spacious home and gracious hosts!

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!

Friends away week

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.

Holiday entre deux mers

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.

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.

Fabulous family holiday

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!

Peaceful and relaxing

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.

Relaxing and enjoyable holiday

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.

Fabulous stay in bordeaux countryside

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.
