Hotel de Plaisance
Saint-Emilion is a name that arouses excitement in all of those who appreciate wine around the world. And the village itself is a gem and one of the most delightful spots in France.
Chantal and Gerard Perse will welcome you in an ambience where the classic splendor allows itself a few little moments of extravagance, in a decor signed by the master Alberto Pinto. Absolute sophistication in this haven of well-being. And the cuisine of Philippe Etchebest, Meilleur Ouvrier de France, is in total harmony with the setting.

In Saint Emilion you will find the Chateau du Roi a church carved out of a limestone cliff with a bell tower. Under the town there are tunnels and galleries
One of the many old streets
We stayed in a gite in a small village a few miles from the town. This is a good way to live like the locals and enjoy the French lifestyle. It is also good value more so if several of you go together if you would like to stay in a Gite try here
Enjoy the calm and the beauty of this 11th century detached stone house in the historic hamlet of Faize.
Famous St. Emilion itself is only 4 miles (6km) and its mysterious underground town and church are definitely worth a visit.
During the summer, there is also a little train that takes you around the town to discover the vineyards. Bordeaux (28 miles) and the Dordogne river (12 miles) also lie within easy driving distance.
