Welcomed by a sweet couple who were very attentive to any possible needs. The home and room are lovely, super clean, well kept and quiet. Our host, Clement, was a storehouse of information regarding the area, and fun to chat with as he is a wine maker and quite knowledgeable about the history of locally produced wines. Without doubt, we would gladly stay there again.

excellent stay at La Closerie de Fronac

Title: A Memorable Experience at La Closerie de Fransac

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My wife an had the pleasure of staying at La Closerie de Fransac, and must say it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were envelop in a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home.

First and foremost, I want to express my sincere gratitude to Clement, the host of La Closerie de Fransac. His exceptional hospitality and attention to detail truly made my stay remarkable. Clement's passion for ensuring the comfort and satisfaction of his guests is evident in every aspect of this charming bed and breakfast.

One of the highlights of my visit was the opportunity to sample the exquisite wines produced at Clement's vineyard. The flavors were exceptional, and I was impressed by the quality and craftsmanship that went into every bottle. Clement's dedication to winemaking is apparent, and I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the process during a tour of the vineyard. It was an enriching experience that deepened my appreciation for the art of winemaking.

Additionally, the breakfast served at La Closerie de Fransac was simply outstanding. Each morning, we were treat to a delicious spread of fresh pastries, locally sourced fruits, and a variety of delectable dishes. The attention to detail and the use of high-quality ingredients were evident in every bite. It was a delightful way to start each day and provided the perfect energy to explore the surrounding area.

We enjoyed a delightful two nights at this treasure of a B&B. Peaceful and quiet, surrounded by vineyards and is a working domaine vinicole where you can sample the lovely wines produced on the property. The helpful host taught us much about the local wines as well as wines from the larger Bordeaux region. We definitely want to come back!

La Closerie was a wonderful get away in the Bordeaux countryside. The home was beautiful and well cared for. Our host was wonderful and very helpful, offering to provide us with dinner the night of our arrival so we did not have to go back out after seven hours of driving. We were also able to enjoy some of the estate bottled wine with our dinner.

The location of this B&B is great, and the view of the vineyard from our window was majestic. We were perhaps expecting a lot, but upon arrival in the fairly cold and rainy day, we thought we'd cosy up next to a fire in the fireplace of the common area, with the complementary glass of wine that was advertized. But there was no woodfire, and no complimentary wine.

He was always interested in helping us find hat we needed and sharing great tips about the area. This is an old \"chateau, so don't expect crisp.

I am not sure how to review my stay because we didn’t stay. We moved on without an alternative place to stay and too late to cancel, so we knew we would be paying double (once for wherever we ended up staying and once for the place we drove away from) for our stay in Saint-Emilion area. Before booking, I saw the pictures, I read the glowing reviews. I no longer believe them.
The place is not easy to find nor get to. It is also not a place you would want to drive back to on a pitch black night after dinner in town. I don’t remember what the star rating Hotels.com gave the place, but it was more than it deserved. OK, the place was clean, Our room was was also clean but absolutely minimalist, maybe 2 stars max. The bathroom was not pictured on Hotels.com and justifiably so. The stairs to the room were narrow with at least one turn; not something retirees, or really anyone, should have to deal with. Why do these places always send the oldest guests to the most difficult rooms to get to? There also seemed to be insufficient parking for the number of guests. The last spot was taken while we were being shown our room. Perhaps our view of this country \"chateau\" was jaded by the wonderful Loire Chateau we had just checked out of for the same price. Anyway, even though we didn't stay, first impression indicates the reviewers for this place are higher than deserved

Quiet relaxed stay in beautiful old vineyard house

We stayed for two nights, though local restaurants were closed during the holiday period the host Clemont made a special effort to provide us with a wonderful evening meal eaten outside.
Locally produced cold meats and pate, French and Dutch cheeses finished off with local desserts (Clemont had to source these outside the local area specifically because we were celebrating our anniversary) and a bottle of the hosts own red wine.
Could not have wished for better.

Visit the wine area of St Emilion in Bordeaux

The area was great for wine tasting . Our host Clement was great , helped us get appointments at various farms and told us where we should visit.
We were unlucky to get a loft room with a sloping ceiling. Accommodation was quite small ,there are larger rooms.
The mattress was not great , could do with a upgrade.
I would recommend any traveler that wants to visit wine farms in the area to do some homework and bookings prior to arrival as most visits are by appointment . The French do not have a open door policy and everything closes at 12 till 2pm and often 4 pm. Restaurants generally require a booking and if you arrive after 1:30 you will often not get served.
Great stay and area just complicated.Without our host we would have been lost.

Exceptionally clean and comfortable.

Lives up to its existing reviews, its a very cute rustic cottage but best of all run with excellence , perfection and attention to detail. The owners are very sweet people and very professional at the same time, this is probably the cleanest property I have stayed at in my entire life. Big luxury hotels should learn from here how to manage a hotel. The rooms are beautiful, very warm , spacious and comfortable. Amazing place to relax. The breakfast was great too but I would only suggest the owners to add multigrain breads or healthier options, it was delicious food but we ended up eating a lot and putting on weight , not a bad thing though.

Highly recommend this place.

Boutique b&b amongst the vines

A charming and traditional b&b near to St Emilion which has it's own winery attached. The owner gave a quick but interesting tour of the winery along with a tasting of some of their own wines, these wines are available for purchase from the premises. The owner couldn't have been more helpful and spoke good English for those that don't have any French.Roms were warm clean and tidy but do lack tea/coffee making facilities but the owner was happy to make on request without any extra charges. Also as I was there on a Sunday night in February and without many evening dining options available he produced an evening meal at short notice. Would definitely return if in the area again.

Fantastic!

My husband and I stayed at Closerie de Fronsac two days in two different rooms and loved everything about the place. The house is beatifully decorated in french provincial style. It is recently renovated and is absolutely spotless with wonderful antic furniture in every room. The proprietor of the place thought of every little detail to make his guests feel comfortable, from spacious and elegant bathrooms to pretty china in the bedroom for making tea, of which there is a huge assortment. Breakfast is served in a cosy dining hall and includes a selction of fruit, boiled eggs, nuts, yogurt, coffe and orange juice as well as usual croissant and baguette served with two flavors of marmalade.

The owner does not speak English but managed to give us good directions to restaurants and interesting sites nearby. The hotel is located in very scenic area of vineries and chateaus. We wish we could stay there longer, and we will definitely want return to closerie if we ever travel in this part of France.

Charming, rustic country stay

What a charming 'country stay'!

Once we had navigated our way out of Bordeaux, we were delighted to find our way to Libourne and then onto Fronsac, just a few kilometres away. We missed the turning to La Closerie de Fronsac, but that was soon rectified.

We were warmly welcomed and were made to feel very comfortable right away. My French is limited and the hosts do speak a little English, but that is part of the charm of travelling.

The rooms are very homely, are spotless and offer all the amenities required for a very pleasant stay.

We opted to buy food at the nearby Carrefour and had dinner on both nights in the rustic, but lovely garden overlooking the Vineyards; way better than any expensive restaurant. There is also a communal kitchenette for guests use.

I would most definitely recommend La Closerie de Fronsac for a wonderful, authentic farm house stay.

And the bathroom was large and clean and the water pressure in the shower was strong and the hot water never ran out. If you've been to Europe before, you'll understand my dwelling on these points.
