Beautiful château! The room was very comfortable and beautifully decorated, and the air conditioning was a huge plus. The grounds surrounding the château are stunning, peaceful, and exceptionally well maintained. We saw a hare and lots of birds, which made the setting even more special.
The breakfast wasn't very extensive, but everything was delicious and of excellent quality. Honestly, I didn't want to go anywhere else—I just wanted to stay at the château and enjoy the peace and tranquility.

The hotel is a little gem just 30 mins outside of Bordeaux city. The building and rooms are beautiful, and the grounds stunning. We loved our room and it was very spacious with high ceilings. The pool was perfect for the heatwave as well! Food and drink were great but it doesn’t have a restaurant onsite - the staff prepare cold food but it was really tasty! We had a bit of an air con leak on arrival but the hotel got maintenance in the following day and fixed it quickly. Would definitely recommend if you’d like a peaceful chateau experience for a couple of nights!

We “ended up” at this hotel after hotels.com tricked us into an absolute dive of b&b. This place was so nice that upon arriving, we immediately cancelled our dinner plans, deciding g to just hang at the hotel. Some champagne, some wine, cheese plate … amazing. Next morning we explored the city and then back to hotel did the heat of the day - at the pool. Amazing. There is a gentleman, Max, who makes sure everything is top notch!

Chateau Grattequina is a lovely hotel with wonderful staff. All three of the front of house team were excellent and Lucy in particular made us very welcome on arrival. They are all friendly and charming. If you are oooking to do a wine tour or visit Bordeaux this is the perfect location. For a touch of class take the hotel’s own launch into the centre of Bordeaux. Lovely pool and grounds make it a great setting with beautiful decor and rooms.

Fantastic place on the garonne river. Loved having picnics outside and taste the wide selection of self pouring wines. Staff were excellent apart from a lady at the front desk that was kind of rude on the fact that we could not bring food to the swimming pool ( that wasn’t explained to us at check in ), she made us feel very uncomfortable. But the two other gentleman at the front desk were great!

We were greeted by Maxim, who took great care to show us around, explain things, take us to our room etc. We had 3 nights of peace and quiet and access to the beautiful pool. Lucie looked after us splendidly for our first breakfast & I can't begin to tell you how impressed were with our quarters. Being just 10 rooms, it's geared for relaxation & a little luxury. While we were happy with all food options, I suspect the lack of prepared cooked food for dinner, may be not to everyone's liking. But Bordeaux is just a few minutes away by car if so desired. As I said, we loved our 3 night stay & have already told friends & relatives that they should stay there if the opportunity arises.

Chateau Grattequina is a magical place. The grand driveway goes on forever and then you see the beautiful gardens so many different flowers and fruit trees on the property. The condition is immaculate the grounds which are so vast are picture perfect. The grand entry way, the decor, the huge rooms, the back balcony, the pool. It is all perfect. We stayed with a large group of 16 guests and spent so much time just taking pictures every where we could. We also had a gala dinner all arranged by the staff and the execution was flawless.

This is an absolutely stunning property set alongside the beautiful setting of the River Garonde and slightly out from the busy city of Bordeaux (approx 15 mins by car). The large room (#10) looked onto the river at the back of the property and had a very large walk-in shower and a bath, 2 sinks and separate toilet room. Slippers and dressing gowns were provided. Very comfortale bed. Breakfast was lovely, although a little overpriced at 22€ per person. Having been in touch with the property prior to arrival about dietary requirements, they were able to cater for that for me. Unlimited tea, coffee, hot chocolate was available. Wine by the glass from a machine added to your tab and payable at the end of your stay. Pool was perfect, and there was also a sauna next to the pool. Poolside towels were provided. The 'menu' available is more q snack menu but delicious.
The one downside for you to be aware of with booking through Expedia if you choose the option to pay at the property, they required a pre-authorisation check before arrival, which actually took full payment albeit showing as a pending payment. Upon departure, the property insisted we had to pay the amount again, so in theory paying twice at that point. A week after our stay, we still hadn't received a refund contrary to what we were told, so I again requested a cancellation of the pre-authorisation payment from the property directly and finally got the pending payment money back. Fantastic stay all in all. Will return.

The Chateau is a lovely building on the Garonne a few miles outside of Bordeaux. The room was large, clean & tidy and very comfortable. It is an ideal base for exploring Bordeaux and the surrounding vinyards. There is also a nice pool in the grounds. Breakfast is provided (at an extra cost) but there is no restaurant for dinner. There is a room service menu but it's not very inspiring. It is much better to go out to a local restaurant of which there are quite a few in the immediate area. While we were there the hotel had several events in an annex building but they did not disturb the hotel guests. The hotel has an ev charging point. You will need an activation card that you can get from reception. There is a 10 euro flat fee for each day that you use it. A nice hotel but perhaps a little impersonal.

Hotel room didn't lock the first night. Everything was unsecure and management was miserable to deal with. Propped items up against the door at night to prevent anyone from entering room. Furniture dated and stained, staff was lackluster, overall experience was a total bust. Utter lack of concern for our privacy and security of valuables. Would not recommend!!!

Lovely hotel but…..

Fantastic place , great stay but the billing was an absolute mess! This was paid via hotel . Com rewards and card 5 months before so coming completely paid for the room. 10 days before the stay the hotel took a massive pre authorisation charge which withheld money in my bank account. After much trouble to contact hotels . Com it got released, then on check out they tried to bill the already paid rooms , again I had proof they had been paid so all was good . Paid our extras then the next day the hotel billed me for the already paid room! I have now paid the room twice over and if you count the pre authorisation I paid it 3 times! Am awaiting now to get my money back from the hotel but due to a holiday it’s not straight away, but I will have to pay my bank charges. This had been a farce and ruined a great stay!

We enjoyed a tranquil 2 day stay here before leaving France. We had a beautiful well appointed spacious room overlooking the river. The furnishings were elegant and though modern in keeping with the style of the exterior of the chateau. The only thing we were not keen on was that the toilet was separate from the bathroom on the other side of bedroom and there was no sink to wash hands after using the toilet and we had to go all round bedroom and through 2 doors to wash hands? ! The location is out of Bordeaux but closer to the wine region but a taxi into Bordeaux cost 25 euros. We actually took the boat ride into Bordeaux for one trip since we had a reservation for dinner down town. It was fun but we thought the price for 70 euros each was excessive. Due to the heat the beautiful pool was a welcome relief and it was relaxing to spend an afternoon on the loungers by the pool. We also enjoyed a nice breakfast with fresh fruit, yoghurts breads, croissants and eggs bacon and cheese and ham.we ordered a plate of charcuterie and cheese to eat one lunch time by pool- it was a delicious bargain! The staff were pleasant and helpful when asked, but did not initiate any interactions including on our arrival, which we found strange after all the other welcomes we had had at the other hotels in France. However, we would return for the quiet relaxing surroundings.

The view across the property is sensational! The grounds are breathtaking!! Calm and peaceful...Wether strolling around the never ending greenery... or chilling on the hammock by the water, biking around the property... we enjoyed it immensely!!
Breakfast was served with a smile, fresh saueezed juice, omelettes, veggies, yogurts, and freshly baked bread on premises.
I urge you to visit and stay at this property. It will remain on our minds and in our hearts for a very long time to come... hoping to visit again very soon !!

This is a gem of a hotel right outside Bordeaux. It is 15 minutes in an uber (or by boat) from the centre. It has the most magical swimming pool surrounded by a stunning garden. The rooms are large and well equipped. The staff are lovely. It’s in a very quiet area. There is wine on tap 24/7. The only thing that lets it down is the room decor which appears to have been done by a colour blind ikea salesman. Our room had grey walls with beige and burgundy curtains. There was a rickety floor lamp leaning at a 45 degree angle mixed with beautiful antique furniture. Most extraordinary because the public rooms have been exquisitely updated. If you are not too design conscious you will love it though!

Beautiful hotel, nicer than most 5 star hotels!

This was easily our favorite hotel of our 3 week trip in France. This hotel is BEAUTIFUL and their attention to detail and service is superb. It's shocking that this isn't actually a 5 star hotel. The location is amazing being right on the water - the hotel also has a water taxi service available to/from downtown Bordeaux! Our room was so beautiful and very very large for a european hotel. The pool was very nice and had a beautiful view of the chateau/property. The wine bar fancy \"vending machine\" was such a nice feature - we really enjoyed being able to sample different wines by the glass. Breakfast each morning was very tasty. I highly suggest ordering food from their menu and having dinner out on the back patio overlooking the lake. Chateau Grattequina honestly felt like a dream staying there - we can't wait to go back!

Not what we expected in a Chateau

As a family of four we spent 3 days at the Chateau. The positives: The Chateau is beautiful with gorgeous grounds, common areas and rooms. The pool, sitting options outside and the kitchen with available coffee, tea, hot chocolate, water and fruit at all times was very nice. The negatives: The hotel lacks food options with a limited menu so you need to go out of you want more than pizza or pasta. If you dont bring a car, cabs from the hotel will cost you as the fare starts in the city - its about 40 Euro to go anywhere. The Chateau stumbles in the hope to be both a luxury hotel and a conference centre. Our second night at the Chateau they hosted a wedding. We had guests throughout the common spaces at the hotel - leaving us no where to relax, the lounge spaces inside and out were full of guest and they looked out onto the pool - where we were. The conference center is next to the Chateux and the noise from the wedding (DJ, people milling around) kept us up until 3 am. The following day the Chateux hosted an event for the football event. People were everywhere and intoxicated guests stripped down and tried to get into the pool with our children several times. The lack of space for guests or monitoring of events is horrible. I would not recommend anyone stay at this hotel as anytime there is an event, as a guest you are left with no space, no privacy and no ability to get away from the noise. Stay elsewhere thats better organized for guests and events.

A gem of a Chateau

The location, the grounds and chateau itself are absolutely gorgeous. we found it very romantic and will definitely return to take advantage of it in the future. Its a good place to take a breath, we were just moving too fast. We did not have time to take advantage of the pool or the bicycles, but did do a small wine tasting and the breakfast. Take note that the chateau is 30 minutes away from the city center, so that was a bit challenging. They offer a river boat ride into town which we thought was a definite must, but found it a bit too expensive. The staff was very nice and the room was beautiful. We look forward to going back.

Unique hotel

We enjoyed our stay. The setting is great once you get there, but you go though industrial areas first. Swimming pool is tropical and a real chill out. Absolutely lovely.
Breakfast is fine and eggs are cooked to order. It's great to sit on the terrace as you have a morning tea or coffee. All very pleasant.
The only issue is the very limited food menu for other meals. It's a room service menu which they serve wherever you wish to eat and it's fine for lunch. The food is very good. You can't get a hot evening meal and you do need a car to get to any other restaurant. A taxi to/from Bordeaux town is €35 euros.
We did use the hotel boat to go into Bordeaux,which was a great experience, however it is expensive for a 25 min ride.
All in all, fine to chill out overnight if you have a late lunch before arriving. Glad we went! would go again if they added a couple of simple hot dishes to their menu.

We had a great stay at Grattequina, the room was huge and very nice. JUst a 20 minute cab ride to city center and 5 minute drive to the wineries. The hotel has a private boat that you can charter to city center

Most amazing French experience

Spectacular chateau located on the river - the promotion photos don't anywhere near do it justice!

Refurbished beautifully and respectfully to the original building.

Great proximity to Bordeaux centre.

An absolutely idyllic chateau stay and could not recommend more highly!

Wonderful. Spacious and relaxing

A little out of town (Bordeaux), but once you arrive a calmness relaxes you and life is good away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The staff is wonderful and so helpful. They arranged out wine tasting day followed by a fabulous meal at Cafe du Port with a view of the bridge and river. The rooms were big, spacious and luxurious. Chateau living with elegance and practicality. Loved it and would do it again if we ever get back there.

Chateau Grattequina, a \"Gem\" of a hotel!

We were absolutely pleased with everything the Chateau Grattequina had to offer us. The accomodations were excellent and clean, the daily petit dejuner (breakfast) was superb, and the entire Staff was as nice and professional as you would expect of such a beautiful Chateau Hotel! We would absolutely recommend it to everyone, and we would definitely stay there again!

Amazingly romantic hotel on the Gironde

Me and my girlfriend went for a short and relaxing weekend break and couldn't have picked a better hotel. We arrived at midnight on Friday and despite reception being closed our key card was placed for us as the entrance gate with very clear instructions of how to get to our room. Our room (Gironde view) on level 2 was very spacious, very clean, and had a modernised feel despite keeping in line with the original chateau feel. Unlike many other travellers, we came to Bordeaux to relax and as such spend most of our time in the chateau gardens and swimming pool. The staff and Stephane (the owner) provided very attentive service, gave us excellent dinner and market recommendations, and made sure we had an amazing stay. We would definitely recommend this hotel for any couple who seeks relaxation and privacy and appreciates waking up to the sound of the birds. We will definitely be returning to this hotel and are already very much looking forward.

Nice Gateaway

We enjoyed our hotel stay very much, but the distance to commute to Bordeaux turned out to be rather far, so be prepared either to rent a car or order taxi to the city.

Don't stay here without a car

The Chateau is beautiful, the rooms are hug and very comfortable. But the hotel itself is a bit isolated and apart from the hotel there is not much to do. Only book her if you have a car as you will need to drive to everything. It is located conveniently to drive to the Margoux and Saint Emilon wine regions and downtown Bordeaux.

Elegance in countryside near to key attractions

For someone like us, escaping from central London, this was bliss. It is truly in the countryside adjacent to the river with far-reaching views from the bedroom windows (which are enormous). It is carefully refurbished in the most elegant style appropriate to being a chateau as we Brits imagine a chateau should be - and yet with quality modern bathrooms. Nothing was too much trouble to the friendly staff who booked restaurants and vineyard tours and explained routes. Our favourite restaurant was 2 minutes away with a 9.5 Eu menu that was excellent. The only sadness was that the unseasonal weather meant we didn't make use of the pool.

Great CHateau - pity encroaching industrialisation

The Hotel was beautiful staff fab but we visited in october and didn't use the terrace or needed the windows open. Don't be fooled by the scenic pictures on the website, across the river to the right hand side of the chateau are large ?grain silos and there was a constant intrusive hum in the background. Would it put me off staying again? - I'm not sure but would have been nice to have been pre-warned.

The lack of restaurant facilities was a bit of a drag - there was nowhere to eat without a significant drive

A romantic gem!

Wow, what a lovely Chateau! Our room was so spacious with spectacular views. The hotel is off the beaten path with a countryside ambiance. The staff was very friendly and helpful, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We would have given the hotel five stars, however the safe did not work in our room and when we took showers water would leak onto the floor due to poor caulking.

8 Kilometers from Bordeaux Centre

There are 10 rooms at this chateau; and they are very large by European standards. We toured many wine producers during our stay; and the location was fine for us as we were driving. They were very accomodating; as we needed a late arrival. The chateau is 50 meters from the Garrone river; and is in fabulous condition. We would stay there again, any time in the region.

Very good

We decided not to stay in the center of Bordeaux and this Hotel was well located to the north of the city in a lovely field overlooking the River. It is on the road t several famous areas including Margaux. Nice pool. 30 mins by car to the airport. Hotel comfortable rooms were big and staff very attentive. We will return.

Magnificant scenery but not impressive service

Finding the location was difficult. The view and surrounding was impressive and magnificent. The property is very well maintained and of good standad. The reception lady wasn't very polite and dressed unprofessionaly. The reception is un-menned from 11pm, which was inconvenient especially when we were bothered by lots of mosquitos in the room during the night.

Overall the Chateau was beautiful but definitely not value for money if you are seeking for a pleasant experience.

Chateau Grattequina in Bordeaux

This is a beautiful chateau in the Medoc close to Bordeaux. On arrival the receprionist could not find our booking - we were not alone as teh next guest to arrive (American) was told that she could not find his booking either. After some waiting and help from teh manager she managed to find teh bookings. There is no restaurant - only a room for breakfast. It has only a minimal staff and is very expensive for what is provided.

Historical getaway

So enjoyed this 18th century Chatteaux after four hectic days in Paris is was a memorable time. Able to visit st emilion and wineries close without the usual touristy entourages. A car with GPS is a must but this can be organized in the not overly friendly city of Bordeaux. Chateaux Grattequina Definitely worth a two or three day visit. I am from OZ and I would go back
