Read moreOur stay at Maison Groleau – Chambre et Table d’hôtes was nothing short of fantastic. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed and cared for – it truly felt like staying at a friend’s beautiful countryside home rather than just a guesthouse.
The house and rooms: Maison Groleau is absolutely charming – tastefully decorated with a mix of elegance and coziness that makes you feel instantly at ease. Our room was spotless, beautifully furnished, and very comfortable, with thoughtful details that showed how much care goes into every aspect of the guest experience.
Hospitality and service: The hosts are simply incredible – warm, attentive, and passionate about making every guest’s stay perfect. Nothing ever felt rushed or transactional – just genuine hospitality at its very best. We were given wonderful tips about the area and felt like we were treated as friends rather than just guests.
The highlight – dinner and breakfast: The set menu dinner was an absolute highlight of our trip. Each course was prepared with love and creativity, featuring fresh local ingredients and perfectly balanced flavors. It was the kind of meal that makes you slow down and savor every bite. The atmosphere was intimate and relaxed – exactly what you dream of when staying in the French countryside.
Breakfast the next morning was just as delightful: fresh bread and pastries, homemade jams, seasonal fruit, great coffee – everything beautifully presented and full of flavor. It was the perfect start to the day and once again showed the hosts’ dedication to quality.
Overall: Maison Groleau is a true gem near Bordeaux – a place where design, comfort, and heartfelt hospitality come together. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing getaway, a stopover to explore the wine region, or simply a memorable experience, this is the place to be. We left feeling recharged, happy, and already planning our next visit.

Read moreWe are two nights of three into our stay at Maison Groleau and we could not have found a better place to stay for so many reasons. Guillaume and Pierre-Louis are the perfect hosts and they have converted the house into a small beautifully appointed home from home. Only three bedrooms. The option to eat here the evenings should absolutely not be missed. Guillaume is a chef of the highest order and the food is absolutely divine and exceptional. Despite being self taught he has reached Michelin standards and chapeau to him for the wonderful meals we have enjoyed so far. They serve the wines from the family property which are very good indeed. The property is also well located for all the various attractions...
