Le Melchior — Hotel in Libourne

We arrived here at 8.45pm after a long, hot and tiring drive from Paris. We were recommended to come by the owner of our BnB, which usually is praise enough. We were seated on the terrace, social distancing and hygiene properly adhered to and very well managed. The staff were so lovely, kind, friendly, welcoming and really attentive. They spoke both English and French with us, which was reassuring for my children and they were extremely polite and patient with my rusty French! We chose the Mini Melchior steak option for our three children, I had the warm goats cheese salad and my husband had fish. The food came quickly and was absolutely sublime. My children's steak was cooked to perfection - they said it was the nicest they had ever had. My goats cheese was so good and my husband finished his fish in about 5 minutes flat! The wine was great too. The overall experience was so good that the children have asked to go back again tonight. If Le Melchior appears on your list of possible places to dine I would call it a must do. 5...

Stayed here as two couples for four nights. I am surprised by some of the ealier reviews which are clearly out of date and do not represent our experience. This small hotel has a calm rural setting. The old house has been beautifully and stylishly developed. Rooms are well equipped with fridge, kettle, coffee makers etc. And in particular with comfortable beds and very effective air conditioning. ||As our stay was for Golden Wedding celebrations with friends who live nearby, we only ate in the restaurant one night. Our meal was well cooked and presented and included a range of fresh local ingredients. Breakfast each morning was a real treat and elegantly delivered to our table on a tray. ||Overall, fantastic value and I have no hesitation in giving le Melchior the highest...

We unfortunately had a bedroom at the rear of the hotel and it was by todays standards basic. the was no wardrobe, just a set of hooks on the wall. The room is in need of serious modernisation and renovation. On the other hand my friends had a room at the front which was far superior but would benefit from some improvements. There is no air-conditioning so if you are considering staying summer might be uncomfortably hot and noisy if you open the windows. The hotel does have a very reasonably priced restaurant serving good food...
