CHÂTEAU DE BUFFAVENT — Hotel in Villefranche-sur-Saône

We absolutely adored this place. It is friendly and genuine. If you want peace and quiet, while still having the vineyard and a pool, this is definitely the place to go. Marie and her family were so lovely and me us feel so welcome. The room was gorgeous (the bathroom had a fantastic shower). The pool was a delight (heated, clean and with wine service to your lounger!) ||Marie treated us to a tour of the winery and a tasting (without any pressure to buy). We even got to taste direct from the barrel. ||Only downside is the need to drive to a restaurant (if you haven't booked far enough in advance to book dinner, which we will next time)||Definitely...

Vincent was very happy to assist us with places to visit and restaurants to go to in the region. We went into Lyon which is close by and could not wait to get back to the Chateau. Lyon is very busy as you would expect. We will be recommending this place to all...
