À PROPOS

ABOUT

A former wine estate located 18 kilometers from Saint Emilion and its prestigious vineyards, Domaine de Rateau is only 40 km from Bordeaux, easily accessible by road or train.

Charming house with two hectares of park with hundred-year-old trees,   swimming pool of 7 meters by 15, and four comfortable rooms renovated with taste, Rateau is a peaceful and restful place, where you will be received in the rules of the art of French hospitality.

Guests benefit from a refined and cozy double living room, which overlooks the park, with a beautiful terrace, library, television and  board games. Winter weekends by the fire are very popular here!

In summer, the Ping Pong table is set up in the park.

 

Upon reservation, Emmanuelle Hardouin Duparc will welcome you to her table d'hôtes where you can enjoy seasonal products, accompanied by Bordeaux wines or craft beers from the region... We offer a limited but representative menu of the vineyards of the region.

For safety reasons (small pond, electric fences, proximity to horses),  Domaine de Rateau is not suitable for children under 10 years old.

Our animal friends are not accepted.

Check-in from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m., check-out until 11 a.m.
