Karen's Review Of This Property:

In the fertile wine district of Saint Émilion you can stay in the château of one of the grand wine estates. Château Franc Mayne (Grand Cru Classé) nestles in 7 hectares of vineyards planted on the famous stone quarries in the Côte de Franc, within walking distance of Saint Émilion. The ambiance in the public rooms is elegant, but relaxed and informal, like a private home. Off the entry is a pretty salon with a sitting area, a billiard table, and a well-stocked honor bar. Table d’hôte dinners can be arranged for groups of eight or more and are served in the elegant dining room. There are also many restaurants in Saint Émilion. Breakfast is enjoyed with other guests in the dining room at one long table set before a large open fireplace. The guestrooms, which look out over the grounds and enjoy the quiet setting, are of the standard of a luxury hotel—spacious, beautifully decorated, with comfortable table and seating arrangements, and large modern bathrooms with amenities such as robes, shampoos, and hairdryers. The price is more consistent with a hotel, too, but included in the rate is a guided tour of the winery, the old Relais de la Poste, and the network of caves and tunnels that connect the Relais with the cellars. For those who don’t mind commuting back for breakfast, there are also four other rooms, just ten minutes away.
