We were here to rest and recharge after spending the day wine tasting. This chateau is quiet and peaceful. Staff is friendly and speaks our language which is not common in many parts of France. We would highly recommend this hotel to others.
Absolutely magnificent place to stay. Huge air-conditioned bedrooms with fantastic bathrooms. Enormous gardens along with excellent pool, grounds and tennis court. Very hospitable owner and staff with fluent English. Will definitely stay again
We had a wonderful one night stay in this beautiful chateaux after finishing up our cruise. The romantic room was gorgeous! Very comfortable bed, beautiful river view. I wish the menu had been bigger but the food was very good. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful.
We were greeted by Maxim, who took great care to show us around, explain things, take us to our room etc. We had 3 nights of peace and quiet and access to the beautiful pool. Lucie looked after us splendidly for our first breakfast & I can't begin to tell you how impressed were with our quarters. Being just 10 rooms, it's geared for relaxation & a little luxury. While we were happy with all food options, I suspect the lack of prepared cooked food for dinner, may be not to everyone's liking. But Bordeaux is just a few minutes away by car if so desired. As I said, we loved our 3 night stay & have already told friends & relatives that they should stay there if the opportunity arises.
This is an absolutely stunning property set alongside the beautiful setting of the River Garonde and slightly out from the busy city of Bordeaux (approx 15 mins by car). The large room (#10) looked onto the river at the back of the property and had a very large walk-in shower and a bath, 2 sinks and separate toilet room. Slippers and dressing gowns were provided. Very comfortale bed. Breakfast was lovely, although a little overpriced at 22€ per person. Having been in touch with the property prior to arrival about dietary requirements, they were able to cater for that for me. Unlimited tea, coffee, hot chocolate was available. Wine by the glass from a machine added to your tab and payable at the end of your stay. Pool was perfect, and there was also a sauna next to the pool. Poolside towels were provided. The 'menu' available is more q snack menu but delicious.
The one downside for you to be aware of with booking through Expedia if you choose the option to pay at the property, they required a pre-authorisation check before arrival, which actually took full payment albeit showing as a pending payment. Upon departure, the property insisted we had to pay the amount again, so in theory paying twice at that point. A week after our stay, we still hadn't received a refund contrary to what we were told, so I again requested a cancellation of the pre-authorisation payment from the property directly and finally got the pending payment money back. Fantastic stay all in all. Will return.
Chateau Grattequina is a magical place. The grand driveway goes on forever and then you see the beautiful gardens so many different flowers and fruit trees on the property. The condition is immaculate the grounds which are so vast are picture perfect. The grand entry way, the decor, the huge rooms, the back balcony, the pool. It is all perfect. We stayed with a large group of 16 guests and spent so much time just taking pictures every where we could. We also had a gala dinner all arranged by the staff and the execution was flawless. We cannot wait to come back. Bravo!
Amazing stay close to Bordeaux but still secluded. We enjoyed a relaxed 2-night stay (in a spatious room), and especially enjoyed the 24/7-available wine bar as well as the sunrise on the estate with a coffee (included even if no breakfast is booked).
Staff was very attentive and friendly, would definitely recommend!
Fantastic place on the garonne river. Loved having picnics outside and taste the wide selection of self pouring wines. Staff were excellent apart from a lady at the front desk that was kind of rude on the fact that we could not bring food to the swimming pool ( that wasn’t explained to us at check in ), she made us feel very uncomfortable. But the two other gentleman at the front desk were great!
Very cozy and nice hotel with a good location in relation to the Bordeaux area, cozy and clean rooms, nice pool area very good breakfast, can only be recommended if you want to explore the area, only 20 minutes with an UBER to the center of Bordeaux
The property was beautiful. Staff very helpful and friendly. Really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone. If you are looking for a place out of the way, easy to drive to and quiet with views of the water this is the place. Note: the facility does not have a full menu for dining options but lots of options near by.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
A beautiful chateau with some very nice amenities . However, more renovations are still needed. The staff is small and at times stretched to accommodate all guests. I do say the staff works hard to try make everyone’s stay perfect.
Probably the best place we’ve ever stayed! It feels like something out of a fairytale. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. The staff is always extremely friendly and ready to assist with anything you may need. If this resort had a full service restaurant it would be the greatest place EVER! Even without it they do have a really good breakfast and some great snack options like cheeses and bread. The pool is lovely and the ambience is just out of this world!
Hotel room didn't lock the first night. Everything was unsecure and management was miserable to deal with. Propped items up against the door at night to prevent anyone from entering room. Furniture dated and stained, staff was lackluster, overall experience was a total bust. Utter lack of concern for our privacy and security of valuables. Would not recommend!!!
The Chateau is a lovely building on the Garonne a few miles outside of Bordeaux. The room was large, clean & tidy and very comfortable. It is an ideal base for exploring Bordeaux and the surrounding vinyards. There is also a nice pool in the grounds. Breakfast is provided (at an extra cost) but there is no restaurant for dinner. There is a room service menu but it's not very inspiring. It is much better to go out to a local restaurant of which there are quite a few in the immediate area. While we were there the hotel had several events in an annex building but they did not disturb the hotel guests. The hotel has an ev charging point. You will need an activation card that you can get from reception. There is a 10 euro flat fee for each day that you use it. A nice hotel but perhaps a little impersonal.
