Chateau L'Ecuyer is set in 18 acres of gardens, vineyard and woodlands. It is situated on Bordeaux's 'right-bank' near Libourne. Nearby are the famous wine-making regions of St. Emilion and Pomerol. The city centre and the airport are each 40 minutes drive.


The house is sensitively decorated in a light, comfortable manner, mixing contemporary style with traditional features, like the large, open fireplaces. It has a fresh and relaxed feel yet retains its sense of French heritage.

A sun terrace overlooks the 12m swimming pool with Roman steps. Nearby lies a spacious covered barbeque area. From your table here the chateau's vineyards can be seen through a stunning parade of trees, which are floodlit in the evening. The chateau sleeps up to 15 people in 4 double, 3 twin and 1 single room.

Chateau L'Ecuyer can be rented throughout the year.
Please contact the owners for details.
