Au Vélo dans l'Arbre

The place was announced as being a vineyard, but it was not. It is a guesthouse, situated in the middle of wine farms and fields of wine. Lovely!! The host was very friendly and helpfull, and you could buy local wine directly from him. The rooms were nice and quite ok clean. But unfortunately the shared kitchen and lounge area could do with at bit of clean up. Same with the outside area which was in fact quite charming and vast, but again - a bit too messy. The breakfast was ok but very simple for the price (Eur 8.50). There was no restaurant (as announced), but the host offered to make marocan dinner, which we did not take. Overall - It was not as expected - a bit "oversold", but still we had a nice 3 night stay. Saint Emilion is a very nice city - in spite of the touristic atsmosphere. Go there out of season.

Such a friendly host. Clean and with air conditioning which was great. Super close to the train and town.

Staff were accommodating

We didn’t stay at the property although we had booked it. It was difficult to find and the signage once we did arrive to the correct place was not clear. On. Pointing this out to the owner he took great offence rather than accepting a little feedback. He accused us of not arriving on time, when no time had been agreed, yet we were there at 4:30pm when arrivals were from 3pm. I won’t go into the rest of the conversation, but we left to find alternative accommodation. As this place had good reviews previously I’m not sure why this went so badly wrong. I would add that it was not the property I was expecting and although by some vineyards they didn’t belong to the owner.

Maravilhoso
