L’Hostellerie de Plaisance offers an exceptional experience in the capital of Bordeaux’s right bank, Saint-Emilion. This celebrated medieval city is one of France’s most popular sites, attracting more than 1 million visitors each year—equivalent to the annual tourism for the entire island of Corsica!

Situated on the town’s summit, the Hostellerie offers an incomparable view of Saint-Emilion’s timeless landscape, whose exceptional vineyards were the first to be inscribed on Unesco’s list of World Heritage Sites.

Eighteen guest rooms and three suites designed in an elegantly modern style by Alberto Pinto offer the perfect setting for enjoying Saint-Emilion with complete ease: the city is at the hotel’s front door, and each window and terrace offers a stunning view of its medieval splendor. The same experience may be had at the Résidence Pavie, situated just 3 kilometers from the village in the heart of Saint-Emilion’s vineyards.

Finally, there is the Hostellerie’s 2 Michelin stars restaurant, where the creative cuisine of Philippe Etchebest, Grand Chef Relais & Châteaux, (Meilleur Ouvrier de France) is perfectly matched to an exceptional wine list—with the focus on Saint-Emilion, of course.

Chantal and Gérard Perse, together with their team, have made this historic site a place of refinement and welcome. Stone, wood and greenery have been united in perfect harmony with Saint-Emilion through the Hostellerie’s panoramic terrace, its magnificent views from the village heights, and the design of its two buildings connected by artistic, pastoral hanging gardens.
