Chateau de Courtebotte, Bordeaux, France



I have been spoilt with the opportunity to spend my past two weeks relaxing at the beautiful Chateau de Courtebotte in the heart of Bordeaux wine lands. This magnificent Chateau located in Saint Jean de Blaignac was built during the reign of Henri IV overlooking the Dordogne River. Chateaux de Courtebotte is surrounded by magnificent historic villages and vineyards of Saint Emillion, Pomerol, Médoc, Sauternes, Castillon and the Entre-Deux-Mers.


The estate has been recently renovated and offers four different accommodation options: The Hotel Rooms, The Suite, The Tree House and The Pavilion. I stayed in a week in both The Pavilion and The Suite. 

The Chateaux features a heated swimming pool, a Jacuzzi, a beautifully landscaped garden with a trampoline, cubby house, swing set and ping pong table and a grand fire place located within the ground floor of the Hotel. 


The atmosphere and peacefulness while staying at the Chateaux de Courtebotte blew me away. The Chateaux was completely booked out over the duration of my stay however you would never have know - I did not see more than two other families at a time.


There are lots and lots of local activities in the Region to see and do such as Caneoing, Winery Tours, Markets, Horse riding, Hot Air Ballon rides, bike routes and loads more. 

Definitely a highlight of my travels so far!!
