The staffs were so irresponsible and unprofessional. In the last minute they told me on Sunday everybody is off and I needed to check in by myself following a specific procedure, which did not work at all and I could not enter the facility, ended up in booking another hotel nearby. They don’t even pay any attention to provide explanation or apology. If you want a trouble, this is a right place.

Beautiful place in the vineyards
This is a beautiful place in the vineyards. The room was large and nice, but no air conditioning. It was cool at night so not a big issue. Breakfast was good and I had it in the garden. There are restaurants not far away in the town of Sauternes. I did a tasting at their winery and at a place in the town. There are other wineries nearby. Overall a very nice stay.

Best vintages and misty mornings
Expectation: it's all about expectation! We arrived with open minds and were greeted delightfully, with charming courtesy by Elaine. Our room was on the 1st floor with views over Ch.d'Arche's lush vineyards, comfortable bed and bath. The view of the sun breaking through Sauterne's [essential] morning mist unforgettable. And a perfect opportuity to stock up on the Chateau's best vintages. Perfection

Peaceful as its name.
Value-add, spacious and graceful chateau. Short walk into town area. Situated amongst a productive vineyard and makes a beautiful Sauternes. Great breakfast with local produce. Recommend both restaurants in town, classic French and the other with fish/ steak grilled in the dining room fireplace. Recommend the local wines. A truly peaceful and beautiful stay, with friendly and helpful staff.

A must stay while in the Sauternes area
What a gem!! beautifully nestled in the winery estate of Chateau d' Arches, it is just a few minutes from the village of Sauternes. Great rooms, beautiful surroundings and excellent service. Breakfast is outstanding and the 7 pm estate Sauternes tasting is an unexpected and delightful treat

Quiet & close to many wine houses, but not 4*!
Booked here to be close to the numerous wineries in the area (Sauternes and Barsacs), but in hindsight I would have chosen to stay in Bordeaux proper. It's only a thirty minute drive away from most of the chateaus.

A pleasant location for a 1-night stop over.
Chose this hotel as it is out of town. Nice location and good for a one night rest. Receptionist was very helpful and booked us a nice local restaurant for the evening - No doubt on a commission! Not keen on a roll-top deep bathtub, which would take 1/2 hour to fill. No separate shower, so forced to use bath for showering causing a lot of spray all over the bathroom floor. Breakfast was minimal and expensive at 10 EUR per person. Room rate was reasonable of the website, but when local tax, breakfasts and VAT is added, the value was not so good. Overall a pleasant experience, but could have been even better if the above points had been addressed.

Wine Chateau in Sauternes
Booked two rooms for two nights but stayed three! Wonderful wonderful wonderful! No restaurant on site but two very lovely restaurants in town only a short walk away. Nice French breakfast for 10€ a person and good coffee. Spent a whole day "castle hunting". House wine put out each evening for sampling. Very clean and large rooms Highly recommend especially after 7 nights in Paris! One note to Americans - the French love their bathtubs. Most rooms equipped with bathtubs and hand held shower heads not what is considered standard in USA.

Beautiful Place in Sauternes
We stayed overnight. The rooms where very spacious, well apointed, clean, a bit worn (worn out carpeting) bed was comfortable. Extremely quiet. Very refreshing after a long trip. The place was almost impossible to find. Our Garmin GpS did not know it, the website coordinates where not recognized. We had to ask around in the tiny village. No WIFI... Not good. Overall very nice. Would recommend for couples mainly.

A beautiful hotel in the midst of the vineyards and offering very informative tours of the winery and delicious tastings. Also conveniently located for visits to many interesting chateaux to see inside. You definitely need a car.
