“We had a memorable stay at Hotel Grand Barrail. The service was impeccable from start to finish. The entire property is stunningly beautiful and exceptionally well-maintained. The room was spacious and comfortable, with one of the best hotel beds we’ve ever slept on. We absolutely loved our time here, which was relaxing and rejuvenating, and we hope to return! ”
Lovely for a night or two

“Everything you would expect from a five star resort
EXCEPT the hotel recommended wine tour which was poor no vine yard just a sales pitch of very expensive wine from a self promoting guide who soon lost interest when he didn’t see the big sale..
The quality of this recommendation soured the overal experience .”

“This is a very special hotel. The staff went above and beyond, the restaurant was fabulous, our room was beautiful and the grounds are spectacular, surrounded by vineyards. There is a pond with ducks and two beautiful swans who walk around the property. We arranged in advance for a picnic and had a lovely lunch on a blanket with an incredible view of the hotel, the vineyards, and of course, the swans. The pool, sauna and steam were also terrific. We rented a car in Bordeaux, and spent three nights at. Grand Barrail, exploring St. Emilion and only a few of the 800 wineries, dining at excellent restaurants recommended by the hotel. It is centrally located with easy access to the St. Emilion area. ”

“Would rate 6 stars if I could!! One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in, stunning, exceptional staff couldn’t do enough. Close proximity to St Emilion with the benefit of a free shuttle into town. Highly recommend. ”

“A wonderful setting for this beautifully maintained hotel. Great facilities with a variety of places to sit and relax whilst enjoying the local views. The restaurant for the evening meal was superb including the wonderful service, wine and food.
Sadly, the breakfast is more chaotic with a lack of coordination with the staff. For the standard of hotel, the selection of food was average.
The reception staff were incredibly welcoming and always helpful including a very handy shuttle service into St Emilion.
The spa was ok but lacked the luxury experience to match the rest of the hotel. The outdoor pool had a great setting with views to the main chateau, grounds or next door's vineyard. However, there is no attendant which lead to some children running about and shouting so detracting from the relaxing environment we were expecting. Fortunately this was not the case on all days we stayed.

“The hotel and the property can only be described as beautiful. The room was outstanding in every way with a terrace overlooking the vineyard a special treat. As outstanding all of this was, it was exceeded by the awesome Grand Barrail staff. Everyone was so genuine, pleasant and helpful; extraordinary! They really added to the enjoyment of our visit.”

“This hotel is in the middle of the vineyards so the food options are either eating at the hotel or going to an nearby city for meals. But the options in Saint Emilion are great and it's a beautiful old city. Labourne is a more modern city and is wonderful on Market day. The hotel itself is wonderful and comfortable...”

“Loved the property but disappointed that we were unable to eat in the restaurant in the evening as we were residents of the hotel. On the first night the wine bar was outside on the grass which was lovely but the second night it was in a smaller space and not exactly up to the standard we would have liked so we went out of the hotel to eat. Everything else was lovely.”
